Well, the pool, playground, and other services are good 4 stars. the bed is really Comfortable. About the room quality and cleaning, between 0 and 1 star. Once arrived, the apartment stinks, we bought all necessary, 50 euro of products , and the first day we just clean all the rooms, floor and bathroom shower, kitchen...(all the apartment), instead to be at beach or at pool (not a good start for my vacation). Once all cleaned the apartment (premium) was smelling as it should be and was nice and relaxing days.. Loose 50 euro for buying products and 1 day for cleaning... Not nice at all for a vacation...

Nice place near the sea, but we found the location and cottages to be a bit outdated. Yes, the are clean and some modernised, but they remain quite small and have only limited closet space. Parc itself is OK but don't expect anything chic. It is a pity, the 'car free' policy is not respected by guests and policed by staff. Just typical the owners of big SUVs with German licences plates do not move their car to the parking lot 🙄. We stayed in 8-pers comfort cottage with 5 adults and 2 kids. We spent most of our time at the beach or outside, so this was OK.

I give it a star cause it’s not possible to give zero. This was the most horrendous experience. We got the “renovated” VIP cottage but the only new(ish) part was the bathroom. The house was old and “tired”, paint chipped everywhere, stained walls, the bed was under such a steep roof slope I cannot imagine how anyone can even crawl under there. The smell in the house was awful and everything was totally disgusting. Crumbs on the floor from what the previous guests had eaten, the floors were black with dirt, the carpets, cushions and curtains all hadn’t been cleaned in ages (if ever), the couch had clipped nails on it and was so stained with I don’t want to know what that we didn’t dare to sit or touch it. The couch was also so very old and ran down, even if it was cleaned it would have still been unacceptable to find something like this in any sort of accommodation. When we arrived we were so shocked by all this that we froze and didn’t think to go back to reception and ask to change houses but we did want to give it a shot so we spent two hours on hands and knees trying to sanitize everything. However every time we walked in the house the smell hit us again and as we discovered more and more such things we became so stressed and deeply sad at the thought of spending our holiday there. So after one night of uncomfortable sleep we decided we would relocate and booked another place. We told the staff what the problems were but they couldn’t really be bothered - they just got stuck on the fact that we should have asked to change houses when we arrived (change to what? This was a “renovated VIP cottage”!!!) and they decided we will not be reimbursed even for the nights that we did not stay anymore. This was the most disgusting accommodation experience ever and totally unacceptable how the staff decided to handle it. For the prices they charge for this dump you can stay in really nice places, even 5 star hotels. Never again!

Great holiday resort. Lots for kids to do, very close to the beach and and the town centre. Bus and train routes nearby allows for easy access to other towns cities. Accommodation is very clean and felt like a home from home. Highly recommend this centre parcs.

Location is very good, overall area is nice and clean. however the property is worn out, VIP package that we have bought was not executed in full (e.g. there was no bread delivery as was promised in the package), staff at the reception was not friendly or helpful. We also booked breakfast and had to wait in line every morning 20-40 mins depending on the day, there was a separate line for everything, we also had to fight to get an empty glass or empty cup for coffee.

Not very clear that we had 3 activity tokens to use after we checked-in. Didn’t get to use them at all until it was too late. All the bikes were gone… The VIP cottage we rented also lacked air-conditioning; it was very hot during the night and day. The location was good, however, since it was close to the beach! We really enjoyed the Aqua Mondo swimming park too.

We spent four days at Center Parcs Zandvoort over the mid term break (end of February), and really enjoyed it, as a family of four (two boys aged 6 and 8). The swimming pool complex was great fun, as was the bowling and the indoor play complex. We also played mini golf, took one of the small electric cars for a ride, and went for a few walks. The cottage was very clean and tidy, warm (in the middle of winter), and we also had the fire going. The cottage has everything you need, e.g. a fully equiped kitchen, etc. It felt really comfortable. The food at the cafes was reasonable, a little on the expensive side, as is the on-site supermarket. But that's how it goes at holiday parks. We had most dinners at restaurants in the Zandfoort township, if that wasn't an option, I'd possibly consider cooking dinner each night myself, which a lot of families did. There is sometimes noise during the day if there is racing on the Zandfoort circuit next door, but you can't hear it from inside, and that stops in the late afternoon anyway. We found the service perfectly fine, friendly staff, always happy to help (at least relative to Dutch standards). For a short break, particularly to get away from a larger city, it's a great place to stay. We will be back!

This Sunday sauna didn’t work at all and waiters at the bar didn’t even bother to clean the tables after guests. Friend of mine asked for the table to be cleaned and they gave him a piece of paper to clean it by himself…there were 4 of them behind the bar- gossiping and not doing anything. Service needs to improve drastically!

