Perfectly adequate hotel in good area with large apartment, kitchen with all necessities even a washing up kit. Gorgeous harbour and nice balcony. Pool was a family area with boisterous kids club, hotel supermarket was fairly empty, cafe bar closed during the day and car park was packed. Good for family stays.
I did rated it higher because in the hotel pictures shows a beach which gives you the impression that the beach belongs to the hotel and it is sand. The beach is next to the hotel and it is pebbles. The rooms are clean and good size, bathroom amazing and a good value breakfast, which you have to pay extra.
The hotel is old an really needs a refresh.
When we arrived at our room, we were really disappointed with the place. We wanted to go somewhere else. I went back to the reception to ask for a refund 5 minutes after having made the check in and they refused to give us back pur money. We did not have ant other choice than stay there.
The people working at the reception where not nice at all and kept repeating that this was what we reserved
The Internet has stopped working during a whole afternoon.
This place is like an hotel in Cuba with all the inconveniences and none of the advantages: loud, no place to sut around the pool, overpriced restaurants, etc
Do not rent a room there. Better stay in Pula and go to the beach during the day!
Special thanks to the cleaning lady who was the only nice person that met out there.
We really enjoyed this stay as a family! You literally do not even have to leave the resort if you don’t want to .there’s so much to do and it was very nice. Our only downfall was the room ac was not as cold as we would have liked but that’s expected anywhere in Europe. It still was a lot better than other places I’ve stayed. The room included a kitchenette and there is even a small convenience store at the resort if you would like to purchase and make your own food! As I said before they have everything you really don’t have to leave the resort. We ate breakfast & dinner at the resort restaurant and it was pretty good. The view is magnificent. It says pizzeria on hotels.com but they have everything from pasta to burgers! I really enjoyed the seafood pasta ! Yummy! The seafood was so fresh! The resort also has a bar that services icecream & cocktails. They also have a souvenir shop where we got souvenirs, floats, water shoes, and sun hats. The hotel will exchange euros for Kuna (Croatia’s currency) & they have an atm on sight! The resort is stroller friendly! We took the scroller every where including the roof top pool! The spa was magnificent, it cost but 100% worth it. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a sign to book this is your sign! ;) 10/10 would go back!!
All positive, reception was always happy to help whatever the question. The rooms were simple, clean and a beautiful view with our sea view balcony, well worth the extra few pounds. Restaurant on site was great, fast and friendly service and every meal we had as a family we really enjoyed. Not a long list of meals to choose from which suited us fine, maybe would have enjoyed more dessert choices.
We hired a car and got around the area which was great with so much within 30mins it was stress free. There are walkways and bike paths everywhere, only 5/10 mins walk takes you to Centinara beach which we preferred over the beach which is attached to hotel.
Will definitely be back.
I booked a sea view and got a ground floor in a corner that didn’t have any view. It was unsafe, with no lights outside in the parking lot, nor in front of my room. Perfect spot for burglars. Someone opened my door at 7.45am and I still don’t know who that person was. I called multiple times lobby and no one ever picks up. They had me walk half mile with my suitcases since no one could help. If you want something cheap, this is for you. If not, avoid. Only one towel in the apartment.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Hotel was pretty clean. Bed was terribly uncomfortable. Springs in the bed stabbed you in the back. Made a bunch of noise while sleeping. Thin walls on the hotel rooms, very easy to hear even normal conversations.
Lovely resort, quiet location especially for teenagers, but we stayed towards the end of the season before the resort closed for the winter so it was expected.
Only negative is that the park view apartment that we booked was a "car park" view! A bit mean of the management to provide a car-park view when many of the water facing apartments were vacant.
This hotel was perfect for our family. We have a 3 year old and 21 month old. They loved the pool. We walked to the beach and they loved that, too. The restaurant had great food and ambiance. We didn’t use the animation room. It was convenient to have the grocery store there as well. I’d recommend this for anyone on vacation near Pula!
Relaxing, great food & drink. Views were fabulous. A lot of German nationals which glared at me and my partner an awful lot, which was very uncomfortable. It is very family orientated.

Nice hotel, lovely view
After reading some of the reviews I was a little worried but I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived.
We had a 2 bedroom apartment for 3 adults and 2 children and yes you do walk into one of the bedrooms from the corridor but we didn't particularly find this to be a problem. There is a door which separates both bedrooms from the living area, which has a sofa bed.
We had a large balcony with a table and chairs and the view over the pool and the bay was really lovely.
The shop doesn't have a huge range but it ok if you are just there for a few days like we were. We ate in the restaurant once and the food was nice. There are a couple of other restaurants near the hotel but it is in quite a quiet area. We got a taxi into Pula which was about £20.
We enjoyed our short stay at the hotel.
The Hotel itself is lovely but They do not clean the rooms at all - the only change towels once a week If you are lucky and you have to remind them to do so. Our bed linen was only changed once in two weeks - They just keep saying its hotel policy. The location is very remote so if you don't mind only the facilities in the hotel (one restaurant & icecream parlour. The staff in the bar are lovely but the staff in restaurant are not as accommodating. There was NOT an amazing menu of food choices. The hotel staff are very busy so you have to wait to speak to them. The pool was lovely but the entertainment is minimum. There is a lovely restaurant straight across from the hotel which is lovely and they try and accommodate you with everything. The buses are minimum Only every hour and can take 45 minutes to get to Pula but the view was worth it (you wouldn't do it everyday). Overall we were disappointed and it made our summer holiday an expensive lesson.
