Nice hotel, the main picture is a bit 'enhanced' when it comes to water clarity and the glorious deep blue - water is still clear and nice, but you cannot really go for a swim in front of villas, it's too rocky. We tried 3 restaurants - O Grill was good (the waiters might put more smile on their faces :), Laguna simple pizza place, was good. But Stella Maris all you can eat buffet, opened only for b-fast and dinner was a nightmare. We tried dinner there once - crowds of people, line-ups, screaming, running kids, no, thank you. Price was 105 kuna per person. Suggestion - instead of hours only 7-9pm, open like 5:30 pm to lessen the hordes of people! There were 2 sand beaches, couple with man-made entrance into the sea by ladders. We experienced some small cute jelly fish floating around in the mornings (non stinging!). The indoor pool, on top of numerous outdoor, was a definite plus. Our teenagers rented bikes and jet ski once as well. We went to Umag on a local little train that runs every 15 mins (20 kuna per person/ride). Overall really nice - and as I said, some staff could be more pleasant. One young man who drove us on the electrical car to our van remarked - "It's the older people who survived the war, they don't have much smile on their faces. Us, younger people, we have no problem." Thank you, young man, for being honest!

Roomy villas by the sea

Nicely laid out villa in large wooded complex which are spaced out as not to look over each other. The rooms were a nice size for 2 people 4 would be a bit cramped. The bathroom and kitchen had everything you need, fresh towels and cleaning services everyday.

Croatian Paradise

Fantastic place to stay...we had a 2 bed and 2 bathroom villa for a teenage family of 4 and this suited us perfectly...small kitchenette which we used for breakfast but enough restaurants on the resort as well as a grocery store for everyday purchases...like is like an upmarket CentrParcs based in Croatia except you are right near the sea with loads of water activities...we hired a boat, went jet skiing and some scuba-diving...there is even a little train that takes you to Umag where there are tons of places to eat...terrific place to stay...villas were cleaned everyday, with a nice veranda to sit and enjoy dinners...there was even a stone baked takeaway pizza place where you could order pizzas and sit on your veranda with wine to enjoy the evening dinners...Ice cream parlour brilliant, weather brilliant and staff brilliant...cant complain at all...highly recommended... sunsets amazing

End of season but still nice

Generally a nice place to stay with small self contained apartments. It was right at the end of their season so many things closed, and the indoor pool was barely heated and too cold to make good use of. But good value, very peaceful location and stay. The local town is nearby which has plenty of restaurants and nice to look around but also limited due to end of season.

Overall a very nice resort.

We liked the resort very much. Staff very friendly and responded quickly to a couple of things that we reported needed attention. We would go again.

We came during off-peak season (late september) so there was not a big crowd there which was nice as it was very quiet and peaceful. However, many activities and business were either closed down or operated at shorter hours due to the end vacation season but the location was beautiful and the accomodation was very nice, comfortable, clean and private! Cookwares provided were in excellent condition. Overall, we loved it!

Wir kommen schon seit Jahren hier einmal im Jahr hier her. Nur leider hat nun die Qualität sehr nachgelassen. In der ganzen Villa hat es nach Kanal gerochen - konnte man kaum aushalten. Es hat auch geregnet und das Haus war nicht dicht. Es hat hereingeregnet. Der Geschirrspüler war auch kaputt. Seit letztem Jahr haben sie einen neuen Supermarkt am Gelände der unglaublich teuer ist. Generell noch immer eine schöne Anlage nur die Qualität lässt nach.

Tolle Lage direkt am Meer mit umfangreichen Freizeitoptionen, Restaurant Al Mare super, sehr freundliches Personal und gute Auswahl, Kaffee allerdings gewöhnungsbedürftig. Negativ: Bäder haben nach Regenphase stark aus den Abflüssen gerochen, was sehr störend war in Anbetracht der hochpreisigen Unterkunftskosten, trotz Mitteilung an die Rezeption keine Abhilfe und auch kein sonstiges Entgegenkommen, zudem keine wirkliche Zimmerreinigung (bis auf Müll- und Handtuchwechsel) und keine Möglichkeit für Selbstreinigung, da weder Besen noch Staubsauger vorhanden waren.

Virkelig dejligt sted med god service

Det var en virkelig dejlig villa vi havde lejet. Der var god plads, sengene var gode og der var de fleste af de faciliteter vi havde brug for. Skulle dog lige skaffe ekstra opvasketabs og karklude så vi kunne vaske op og tørre bordene i køkken og spisebord af. Der var virkelig god service og personalet var meget søde og servicemindet. Der blev gjort rent og redt senge hver dag hvis man ønskede det. De var dog ikke så gode til at fylde op med sæbe og toiletpapir. Især det sidste der måtte vi tage fat i receptionen før vi fik fyldt op. De havde ikke helt styr deres udlejning af badehåndklæder - da vi spurgte til det blev vi sendt frem og tilbage mellem receptionen og pool personalet. Til sidst opgav vi. Der er flere spise muligheder på selve området som er et stort resort, men kvaliteten af maden er lidt blandet. Det kan godt svare sig at tage ind til Umag, da der er flere restauranter og kvaliteten generelt virker til at være lidt bedre.
