We visited the hotel in autumn, which offered the possibility of only indoor pools. Is a nice hotel. The staff I was in contact with was great. Rooms are spacious and clean.
The only downside of the hotel is the spa, which does not give a true, good feeling.

Amazing holiday full of great activities

We enjoyed with our small kids several swimming pools with tubes, club for kids, sport activities for adults and interesting evening animations (musical, magician etc).

It would be good in summer

Recently booked the hotel based upon the wonderful photos of their outdoor area, pools, etc. Emailed the hotel in advance to ask if outdoor pools were opened and no responses. Arrived with 2 kids saddened to see emptied pools outdoors and essentially the main reason for the long trip gone. Small indoor pool was jammed full of people. Food was good value for money. Staff was very efficient and pleasant. Absolutely no mention of the pools closed or seasonal factors on their websites.

Expensive for what you get

The hotel had no feel and was very worn. It was very loud and busy. Not enough parking for the number of hotel rooms so you had to park a long way away.

Family Fun

This hotel had the potential to be fives all the way, but unfortunately they don't maintain items very well. Furniture was stained, towels were stained, even the napkins at dinner were worn very thin. The meals were cafeteria, buffet style, which we all enjoyed. The variety of food offered made it nice to try new things, but know there was something you could always rely on. The pools and slides were fun for all, and the kids enjoyed the kids only items! Overall, we probably would go back. The staff was very quick to make the sofa bed for us, and in general it was a great experience, just a bit under maintained!

pleasant 3 day weekend...

Hotel was nothing special, well traveled and busy. The bed was great, really comfortable and the pillows and blankets were the best you could ask for. Me, my wife, and 2.5 year old daughter had no problem having a good nights sleep. The pool was great, not so busy and everyone having a good time. We were staying during the winter so we could only use the indoor pool. The outdoor pools looked great and im sure in the summer they are a popular place to be. The breakfast was excellent and couldnt ask for more. They even had soya milk and rice milk. Not something you see all the time. As far as other meals we dined in Umag and have to say there are some great deals on really amazing food in the city center. Drinks in the lobby bar were also cheap in price. A 0.5 liter beer will put you back about 20 KN or around 4$ all desserts were priced at 17KN or around 3.5$ which isnt bad for a hotel. Its only a small walk to the beach which sits dirrectly across the street from the building (less than 5 minutes). I wanted to talk about others that had complained. I got MORE than I paid for and really enjoyed it. I dont think you can get any better than this at this price. You wont find Champane at breakfast and if thats what you want then you need to dig just a bit deeper into your pockets and go to a more expensive more luxurious hotel. I almost forgot they have an arcade on the level floor with a few pinball machines and about 6 arcade games. It was expensive but a treat to say the least

Perfect place to relax!

This was a great resort for us. We went in the autumn when it wasn't completely full and it was nice and relaxing. Their buffet breakfast was great but the dinner left a lot to be desired and there aren't many options for dinner in the near vicinity so I recommend having dinner in town before retiring. There is a cute little tourist train that takes you to old town several times a day so even the distance from town is not inconvenient.
In addition, we got a wonderful value rate in the offseason and really enjoyed the fact that our room had a balcony to enjoy the crisp fall air.

Anbefales på ingen måte

Hotellet er markedsført som firestjerners hotell med utendørs og innendørs svømmebasseng, treningsrom og air condition. Realiteten er dessverre noe annet og hotellet hadde hatt godt av en oppussing.
For det første så er air condition-anlegget sentralstyrt, så du må ta til takke med den temperaturen hotellet bestemmer for alle rommene. I vært tilfelle var det 25 grader på rommet de første nettene også kom det seg ned til 24 grader de siste nettene. Hotellet ville ikke gjøre noe med dette. Treningsrommet var altfor varmt og mye av utstyret virket ikke slik det skulle. Vektbelastning kunne for eksempel ikke justeres siden det var boltet fast. Innenførsbassenget hadde de valgt å stenge siden få brukte det. Kjøleskapet på rommet virket ikke, og de mente vi ikke trengte det siden vi også hadde booket et annet rom til barna der det fungerte. Rommet var generelt veldig slitent. Maten på hotellet var bra for barna, men det var ikke noe vi voksne så frem til. Du kunne heller ikke ta med deg noe (vann/frukt etc.) til rommet. Vannet i utebassenget var så kaldt at man knapt kunne bade der, selv om det var over 30 grader ute. I havet like ved var det mye varmere, så hvordan de fikk til dette vet jeg ikke. Hotellet anbefales på ingen måte og jeg forventer en mye høyere standard når en betaler nesten 6000 kroner per natt (for to små rom).

