Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was large, cozy, and very clean, though we booked a sea view and only got a partial one. The location was excellent, almost in front of the sea and easily accessible by local buses. The dining experience was great, with a large selection of international foods for both breakfast and dinner.
The hotel surprised me with spacious rooms divided into two areas for daytime use, although lacking a balcony for drying beachwear. The service was top-notch, with professional and attentive staff, appreciated gestures for special occasions, and a variety of amenities. The location was well-maintained but lacked atmosphere. The dining experience was wonderful, offering a great selection of international foods. The facilities were quite good and copious.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was very nice, almost in front of the sea, but the room I had was advertised as a sea view, however, it only had a tree view. The service was a bit hit and miss, with Debora at reception being very helpful, but some staff members could use more training in customer service. The dining options were delicious and hearty, with plenty of warm and cold foods to choose from. Overall, the hotel offers value for money due to its convenient location and good dining.
The hotel had spacious rooms with wardrobe space and a tree view. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, especially from Debora at reception. The location offered a lovely place with beautiful coastlines. Dining options were copious and great, with plenty of international foods available. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite delightful. The rooms were nice and clean, although the toilet was extremely small. We unexpectedly had a partial sea view, which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel offered a spacious room divided into two areas between 6:30 to 9 pm, which was larger than anticipated.
Although our stay was comfortable, the room lacked a balcony for drying beach items, and we encountered a terrible smell and some cleanliness issues during our 5-night stay. The hotel staff was a mix of friendly and helpful individuals but also included an extremely rude and inflexible receptionist. The location was reasonably close to the beach, offering a lovely holiday experience with a beautiful coastline and great water sports options. The facilities were generally good, although some areas needed improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not convenient due to no elevator access and had a noticeable smell of smoke from neighboring rooms. However, the inclusive breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets were a nice touch. The service was lacking in customer service skills but redeemed itself with special occasion gifts in the room and good cleanliness standards. The location was decent, although lacking atmosphere and sometimes filled with rowdy kids. The dining experience offered a good selection of warm and cold dishes, but cold dishes could be improved. Overall, the facilities were average.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel with a large, cozy, and very clean room, even though I booked a sea view but got only a partial one. The toilet/shower room was a bit small though. The broken balcony door handle was a minor inconvenience, but we didn't mind much since we weren't in the room all the time.
The hotel had clean rooms with a comfortable double bed but lacked a balcony for drying beach towels and swimsuits, and there was a lingering smell of smoke. The location was nice near Porec and close to beautiful beaches, but there were often rowdy kids. The service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff, although some employees could benefit from customer service training.