Originally planned this vacation last year but due to Omicron it was postponed. They let us know that our premium house would not be honored and gave us a regular house instead. The house had good bedrooms/mattresses, the smallest kitchen I've ever seen and only one, extremely small bathroom (smaller than my shoe closet at home) with no fan, for 5 people- this isn't acceptable for the price. Our house was also very far away from the beach unfortunately. Very nice buffet restaurant, but got denied entry into the grill restaurant because they only had one staff working the entire front, other restaurant was good too. They have everything you need for a vacation by the beach including some stores and a small "aqua mundo" for the kids. Would come back, hopefully they have more staff at the restaurants and the house we originally booked available by then.

Nice site right by the sea. The accommodation is good and the prices on site are really reasonable. Beware that things like the bike hire shut over lunch and the pool only opens until 6pm. The pool is nice but small compared to some Center Parcs.

Great location, very close to good beaches, well supported by over 20 bars, varying in character. The site itself is clean, pool is small, not the best CP pool I have ever been in and the facilities are a bit dated. Shop does excellent bread in the morning and is reasonably stocked. Houses vary, the basic ones are very basic, we enjoyed our time there but it was made by the weather and location.

Our cottage was in a nice lakeside location on the site, located conveniently for the main facilities and pools. The accommodation was fairly basic but well equipped for our stay. Good access to the town of Zandvoort and close to the rail links for wider travel. Ideal for a stay with young children. Would definitely visit again.

Stayed in the VIP cottages, definitely recommend these over the standard rooms, the space is perfect for 4 and beats the usual hotel climbing over each other… the bathroom is fantastic!! Cleanliness wasn’t great as a lot of pet hair in the sofa and rug but to be honest you just get on with it… I mean I’m ex forces so been in some seriously worse conditions. The cottage itself is fully equipped!! The pool is great! On site shop is brilliant as well. The restaurants we didn’t eat in as travelled 1hr into the city daily. If you’re going into Amsterdam then you must go to cafe de klos! The best ribs you ever endeavour!

We had a great experience in Center Parks Zandvoort. Despite the (really!) bad weather we still had an amazing time: the spacious bungalows were great for a large extended family vacation, the kids activities were fun, the pool was warm and not crowded and the staff was friendly and helpful. They can improve their vegan options and can offer more help with the luggage. Otherwise it was pretty perfect.

Spotless chalet, high quality finishes. Amazing beach 10 minutes walk away. Good transport links.

Location was great, two mins aware from Zandvort race track, five mins from the beach. Comfortable apartments, only complaint I would have is that they need to try and do something about ants getting into the apartment

The cabin was very close to the car race track. The sound woke us up very early, every day without stopping. Everything else in the cabin is perfect.

We stayed there for the weekend of Luminosity. In general, it was decent value for money and most things were fine. My only complaint is the attitude and service (or lack of it) in the restaurant/bar. We first sat in the restaurant side, unaware that this area didn't open till later in the day. A girl asked us to move to the bar side. We did and sat and waited to be served for a good 15 mins, we also attempted to go to the bar to order, only to be told to sit and we'll be served? Sit? We're not dogs! Anyway, we continued to wait another 10 mins and still no service. We approached a young man to ask again to be served. He then approached a lady (Co worker) who was clearly not meant to be in a customer facing job, if our table could be served. He was clearly afraid of approaching this other member of staff, and it was clear why in how she replied to him, poor lad. Apologies, I didn't get any names, but the young lady was possibly indian/Asian back round and had serious attitude problems. She shouted at the young lad, that she was busy doing this, and busy doing that and that it was very busy at the time. For the record there was us and another table of 6 that had already been served and eating, plus 3 people at the bar getting served by said lady. In the almost 30 minds we were there, our table was not cleared away, nor were many other tables. We also didn't get served and ending up walking away. We went to beach cafe and pier 21 is something and they happily took our 400 euro plus bill as we were a large group! Shame

Great day at Aqua Mundo! The staff were super friendly, and it's located very close to the train station and the beach. It definitely looked a little dated inside, but it was clean and in good repair. Note there's only a co-gender locker room but individual changing rooms, in case that's a surprise for anyone. Food there was okay, but there's a little grocery store in the park where you can buy snacks too.

Stayed for the Luminosity festival and we had a great experience of center parcs Zandvoort. Accommodation and amenities was great everything you needed was on site with Zandvoort Town only a short walk away. Will definitely be back 👌🏻

We stayed in a VIP cottage for 4 nights which was very comfortable. The bathroom is enormous and you can chill out in the jacuzzi bath while watching TV, including BBC1. The kitchen is well equipped and very clean. The Aqua Mundo isn't as big as other centre parc pools but the 3 slides (one is the outside rapids) it does have are really good. The pool is "retro" but in very good condition and is clean. The onsite restaurant is similar to a wetherspoons in terms of food standard and there are lots of options in Zandvoort only a few minutes walk which were nice so I'd recommend doing that. A couple of great coffee shops too with nice brunch! Train station is 10 minutes walk away and gets you to Amsterdam Central in 30 minutes, every 30 minutes so is really easy and convenient. Beach is 10 minutes walk too. Overall, it's a good centre parcs, the pool and other facilities are more than enough to keep you entertained for a few days and Zandvoort itself is well worth a visit. I'd happily come again.

