While this is a very beautiful hotel, I can't begin to describe the "hands off" feeling you get about everything there. I don't recall ever seeing the lounge open during the day. You have to unload your car about a 1/4 mile from the front of the hotel. If you're lucky, you can find a bellman there. If not, you lug the stuff yourself. The staff is not friendly. It is hard to navigate thru the hotel. For some strange reason, when you get off the elevator on your floor, you have to go down about 8 steps to actually get to your floor. Carrying suitcases?! How user friendly is that? Lots of public areas that are closed. Very strange. I just go a very unwelcome feeling about the whole experience there.

This hotel is in a nice location - right on the water, and away from the two towns of Portoroz and Piran. Which could make for a problem if you want to walk anywhere. It's a bit of a hike to either town, but there is a free shuttle to Piran if you walk about 1 kilometre to catch it. If you want do anything besides hang out at the pool, beach, etc. you should check out another hotel.

The hotel itself is nice enough - no complaints - but it has a touristy feeling to it. Nothing special, quaint, etc. Like a Mediterranean Holiday Inn.

If you idea of fun is to be surrounded by hundreds of elderly germans then this is your place!

Rooms are ok, front desk service is slightly "soviet style" ("come tomorrow", "I need to ask the manager who is not here..." but overall the staff is friendly.

More of an OK *** experience than an international **** hotel.
