Centerparcs Heijderbos Reviews

I really like the Centerpark, but it could be cheaper. Also, there could be more slides in the pool and the wild water slide is the best of all slides.

Not recommendable!
Although the houses are in the middle of nature and the swimming pool (Aqua Mundo) wasn't bad, I would definitely NOT recommend this Center Park! It is true that Center Parks is more child-oriented and that there are quite a few activities to do. However, the negative aspects predominate:
* Far too few and sometimes very unfriendly and incompetent staff
* The bungalows are extremely dirty, so that one of the corners comes up.
* Too overpriced activities.
My tip: Please save yourself this stay and book a house on the beach !! It's worth more!

Great for children. Good swimming pool and the jungle is beautiful too. However, price and performance are not correct. Houses are old, cots moldy, more than saggy mattresses, broken inventory, dirt everywhere in the bungalow. Service in the restaurants underground. It was not a vacation. Definitely never again.

Unfortunately a huge disillusion after being well helped by an employee of the CenterCarcs booking center. Initially started looking for a pet-free house in this park but could not find it, the employee of the booking center had guaranteed me that the house was cleaned extra due to my allergy. Unfortunately the house was downright nasty on arrival, even without allergies everything was too nasty to grab. After a complaint at the reception, the house was cleaned again. At least .... A mop has been removed. View the photos and judge for yourself. No more CenterParcs for me. From now on, go to Landal again, which offer clean pet-free houses.

Dirty, very much broken 5 cranes not justified.
Much like in the Middle Ages and worn out
Not worth going to, more than disappointing. Windows were cleaned but only grease fingers from the outside were there on the day of arrival 3 fitters to repair something.
Outside area goes to waste, nothing is well-kept, staff-friendly communication is only possible in English, children under 12 are only allowed into the water with a life jacket or swimming license b who does not comply with it flies out.
In the swimming pool everything was very cramped and out of date. Locking bolts on the toilets are missing either you don't lock them at all or you are lucky and get it open again.
People save you the way and the gasoline is not worth it.
I've only been there 1 day and have already said never again.
If you come from the highway you should follow signs, forget it when you see the first sign you are already standing in front of it.

Fine Park lots to do also because of covid19
Just a pity that you could only swim 2x 1.30 hours During the entire stay.
For the rest, we enjoyed ourselves.

Unfortunately the park is very lousy. Not cleared away within 5 days. Ants in the bungalow. After message still despite cleaning. "Activity Vouchers" are only valid for those who do not want to do it anyway. Boating is not one of them. 15 . Climbing is not one of them. Only the climbing tower. And then all things are made according to dates. And so you stand in the rain on the mini golf course. Or on the pony pasture. Or on the tennis court. Or in other activities, of which there are a lot. (But the vouchers do not count and are pretty expensive ...) So you can just make a cozy evening in the jungle dome, where you fly the most colorful birds around the head, the koi swim around the feet and the children hide in tree houses. There is just as much to discover in the swimming pool. The highlights are of course the rafting slide and the fish tank, where you can scuba dive underwater for fish. Bowling is available, paintball, billiards, theater, casino- also for children .., Kettcar drive, petting zoo and of course everything before mentioned. This one gets his time in the park quite around. Until the next visitors come and transform the completely overburdened park into a complete stress chaos.

park is dated, house smells musty. The green is neglected.

A holiday park with all conveniences and activities. Fun for children and adults.

Information availability is dramatic. They rely mainly on an app, which has a disfunctional ui

After many positive stories about Centerparcs, my expectations were high. That is also possible for 1400 euros (including early bird discount). Let me start by mentioning that the area is very beautiful and relaxing. It's also nice that no cars are allowed to drive.

Unfortunately, those are the only positive points I have to report about our stay. The cottage was very outdated. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it smelled stale, cobwebs everywhere, blood stains from beaten mosquitoes on the curtains and walls. Towels you have to pay extra for (6.50 per person!). During my previous holiday stay you got fresh towels delivered to your house every day (at no extra cost). The furniture in the house is not comfortable (sagging beds). The outdoor area / terrace is not maintained.

