Center Parcs Vossemeren

As a group of two couples and a three years old child we stayed at Center Parks de Vossemeren for four nights during April 2024. We had a VIP room which was clean and very nicely decorated. It had two bedrooms, a big bath containing a bathtub and sauna, a furnished kitchen and on top of all, a wonderfull view of a big lake. The view was awesome. Couldnt get any better. We also had a BBQ and some furniture outside. The only negative point about the room was its tiny toilet. There is enough space at least for two toilets but there is one small toilet with just cold water. The pools and aquapark were very nice. It was a great opportunity that we could use these amneties during our stay. There are two slides (one very big) in the pools that despite a long line, worth to try. The pool bar was expensive and low quality and the staff were not very friendly. Dont recomend. There are lots of other playgrounds and activity options in the resort. Specially for kids. We hired bikes for a day and that was fun. We could visit plenty of beautiful places in the park. So lovely. There are lots of restaurants in the property and a supermarket. They are OK but more expensive than outside. The service in the restaurants needs to get better. In conclusion we had a great time there and we will consider this resort for our next short time peeks.

We had a lovely stay here. We had a 2 bed premium cottage 469 which was nice and close to the Aqua Mundo and indoor discovery cove. It was easy to book the activities using our activity vouchers and we played both badminton and bowling using them. We also booked the indoor laser tag which was great as it took place in the discovery cove ‘after hours’ which my kids thought was great. The site itself is near to big supermarkets for self catering.

Although it is nice to have the park car free, i found it striking that the employee at the Park entry, either lacked empathy or doesnt understand that walking from the entry of the park to most of the cottages with two sleeping little children is really far. If customer friendliness is not a selection criteria for this job, why have a human there in the first place. It would be cheaper to have entrance to the park fully automated....other option is to add extra parkings at far end of the park, or give electric cars for free...

We had a very nice family holiday here between Christmas and New Year. We took a Premium 6-person chalet, which was spatious, clean, and modern. The setting around the lake was also very pleasant. In the park, the main activity we participated in was the pool. It was a little crowded, and there is not really provision for actual swimming, but the kids loved the several water slides. They also enjoyed the large ondoor playground. We joined a few of the free ranger activities (local tours, cooking in the wild, bushcraft). These were excellent with friendly, well-informed guides. On the downside, most of the other activities were for an additional fee and rather expensive. The restaurants were overpriced and mediocre quality, and the on-site shop was also rather pricy. There are several restaurants in the local town which were cheaper and better so I would suggest you try these instead. Overall I would recommend this place for a short stay.

We have just returned from a week at the parc. We have done uk CP before but never in Europe. We are total converts. We were lucky with very quiet parc as most schools not yet on holiday. The pool area has great rapids and four fun slides. Clean and plentiful showers and lockers. Only upgrade would be heated floors in changing rooms! We loved the free nature activities - cooking and bush skills. We did badminton, mini golf and climbing. The farm activities were great - our girls loved donkey care, meet the alpacas and the small creatures. Animals looked well cared for and lovely staff. It was very muddy though! So take wellies! It's not a big parc but in very wet weather we were grateful for having booked a golf cart for getting back quickly after evening swim. The free discovery cove was amazing - an incredible area for kids and free to use! We only ate out on the last night - frites affair. It was ok but pricey for essentially MacDonald's. We stayed in a VIP villa. The daily bread delivery was exciting and we took a slow cooker with us which we used for soup at lunchtime and meals on evening. We loved the sauna for drying swimming stuff! Shop on site well stocked but expensive. Go to PLUS supermarket just over the border in Netherlands. Well priced and great products. Their soup and meal kits were perfect!

