We are a young family with 2 children 7 years old and were looking for vacations for the winter school holidays and saw the commercial of Certerparc on TV. Since we have never been to a center parc the opportunity. Read many reviews on Centerparcs in advance, good and bad. We mostly had good experiences on site. More on that later. The few bad experiences right at the beginning of the booking process. Via the Internet you can select the desired location, travel period and accommodation and have found a supposedly cheap week in our travel period in Het Heijderbos. But what I only found later when researching on the Internet that if I had booked exactly the same thing via the Dutch Cernterparc.nl website, we would have paid 200 euros less. In times of the European Union, I don't think that's up-to-date and is not okay with German customers. Later, during the payment process, I also found that the price was suddenly 100 euros more expensive than I had previously been shown. On closer inspection, I found that there are additional costs, e.g. if the holiday home has a kitchen or 33 euros if I determine a holiday home with a number myself. Furthermore, many other completely overpriced activities are offered to you during the payment process, which we have foregone. e.g. towels, breakfast rolls to the house, the additional W-Lan for 40 euros. In the park there is the free basic wifi that was quick and easy. Think people who need a lot of data anyway have a mobile phone contract with flat rate and high data volume. The park has many outdated holiday homes, but this is well known and can be read everywhere on the Internet. Nevertheless, our house was clean and everything was available according to the Centerparc description. The staff is very friendly. Everywhere in the park you can see a lot of staff who look after the park and keep it clean. In the park itself there are many bars and restaurants where you can eat and drink well and expensive. We completely catered for ourselves during the week and used the saved money for leisure activities. Conclusion: The Centerparc is just right for families with small children and I can highly recommend it because of the many leisure activities.