In addition, everything in the park is very expensive and a lot has to be paid separately (cars, boats). The prices in the supermarket are way above a regular AH and the restaurants are too expensive for what is on offer (the all you can eat restaurant, 68 eu for 1 adult and 2 small children, with very few healthy choices).

The pool is not tropical, it is very cold inside! Especially for small children.

The coin machine was empty for the indoor cars so I was (very unkindly) referred to the game hall to get coins there. However, this turned out not to be possible there.

I understand very well that corona measures have to be taken (such as in the swimming pool), but to ask the full price is actually not possible.

To end with something positive, the hamburger at Snacks was delicious!

I would certainly not recommend this park.

Very nice and nice place to spend a nice time with your family / kids. Very valuable entry for the Centerparcs entertainment team. We enjoyed their show to the fullest. We thought it was a regular magic show for the kids, but nothing could be further from the truth ..... Really enjoyed their unusual music covers ..... thumbs up for Steven, Nathalie, Evi, Merlina, ......

Unfortunately, the apartment was getting a bit old. There is so much to experience!

Premium cottage was dated. Poorly cleaned (urine on the edge of the toilet) constant sewer air in the ball. Wi-Fi is very poor and has little reach with the phone while I am a KPN customer. Lack of maintenance in many areas. At some places in the park you could not walk because of the water on the road. Eaten at Evergreenz but what a tasteless whole that is. Burnt steak, tough spare ribs and everything tasted almost the same. Never again such a dated park despite the pool and certainly not for that money. Have been maintained and that they have forgotten at Center Parcs.

We did a day trip to the swimming pool. We have known the swimming pool for years and it was especially nice for my son (15 months). It was very warm about 30 degrees and all tease had a child-friendly temperature.

Very old but relatively well-kept. Unfortunately the beds were not made. Pavilion was not cleaned. There were also mice in the bungalow. The only plus point is the swimming pool.

Nice park And super nice houses, only less fun by covid
But otherwise it is great!

As the saying goes: sometimes childhood memories should stay with them. Full of anticipation, I have now booked 5 days at Center Parcs as an adult with my partner. Already when entering the bungalow there was quickly disillusionment. The rustic decor doesn't bother me, but it has to be clean! I was terribly disgusted. The sofa cushions are ancient and do not invite you to laze around. On the walls on the ceiling there are crushed flies, mosquitoes and other things ... in the kitchen the shelves are filthy. First I had to wash the things that we wanted to use. The floor sticks, the shower curtain is drinkable and I don't even want to start with the carpet in the bedroom or the beds. Center Parcs are not cheap, so why can't everything be kept clean and modernized? I don't understand that!
The Market Dome and the swimming pool are beautifully designed and the staff are warm and friendly. Those were the factors that made me want to stay on vacation.
I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow!

Very helpful staff , beautiful park with lots and lots to do and the refurbished cottages are just perfect

Unfortunately not to be recommended, for the price a cheek, everything has to be booked in advance and costs extra. Since we unfortunately only speak German, English and French, communication was difficult, almost all speak only Dutch. The park as a whole and the houses are extremely old. Many areas are blocked and not usable (due to Covid-19) so the price should have been adjusted. Incomprehensible that the normal price is charged but only 1/3 of the items can be used. Never again !!!!

Was okay. Due to the corona, a lot was limited and no longer possible. And over the years much has not been renewed. It looked a bit old.

The Center Parc is unfortunately pretty old. The whole environment is also a bit "wild", that means the smell, the environment and the houses are a bit pampered.
Unfortunately, this also applies to the interior of the houses. Kitchen utensils, remote control and TV, etc. are unfortunately partly so that you do not want to touch them. The beds, however, are always perfect at the Center Parcs. There is nothing to complain about. The size of the rooms, the layout and the location of the houses is fine.

