Center Parcs Vossemeren

We had a lovely time at De Vossemeren on our second visit there. The accommodation was clean and spacious with very comfortable beds. We mostly ate in the cabin but we enjoyed visiting the Grand Cafe and Frites Affaire. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and were able to speak to us in English as well as letting us practise speaking Dutch. We can't wait to visit again.

Very good stay! Friendly staff and everything is available in the park itself. Only downside: everything is very child-oriented. It was a couples vacation for us and we noticed that almost every activity that is organized is catered towards children.

We stayed here for 10 nights in August, and I can honestly say, the entire family loved it. I am struggling to understand the negative reviews. There is lots to do here, our kids were never bored that's for sure. There are quite a few activities that you pay extra for, however we allowed for this in our budget. Having said that there are things like discovery bay, which was so much fun for the kids, and free - top tip put the kids in swimwear for visiting this! The pool is great fun we spent a lot of time here! My husband and 2 of the kids did the aqua Park course which was 15 euros per person, but they were on there for an hour so this was really good value and they said it was brilliant. Everything is easily bookable online, including restaurant reservations. Every staff member we interacted with was helpful, and 90% of them spoke excellent English. I would recommend evergreenz the buffet restaurant, especially if you have fussy eaters as there really is something for everyone. We were so busy while here we actually only spent 1 day off-site, and that was to visit efteling theme park in the Netherlands (well worth a visit) Our accomodation was clean and comfy, and we were able to walk to the center of everything pretty easily, but you can rent bikes or golf carts if you don't fancy the walk - although the golf carts are not cheap. We had an excellent experience and our kids have already asked when can we go back! Which says it all really.

At the end of July, we stayed in a newly refurbished premium lodge for 6 on the main lake by the bridge, this was great as was a 5/10 min walk from the main centre to the lodge with a beautiful view and close to the beach on the edge of the lake The lodge was well equipped, with bed linen, a good kitchen, clothes airer and a broom to sweep up during your stay. Outside we had a large table with chairs , parasol, and 2 sun loungers. (There is no air-conditioning, so bring a fan with you as the lodge did get quite warm) This was our first trip to Centre Parcs outside of the UK and it didn't disappoint. It's set out very much like Elveden Forest. The swimming pool has the normal rapids, a few slides, waves, lazy river, and baby/toddler area. We had pre booked some activities before we arrived. The laser battle inside Discovery Bay was so much fun, the teenagers and adults in our group loved it! We also enjoyed the escape room (pricey, but so are the ones in the UK) The AquaPark, Archery, Farm, and Paddleboarding were also good. The only activity we did, that disappointed us was the Wild Water Rapids (for children up to 16yrs) we thought this suited younger children no older than 11 or 12yrs. Our 13 and 16 year olds found it slow and boring. The Alpca walk was cancelled due to thunderstorms but we had a refund onto the wristbands to spend during our stay. All other activities went ahead even in the rain which was good as I had read mixed reviews on this. If you have allergies or food intolerances make sure you pack plenty of food as the restaurants don't cater well for this. The shop onsite does sell a small range of Gluten Free staples. It was easy enough to drive on and off site to nip out to local supermarket or to do a day trip into Holland or Belgium. I would definitely return to De Vossemeren.
