“Great for family with kids, but very crowded due to the big no. of rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is very nice, refurbished but with to many rooms, therefore it is very busy during lunch or dinner. The hotel offers quite a lot of sports opportunities incl. animation for different sports. We have been there already the 3rd time, but it was the first time during August. The other two times it was in September and it was much better, during September, as it is not that crowded. Food in the restaurant is very good, but we recommend to use the two other options you have, by going down to the seaside and have a dinner with a set menu (changes every day) or using the "cantina" also with a set menu per day, but you need to book a table upfront for those two options.

“Perfect location and wonderful hotel for a summer holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2010

This is our favourite hotel for seaside holidays.
Easy to reach, nice and clean rooms, whatever you would like to get you will get. For the children it is the best you can have: swimming pools with games, mini club and animation. The peninsula where it is located is very nice and clean; you can really enjoy the Croatian sea!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner with a full and complete buffet; if you want you can also enjoy special restaurants.
Only one small detail to be 110% perfect... some more creativity with cakes (normally ice creams and creams/puddings of any type but all similar) in the buffet.

“amazing animation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2010

people found this review helpful

Cant tell you how much me and my family enjoyed the hotel. We thought it would be a small complex but it was massive. When we got to the hotel someone was quick to take our luggage straight to our rooms we checked in quickly and were in the restaurant soon after it was that quick! The complete animation team were fantastic there were 18 in all and they all had specialties . The children animaters always kept the children entertained and the sport animaters were always getting poeple active. Food wise I could not fault it there was a great choice of salad as well as pizza and meat /fish. Every night there waitresses the greet you along with the animation representive which appeared to be a lobster. There were 3 pools all of them were good sized. Every morning you could get fresh towels from the towel service so there was no need to bring our own ! Although the hotel was not located no where near anywhere. Porec was short distance in the car/bus/taxi. The bar staff were always plesent and the reception staff were always happy to help even in the buissest of times! Down by the beach there was may things to do including pedal boats/ sailing/ diving and much much more! It was more a family holiday altough couples who were sporty would find many things to do. The hotel is excatly how it is portrayed through the web pictures.I cannot find 1 fault and does not know why it it is not a 5 star!

“good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010

person found this review helpful

It is a huge resort with lots of kids. So do not go there if you are looking for a quiet vacation. The pools are very crowded but you can find some more peaceful spots on the beach or in the huge park of the hotel. There is a small sandy beach which is nice for small children. Service was very friendly.

“Why ruin your long anticipated holiday?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I am truly puzzled with the amount of positive reviews about this resort. I went there in summer 2009 with my husband and a 2 year old son, we left the following morning. Here's why:
Cleanliness – we found lots of hair in the bathroom, especially in the shower area; also someone left a T-shirt and a long skirt in the closet of our room – didn't fit any of us!
Standard of rooms – simple, somewhat tarnished, would do with some retouches (wall paint, floor tiles); doesn't bear resemblance to the room shown on pics of the hotel's website
Breakfast – I have never seen such a huge breakfast room so thronged with people, lots of screaming and running kids, this room had no end, my school canteen was nothing compared to that and it was quite huge; the result: no privacy, no comfort, no table to sit at, long queues; some people don't mind this, but we certainly did.
Sea view room on 2nd floor – probably means that your room will overlook a flat metal roof (of the beauty center I guess); the sea was probably somewhere behind it, don't know, the roof was quite long.
Relaxation – from 5am onwards hordes of seagulls were screaming their heads off just outside our bedroom, even with windows and doors closed the sound was unbearable.
The only positive aspect of this hotel was the friendly staff – the check-in was quick, they let us leave on the following morning with no hassle (thank you!); generally, all of them were smiling. I guess that is because they have this efficient staff rating system with „employee of the month” where some voting is required to win – that works.
To sum up: trashy, overcrowded resort that left a very bad impression, but again, some folks like it!
We left for hotel Monte Mulini in Rovinj, a splendid 5 star newly-built facility, and never looked back.
