Center Parcs Bispinger Lüneburger Heide

Amazing experience, worth taking the time to come especially there. Lots of activities and nature. Great food. Great water park. We will be definitely coming again. Especially recommend renting bikes and exploring the park and nature together.

We stayed for a week, mainly in the hopes of my daughter picking up some German. The hotel rooms are fine for what you pay, and clean, although downstairs in the main hall, especially after breakfast, it could smell a bit weird. Towels don't smell nice either. The cottage houses look very dark, so I'm happy we stayed in the hotel instead. Car parking for a small additional amount per day at the hotel was great. The main building is clean and bright, and the pool is nice for an hour or two a day. The main reason why I give two stars are the poor parrots in the small cage in the main building. Very animal unfriendly, and those parrots scream really loudly throughout the day. Their screamy noise is terrible, and I feel very bad for the poor parrots; they are clearly not happy. The kid entertainment wannabe workshops are great, my daughter loved them. The other entertainment like the disco and bingo lacked energy. We expected more entertainment for kids (everyday, which was not the case), and with more variety and enthusiasm. The entertainer was really friendly, but I expected multiple entertainers and more interaction with the kids. The activities schedule in the app did not always match the actual schedule, and one of the wannabe workshops was cancelled due to insufficient materials. So overall the entertainment program was a bit of a disappointment, although the staff was really nice. Food was what you can expect for a budget hotel/resort. None of the restaurants had great quality food, but we we're happy with the vegetarian/vegan variety/options. Waiting lines can be crazy at the restaurants though, and especially at the bakery. My daughter loved the stay, I wouldn't book again though.
