Contexto cultural
The Dutch value 'gezelligheid' (coziness/social atmosphere). Calling a place 'mooi' often implies it is also 'gezellig'. In Flanders, people might use 'schoon' instead of 'mooi'. 'Wat een schone plek' is very common in Belgium. Afrikaans, a daughter language of Dutch, uses 'Wat 'n mooi plek'. The structure is almost identical. In Suriname, Dutch is spoken with a unique rhythm. The phrase is used similarly but often with more melodic emphasis on 'mooie'.
Use the Diminutive
Say 'Wat een mooi plekje' to sound more like a native speaker when referring to a cozy spot like a cafe or a garden corner.
Adjective Ending
Don't forget the '-e' on 'mooie'. Saying 'mooi plek' is a very common beginner mistake that sounds 'broken' to native ears.
