Centerparcs Heijderbos Reviews

Nice park with a lot to do for everyone. Take a well-filled wallet with you because they know their prices.

Totally awesome. Only in the bathroom I missed trash cans

Had a wonderful week with my wife and 2 dogs. Great beautiful surroundings and plenty to do in the park and in the neighborhood.
Good food in the restaurants, very nice pool. Inexpensive bicycle rental.

Checking in and out (if you can call it that) is ideal and is done from your car at the entrance of the park.

The beds in the 2 person premium cottage were really awful, hence the 3 star rating.

Still special to walk around here in covid-19 time, unfortunately not able to use the aqua mundo, action factory, jungle dome, restaurants (except take away) and petting zoo. Still, we really enjoyed the peace and environment. Would love to come back with our swimming trunks as soon as possible.

Although something can be done about general maintenance, it is a great park! Neat but somewhat dated houses, but what an environment! Wooded area, many activities for the children that are also open during the low season. Toppers are the jungle dome and the aquadome. Recommended

Neat apartments. Beautiful nature and a nice swimming pool!

One of the best parks. Great leisure activities, many attractions in the area.

Hospitable, spacious, clean houses and many activities.

Facilities top (pool and now gungle). Houses outdated

Good service, nice neat houses. The park looks nice. During the Christmas period we were even surprised with a Christmas tree in the house. Very nice!

Fine for 8 people. Enough space, TV, coffee makers, beds that are wonderful. Really recommended.

Cleanliness is not very important here.
Especially in the bathroom. It is sometimes really disgusting.
There has been no vacuuming under the beds for months. There was so much filth there. That's not nice.
When an opposite apartment was cleaned, we knew why. A whole hour (living room, two bathrooms, a guest toilet, four bedrooms, kitchen and dining room) was "cleaned" inside. Including beds. The complex itself is not really well maintained. There is dirt everywhere, the water stinks and is probably never cleaned. At the bowling alley, shoes are NOT disinfected after use!
Accordingly, I saved myself another visit to the swimming pool and the like.
The central location is good. It is about 1.5 hours to Amsterdam. To Nijmegen about 20 minutes and to Eindhoven about 45 minutes. The Kaufland in Germany is only about 20 minutes away. A "Spar" (supermarket-like item) is available, but it really only offers the most basic.

Everything closed at 11 pm every day pfff terrace at 8 pm every day unbelieveable !!!!!

Vanwege covid19 en onderhoud aan aqua mundo wat nog amper 24 uur voor vertrek will be reported !! In daarbij het park gerenoveerd met as following veel verkeer voor deur kan ik niet meer dan 2 sterren given ondanks het prima gerenoveerd huisje!
Because of covid19 and maintenance by aqua mundo, which was reported barely 24 hours before departure !! And the park is currently being renovated with a lot of traffic in front of the door, despite the well-renovated house, I can't give it more than 2 stars!

Beautiful park with a wooded area. Nice market dome and an educational jungle dome for the kids.

Given the large distance between the houses and the market dome, I find it ridiculous that park is car-free, a 45-minute walk to get to the pool with a child of 4 is not a thing! The advice is to park your car in front of the house and parking space in front of the market dome so that you can drive that great distance!

Extremely enjoyable time. Everything easily accessible to shop, eat and play for the entire family. VIP cottage worth every penny.

Everything was getting very old (we were exactly ten years ago) and not much was done. In the (VIP) houses e.g. Only the bathrooms have been renewed and maybe the lamps in the house changed, but otherwise everything else (wooden ceiling, old sofa probably with fleas, old kitchen, old radio ...) nothing is done. The windows only to fold, in hot summers a big drawback, as well as no air conditioning is available.
The environment outside would also have to be overhauled as new trees, in front of our house was once like one was still the stump to see, and flowers, I thought we are in the land of flowers, as well as the waters.
A lot has to be done in the Aqua Mundo.
The bikes are not much maintained (worn tires (the mountain bike our daughter had a plate the next morning), rusting chains, not working brakes ...) we had borrowed some and returned on the day of departure, without it in the Workshop went to check, we should just turn off again.
The opening hours of the shops and restaurants are not what I had hoped for in a resort.

Simply the best white water course in the Netherlands so far

The park is very nice, but partly very old. Our apartment was unfortunately very dirty, dead mosquitoes stuck to the walls, broken windows. We did not feel comfortable in the apartment.

Unclean bungalow, totally dirty bathroom, totally excessive prices in the only supermarket, as well as in all restaurants and cafes.

