Niklas van Koll Review of Centerparcs Heijderbos
A new surprise every day
A new surprise every day
We booked 5 days through an early bird promotion and we also got activity vouchers for this. The joy was great but quickly diminished when they learned that not all promotions could be redeemed. So it's not a shame paintball / escape room / archery or only with a lot of additional payment.
It would be better to distribute 3 vouchers directly where it is explicitly stated what they are for. Example: "Minigolf Voucher" or "Bicycle Voucher". Just as a hint.
Well, on the day of arrival we were only allowed into our bungalow from 3 p.m., that was known. We started earlier because we can still use all the activities. Unfortunately the jungle dome was closed on Mondays, too bad.
Other activities could then be booked through the center or a terminal.
It's a shame that pedal boating was also fully booked and that we can't have a boat until 4 p.m. However, all the boats were lying still on the lake ... well how am I supposed to explain this to my children that this is not possible now.
So a playground which was at least quite neat apart from cigarette remains in the sand.
3 pm finally in the bungalow. Unfortunately, unfortunately very dirty, so we had it cleaned again.
Coffee filter not changed. Tables dirty. Dishwasher full and not running. a bit disgusting.
In the meantime to the swimming pool, which luckily was open.
Wave pool good, toddler area good, plunge pool good, 1 slide good.
But: steep slide, wild water slide, complete outdoor area closed for a whole month. In addition to the unacceptable chemical stench because of the renovations, the highlight on our first day.
I absolutely cannot understand why one is not informed about something like that, then one can rebook or adjust to it if necessary.
The next morning brought the next surprise. If we were surprised the day before about the number of people who had redness on their skin, we were now affected ourselves. Mosquito bites were clearly eliminated. At the reception they didn't want to know anything about bed bugs and put us off with the oak procession spinner and that we should avoid corresponding trees.
So we experienced a new surprise every day. Another highlight is that restaurants open after a certain time, but are ready for operation only after another hour, since deep fryers do not have to warm up. Really priceless with young children.
If Center Park again then definitely in another.
Unfortunately, the positive childhood memories could not be confirmed.
