Wir wohnten zu fünft ( 2 Erwachsene und drei Kinder) in einer Villa . Davon gibt es mehrere, die aneinander gebaut sind. Die Villa hat zwei Schlafzimmer ( ein Doppelbett und ein französisches Bett) und eine Schlafcouch. Zusätzlich eine kleine Küchenzeile und zwei Bäder (1xDusche und 1x Duschwanne). Das Appartement ist sauber, aber schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Positiv ist die Klimaanlage im Appartement. Wir haben aufgrund der Bewertungen das All inklusive Angebot gebucht. - das können wir auch nur empfehlen! Das Essen ist sehr lecker und vielfältig. Besonders positiv hervorheben ist der Bereich der Kinderbetreuung. Alles neu und für jedes Alter was dabei.

Accommodation blocks a bit dated but rooms have have updated. Food good and beer/wine fine. Soft drinks with meals poor. Very clean resort with lots of staff. Lots of young children. Expect to pay for almost all activities (including sun beds at the beach). This is clearly stated if you look at the hotel website - I missed it though on the Expedia site. Overall a relaxing week. Enjoyed it.

Hotel close to the beach

Great facilities but the dining experience was awful. One restaurant, full of queues, little variety and HUGE amounts of noise. If you tried to move to another on site restaurant ( as part of the all inclusive package) you had to book 48 hours in advance and even then it was a limited set menu. If it rains, as it did for us on most days there is very little to do and space is compromised. The noise from the entertainment was overwhelming and went on till around 1130 hrs most nights.

Fun in the Sun

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We have stayed at all inclusive resorts before and not enjoyed the food or the level of cleanliness. This was an exception. The location was terrific, right by the ocean. There were several pools to select to spend your time also. The food was varied and good. Wine and beer were included with dinner. We enjoyed a road trip to Porec and Rovinj which were easily accessible by car. This place is especially great for families with school aged children. There were many children's activities, but they sometimes cost extra. The beds were incredibly comfortable too!

Das Essen ist hervorragend und das Personal freundlich. Das Zummer war für 2 Personen zu klein und hatte Mängel. Der Balkon lieblos und mit billigen Plastikmöbel ausgestattet. Insgesamt passt das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis nicht so recht. Das Hotel ist für Familien mit Kinder auf Grund des Spielangebots gut geeignet. Ebenso für Tennisspieler. Für Reisende mit Hund ist aber abzuraten. Das Hotel verlangt unverschämte 30€ pro Nacht. Die Strände für Hunde sind klein und an der „letzten Ecke“.