Enjoyed our first holiday with our baby! Beautiful VIP house with breakfast service and linen package. When we arrived at 3.30 pm the house was not ready yet and we received a voucher for a cup of coffee and cake. At 4 pm we could enter our house.
Beds were neatly made and the house looked neat at first sight. It was not completely clean. Floor still had dirty spots and there was a lot of spider silk. Fortunately she is not crawling yet;). The sofa was also covered in hair.
Bedrooms were neat with nice thick pillows. It would be nice to be able to open the windows. There is only no screen in front of the windows and because there were still quite a few mosquitoes, we did not dare to do this now.
Breakfast service consists of 3 rolls per person and is different every day (hard bread rolls brown or white, currant bun, croissant and / or soft bun) and was brought neatly every morning! That is very nice!
Park is neat only in the evening we found it dark.

The park is beautiful. We had a wonderful weekend. The children and grandchildren were already home on Sunday evening. We wanted to go to the sauna on Monday. It was not available because something was broken. At the reception we were then given 2 tickets for a swim in a swimming pool of Centerparcs of your choice. Thanks for this nice solution.

We had a great time. Entertainment in the evening was nicely done. However, the bingo was pure beating. You can participate for 12 euros. The prizes that can be won, however, do not even come close to 12 euros in value. The "main prize" is a discount on your next visit.

We had a very nice holiday
Only annoying is that two slide of aqa amundo was not working because of the work.

Too bad with the corona the free activities are reduced the pool 1h30 for a day and full activities reduced in the pool very disappointed. The dom jungle 45 minutes this place and great but the children have no time to play otherwise the renovated accommodation is super clean.

Lovely holiday park. The real center parcs experience with a cozy market dome, exciting action factory and real jungle dome

The activities at the park are fun but on the pricey side. There are many different things to do for the children, which is a plus and there is also a very nice subtropical swimming pool. Only in my opinion may the houses also be properly refurbished it is somewhat dated

Very worn bungalows, for the price we expected more. The food in the restaurant was not outstanding either. The swimming pool was great.

Regrettable ,
There is a bar open at the opening hours until 11.30 pm and received nothing at 10.30 pm
Saddening

Bungalows already quite worn and gas stove without flame guard. Expensive attractions

I can give star
Should have ordered food reservations for parc for measures
Didn't know about anything
So no food only take out
Can't change in the pool
To the bungalow with wet clothes
What else
Have a VIP bungalow
Precisely ni vacuumed
Spiders everywhere
Are already dead
Get away from it all
Yes away from the world
During corona

A bit outdated cottages and extremely expensive activities

Very good and clean house (VIP house).
A gourmet package that you can buy in the store, with a gourmet plate to rent was also very good and complete.
Daily sandwiches at the door were also very tasty and fresh.

Only in the bedroom there was some dust against the wall on the carpet, but that can be seen through the fingers

Pizza not recommended ...
House clean!
Good and friendly staff!
Worth repeating!!!

Had a good stay. It is true that the language problem is difficult but the staff did their best to be as pleasant as possible. We want to thank (I do not know his name) a gentleman in particular he was at nonnas Friday night and Fuego this Sunday evening at the entrance of the restaurant very nice gentleman.

The accommodation was dirty, the floor had not been sucked or mopped for ages, the bath in the bathroom was filthy (there were still hairs from the previous occupant in it) and everything was covered with a layer of dust. In addition, all facilities around the market dome are enormously outdated and also just dirty. The pool was dirty and there were so many people that you can't swim there normally. We have the idea that many day visitors were allowed in the swimming pool. It didn't seem like a safe situation to us. Then I also thought it was animal abuse to keep the bats in the jungle dome.

Last time center parcs! Old derelict house. You still have to pay to have your bed made. Comfort cottage without any comfort not even a dishwasher. Sanitary old and dirty. Scrap metal ceiling with peeling paint. Benches under the stains and sagged. Blehhh ...

