The nicest part is the terace at lobby level, where you can enjoy the beautiful views and a nice drink. The rest of the hotel suffers a lack of style and atmosphere through its lack a design. It is just a big concrete temple build at a prestine location. Ofcourse the service level is excellent and the food is of a good quality, you cant blame the staff for the building. So all in all you dont have the 5* feeling.

in my opinion, this is most beautiful Hotel in Slovenia, and maybe most beautiful hotel in the east europe ... splendid inside (interior), gorgeous beach, Portoroz is very lovely city, aprox. 50 m from hotel is free bus to Piran, which is beautiful historical city, etc, etc ... buffet lunch/supper was hearty & varied & tasty ...

I stay in the double room with kids, me and husband in the one room and kids in the second room. Between two ours rooms was connecting door. Listen to me good ! Hotel staff DECLINE/refused to lend me the keys between my room and kids room !!! I could not have children under control, this is very unpleasant, I had to go out into the hallway and then knocking on the door of children. :-((

toilet/bathroom without exhaust fan .. :-((

if you would like to visit trieste in Italy, please be aware of this: In the Sunday, DO NOT exist bus/train connection between Portoroz and Trieste, have to use taxi or boat.

Architecturally already a little bit outdated and also requiring a little bit of renovation when the rooms are concerned the hotels offers a splendid view over the Bay of Piran from within all guest rooms. Service is very friendly at checkin and checkout, breakfast service however was non-existant neither coffee nor tea were served - everything had to be taken from the buffet by yourself.

I was concerned when I read previous reviews about this hotel, but having returned from 2 week stay I can honestly say it is first rate. Travelled to this part of the world will know that a 5 star hotel here does not equate to a 5 star in the UK - so be prepared for a 4 start - but its sportlessly clean, fantastic beach area and the food is very fresh, plentifull and tasty. If you want romantic ambience for your evening meal you won't get it here as its buffet style, but now that eating out in Europe is so expensive, we found the vast selection of hot and cold food for both breakfast and Dinner to be very acceptable and we saved our money for going into Piran afterwards for a few drinks. The hotel is about 15 minute walk away from Piran (about 30 minutes from Portoroz) and there is a free bus from the adjacent "Park & Ride" as cars are only allowed in Piran with a permit. Overall a good quality hotel that had all we wanted. Yes we did detect a very occasional smell of drains on the waterfront - but we have experienced this in very many other "5 star" adriatic hotels and it is fleeting and does not detract from the location.