Prices for the swimming pool is outrageous as a family

The facility is very nice, but our (VIP) house is getting on in years. the patio door could only be opened with a lot of force, lights sometimes didn't work and the furnishings didn't match the pictures (much older). Unfortunately, the service also left something to be desired, e.g. Bedding for the cot was not even delivered despite calling again.
The possibilities - especially for children - are very diverse, therefore 3 stars despite the criticism.

Recreational activities are great for kids. Also for Pokemon Go players a dream.
However, one would have to keep an eye on the cleanliness, the bathtub not clean or dirty curtains can unfortunately lower the overall impression.

Our "Comfort" house for 6 people is unfortunately getting on in years. The mattresses are partly worn out. Rust on the sink in the bathroom. Cleanliness a smooth grade 5! In the bathroom by the sink, beard hairs from the previous guest, cobwebs everywhere, under the couch the sweets from the previous guests ... It is absolutely incomprehensible to us that the cleanliness is constantly being complained about, but nothing changes. So much blabla and nothing changes ..
We will definitely not be back and we are very disappointed!

It was a shame by Corona that everything was limited in time and that some things were blocked, as the swimming pool was a bit small compared to other center parks.

Unfortunately my wedding ring was stolen from the pool lockers. Several open broken staff very helpful and also great help with the guest service. Unfortunately I have not heard from the thief yet and my wedding ring is fetsie, I think it is ruined

The park is getting a bit old. But what is much worse is the poor cleanliness. We had booked a modernized house, this was completely uncleaned and neglected. Cobwebs and thick layers of dust everywhere. In the fridge and microwave there were still crumbs and leftovers from the previous tenant. Apparently the baby chair has not been cleaned for a long time.
The 2 stars are there for the nice staff and the compensation we got after our complaint. For us it was the first and last time centerparc.

Unfriendly staff. Even hungry. While I am just coming to charge. Not to be treated unfriendly. Park outdated. Poorly polished.

This Centerparcs has, I think, a better environment: nature and the location of the cottages. The possibilities in terms of sport and play are more limited in this Park. The Jungle Dome (= playground) and the Action Place (= sport and adventure) are no longer open after 5 pm and 6 pm. From this time on there is nothing more to experience. The tropical swimming pool is nice: Warm water temperature and pleasant temperature in the dome, family and green water slides are great, the wild water course is fierce and not for those who don't like bruises and water: D
The cottage is as they always are, the people from the cleaning have done their best, the cottage looks fine and clean when we arrive. Everything you need for the daily business is available.
In short, a Centerparcs that can be repeated and our family has had many pleasant moments!

It was very nice there. Only in the indoor playground you have to pay most of the attractions extra, I think that's impudence.

after 3 years we were there again. Unfortunately, everything came down.
we were always very satisfied but this time we were shocked.
The food was unfortunately a letdown.
It has decreased a lot, the choice is no longer there.
Every morning the same. In the evening there wasn't really a change either.
We had an apartment. Everything is older but that doesn't matter. But the cleanliness is poor. Spider fabrics hung from the blankets and dirty dishes in the drawers.

It's a shame that it has subsided so much. It was always very nice.
That was our last visit for the time being.

Wild water course is very wild, but good to do with the short cut

Center Parcs typical! Lodges between trees and ponds. The ponds unfortunately lead to the fact that there are a lot of mosquitoes here, which is quite annoying in the vicinity of the lodges. However, this ambience really offers many opportunities for the kids to play. Unfortunately, due to the amount of water, you have to watch out for children who can't swim all the time or keep an eye on them. The jungle theme is implemented quite well and the "climbing park" really offers a lot of fun for ages 2-12. Parents should also be fit here to be able to participate with the kids. 1 point deduction for everything that really costs extra. Anyone who knows center parcs knows that and is prepared for it. Nevertheless, the costs can quickly go up here. Another point deduction for cleaning the lodge. Unfortunately, the work was sloppy here.
Would definitely come again!

We were with our three children (14 years, 11 years and 18 months) for a week in the park. We liked it a lot. The swimming pool was something for all three. The baby pool is great. For the youngest was a visit to the children's farm every day a must. We really felt very well. With such a large facility, not everything can be up to date. Our bungalow was a bit older, but quite adequate. We had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

I come here regularly to swim. Very nice swimming pool with a nice and long whitewater course.

I have been to the swimming pool and it has been arranged pearly there

I found the reception poor. So I had to walk to my house in the covered jungle on foot, lugging my luggage. They should make a cart or something available for that. The room was terribly small, you don't really want to be here long. So you had to go to the common room for toilet and water. Furthermore, very nice with animation, etc. The Bq is a must. Romantic, many and delicious. Very nice waitress !!!

