Beach: convenient, a stone's throw away, clear sea and pebble-free areas, with sand. Cemented area with lots of sunbeds and umbrellas. You just have to rush to grab them. There needs to be more control from the workers
Cheaper generic cola wasn’t good. The beach and pool area were nice
Well-kept structure, in a wonderful setting! Sea in front, a wonderful pine forest with a walkable path that leads to Umag, with a train available, which passes by marinas, villas, other resorts
Good quality, the choice is varied, and they have alternatives for intolerances, just a little repetitive. For the cost in August and the stars should put in a little more effort
Beautiful! Rooms: clean and comfortable All inclusive: everything is there! Catering: beautiful room with terrace overlooking the sea
Pools were a really good size & pool loungers with availability was questionable. People would be going down early morning to place towels down then going off for the day and not returning until mid afternoon
The trip from the bedroom to the restaurant or the pool is a bit cumbersome, as the elevator only goes to the reception area, and you have to walk down the length of the lobby and down the stairs to go to them
The highlight of our holiday was definitely the aquagym with Marco – he was so energetic, full of positive vibes, and always in a great mood! The music selection was fantastic, with great songs in English and Spanish that kept everyone moving and smiling
The highlight for us was the quality of the food in the restaurant, as well as all the staff there. Everyone in the restaurant area are extremely friendly and helpful
We had a perfect stay at Hotel Mediteran Plava Laguna! Everything was excellent – from the service and cleanliness to the beautiful surroundings
And again the food quality, considering the large number of people to serve, is outstanding
The beach is lovely and well-kept. One big advantage is the free charging for electric cars – a real plus! Overall, a solid choice for a relaxing seaside holiday
Hotel offers private parking which was great, location is right on the beach of Stella Maris and close to everything. Rooms were quite basic, but clean, nice balcony with a beautiful sea view
We spent a few days at Hotel Sipar Plava Laguna in September 2024 and had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is clean and nicely maintained, with a calm atmosphere
Most of the guests were German, which is also reflected in the style of service – organized and efficient. The food was good, and there’s a small water park for kids, which is a great bonus for families
Very good, some food a bit cold.
Pool is a little small but the beach makes up for that and it’s not a long walk to the beach. The room was clean and spacious too and most importantly during the COVID time the room was cleaned well
A large hotel complex with 4 swimming pools, located right on the seafront in a beautiful bay. Just a few minutes walk from the city center. This spacious room is well equipped with a minibar and air conditioning
Our rooms on 7th floor like student accommodation. Very few photos show this hotel bedrooms. Most reviews are from foreign guests
Lovely getaway
The views are beautiful. And the balconies are spacious but know that your neighbour may be a smoker and the smoke drifts into your room. It is difficult to find umbrellas either at the pool or beach
Amazing holiday with friends and family! Superb service, pools and bedroom views on the Adriatic sea!
We had a pleasant stay in hotel Mimosa. The rooms were very clean andequipped with all of our needs. We had a beautiful view to the harbor and enjoyed the singing of the birds from our large balcony
Everything was excellent once again. The one thing missing was evening entertainment. Great for families, young and old. You can walk out of your hotel and straight onto the beach
Great pool and location near the sea. Great beds in the park. Breakfast was delicious and very rich assortment. Parking infront off the hotel. Super place for sightseeing Rovinj and Pula.
We very much enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The hotel is surrounded by a small pine forest which is located right at the beach. The sunset was stunning! The hotel has a beautiful pool
Rooms very modern, service extraordinarily hard-working and nice. The pool could be a bit bigger, but there is a great shady garden with hammocks, beds and loungers
A hotel with a super good location and full sea view. The rooms are large and clean, with plenty of hot water. The hotel has its own beach and seaside green space. The price of the hotel restaurant is moderate
There is nothing that you don’t like about this property. This hotel is very well managed with professionals, friendly, and guest oriented people and of course, a lot of choice what to do for everybody.