Very disappointing experience!

My family and I stayed for three nights and had a disappointing experience.

The most important issue was that the A/C was not working properly. We visited in July so the temperature outside exceeded 30 degrees Celcius. Therefore, it was very concerning for us to find out that the temperature in our room was 28 degrees Celcius when we went to sleep. Moreover, I woke up in the middle of the night because the A/C was so noisy that I thought there was a thunderstorm outside.

Next morning I contacted the reception and they said that they would reduce the temperature and that the room would be cooler when we returned from the pool in the afternoon. That was, however, not the case. I was in the contact with the reception on several occasions that afternoon/evening and in the end, at 23:15, they offered us to switch rooms. At that time our kids were sleeping so we agreed to switch the following day (our final night). We were told that we got the coolest suite in the hotel but at night the temperature in the sleeping room was 26 degrees Celcius and very humid - so we had another hot night.

When I stay at a so-called high-end 4-star resort then the A/C MUST work flawlessly and the 10% price reduction we received cannot make up for the disappointment.

In addition to the A/C issues we had all sorts of other bad experiences such as a dirty pool and the fact that we were refused access to the aqua park facilities even though that was emphasized as free in the hotel description.

Urlaub mit Familie

Wir waren mit unserem Aufenthalt rundum zufrieden. Das einzige was uns etwas gestört hat, war der Lärmpegel im großen Speisesaal. Nach 2 Tagen waren wir im kleinen Speisesaal. Dort hat es uns super gut gefallen.
Wir hatten 2 Zimmer getrennt voneinander gebucht und bekamen trotzdem 2 Zimmer mit Verbindungstür. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an die Rezeption, die das von sich aus möglich machte.
Das gesamte Personal im Hotel ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit!!!!

Nagyon jò.

Nagyon szuper szálloda,az ételek finomak,szuperek a medencék.ami negatívumot tudnék írni,hogy a gyerekeknek nyújtott all-inclusive szolgáltatást nem tudtuk igénybe venni,hiszen egy elkerített részbe kell bemenni a kis gyerekeknek szülők nélkül és sajnos a mi kisfiunk 5 évesen nem mert egyedül bemenni sem nemhogy kiszolgálja magát.Emellett arrogáns fiatalok kísérik be a gyerekeket,akiknek pròbáltuk elmagyarázni hogy legalább ott állhassunk a gyerek mellett még eszik de minôsíthetetlen stílusban kitessékelt.onnantòl többet ezt a szolgáltatást igénybe sem vettünk.Sajnos ez nagyon rosszul van megoldva hiszen a kisgyerekek egyedül a szülők nélkül nem nagyon szeretnének enni pláne nem egy közös családi nyaraláson!ezt leszámítva nagyon tetszett a szálloda,szuper jò hely.

Kaotisk og kæmpe hotel uden charme

Vi rejste med 3 børn ml 3 og 11 år. På den positive side var børnene vilde med poolområdet og vandrutchebanerne, men ellers er der ikke meget positivt at sige om hotellet. Det er kæmpe stort og kaotisk - ved poolområdet ligger man som sild i en tønde og folk var oppe meget tidligt om morgenen om reservere solstole - så hvis man ville have solstole skulle man stå tidligt op. Selvom man ikke måtte dette, gjorde hotellet intet ved det.