I had an enjoyable stay at centre parks. Rooms are good if a little hot 🔥. There is no aircon and in the sun the room thermostat reached 28! Its smaller than a UK one but that's a good thing. Didn't spend much time in the swimming pools but they seemed OK. I just wish they included things like washing up liquid, more towels in the package etc. Normally this doesn't bother me as in the UK I drive there but this occasion I caught the train so didn't have any of it. Location is great to get about and hiring bikes is well worth it.

The cottages are nice and come with a well equipped kitchen. Rooms are available in different price category (eg. premium rooms come with Dolce gusto coffee machine, and an extra shower and tv). Baby safe rooms are also available. The indoor playground is huge and included in the price. Indoor pool is smaller than at some other Center Parcs locations, it has 3 slides, and a baby paddling pool. Swim vests (zwempak) for children are available free of charge. There is a petting zoo (Speelboerderij) with goat, sheep, piglets, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Some activities are available for extra charge: mini golf, jumping area, bowling, etc. What I mostly miss, is a big outdoor play area (possiblly with a bar next to it ;) ). There are some smaller around with a single climbing rack, but none of them is big enough to occupy the kids for more than half an hour.

Was here for a mid week, but it's not as expected. Pool is closed very very early and parts of the pool are closed permanently because of staff shortages. The pool is cold (feels like 19 degrees). The holiday came to an early ending because I was smashed into the wall on the wild wather. My knee and foot were injured and my too nail was gone very painful. The house was very dusty (kids have allergies and had to take medicine). The food is way to expensive for what you get.

The ALL-EXCLUSIVE experience. Center-parcs is always presented as a lovely experience, but actually the "experience" is where everything comes falling apart. The basic cottages don't even include bedsheets, so after upgrading to the "premium cottage" it turns out that if you book for a 4 day stay with a family of 4, you get: - 1 roll of toilet paper - 1 dishwasher tab - zero coffeepads for your dolce gusto machine - no regular tea or instant coffee - no salt/pepper - no sugar - no oil or butter for cooking - no shower gel - no shampoo - no cleaning service or new towels during your stay So after traveling 1200km from abroad to enjoy my stay, i first have to go shopping for products that i will end up throwing away after 4 days of stay. Products that are included in even the cheapest, most terrible hotels or resorts. A complete waste of time, frustration, and all so that center parcs could save 3 euro's wholesale. Good job center parcs, you won't see me again. PS. 3 stars are because of the great location and the nice pool. Without those it would have been 1 star.

Love the pool and the trampoline park. The slides are great but done of the staff at the pool weren't very kind. Our room was great and overall it is a really nice place.

In the middle of zandvoort. Great ambiance in the dome center. Nice warmed Pool en soms slides. A short walk to the beach and a 45 min ride to Amsterdam. Some of the rooms are a little outdated. Had a great time

Nice accomodation, recently refurbished. I give only 2 stars because of the noise. The parc is next to a Formula 1 circuit which makes horribly noisy no matter where you are in the park. It feels like you are in the middle of the highway. Center Parcs us supposed to be cosy & a place to relax

We had a great time, the house was nice and clean (not super clean but good), very well equipped for 10 people (plenty of dishes,etc.). The kids enjoyed the pool. And all of us enjoyed the proximity to the beach. We did however not use the gastronomy around the Parc, so I cannot comment on that. The playground and the small zoo with goats and sheep was nice for kids.

The sea beach is very close by. There is enough play area for the kids. Nice panoramic view from all the corners.

Very good but different to other larger Center Parcs which could disappoint some. Everything is smaller in scale and whilst the pool area is lovely, it lacks the big flume rides and lazy river, gym etc we are more used to elsewhere. However, it is near the massive sandy beach and therefore offers something a bit different to other CPs and is a great place for a mixed holiday indoor/beach holiday. The bikes on hire are all pretty rusty from the sea air but function OK. Our VIP house wasn't worth paying a premium for. We found the main restaurant a bit expensive umless you have a greedy, all-you-can-eat hunger.

