Very easy to book directly. After Trieste got lost a bit found Koper wasn't sign-posted too well by the Italians, PLEASE NOTE signs will say Slovenia for a time then look out for "Capodistra" which is the old name for the town which used to be on a island.
Hotel is part of a chain of 3 and 4* hotels, with an emphasis on relaxation and wellness. Has a beauty parlour. We did H/B. It was simply brilliant value! We did three days before going elsewhere. The hotel is on the coast road out of Koper. The swiming pool complex is a kind of mini center-parks style place, indoor and outddoor. We had a really funny water aerobics lady and the kids "animation team" didn't disappoint and got their fancy dress on. we had a disco DJ for an hour one afternoon. The pool water outdoors was a little cold, indoors was warm and salty,and is actually on the first floor above reception, with an all around glass balcony. Our room was overlooking the sea and pool. The weather was perfect and it was great watching the really big ships come by into Koper Port. Didn't seem to have many English staying there, and more geared towards the Italians who visit over the border here regularly for the cheap cigs and booze. Everything was cheap this summer there, who knows what the euro will do to this wonderful country and it's people? At night, there is an avarage Pizzeria outside ( separete business, but part of the building) cheap large pizza for an evening snack £5-er. The best place for snack ANY time of night was the mini mart with hot and cold deli to the right as you leave reception. So cheap! Hot dogs for about 60p, can of Coke 20p, 3 litre bottle about 75p. They had crisps and all you need. There's a mini bar fridge in the room. It is not worth taking your drinks from it, just use it as a fridge. Sheets, beds, pillow, towels all very clean and staff helpful and friendly. Highly recommended. Great for families with children of all ages.
Koper, although not one the most quaint of all the coastal towns has a fab outdoor market, some very interesting alternative herbal chemists, nice harbour, and very reasonably priced clothes and shoes and cafes. The Slovenians here love their rollerblades and bikes and seem to lead a very healthy lifestyle. This is a perfect base for Portoroz, not as glam and on the main coastal road out, but do both!
