Our family stayed at Luna Active Resort in July. We usually holiday in villas and this was our first experience of half board hotels with our family. At first we were disappointed with our smaller bedrooms, with no balcony and view of air con installations however we had not come to this hotel to stay in our bedrooms. The hotel was overall very clean and welcoming. The pool area was busy but you could soon find your own quiet spot. The food was plentiful, varied, regional at times and healthy. We stayed for 8 nights and by the 8th night the menus repeated so perhaps 7 nights is long enough.
The best thing about this hotel were the animation staff they were fantastic working from 8am until 11pm most nights and always full of energy and smiles. They organised everything from cycling tours, break dancing lessons to mini discos and were willing to share their knowledge of Croatia and their culture with guests. Porec as a resort is an extension of Germany, with German almost being the first language which was frustrating for us, as a British family, living in Eastern Europe and yearning for some English conversation. The town of Porec is very touristy with lots of hotels however the marina area is becoming more high class and cycling round the old town wall and swimming in the sea with the locals, as opposed to on the concrete platforms was magical.
The hotel was about 15 mins walk from the town centre however the hotel had a free bike hire between 8.30 and 7pm and there was also a tourist train which took you close to the town a couple of times per hour for a small charge.
We booked the hotel via the hotel groups website Valamour at at the time of booking received the offer of a sailing course for the children or a family trip to Venice, we choose the sailing course which took our 4 kids sailing for 3.5 hours on 6 consectuitive days.
I would be happy to recommend the hotel although Brits should be aware they will be surrounded by 98% Germans especially for families between the ages of 6 and 12.