There are many and good activities. However, many are always from 8 years. We were with a 4 year old and 7 year old child there. The kids club activities were mostly only for 4 or max. 6 years.
For older children it is better.
Due to the "5 birdies" our expectations were higher than from a "3 birdies" park, the equipment of the bungalows in a 3 birdies park was higher.
Our bungalow did not seem to have been cleaned either.
There were cobwebs everywhere in the corners and ceiling (not just a few days) and the floor was dirty and did not seem to have been vacuumed.
Our bungalow also had a strange smell inside.
Unfortunately you could eat in 2 restaurants only by reservation. There was nothing free when we asked, though many tables were empty.

Otherwise, this is a beautiful park in nature. Also in the neighboring village you could go for a walk.

A beautiful park, friendly people but very expensive to eat out. So we cooked in the house every day. Unfortunately due to the corona still somewhat limited possibilities. Our Eden VIP house was very nice, clean and spacious. Rented an eCar, which is not only very handy but also very relaxed. All in all a good time.

Very outdated houses, poor signposting. Too expensive for what you get.

Nice park. Plenty to do, even outside the summer holidays! Cottages are old but do what they have to do. Nice kids entertainment, nice pool and the jungle dome is great fun! (best for older children)

Bringing your pet is also fine. The restaurants are very expensive and nothing special. You better eat just outside the park. You better skip the snack bar there anyway.

We had a great autumn holiday there!

Bungalow was less, not clean and very shelter.
Paid enough money and that in the off season !!
Fortunately, the weather was very nice, so we had a lot of fun in nature. enjoyed our family

Very nice place, sported as it should, many things to do, AquaMundo smaller compared to those already visited, Jungle Dome is to do to discover the children bat, roulroul .... With bridge of ... Mini farm, lake ... What to be very tired of his stay

Nice park .. is very spacious with many trees (wooded) .. if you are at the back of the park (like us) it is a 20 minute walk! Of course you can rent bicycles or an electric car.

Also adapts well to the corona measures ...

In general, the park is old and in need of renewal.

The food at the restaurants on the plaza is quite expensive and the quality very low ...

Very busy, commercial and for the price I expected more

Everything was very old and in need of renovation. In the evening the paths are hardly lit. Water temperature in the swimming pool is uncomfortably cold.

Unfortunately only relatively short opening times from the Jungle Cathedral

Cozy family park, a lot is organized to keep you entertained in the evening. And you can eat delicious food in the pizzeria in the park with super friendly service.

Great park, partly the bungalows were renovated. Great gastronomic offer. Very fair prices, only the sanitary facilities in the Aqua Mundo would have to be renewed. No pisoirs, accordingly always dirty toilets.

Really very nice especially aqamundo and the jungle doom I like it I just got home again but I really enjoyed it

Unforgettable vacation for the water park, beautiful day and night. Our children can not wait to go back. We recommend it especially to those who have children. We recommend VIP bungalows.

Didn't have high expectations. We didn't swim because half the pool was out of order and you could only enter the pool for 45 minutes. We did not know this when we went to book. Through a lot of detours you will find out all the restrictions that are in the park. This should be much clearer on the website if you want to book at a park and adjust the prices accordingly. Bingo was quite fun, the ladies did their very best to make it a fun hour and a half with just 30 guests. It is a pity that we did not know how to bring something to drink ourselves. House was outdated and around us were all containers with construction waste because houses were being renovated so that was not nice. The roads are also due for a major overhaul, everything was broken or patched up. For a weekend it was ok. I just don't think you can call the park car-free, guests can arrive on all days of the week, so cars drive in and out of the park all day long. For example, we were there from Saturday to Tuesday.

Beautiful holiday park for families with children, playgrounds, boiling pools, apartments, bar, restaurant

This time a super clean house. Also the staff with these names nikolay jean do dennis jill miloe swen soem a sweet young. Great to us also with the staff

Beautiful surroundings, but houses and interior leaves something to be desired!

The houses are not modern but fine The park is large, our houses were far from the central part, against a provincial road. Car-free is a nice try, but unfortunately does not work. The activities are pricey but fun. The jungle dome is beautiful, beautiful for the adults and a play paradise for the children.

Lovely park, lots to do. The swimming pool in particular is a top attraction. Enjoyment for the whole family

Cottage was anything but clean on arrival. First clean myself, which I might as well do at home.

