Thomas Twardon Review of Centerparcs Heijderbos
So,
So,
As a visitor to several center parcs, the parc is one of the worse ones.
At first glance, the park is well thought out with their activities.
But on the second .......
We live in a vip eden house. So already "very upscale" according to the network with everything your heart desires listed. Unfortunately, not quite so in reality. We didn't have a grill as promised on the internet. Accordingly, not taken. Arrived, complained, were told to buy a cheap grill in their shop (I don't even need to start with the price). At the edenhaus this is not included (whirlpool, rain shower, sauna and co. But yes) That was point 1.
We come to the (in my eyes) not entirely safe swimming pool. This is the first swimming pool where my son is terrified of going slides. 1. If you bang your tailbone several times (regardless of whether it is a normal tube slide apart from its poorly constructed catchment basin or the inner wild water course), and in both cases you are pressed under water for a short time and you don't get up to die.
Then the "bread service" belonging to the vip house ....
Fresh bread rolls are promised every morning which are brought to the front door.
They are on time, but the rolls are not fresh but really hard on the outside. Then the amount of rolls brought changes daily.
Since these are hung on the door in a simple bag, it has already happened several times that birds tear up the bags on the door and help themselves. Here apparently a known problem where there is no remedy on the other hand / wants to exist. (You should put something out yourself where it could be packed ... if you are there for the first time and do not know that, you are just unlucky)
Then we come to the last point that I find extremely outrageous ...
I know that the prices of gastronomy are raised in such a park. But here it is not even considered in relation to the other parks.
Selling a bottle of wheat beer (purchase price around one euro) for a nice 5 euro is hard. Not even in a matching glass. Nice from the pulp.
I don't even need to start with their outrageous cocktail prices! (This is more water and ice instead of cocktail in a simple drinking glass)
Ice that is completely frozen (with ice crystals in it) and offered in a normal drinking glass is offered for about 5 euros, doesn't fit in my eyes either!
But I have to credit them for the jungle dome! My son had a lot of climbing fun there and it's also great!
Compared to other parks, this one is a rip off for "non-activities".
I can't say if it's because it's a Dutch center parc. But that is not reasonable.
Conclusion; Self-sufficiency and at most use the activities or do something outside of the park ... (but then you can leave it alone.)
I was personally much more satisfied with the German parks.
I'm not going there again with the family.
