Summary created out of 287 reviews
EuroParcs Zuiderzee boasts a beautiful location directly on the Veluwemeer, with convenient access to Elburg, Harderwijk and attractions like Walibi. The park offers spacious playgrounds, a large indoor play area and animation programmes that keep families with children entertained. However, the park faces significant challenges: the swimming pool is frequently described as ice-cold, dirty and outdated, cleaning of accommodations often falls short with dust, stains and mould, and there is considerable maintenance backlog affecting furniture, doors and technical installations. Staff reviews are mixed – some are friendly and helpful, others unfriendly or overwhelmed – and communication and customer service frequently disappoint, with guests being passed from pillar to post.

We’d already been to another park in this area last year. So we were actually really excited about this park. Unfortunately, our anticipation was dampened as soon as we arrived.
Before we arrived, the link with the access information didn’t work at all, but we figured we could sort it out at check-in. We were wrong… Check-in starts at 4 p.m., but the front desk isn’t staffed after 5 p.m. It’s ridiculous how long it takes to reach someone…
Getting to the vacation home was, let’s just say, a sweaty affair… The house was sweltering, but they hadn’t blocked out the sun on those hot days. The worst part about the house, though, was the missing door handle on the patio door—it was simply held shut with a wooden slat. When we complained about it, they just said it couldn’t be fixed on the spot. We couldn’t switch to another house because everything was booked up...
Aside from that, the house just wasn’t properly clean. We didn’t even want to touch the roller shade in the kitchen. Worn-out and neglected... The owners really should take better care of their vacation home sometimes. Silicone caulking, etc.
There’s not much going on in the park itself; it all looks very haphazard. Some parts are in desperate need of renovation. The on-site supermarket feels like a trip back in time to a classic corner store.
The absolute worst part, however, was the swimming pool. The entrance was a total mess—dirty, it stank, and the lockers… well… the water was just lukewarm. The showers only had very hot water, and somehow we already wanted to leave as soon as we walked in… we only lasted an hour at most.
All in all, not worth the money.
We’ll never book this kind of park again.this is a translation, click here for the original
Wir waren im vergangenen Jahr schonmal hier in der Gegend in einem anderen Park. Und hatten daher eigtl. große Euphorie für diesen Park. Leider wurde unsere Vorfreude schon beim ankommen gedämpft.
Im Vorfeld, hat der Link mit den Zugangsdaten überhaupt nicht funktioniert, dachten uns aber, kann man beim Check In regeln. Falsch gedacht... Check in ab 16 Uhr, aber ab 17 Uhr Rezeption nicht mehr besetzt. Bis man jemand erreicht ein Unding....
Ankunft am Ferienhaus, war sagen wir mal schweißtreibend... Das Haus Schweine warm, jedoch hat man an diesen heißen Tagen die Sonne nicht ausgesperrt. Das geilste an dem Haus war aber der fehlende Türgriff an der Terrassentür, diese wurde einfach mit einer Holzlatte zugehalten. Also wir das bemängelten, hieß es nur kann man nicht reparieren auf die schnelle. Ein anderes Haus ist nicht möglich weil ausgebucht...
Mal abgesehen davon war das Haus, einfach nicht ordentlich sauber. Das Rollo in der Küche wollte man garnicht anfassen. Abgewohnt und ungepflegt... Die Vermieter sollten sich manchmal einfach auch um ihr Ferienhaus kümmern. Silikonfugen etc.
Im Park selbst gibt es wenig Aktion, es sieht alles sehr zusammen gewürfelt aus. Teilweise dringend Sanierungsbedürftig. Der eigene Supermarkt wirkt wie ein Weg in die Vergangenheit zu einem klassischen Tante Emmaladen.
Das absolut furchtbarste war jedoch das Schwimmbad. Der Eingang unter aller Sau, dreckig, es stank und die Schließfächer naja.. das Wasser einfach nur seich warm. Die duschen nur mit sehr heißem Wasser und irgendwie wollte man schon am Eingang wieder hinaus..max mal eine Std haben wir es ausgehalten.
