Center Parcs ‘Park De Haan’ ****

Leuk weekendje weg, mooi huisje buiten een paar barsten in de muur en een deuk in de deur enzo. Een stopcontact dat volledig los zat. Mooie badkamer met inloopdouche die van de badkamer een zwembad maakt, zelfde + verstopte waskbak boven. Voor de kleinste kinderbedje en kramikkelig poortje om voor de trap te zetten, that's it. In het centrum alles self-service,lang wachten Lasagne en soep koud, spaghetti bijna al-dente en lekkere pizza. €17,50 voor een uur bowlen (enkel via trap). 2 a 3 bowlingballen per 2 banen, ballen vliegen tegen 80km/u uit da ding. Bar sluit 3u voor de bowling sluit. Zwembad riekt naar ontstopper, enkel loeiheet water in de verversruimte, plafond op instorten ook daar. Beide deuren van ons kleedhokje konden niet op slot. Alles verouderd of stuk. 2/10 omdat het personeel vriendelijk was en de kinderen het leuk vonden.

Park ligt dichtbij Brugge en Oostende voor een uitstapje. We hadden een standaard bungalow. Op zich is er niets mis mee maar klein achterstallig onderhoud was zichtbaar. Afstandsbediening deed het niet, kleine lekkage onder keukenblok en in de badkamer heeft de klusjesman wel een uurtje werk.

Having read some of the other reviews we were a little dubious of what we would get, having been to the UK resorts, however pleasantly surprised. OK so it is only classed as a three star, and there are nowhere near as many activities as 5 star parks, but then again it was over £500 cheaper than the same 4 days at any of the UK parks. Center Parcs influence is starting to show we were in a VIP villa that had obviously been refurbished as most things seemed to be fairly new. Very clean our own sauna and fresh bread rolls every morning certainly worth paying that little extra for. All the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful we made good use of our free toppings (activities) and the rate for extra activities seemed very reasonable so we made good use of them. The on site Supermarket seemed to have a good variety of produce, avoid big brands as they are very expensive, and go for the loacl stuff which seemed very reasonable. As we went in February some things were not available., but again probably reflected in the price. The Aqua Mundo was ok, children loved the slides, seems to be undergoing ongoing decorating, and some of the pointing on the crazy paved areas needs sorting. but clean and never too busy

There is just nothing good to say about this place. Terrible accommodation, dirty with mold growing on bedroom wall and smelly dank toilets and bathrooms. Kitchen ill-equipped, nasty beds, broken furniture, dangerous fire place. No keys on toilet doors, smoke alarms not working, no fire extinguishers. Dirty garden full of cigarette ends and dog poo. No wifi in accommodation. Sockets and lights hanging off the walls. Accommodation in state of disrepair, filth and bad smell. Belated attempts by staff to fix things during our stay. Why not have fixed basics before letting the hole to us? Went home early because we couldn't stand the place. Holiday ruined, had to take time to get over it. A dump. DEFINITELY NOT A CENTERPARC!!!!

Been to Centre Parcs before and i know you get what you pay for BUT this was not good. I think the customer service is non existent! There were over 30 people going and many booked fri to fri booking which was ok but none of the villas were close together. Also my brother was due to arrive on the Monday, had a phone call from centre parcs Sat night to inform him that there was a problem with his accommodation and could only offer something is France. After pleading with the staff and having to speak to reservations directly they managed to get him an upgrade as 1 became available after a clerical error has reserved two villas for one person! We were in a comfort villa and the only positive was the space. It was dirty, beds not made (which we paid extra for) bathrooms stunk, no upstairs bathroom, (all bedrooms where upstairs) TV channels varied from villa to villa, hot water problems and all in all not very pleasant. Overall Pool area ok (nothing compared to your other parks) Hired bikes which were reasonably priced but on second someone took daughters bike from the Dome, went to report it and was told that if it didn't turn up i would be charged 250 euros! Luckily after searching the park, she manage to locate it (someone took it by mistake as they all look the same! Also on the day we left, the hire shop didn't open until 9am which if you are catching an early ferry, you have to take the risk on leaving it. won't go again!