Der er meget slidt omkring på hotellet. Blandt andet virkede aircondition ikke på vores værelse optimalt, idet vi ikke kunne skrue længere ned end til 23,5 grader. Trods henvendelse til personalet, blev det ikke ordnet. Vores værelser (connecting rooms) lå yderst på etagen lige ved siden af rengøringspersonalets rum, hvilket betød at vi hver morgen blev vækket kl 6 om morgenen når personalet mødte ind og blandt andet kørte med deres store vogne med håndklæder mv hen over klinkegulve mv - det larmede virkeligt meget (og vi er vant til at rejse meget og er ikke sarte). Det er ikke ok når man har betalt 2.500 kr. pr nat.

Der hørte halvpension med i opholdet, og måltiderne foregik i kæmpe spisesale med larm, kaos og kø ved maden. Der var slet ikke rart og selvom vi havde betalt for det, valgte vi at spise ude af hotellet. Kvaliteten af maden var heller ikke god.

Alt i alt synes vi på ingen måde opholdet var pengene værd, og kan ikke anbefale hotellet. Find et mindre hotel med mere sjæl og uden kaos.

Familienhotel

Wir haben 11 Nächte in diesem Hotel verbracht.Das Einchecken war relativ neutral,mit wenigen Worten erledigt,unfreundlich war niemand,aber eben auch nicht sonderlich freudig. Dieses eher passive Verhalten spiegelte sich in vielen Bereichen wieder,das Personal läuft teilweise einfach stumm an den Gästen vorbei.Das Zimmer ist zweckmäßig und schon ziemlich abgewohnt,das Bett ist sehr groß, der Schlafkomfort eher mittelmäßig.Unser Bad bzw. die Toilette war schmutzig, dies wurde anstandslos behoben,nachdem wir dies bemängelt haben.Sonst war die Sauberkeit völlig in Ordnung und unser Zimmermädchen war immer sehr freundlich und machte gute Arbeit.Das Essen lässt leider sehr zu wünschen übrig.Der Kaffee aus dem Automat schmeckt wirklich fürchterlich, einfach ungenießbar. Das Rührei war noch glibberig und flüssig. Das Abendbuffet bietet wenig Abwechslung,die Salatdressings waren sehr wässrig.Und was ich schmerzlich vermisste war das Obst. Es gab zwar immer haufenweise Äpfel, Kiwi, Bananen aber sehr sparsam gab es Melone und Ananas. Das Obst war oft unreif und schmeckte nach nichts.Die Hotel Anlage dagegen fanden wir echt spitze. Der Pool ist sehr groß und hat uns viel Spaß bereitet. Es gab immer genügend Liegen. Die großen Rutschen sind toll und wir haben sie täglich genutzt.Es gab jede Menge Kinderbetreuung, sogar ein Mittagessen für Kinder. Abends gab es tägl.eine Show oder Live Musik. Das Hotel ist für Familien mit Kindern empfehlenswert.

Preis Leistung passt nicht

Falls beim Frühstücksbuffet etwas ausging wurde es nur selten aufgefüllt - Minuspunkt! Auch die Auswahl für kalte Speißen wie Wurst und Käse hätte größer sein können. Die öffentlichen Toiletten in der Lobby sind ein Graus! Klopapier wird nicht nachgefüllt, wenn man Glück hat gibt es sogar noch den Klodeckel zum Hinsetzen und auch NACH der Putzfrau herrscht dort noch immer ein unangenehmer Geruch! Das Zimmer war ganz okay, bis auf die rutschige und kleine Badewanne mit Duschwand! -
Für eine Schwangere nicht gerade ideal. Achja der Sprossenheizkörper war etwas mehr als rostig - passte nicht ganz zum toll renoviertem Zimmer! Die Anlage sonst sieht super aus, schöne Poollandschaft, nicht weit zum Meer und jeden Abend gab es Unterhaltung auf einer Bühne!