Alles in allem sein Geld nicht Wert.
Wir werden diese Art Park so nie wieder buchen. -

Here’s a somewhat longer message—sorry about that.
We spent our multigenerational family vacation with you for a week during summer break (North Rhine-Westphalia/Netherlands).
Upon arrival, it would have been helpful to be informed in advance that we weren’t supposed to check in at the front desk, but instead had to get in line with the long line of cars.
When we arrived at our house, the property made a very good first impression. The well-maintained landscaping, the beautiful paths, and the attractive houses made for a positive first impression.
Inside the house, however, our enthusiasm quickly turned to disappointment. There were cobwebs everywhere, the stairs were dusty, and the laminate floors were partially damaged. This impression carried through the entire house. I understand that windows aren’t always perfectly clean. However, I expect the cleaning service to thoroughly vacuum the corners as well. Dead flies in the corners of the windows or cobwebs can be removed in just a few minutes. Much more emphasis should be placed on cleanliness here.
We also had to wash all the dishes in the kitchen ourselves at first. In addition, all the shelves in the base cabinets were missing. We don’t know whether they were damaged or stolen. As a result, we ultimately had to store our food in a closet in the bedroom area.
We stayed in Eco Villa No. 120. Surprisingly, hardly any of the windows there could be opened. On the upper floor, only the bathroom and one of the four bedrooms could be ventilated. In the interior bedroom on the ground floor, not a single window could be opened. Ventilation was practically only possible through the front door and the patio door. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t too hot during our stay. Nevertheless, we sometimes had to sleep with the doors open, which of course severely limited our privacy. The fans and heating and air conditioning units provided little relief from the heat; one of them was also defective and couldn’t be repaired during our stay.
I would like to highlight, however, that our complaints regarding the clogged drain on the upper floor and a damaged pan were resolved very quickly.
Based on our first impression of its cleanliness, we decided not to use the Jura fully automatic coffee machine.
Despite all the shortcomings, we wanted to make the best of our vacation. Unfortunately, however, the negative impression continued. The supermarket closes as early as 6 p.m. The restaurant by the playground was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. During the entertainment program, there was no way to buy drinks or ice cream. This was especially disappointing for the kids. As a result, we often had to go back to the house to get our own snacks. The beach bar is nice, but it’s significantly farther away from the playground.
As other guests have already mentioned, the swimming pool was closed. After we complained about this, we at least received a refund or a partial reimbursement, which allowed us to visit a nearby swimming pool once. Still, it’s very disappointing that the pool was closed during the summer vacation in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands of all times. We would have loved to have stopped by for just a couple of hours.
The indoor play area is generally nicely designed. However, there was no place to buy drinks there either. Also, it’s better to use the restrooms in your own cabin (see photo of the restroom in the indoor area).
During our stay, there was very little going on in the park overall, and the dining options were also rather limited.
All in all, we regret a little that we didn’t spend a bit more money on a stay at Center Parcs. Unfortunately, our stay at EuroParcs was a disappointment overall. The beautiful grounds unfortunately couldn’t make up for the numerous shortcomings in cleanliness, amenities, and service.this is a translation, click here for the original
Jetzt kommt ein etwas längere Text, sorry dafür.
Wir haben unseren Mehrgenerationen-Familienurlaub für eine Woche in den Sommerferien (NRW/Niederlande) bei euch verbracht.
Bereits bei der Ankunft wäre es hilfreich gewesen, vorab darüber informiert zu werden, dass man sich nicht an der Rezeption anmeldet, sondern sich direkt in die lange Autoschlange einreihen muss.
Als wir an unserem Haus ankamen, machte die Anlage zunächst einen sehr guten Eindruck. Die gepflegte Bepflanzung, die schönen Wege und die ansprechenden Häuser sorgten für einen positiven ersten Eindruck.