Very green. Great possibilities for children. Dogs can be taken with you. Pony and horse riding possible

The park is becoming rather dated. Apartments are neat in themselves, but after 30? Year is no longer optimal, muffins, etc.

Very nice swimming pool! In great condition, very well maintained. Sufficient personnel to watch over the very fast wild water river.

We had a nice stay and everyone adhered to the Corona rules very well. The only thing that we didn't find so great were the houses that were really getting on in years. Beds were very comfortable and the furnishings timeless. Nevertheless, you can tell the age of the park in the Aqua Mundo. All in all we had a wonderful vacation there. The surroundings of the park are also very beautiful. We will definitely come back sometime.

The standard bungalows are very old. Fortunately neat.

It was our first time in a center park. The house for 8 people was fine. What we saw often was ... out of order .... of course we had a lot of rain during the week and not a lot of opportunities to do something with the kids. It was strange that there were cameras in the locker rooms The evening shows were poor. So you can save yourself sitting down there in the evening. Gamesworld opened the day before departure. Unfortunately, this was not announced on the website. I can praise the service team and the wellness area. Very nice. I personally would not go there again because the system is very old. There is an urgent need for action here.

Although getting old but highly recommended for families with children.

VIP house look nice. Nice park. Everything scoon and tidy.

Been here many times. Still love it. Friendly staff, more than enough to do.

The swimming pool is beautiful. The live entertainment that we have seen Monday evening was very poor. But all in all we keep coming back

The activities are well and truly present, although closed at 6 p.m., only the bowling remains open until midnight.
but a lack of maintenance is visible on each house, the roof bars have fallen, the color very dirty, the path not cleared, everything is really almost neglected, is this the period when the maintenance that does not is not present ?!
Our maisonette had unemptied trash and a used condom inside!

Very disappointed with this Center Park!

24 hours in advance we were notified that major maintenance was being carried out on the whitewater course. Now we could swim for half an hour in 7 days. What do you go to CenterParcs for in winter ????

Nice and cozy park located among the trees. Facilities are very good!

The houses are now getting old, a renovation would be appropriate, but on the whole quite okay.

We have booked a Premium cottage on the assumption that it would also be a better one. But it is really even more outdated than you see on the photos on the internet.
We will certainly never go here, but never again. What an old-fashioned filthy thing.

We went to this park for the Aqua Mundo, but we had seen it within 1 hour. Really great fun for children, but not for a couple. 1 slide and a very hard white water course.

They get 2 stars because the food there was good and the beds are delicious.

The white water slide can be quite painful otherwise very nice there. But in the dressing rooms, the floor is very dirty

Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, price performance ratio is not right.

very nice there swimming pool a bit disappointing and store is 3 times as expensive as a normal supermarket

Unfortunately immediately went wrong with EV charging. Really unfriendly staff at the P entrance, Scott and Harry or so who don't quite understand urgency and limitations of ev. Instead of helping to solve an emergency, they treat you like a thief. The two only ev poles are constantly occupied but a normal power at the third place also works but then you are almost beaten up. My advice, come here embarrassed and keep in mind that you can achieve a maximum of 22 km per hour. When the car is parked, you also reverse 5 km a day and then empty battery appears to be bad for EV. Do not know if you can charge electric fitsen here and why not car? The costs are a tenner if you load full and if you go somewhere else, you will also eat there.
Centerparcs will not only have to renew houses, but also mentality, IT and planning. We get a whole bag of sandwiches that we half of white bread is bad for you. Booking activities with a voucher is also not possible via the app, so you have to walk to the reception, but on the way if you have to commute to EV charging points.

This park is full of things to do. aqua mundo has wave pool, family slide, coral pool, green slide, outdoor pool with ice bath and white water rink. (copy of sherwood forest) jungle dome has slightly dated birds, turtles, many climbing trails, slide, jungle cabana, cottage 402 But clean. This park is on top 2 of all center park parks.

Old cottages could use an update, beds were hard to lie on, swimming pool was big but busy and the staff was not always nice and helpfull.

Expected more. Huttenhete and more are much cheaper and better. Heijderbos has very poor service in the market domain, I was extremely annoyed by it. Next time center parcs no Heijderbos in any case! Centerparcs is generally not what it used to be. Price quality is really a long way off.

450 euros for an old junk house house nr 473 is really way too much money. a lot of overdue maintenance. sausage also called with comfort. the park maintenance is also not good. positive is the nice staff. but this park really needs a revamp. everything is very expensive. if it is such a faded glory then that is actually not possible.

also a pity that you never get any feedback from the management.