You always expect the photos to look better than the actual end product when looking at a menu but boy did centre parcs knock this one out of the parc. Having used tinder before in the past I’ve had my fair share of photoshoped photos look at 10 but in reality being a 1 at a push. Both myself and my partner attended the grill restaurant. We were eventually seated at our table and ordered. We advised the waiter my girlfriend had a nut allergy. She ordered the burger while I ordered a steak. Food came around 45 minutes after we ordered and what was presented to my girlfriend in the form of a burger was horrifying. You can see from the photos at the bottom. The burger was €25 and was meant to come with chips and a salad along with BBQ sauce on the burger. The cheapest looking burger than a 3 year old blind child could have made better was dropped off, no chips but crisps, no side salad and no bbq sauce. We challenged these points at first and were told the chips may contain nuts but he would get us some bbq sauce. We obviously complained about the burger at the end of the meal, the manager told us that the bbq sauce contained nuts hence why it wasn’t on the burger, if it contained nuts then why did the guy serving us bring it over to the table. We’re told that we would have to pay the full price for the burger. Pay the full price and by the way we may just have killed your girlfriend. Would 100% avoid this place if you have allergies. My girlfriend had to inject herself with her epipen when she got back to the lodge.

Lovely flat site, perfect for cycling. It is very like most other centre parcs in lay out and cabins. We stayed in a dog friendly cabin but was pleased I had left my dog at home. He is a food orientated fiend and we would have struggled to store food out of his reach with the kitchen having very little places to store food out of his reach. As there was only shelves and no cupboards, as all plates etc were stored in cupboard. We had a golf buggy whilst there and it was great fun. Kids tried water skiing there and loved it. They enjoyed the water park as well as the pool. Excellent for active families. But it can be a bit pricy to do lots of activities. . The weather was around 20-23 degrees and not sticky. We had a little bit of rain (not lots) one bad lightening storm which knocked the WiFi out for a few hours. The location is excellent and venturing to nearby towns and restaurants we had some of the best meals we have had in a long time. Also went into Germany to see a football match as it was not far. The staff were friendly and helpful, nearly all of them speak English extremely well.

As always I’ll balance my reviews, but sorry to spoil the ending, this one ends with a bitter taste. For over 30 years, I’ve travelled with extended family and friends the various Center Parcs primarily through Europe. This was a bumper year and extended a week stay in Holland to enjoy an additional week in de Vossermerren, Belgium. The allure of Center Parcs in Europe has akways been the competitive costs, even when factoring in travel compared to UK Parcs, and even all these years later it’s still the same, but it has come at a cost. De Vossermerren isn’t a long trip from the Hook of Holland ferry, with easy roads and beautiful scenery. The staff at reception were welcoming, charismatic and charming. A friendly welcome to a tired traveller. Indeed, the park on the surface was in line with the brand I remember so dearly; cool forests, easy walks all Centered around a lake and the forever inviting dome and tropical pool complex known as aqua mundo. The pool complex, for those familiar, has just enough thrill to entertain the family with the standard wave pool, lazy river rides and kids areas. Most Parcs have a special pool show piece and this one has the Monkey slide - a rather tall tower leading to a flume ride that turns transparent as you cross high above the pool. This then ejects you to a bowl which after a few spins lands you in the outdoor pool. You then have a choice to take the rapids or stairs to safety. As far as pool complexes go, this was probably one of the better ones - not the most modern by far but all the thrills in all the right places. For UK visitors, you’ll become acutely aware that pool regulations here aren’t maybe quite so strict as back home; you certainly won’t notice the tuneful whistle of the British power hungry lifeguard. How can I say; risk is maybe more self managed. It’s a moderate sized park with 900+ cottages. If you pick a cottage far from the center you really need to think about how you get about. Walking might not be a viable option and it’s supposed to be a car free Park. That only really leaves two options, the first being to cycle. You can of course bring your own bikes to save the cash or you can hire bikes there for a reasonable price. The bicycles aren’t fancy and nor do they need to be with flat roads and cycle lanes should you wish to venture out. Option b is rather more modern - you can hire gold carts which have become very popular. If you enjoy the water and a beach it might be worth booking a cottage by the lake beach. It was very serene using the beach but I can imagine in peak times it might become congested. The other unusual aspect was there signs to say not to swim which is at odds with other parks. The irony was that the lake was shared with the water ski cable…. Where you must swim. Are you allowed to use your own kayak here? I don’t know, but I did without bother! A nice packable free activity if you have the kit. Also on the lake was an inflatable assault cou