Breakfast is top class, very high quality and lovingly presented. Good air conditioning, everything was wonderfully cool
It has all the facilities you require from a hotel - pool, dining, bar, small shop, cafe and it's very close to the sea where there are other facilites such as trattoria, sun bed hire and a wide range of watersports
Areas including the lobby are dark and the long corridor to the pool is dismal
we stayed at this hotel> it matched all that we hoped for. situation : ideal for walks into the town - opposite way into woods and walks along the shore
We chose the half board option, so breakfast and dinner in a buffet style. Again this was fine but got a bit samey after a week, but there are many restaurants close by and in Poreč for variety
We had a sea view from our room, which was great, especially watching the thunderstorms over the sea on a couple of evenings. The staff were all friendly, as were all the Croatians we met
There are many hotels in the area, most more modern than the Pical (pronounced Pee-sal in Croatian) so when compared against them the appearance of the Pical is dissaponting
Plus pool bottom and sides are all in white color, making it impossible to determine pool edges if you're swimming with open eyes or diving. We didnt't have time to go to wellness or gym, so no idea if that's good or not
Pool is mediocre, for some basic dipping and swimming it's ok, but if you want a lane to swim in, forget it
It's a big hotel and things run smoothly. However, for the price we paid, we expected a bit better room (one light wasn't working) and at least free parking. Restaurant was great with variety of food and soft drinks
Hotel staff should have known better and place family with small children away from little noisy footballers, after all they asked children age during booking procedure
Also, I cannot understan why were we put in a room on the floor with bunch of kids from some soccer camp. These little guys were extremely noisy during evening hours
The spa is quite small, also the rooms are not so big and the style is quite old. Food is nice and very efficient service
We had a very nice stay at Maslinica. We already plan our next visit😃 our first trip to Croatia but not the last one.
We stayed with our family for 5 days. I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel and everything, and we will definitely come back. good things: The restaurant has very good food, quite a few choices too
Hotel is overated, the rooms are from 70s you have Keys for door you can Listen everything around you the food is not for 4 star hotel we have ants in bathroom and smell from toilet hotel must be renovated imediatly the drink for the dinner is BAD beer is more waterbeer and other drinks Are water and juice together its not worth for the price never again we will back
We had a lovely stay. The room had a beautiful view and the service was great. Already planing our trip here for next year.
Sunbeds are free some things that bothered me: there is no supervision at the pools, people also have an inflatable boat at the pool, balls fly everywhere, you have to be careful because they are jumping on head
Croatia is a mesmirisingly beautiful country and it is really nice to visit it and enjoy its beauty. The hotel is situated in a small place called Rabac and overall I had a wonderful time there

However the highlight of my stay has been always the SPA in particular Sandra who evertime manages to make me feel like a new born baby🫶🌺 she is not only professional and Knowles but also her kindness and beautiful smile even from behind her mask makes my treatment special
Thank you dear Sandra 🌺♥️
My only discontent is maintenance and menu choices, I would just like to highlight that every room we stayed in needs few maintenance issue also the bathroom lock in the spa that was not repaired for the past 3 years, as of the food menu it would be great to see new choices there
This was my favorite hotel on the trip. It's expensive for a reason, and I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance. The scenery and service were top-notch, and the location was superb.
I consider Grand park home away from home, every one from reception, concierge, all the F&B outlets staff, pool attendants and all the spa staff knows us and constantly treat us with love and professionalism making our stay joyful and memorable
From our room with its own private plunge pool, overlooking the Old Town, the rooftop pools and the the beautiful promenade with the yacht club, to the amazing culinary experiences at the restaurants, this is a place and a stay we won't forget! The hotel even has its own shuttle boats to bring you to their private beach on a nearby island!
The staff was wonderful, and we got a personal introduction...
Lucija, a waitress at the poolside, deserves special mention as she was always extremely helpful and sunny as the weather! We will definitely be back
The staff is crazy kind and the service is great! The resort is close to the beach and has 3 swimmingpools. The only negative point is that our door couldn't close properly so the mosquitos came right in
Food choices are really great, there is lots of variety, clean pool and all around premises. The rooms and bathrooms could do with a bit of modernisation
Food was very delicious and had a wide choice on buffet. The buffet is nice decorated und all of the services are extremely friendly. The rooms are always clean and offer a cozy atmosphere
Unfortunately the drain in the bathroom was not working really well at first. But after giving the information to the rezeption, the „problem“ was fixed really fast
Coffee machines at breakfast time were really slow and lots of waiting in queues was taking place, they could do with a re-think of the whole system
Clean welcoming hotel, very family and child friendly, lots of entertainment for the children all ages, staff is very prompt to requests
Only small thing: the pools could’ve been a bit warmer, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, it’s a beautiful place and we’d totally come back!
