Only visited the great pool, kids an adults alike love it. Didn't stay in an apartment
Lovely especially for children there is a small farm on the premises where the children can touch the animals or even take care of a pony for a few days
One of the better center parcs that I have visited. Very good swimming pool and friendly staff.
Nice VIP cabin and aqua Mundo is good albeit dangerous for small kids (lots of sharp edges and stones even in the toddler area). Outside area good need a bit better care. Will come again
We booked Center Parks for a week, and left after four nights, as we simply couldn't bear it any more. It is beyond me how this place has five stars.
First, the good thing: the swimming pool 'Aqua Mundo' is really great.
Beyond that, not so much.
The cottage we stayed in was depressing, and that is being kind. It's a cinder block box in the woods with poor ventilation. The beds are super small and very uncomfortable. When I checked at the reception for a different type of mattress, the lady was trying to be helpful and suggested getting an air mattress.
We had a little accident in a play area of a restaurant, where one of our boys hurt is foot. It seemed pretty bad, so I called the emergency number from the app. I had to interrupt the lady a few times because she kept explaining that this number was for emergencies. After finally getting her attention that this was indeed an emergency, she tried to explain where the first aid station was located. After explaining again that he couldn't walk, she sent the first aid guy from the pool. Nobody from the restaurant either noticed the accident or felt compelled to check in. The first aid guy was marvellous, and really helped calm down our boy. The next day the swelling hadn't subsided and brought him to the hospital and a quick x-ray confirmed a fractured bone in his foot.
Regarding the restaurants - We gave Fuego a 3 star (out of 5), and Evergreenz a 2 star rating (food on par with Ikea). The Grand Cafe, was particularly disappointing
The Grand Cafe is an authentic Amsterdam cafe, and not in a good way. It was hard to get the attention of the server, and when we got his attention the order was full of errors.
Being American, we ordered ketchup with the fries, which did not come with the food. We asked again, and still it didn't arrive. I finally walked up to the bar to ask, and after some debate (they wanted me to ask the waiter), I finally got a tiny dish of ketchup.
Later, when receiving the bill, we noticed that this ketchup has been added to the bill for €.50. I looked, and nowhere on the menu did it say that ketchup cost extra.
When we ordered fresh mint tea, we asked the waiter for honey, and again it didn't arrive with the order.
When we ordered desert, it took so long I am convinced they forgot to order it. After reminding, someone came over quickly with the ice cream.
While paying the bill, the drinks from a nearby table were included on our bill.
Did I mention the food? I tried the focaccia with Thai chicken, which turned out to be two toasted crackers with curry sauce on the chicken.
One of the things which motivated us to get out of that park was when we observed so many other parents having a horrible time. Yelling at kids and generally being grumpy.
It is simply not a happy place.
Great for a relaxing, yet active holiday. We went there with a 3-year-old and a baby and could easily keep them occupied with a great indoor playground (Baluba), where parents are able to join in all the activities (guess who tires first).
The water park also offers plenty of different pools and slides to keep you going.
Finally, the children's petting zoo is always a hit, same as the pony rides.
On the downside, do not expect a full-fletched kid's club. There is nothing for a full day (only timeslots). While there are activities, nearly all come with an additional cost. The kids disco is only 3 songs long and is not held every day (even now, during summer, there is i.e. no disco on Friday or Monday).
Nothing special to this Centerparks
Housing is clean but nothing fancy and a little worn out.
Very nice place to spend a holiday with kids with plenty of free activities to choose from in a green environment The bungalows are clean and tidy and the staff very friendly and helpful.
It has a good ambiance, surrounded by forest. Cottages are little old but cozy equipped with a nice looking fireplace. Nature around this park is fun to walk or cycle around.
We've been here twice now and love it. It's so relaxed, loads to do and fantastic staff. Love it!
Only been here for two days, but so far most things are very good. Accommodation in a comfort lodge for 8 is very nice, not as tired and worn as I thought it might be, in fact it is in very good condition (Lodge 582), very clean and well equipped. Swimming pool area is very nice. The kids soft play area is good but very warm with no air conditioning, it is 39+ outside thought. Lots of mosquitoes though, so come prepared.
