Tim Hendriks Review of Centerparcs Heijderbos
I've been here three times now with my girlfriend....
I've been here three times now with my girlfriend. Not for the bungalows but for the jungledome and the aqua mundo swimming pool.
The swimming pool is simply great, cool white water course and nice sauna if you are willing to pay extra.
Here also immediately the problem. Everything in centerparcs is of course about money. It's all well and good if you reach deep into your pockets for the things they offer.
But for the price we pay 5 euros parking fee. 20 euros pp swimming with sauna. And after swimming 25 euros for an hour.
I personally think all these prices are quite high. But you don't hear me complain about that.
The staff on the other hand. When we arrived in the car, we were received almost hostile. They asked in a nasty tone what we were doing and told us the reception was closed so we had to arrange everything from the car with the security guard. Our happy mood was immediately damaged. Ahja on to the pool and the fun started again. Then we are the real late stays. Swim until the pool really closes. So we leave at 9:00 PM, which results in a nice empty pool where we can go completely free in the last 20 minutes.
Nice you would think. Except that every minute we swam, one of the lifeguards' eyes were on you. Which can be very disturbing if you just want to play. And the worst was in the outdoor bath. I was lying in the bubble baths together with my girlfriend, chatting about quite personal and serious things. And before we knew it, a lifeguard came up 2 meters from us in both our field of vision. I am a young man of 21 and I can swim like an animal. But nothing can happen to anyone in a hot tub.
I simply didn't feel welcome and we felt watched.
After swimming we wanted to go bowling and we did. We paid, the man showed us the job and let us figure it out. A nice computer screen that took us another 10 minutes before we could bowl with scores.
Drink is a fairly normal catering price. But eat poohpooh. 5.50 for a small plate with exactly 8 inimini pickles, 6 cubes of cheese and 8 slices of sausage. In my opinion a very tragic intention and a deprecated feeling.
Its a shame, but there is nothing to do about it. Luckily we were able to make it a good day for me and my girlfriend. But go there again. Maybe someday for the whitewater course. Only 12 euros for that with a watch from lifeguards. Didn't see me
