Center Parcs Subtropical Swimming Paradise — Attraction in Great Britain

Such a great place to visit at Centerparcs. Especially if it's raining out. You totally forget that with the tropical feel and temperature. Love the pools for the kids and the slides. The rapid river is excellent and even though it's no lazy river it's nice just to let yourself get dragged along bu the current.

The Lazy river against the indoor pool is nice. The kids love that.

The staff are friendly and most seem to enjoy the interaction with customers.

The toddler area with pirate ship and other water play area is fantastic. Though the pirate part does feel a bit cold. The ambient air seems lower.

We are at the upstairs Caffe for the first time and I must say they could up the quality of the food. It'l was overpriced for the quality. Dry chewy hot dog rolls and the Pizza panini with chicken lumped in top was edible but isn't going to win any awards. For the cost of Centerparcs they could just upgrade the quality to be on par with the other Restaurants.

I seen some complaints on loungers with towels on and not many people actually using them. I witnessed this and why people do it here I don't know.

The flumes and other slides are fantastic, but ques likely on. busy days. Doesn't take long and there's a light system in places so people don't go down too close together.

I love all the plantation there. Totally takes away the indoor swimming pool feels and transport s you to somewhere tropical.

It would nice if Centerparcs built a standalone pool for normal swimming.

Plenty of lockers and changing areas, with family rooms etc.

No need for money for lockers as the chalet key band...

We had great fun here - not so much a swimming pool more of a fun pool.

It did feel like you are in a tropical paradise. The main pool is large with an attached lazy river and at quarter past and quarter too the hour they turn the wave machine on.. Which is great fun, but keep your eye on your smaller kids as is can be a bit intense.

The lazy River is fun as you get pushed pulled around the channel by the jets.

There is also a whirlpool/jacuzzi next to the main pool.

For younger ones there is a toddler area with some gentle slides and water jets and fun areas with jets and water drops. Great fun.

They are some slides for the brave - two enclosed tube sides which are great fun and two INTENSE short and fast slides which lead into an underground type pool connected to the main pool.

The pool offers some activities in the morning before the pool opens like water jets and little boats for toddlers. All at extra charge.

Changing rooms were clean although it is a bit of a maze. Lockers open and lock using your lodge wristband which is just awesome and easy.

All in all this was great fun and we probably would have spent our entire time here if it was been up...

A nice pool with lots of variation and different things to try to keep things interesting. I'm not sure why the staff feel it's acceptable though to remove people from the pool before closing time. Our bookings were for 7-9PM each day but the staff are determined to remove everyone by 8:55. It may only be 5 minutes but it's 5 minutes we paid for! My daughter was also quite upset by a lifeguard blowing their whistle at her (when he was stood only a few feet from her) and chastising her for trying to use a slide at 8:55! The closing announcement was also strange; the announcer stated at 8:45 "the pool will be closing in fiften minutes" - that's not a typo, he said fifTEN minutes - as if it were some kind of attempt to fool people into leaving. The 2 largest/newest slides were also closed for half of our visits; according to 1 member of staff it was due to "4 staff off with Covid" but according to another member of staff "it's closed between 7-9 for Covid cleaning" - not really fair when the kids are all geared up for it and no mention is made regarding closures during or...
