We just spent a weekend here, having spent many other stays here before (I think it was our 7th stay). This is as good as a 'classical' Center Parcs will ever get, although at some ends it starts showing its age. We stayed in a 'fully renovated' bungalow, which according to their own publicity got an extreme makeover.
In the words of the reception staff : new curtains, new flooring (parquet) and new kitchen utensils. Probably new furtniture as well.
I do not want to knwo how the non-refurbished bungalows look like. Probably old and dated. So go for one of the newer ones if you take an Original Bungalow. The Premium and VIPs have long been renovated as I recall from a previous stay.
The bungalows were functional as ever. No surprises there. Beautifully located by the lake and a solid 15 min walk to the Aqua Dome. Some bungalows are nearer, some a farer, that is the luck of the draw in Center Parcs.
The Auqa Mundo was as good as ever. Nice choice of slides and rapids, good water temperature. I do not know how they do it CP, but although you can clearly smell the usage of chlorine in the water, your eyes DO NOT show any signs of it. I swim w/o glasses and my eyes are still white.
We have not tested the restaurants, as I find them hideously expensive for what it probably is. Go there if you want to - but in a self catering cottage you are better off cooking yourself.
Only real downpoint was the poolside burger bar, where you have to bring paticience (like half a hour patience) for your burger and chips. There is no haste in the food preparation and it is one order after the other. So be warned.
Other than that. This a is a good Center Parcs, located in a very nice place (of Belgium). Easiliy accessed from everywhere