Im Inneren des Hauses folgte jedoch schnell die Ernüchterung. Überall hingen Spinnweben, die Treppe war staubig und die Laminatböden waren teilweise beschädigt. Dieser Eindruck zog sich durch das gesamte Haus. Ich habe Verständnis dafür, wenn Fenster nicht perfekt geputzt sind. Von der Reinigung erwarte ich jedoch, dass auch Ecken gründlich gesaugt werden. Tote Fliegen in den Fensterecken oder Spinnweben sind innerhalb weniger Minuten zu entfernen. Hier sollte deutlich mehr Wert auf Sauberkeit gelegt werden.
Auch das Geschirr in der Küche mussten wir zunächst komplett selbst reinigen. Zudem fehlten in den Unterschränken sämtliche Einlegeböden. Ob diese beschädigt oder entwendet wurden, wissen wir nicht. Dadurch mussten wir unsere Lebensmittel letztendlich in einem Kleiderschrank im Schlafbereich lagern.
Wir wohnten in der Eco Villa Nr. 120. Erstaunlicherweise ließen sich dort kaum Fenster öffnen. Im Obergeschoss konnte lediglich das Badezimmer sowie eines der vier Schlafzimmer gelüftet werden. Im innenliegenden Schlafzimmer im Erdgeschoss ließ sich gar kein Fenster öffnen. Lüften war praktisch nur über die Haus- und Terrassentür möglich. Zum Glück war das Wetter während unseres Aufenthalts nicht allzu heiß. Trotzdem mussten wir teilweise mit offenen Türen schlafen, wodurch die Privatsphäre natürlich stark eingeschränkt war. Die vorhandenen Ventilatoren bzw. Heiz- und Klimageräte sorgten kaum für Abkühlung, eines davon war zudem defekt und konnte während unseres Aufenthalts nicht repariert werden.
Positiv hervorheben möchte ich allerdings, dass unsere Reklamationen bezüglich des verstopften Abflusses im Obergeschoss sowie einer beschädigten Pfanne sehr schnell behoben wurden.
Den Jura-Kaffeevollautomaten haben wir nach dem ersten Eindruck der Sauberkeit lieber nicht benutzt.
Trotz aller Mängel wollten wir das Beste aus unserem Urlaub machen. Leider setzte sich der negative Eindruck jedoch fort. Der Supermarkt schließt bereits gegen 18 Uhr. Das Restaurant am Spielplatz war dienstags und mittwochs geschlossen. Während des Animationsprogramms gab es keine Möglichkeit, Getränke oder ein Eis zu kaufen. Gerade für Kinder war das sehr enttäuschend. Deshalb mussten wir häufig zurück zum Haus gehen, um uns selbst zu versorgen. Die Strandbar ist zwar schön, liegt jedoch deutlich weiter vom Spielplatz entfernt.
Wie bereits von anderen Gästen erwähnt, war das Schwimmbad geschlossen. Nachdem wir dies reklamiert hatten, erhielten wir immerhin eine Erstattung bzw. einen Zuschuss, sodass wir einmal ein nahegelegenes Schwimmbad besuchen konnten. Trotzdem ist es sehr enttäuschend, dass das Schwimmbad ausgerechnet während der Sommerferien in Nordrhein-Westfalen und den Niederlanden geschlossen war. Hätten dies gerne mal für zwei Stündchen mal kurz besucht.
Der Indoor-Spielbereich ist grundsätzlich schön gestaltet. Allerdings gab es auch dort keine Möglichkeit, Getränke zu kaufen. Zudem sollte man die Toiletten besser im eigenen Haus nutzen (siehe Foto des WC am Indoorbereich).
Während unseres Aufenthalts war insgesamt nur sehr wenig im Park los, und auch gastronomisch war das Angebot eher eingeschränkt.
Alles in allem bereuen wir es ein wenig, nicht doch etwas mehr Geld für einen Aufenthalt bei Center Parcs ausgegeben zu haben. Unser Aufenthalt bei EuroParcs hat uns leider insgesamt enttäuscht. Die schöne Anlage konnte die zahlreichen Mängel bei Sauberkeit, Ausstattung und Service leider nicht ausgleichen. -
