Plus:
- The hotel is simply beautiful, located on the high part of town; it offers stunning views of the island of Krk and the beautiful mediterranean landscape. You can see they pay a special attention to the cleanliness of the entire structure.
- Our junior suite was beautiful and clean, very comfy bed, air conditioning OK (when we arrived didn't work, but they fixed it in minutes) Alhough the hotel was full, you could hardly hear any noise when in room.
- Great terrace bar, beautiful views and very good cocktails!
- Very good and wide choice at breakfast buffet, with indoor/oudoor seating
- The dinner consisted in a main dish to order, and salads, cheese, entrees and desserts in buffet style. We appreciated the food, although the variety at buffet did not change too much during the four days we spent there
- The spa is not big, but good enough as probably the most of hotel guests choose other activities. There is an hammam and a finnish sauna (both pretty small) and a Jacuzzi for 4 people. The indoor swimming pool is fascinating and very quiet.
- Service is attentive and happy-to-help, but not all of the staff share this attitude.
- High speed LAN internet connection available for free in the room.
Minus:
- The hotel has no private beach, if you want to stay by the seaside, you gotta go to the public beach. Access is not free, so take your tickets at reception. Deckchairs and beach umbrella are available at a fee.
- Restaurant service can be slow and is a point of improvement. Since there are no free drinks at the restaurant (even water), and if you want to order something, you need to wait for the waiter. And the wait can be long. Not all of the staff is English or Italian speaking.
- Parking may be tricky, especially when it’s packed and you need to park on the sidewalk by the trees.
- When we arrived to the room, we realized that aircon panel missed the temperature knob (fixed in minutes, very quick repair) and the washbasin was cracked. That’s not what you expect to find in a suite.
- The swimming pool area is very nice but tiny and you need to be an early bird if you want to catch a couple of deckchairs
In general, we enjoyed a lot the four days spent there. None of the remarks was enough to spoil the vacation, while the pluses of the hotel are very good. We won’t forget the views at sunset, sipping our aperitifs in an elegant and relaxing atmosphere.
