"Great stay, lovely hotel, and loved to spa facilities. Air con stopped working for a short period and staff were willing to move me to a cooler room. Definitely worth the stay."
"The hotel is in a fabulous location. The staff are lovely, in fact everyone in Porec was super friendly. We stayed two night which was perfect. The room was small and we would recommend upgrading if you have any mobility issues. "
"We had a fantastic stay and honestly felt that the resort exceeded our expectations.
We stayed in one of the villas rather than the main hotel and traveled with our two young daughters. We drove from Budapest and found the entire arrival process very easy. We parked in the designated parking area, took the short ferry ride across, and the staff brought our luggage directly to our room.
The villa was excellent. The air conditioning kept the room nice and cool, the water pressure was great,...
"Use of sister hotel facilities during the day was great. Location was perfect for the evening. Staff were amazing - so helpful and friendly, especially towards our young girl."