Beds that give you back pain, pillows that give you a headache.

Cars are not allowed in the park, which means that you have to go all over the park with your groceries.

A great park, super courteous team, super friendly and damn helpful.
The parc was opened in 1985, which you can see, which does not bother us, since there are only minor things and the team tries to fix it.

Fantastic swimming pool. That's what you do it for.

Disappointed

We were unfortunately disappointed. This was our 3rd Center Parcs stay and this was not good. But everyone should still have their own experience / opinion / make.

The jungle cabana was dirty. The entire floor not wiped totally messed up. In a corner mold (was trying to hide with a trash can). The dinner a joke. Constant sonication through loudspeakers instead of just letting the few animals make their own sounds. The soundproofing of the cabana was not available to sleep was out of the question. Everything about activities must be paid extra. drinks incredibly expensive even 0,33 L of water 3,10 The changing rooms in the pool were a joke everything a lot apart everything was dirty. there was no storage space. The entire swimming pool completely outdated. Only the waterslides were good. We went back after one night !!! The reputation of Center Parks is great, but unfortunately it can not be approached.

It is a super fun holiday park. You can do all kinds of fun things like: laser gaming, paintballing and there is a swimming pool with a wild water course super fun !! I would like to live there

Nice park. Very large, we were at the back and that is a long walk to the exit and the Plaza.

On arrival a cottage that cannot possibly be cleaned. Dirt on the floor everywhere, spiders everywhere, even in the refrigerator was a spider. The toilets were gross, urine from previous visitors still present, the toilet seat for the children also covered in stains and dried urine. So first be able to clean yourself.
Received a coupon for a free drink. Fine...
But then due to corona measures you are only allowed to swim for 1.5 hours and only 2x maximum per stay. You don't get more vouchers. Then you have to enter via an emergency exit afterwards and you will be standing in line for 30 minutes. All depends on your time. Showering is not allowed. It appears that you can only enter the jungle dome once an hour. The first time we were 10 minutes late for our timeslot, no one had said that we had to be there punctually between 8.55 and 9 am and that the door would otherwise be locked again. So reserved on Monday. You are there at 8.50. Nobody. Finally called at 9.15. Oh sorry we are sending someone. After 10 minutes no one seen. Opens an employee who happens to be spraying the plants there. Just no one was sent.
In short, not worth repeating.

For a park that is so forced to implement the corona rules, it is a shame that they do not invest a little more in a decent cleaning. You can expect a lot more, especially considering the prices you pay. This is downright bad. Holiday homes are never spotlessly clean, but I've never experienced that bad

Nice, cosy bungalows. The parc is well maintaince and beautifullynlocated un the forest

Reviewing ONLY the Cottage 8pers. + Parking=
Was oke. Could've been better, specially the whole parking situation. Had to walk a lot of times when you forgot something in the car. It is not fun when your with elderly people who dont have a disability (for the handicap card), but are just old and weak.

In a house for 8 people. Fine to do just a pity that the houses are so outdated.

Never stayed in a centre parks before and after arriving at this what looked to be a run down dump I don t think I ll ever be going back. Room 470 looked like it hadn t been looked after for 10years. Internally it s seen better days and externally the same. A hike from the car park everyday started to be a grind we were on a junior football tour so had lots of equipment to drag back and forth and it put us right off. What seemed like friendly staff were helpful but wouldn t allow us to drop things off daily in our car.
I wouldn t recommend and for the price your having a giraffe (laugh).

Somewhat older the park. Bungalow should have been cleaner.

Holiday park in a wooded area. Swimming pool, shops and some small restaurants in the park. In addition, all kinds of facilities and entertainment for young and old. Cottages are fairly clean, have reasonable beds and contain everything you could need. Only the houses could certainly use an upgrade, because the interior, kitchen and bathroom seem to come directly from the nineties of the last century.

Swimming pool is smaller than at previously visited Center Parcsen. Market Dome is small and the portions in the restaurants also small.