Family vacation 4 persons 9 days stay
Great: daily room service, nice villa, gas grill possibility, perfect sport activities around the whole village, great pool bars with nice beverages and menus, kids club and mini disco every evening
Bungalow equipped with all amenities, dishes, cutlery, microwave, dishwasher (!). CLEAN AND SMELLY👍 Large shower, sun loungers on the terrace at guests' disposal. next to the beach with plenty of space
We had a wonderful stay at the Istrian Villas. Our villa was a great size, clean with a well equipped kitchen. The villa was modern and very comfortable. The grounds of the resort are beautiful
The waterfront near the villas is beautiful and relaxing. The staff have been very kind and accommodating during our stay. The first villa that we were given had a strong sewage smell
I politely asked for a move and they were able to give us the same size villa. They were very accommodating with this change. The location is close driving distance to Umag
Both me and my husband got hit by one. And I saw one fly over the balcony of the pool. Luckily nobody was walking below. The beach area was lovely, and there was some lovely walks round and about
For reference, we've got 3 small kids and this is THE family place we've found. We've been coming back here for 4 years in a row. It's tough to beat value-wise
Everything was just easy and enjoyable. We returned home full of energy and wonderful memories. Would definitely recommend Petalon to anyone looking for a calm, nature-surrounded seaside holiday in Istria
The staff is friendly and helpful. Poreč and Rovinj are nearby for daily excursions + the dino park in Funtana is surprisingly well done w/ lots of shade. All in all - warm recommendations for families
We spent a week at Maistra Select Petalon Resort in July 2025 and we’re absolutely thrilled! The location is breathtaking—right on the coast with beautiful pine trees and crystal-clear water
We especially loved the easy access to the beach and the walking paths along the shoreline. Breakfast and dinner were plentiful and delicious, with enough variety to please everyone
older but well-maintained hotel, perfect pastries for breakfast, good all inclusive (drinks and food all day), wonderful new wellness, helpful staff. in some rooms the air conditioning was not working properly
Excellent hotel.. ledt my passport and moneybin drawer in room by mistake one day was untouched ... nothing was too much trouble there
the staff was helpful and changed the room to a better one with good air conditioning
Excellent modern hotel, clean and well maintained.
went all inclusive. plenty of varity of food all areas spotlessly clean. staff friendly and eager to help. would be nice to have tea and coffee in room
Looks like a cruise ship that got stuck on the land. But it's ok.
The pools are fantastic, and our children absolutely adored the waterslides
This hotel is excellent, modern, clean and spacious. The facilities are very good, although the pools are quite deep, seemingly without shallow ends. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating
Wow!
Wow, it's my first time to Croatia and to be so lucky with my choice of hotel is unbelievable. The staff and the quality og the hotel was just amazing. I recommended this hotel to anyone. The food was also great!
Nice new hotel, nice location, parking nice, food average
We also visited Rovinj and Pula but found Porec to the be the nicest, although busy, and hot! The hotel attracts nationals of most European countries and on particular there seemed to be a lot of Austrian and German quests
The food is of good quality and variety. The only downside is that we found meal times to be quite chaotic and challenging. Partly due to the volume of people and quite frankly, out of control children, at times
If it's restaurant quality food you want then go to a restaurant! Pool area small but not a towel-on-bed-all-day type of place. Very close to everything, lovely atmosphere, beautiful area
It’s been a great holiday! The staff were kind, the food was better than I expected and we had a great time there. We were on a 7 day holiday as a family
Could you please check this? There are no other means of contacting you apart from calling the phone number, which would incur international charges
Unfortunately the escalator didn’t work, so we had to use the stairs with our so many package. The best part was the shows at night
Slept well, not noisy at all (we had the furthest away room in section C facing the front) lots of stairs without lift access which wasn't a problem for us but may be for others, especially with heavy luggage
Because in that bay all of the hotels is one company, they organised show like: kid show, rock concert and sport competition, and they were very very great. That was my favorite activity
Restaurant: we couldn’t fault the food plenty of choice never went hungry. Pool: nice refreshing pool same level all over. You could change pool towels throughout the day
Rooms: cleaned daily fridge toiletries hairdryer and free safe plenty of storage space and air con. We had a pool view and sea view. There is no kettle but I took my own