The undersigned had a VIP house, which meant that you got all kinds of extras, larger house with separate bedroom with TV and safe, living room with open kitchen and fireplace, 42 inch TV with Bluetooth soundbar, large bathroom, with whirlpool, sauna with ultra light, and separate shower including rain shower. Fresh bread rolls are delivered every morning between 7:00 and 9:00. Because there is Corona, there is a curfew at the time of writing, so be in before 21:00, also here at the park. There are also 2 restaurants open for takeout only. The swimming pool and the Jungle Dome are closed due to corona. In general, the staff is friendly with one exception (big mouth, to the point of being rude about not wearing a mouth mask, while your hands are full). Outside the park, there is a good takeaway restaurant.

You don't have to go far to get into a vacation bubble! We had an older house, which was clearly visible. But everything was very clean!

Don't stay a day longer because everything is closed on Mondays

Na Center Parks is not for me as we visited well known on the weekend we were really disappointed they paid so much money and their house was not even clean. The whole terrace was dirty with leaves and dirt the beach chairs were broken and totally filthy there long empty beer cans around it just bad I would not have paid the money because inside was clean.

House 811.

Had a wonderful holiday to escape the reality of 2020. Despite the fact that the catering industry is closed, they have neatly made takeout points for snacks and another restaurant. Facilities are limited but you can still use many, such as swimming for 45 minutes or bowling for an hour. Disinfection points are everywhere and everything is one direction. Mouth masks remains difficult. Is it now or not? I myself wore it in public indoor spaces but those who didn't make it a game of challenging by panting on your neck on purpose, which is a shame.

House 811. Spacious living room with streaming option from your mobile devices to watch Netflix, fireplace, your own mini spa with jacuzzi and sauna, rain shower, bedroom and dining area next to an open bar kitchen. This house has been nicely renovated, but this was done in a hurry, this is reflected in the loose floor tiles in the bathroom that creak and move when you walk on it, sealant along the bath is already loose, so that water can get between the wall and the bath. On the wall here and there extra painted so that your color differs with spots. Do not see this as a downside but a tip to center parks to keep an eye on houses that still need to be renovated because repair costs afterwards are more expensive than if you have it done right immediately.

Not to mention the cleaning also deserve praise. It is not easy to clean such a house within a few minutes and that so many in one day.

All in all a wonderful experience and the staff are super friendly and make your stay as if you were at home.

I will miss you and hope to see you soon!
And the dear animal visitors too of course

Unfortunately, our experience is not much better than what I already read here. A shame because I really think it can be a very beautiful park with a lot of potential and possibilities.

The houses and the park are certainly no longer up to date. I think they have yielded enough to invest to get everything to this time.

The little house. A lick of paint or another painting on the wall is not enough. The house is old and you can barely see outside, the windows are so filthy. When I look outside on the terrace I am very sad. We are 4 people but we don't even have 4 seats, now we just grab the seats inside and problem solved. It is a pity that the neighbors have a whole new garden set. There are more things like that. We are in the 900 numbers with our house and I understand that we are in the woods, but I still believe that you should do maintenance on the forest around the house.

They have already opened part of the park and thinned out the landscape (forest). It already looks better here. The people sitting here have no chance of dead branches falling on them. The park is full of dead trees and loose branches in the trees. It appears that these have been planted but have never been maintained.

And what is that .. asking money for everything. You have plenty of campsites, parks that have beautiful playgrounds with an air bouncer. Here the children have to pay money to be able to jump, pay money for any activity. Jeep safari, super fun but 13.50 for half an hour? electric cars 2.00 per ride, trampoline outside 1 and even more expensive inside. Then the kids club (craft projects), do you have to at least 5 per child per craft work? Just bizarre.

I sincerely think this concept of how you are now doing this is very outdated. Centerparcs, create a really good large playground with a terrace where the parents can sit. I am not talking about a playground with 1 swing and 1 climbing frame, but a real outdoor playground.

The pool and Jungle dome are nice and fine, but it is no longer the glory of a luxury holiday park.

Unfortunately.

Good beds good service only the wifi is not good more staff in the hospitality industry an extra bar in the Aqua mundo and the menu card update for the rest everything is good

Had a nice time alone, the cottages are dated and the cleaning is also not for you and for that money pity CenterParcs could be better

Nice swimming pool (especially for children). The houses have come a bit in the years ...

Lovely and peaceful. Plenty of activities for all ages. No worries they do speak English! Less price to pay than in the UK.
