Reviews
The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One of the highlights for us were the playrooms – there are two: one for younger children and one for older kids. Our children absolutely loved them and spent hours playing there.
For the little ones, there are both indoor and outdoor pools, which were perfect for all kinds of weather.
The hotel also offers a wide range of activities for kids, which kept them entertained and happy the whole time.
We can definitely recommend this hotel for families!
What’s absurd and negative is the morning “reservation” of sunbeds by the pool with towels and personal belongings by people who arrived hours after we did — we almost had nowhere to put our things. The hotel does not address this situation and leaves it up to the guests to sort it out themselves.
What’s also unfortunate is the condition of the beach. No one takes care of the service there — it’s pretty much wild and unmanaged. The sunbeds are scattered around and in rather shabby condition. Towels have to be picked up by the pool (they don’t give them out on the beach), and they’re exchanged for a paper card, which I consider nonsense and a burden on guests in the 21st century.
For a room price of nearly €600 per night, the guest receives very minimal service by the pool and none on the beach. That said, the hotel was great, and so was the food. We’re grateful for the one-hour later check-out.
Our stay at Falkensteiner Zadar was disappointing and far from what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel. I had to call the reception at least five times within an hour before anyone answered. After requesting some basic items, it took another hour for them to arrive. Bathrobes for kids were missing, and since no one picked up the phone, I had to go to the reception myself—something that could’ve been avoided if the room was properly prepared based on the reservation.
The hotel charges €13/day for parking, which feels unreasonable given the location on the outskirts and the fact that the garage was only 25% full during pre-season. Ice cream is only served at dinner, and the kindergarten for kids under 3 is free for just 2 hours, staffed by only one person. Despite being half full, the service was slow and inconsistent. I can't imagine the situation when it's at full capacity.
To top it off, they include a €10/day “voluntary” tip by default, which is unacceptable.
On the plus side, the rooms are spacious and the food was mostly good (aside from the beef soup). Still, compared to similar family hotels like Amarin or Lišanj, this one does not justify its high price or 5-star label.
