Oh my...where to begin. First off...Porec and the Istrian coast were fantastic. I highly reccomend the trip as the coastline was beautiful and the whole experience fantastic. We stayed in the Apartments Lanterna Sunset which claim to be remodeled in 2006. Oh please! If you call slapping some plaster on cracks in the wall, then ok...they were 'remodeled' Can't really complain as we paid 54 euro/night through their website, but it wasn't particularly clean and definitely not remodeled. Be prepared to have Kuna on you as hardly anywhere in the complex takes credit card AND if you want to charge to your room you have to tell the desk first. We found this out the hard way after we left the reception area after specifically telling them we intended to charge to the room....walked all the way to the restaurant who told us no...we had to go back to reception and pay first...very annoying especially with two hungry children. Not easy to find anyone who spoke English...they all spoke German to us which was ok (we can understand a little) In conclusion....definitely take the trip to Porec and Croatia in general (we also spent two nights in Plitvice Lakes which was amazing) but don't stay at Apartments Lanterna....even at our cheap rate I wouldn't stay again.

Side Note: Also VERY noisy with a disco blaring every night until 4 am. Perhaps if I was in my 20's and single again this might be a great place....just not for a family with young kids.