Nice and friendly staff, they’re all very kind. The hotel itself could use little renovation, carpets are old and dated. Also they could put as information that the hotel pool is for non swimmers
Location excellent, breakfast and evening meal both very good. Rooms facing the pool were ok , and the staff service was exemplary
Doesn’t seem enough sun loungers for amount of guests. We think we were the only English there but that didn’t both us. All staff were polite and friendly. Would definitely return and would recommend
The attitude of the staff is excellent, they are very kind and helpful. The food is very tasty and varied. I would like to point out that every evening there was some kind of entertainment program
The staff were one of the highlights of my stay—professional, friendly, and always willing to help with any request. Their positive attitude really made a difference and added a personal touch to the experience
The hotel facilities were also very good, and everything worked as expected. Whether it was the common areas, dining options, or overall ambiance, everything contributed to a pleasant and stress-free stay
The spa was spotless clean and the breakfast full with choices. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, good service, and a welcoming atmosphere
Loved the hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient and speak a variety of international languages. Breakfast room was a bit chaotic and not very exciting. Over all a great holiday place
I recently stayed at Adriatic Resort for three days, and I had a genuinely great experience from start to finish. The entire stay was smooth, comfortable, and very enjoyable
It has many outdoor pools and Jacuzzi plus an indoor spa and gym and there are some nice walks around the coastline plus a small private beach with views across to Italy and Slovenia
Nice hotel at the beachfront and lovely greenery around it. The premium rooms are nice and big, with good beds and clean bathroom. The food for breakfast and dinner was delicious and various
(I trawed in 2023) i was at the top flor and couse of kichen the ac was laud in a midle of the night even if was shut down. Hotel is nice the rooms are cosy.... Recomwnd but not top flor
The view from the hotel is absolutely incredible. Whether you’re relaxing on the terrace or enjoying a drink at the café, the sea scenery is just breathtaking. It really adds something special to the whole experience
The rooms were modern, spotless, and extremely comfortable, exceeding all expectations. What truly made my experience exceptional was the staff — incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile
Every detail was taken care of with genuine care and professionalism. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a flawless stay. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The indoor swimming pool was nice, but quite crowded during spring break, the indoor air temperature was 40

We had our e-bikers group with 28 people in total one night in the hotel and it was absolutely wonderful! Large, comfortable rooms with perfect views, kind and helpful staff, had the chance to watch the UEFA Inter - Barcelona in the lounge
Beautifull, comfortable and a great qualty rooms! Real nautical style 10/10. Excellent location, excellent service! We do travel a lot but a deal like this we have never seen (value/qualty)
We especially loved the tiled swimming pool, the Finnish Sauna, the Steam Sauna (aka Turkish Bath), and Emotional Shower. Jacuzzi was also nice, but keep in mind that it’s only set to between 32 and 36 Celsius
We are definitely coming back!
It would have been nice if the pool area and SPA & Wellness had hours when it is child-free!
As for the rooms, the carpet is the only thing that is worn and lowers the impression
Parking is included! We decided to stay 3 nights and we don't regret it! The port of Novigrad is within walking distance and so are swimming opportunities in the sea! Highly recommended!
However, I have some feedback for the hotel management
Nice hotel, excellent view, beautiful pool. Wish pool hours were a little longer. Close and walkable to old town of the city.
Beautiful hotel on magnificent property with fantastic views. They delivered sparkling wine and a delicious cake for my wife’s birthday without me asking! Very nice touch. I thought it was a great value!
Excellent location, excellent conditions, excellent beach, level of cleanliness, impeccable service, prices are much higher for the average citizen, because for 6 days only for sun loungers on your beach you need to set between 450-900e, but all this justifies the quality service and excellent nature, the water is warm even now in June
The service was outstanding especially at breakfast. The food was amazing at all of the restaurants and the front desk was professional and efficient. I will definitely come back.
We had an exceptional experience starting with staff upon are arrival. Without hesitation we will return again. The location is spot on with all the amenities one could ask for.

An unforgettable stay that we would like to repeat, as we were only passing through for one night. The location, the service and the opportunity to use the extensive spa facilities of the neighboring hotel were top notch