TLDR: mediocre, bad value for money. I wanted to (re-)discover Dutch Centre Parcs with my children, hoping to rekindle fond memories of childhood visits to Port Zeeland and UK Centre Parcs. Maybe it was just the grinding experience of parenting in a heatwave, but it didn't live up to expectations. The Aqua Mundo (swimming pool and flumes) is just as good as I remember it. We spent many happy hours in this pool, riding the rapids, surfing the waves and chuting down the flumes. The Baluba indoor play area and Jump Town trampoline park were pretty decent. We had a very happy day at the beach which was an easy walk off the park. Most of the cafes/restaurants were in the tropically hot and humid Market Dome. The restaurants were fine, though as my children were hot and grumpy, I felt like service could have been quicker (quite possibly my perception, rather than measurably slow service). It wasn't obvious that anywhere was open for breakfast - I think you had to visit the beach hotel if you wanted to have breakfast out before 11.30am. One of my favorite features at the UK Centre Parcs I visited as a child were the Dutch style pancake houses so, I was a bit disappointed at the lack of pancake house in Zandvoort. Our "renovated comfort cottage" was spotlessly clean and well equipped, but it had a distinct youth hostel vibe, having to make our own beds, and the pillows squashed down to nothing. There was no hand soap in the toilet, not even a complimentary bar of soap, which felt super stingy after washing ourbhands frantically since March 2020. Having come straight from a business trip in a comfy air conditioned hotel, it made this Centre Parcs in this tourist season feel like pretty terrible value for money. When I was young, my parents always loaded the car with groceries before we went, saying that the on-site supermarket was over priced. It still seems that way, but we had no car to fill with groceries! We wanted self catering accommodation so that we could have some easier family mealtimes in private. We also had a birthday to celebrate, so we're hoping to be able to cook some nice food. Again, perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough, but there didn't seem to be any really appealing fresh food in the on-site supermarket. I suppose I was hoping for something like Waitrose or Mark's and Spencer. One night we ended up getting takeaway pizza. The toppings were amazing, but the base was weird and biscuity, which wasn't entirely pleasant. The terrain of the park itself is quite compact, sandwiched between a decent beach to the west, Zandvoort Circuit to the north, the town and the dunes on other sides. There were some nice little playgrounds, but not enough to keep the kids busy for long. It felt like there wasn't much to explore on site. The lake is pretty small and not terribly alluring for water sports. There is a petting farm and we saw free range deer right amongst the accommodation, but it didn't feel as natural as the forest-based UK Centre Parcs. We were woken up by the flights taking off from nearby Schiphol Airport and the sounds of laps being driven round the motor circuit next door kept going all day. We picked Zandvoort Centre Parcs because it was minutes walk from the nearest train station and we were in the Netherlands without our own transport. I think CP marketing have missed a trick here, they could be capitalizing on this feature (not that they have to). It was easy to find from the train station, but it would have been excellent if there were trolleys or carts available on the park (or even from the station) to ferry our luggage to the cottage, or the offer of a shuttle pick up. It was literally a few minutes walk, just felt a long way with suitcases and children (1 and 5) dragging their feet. We had a lovely time despite my disappointments, but I think Centre Parcs needs to buck its ideas up.

It’s a beautiful park and very very kid friendly! Both our 3 year old daughter and us are having a great time here and it will be a shame to go back home soon! There is just so much to do and enjoy here!

Good park, everything was clean and there are great activities. 5/5 stars.

It's okay. Service ranges from mediocre to good, depending on whom from what company you encounter (I learned there are different companies running the various bars and restaurants versus the personnel of the reception for instance). Rooms are okay. Hotel looks a bit outdated. Way to expensive. The swimming area, the kids playing areas are quite okay though.

Nice place for a day outing. Loved aqua mundo. Not as big as other center parcs but decent enough for a day. Kids love it. Good places to eat. Fun!!!!

Zandvoort is a beautiful city on the coast. The location is almost perfect, the way to the beach - depending on the location of the apartment - can be reached in 5 to 15 minutes on foot. In Zandvoort itself, on the promenade and on the beach, you mainly meet young people and families. The atmosphere is very relaxed and easy going, which we enjoyed very much as a family with three smaller children (4-10 years). The furnishings in the renovated holiday apartments are adequate and clean. The staff were always friendly and relaxed. The noise coming from the neighboring racetrack was at times deafening - especially when there were major races all day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the first weekend. On the other days it wasn't that bad, because then only "training units" were handled. On the other hand, we were aware of the problem and could adapt to it. The park is definitely not recommended for people who are very sensitive to noise. The service and performance under Corona conditions were satisfactory. In this respect I would have liked to give 4 stars. However, there was one point that really disappointed us: The "Aqua Romana" (with a 25m swimming lane and water cinema) was closed for at least 3 days at a time. There was no official explanation for it. When asked, I was informed that there were too few supervisory staff on the days in question - and that this area of ​​the indoor pool had to remain closed. We found that very annoying. Unfortunately, nothing came of my plan - to swim 1000 m every day. If you pay just under 300 euros a day, you just wish that the services that you might have been looking forward to the most are available to you.

A nice experience with the kids ...great for the winter weather
