This hotel was in a fantastic setting. We were really pleased to experience a quiet, adult only atmosphere in a location where it was just a short and easy trip to Pula Town and there were other useful facilities close by. All the staff were absolutely fantastic, helpful and polite. We were disappointed however at the lack of facilities. Specifically the lack of outdoor seating and bar area and facilities you might want by the pool such as easy access to affordable drinks and snacks which you might expect somebody to want during a day by the pool. We know the hotel has both these things but they weren't open and this was disappointing and meant we had to walk elsewhere to get things and so only ended up spending half a day by the pool.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The balcony was clean but absolutely no view when you were sat down as the walls were all solid concrete so it was like sitting I. A hole
View over the top of the wall was good but there is a stone quarry opposite maki g it impossible to sit outside from 830am - 5pm
Tiny pool. But you could t sit there because of the noise from the stone quarry

This hotel is nicely situated right near the boat port and overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The exterior and interior of the hotel is very modern but does not go overboard. The rooms are well designed and the on suite is a wow factor! The balcony overlooks the waters and furnishings were perfect. The breakfast buffet did not have many selections given the capacity the resort could house. We understood that and did not have any complaints about that. The amenities were perfect with a pool and massage service if scheduled in advance. We did not look at all the other amenities since we were focused on the Pula Colosseum and visiting the city of Rovinj that was approximately 30 minutes away via the freeway/toll road. The front desk was very helpful and English was used without any issues. The only downside was in our room was one roll of toilet paper and no extra roll anywhere. I had to ask the front desk to supply us with one. Overall, we would come here again if we visit Pula in the future.

The hotel staff were very kind and the friendly cats outside were adorable. Unfortunately, the beds, though twin size, were difficult to sleep on. Also there was an annoying vibration coming though the wall all night long. The bathroom floor had hair on it from a previous guest. There was also clearly no “quiet time” rule as certain guests were outside at 6 am yelling and talking, slamming the doors and clearly not caring how they affected other guests. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The breakfast was nice, but a little basic. One morning were offered eggs of a varying kind and then the next day nothing.

Nice area, excellent service.
We stayed at this small resort hotel for two nights during a family trip to Croatia. It's located at a beautiful area, overlooking the marina and next to a pine-tree forest. Rooms were clean and modern. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very friendly and professional. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely apartment, very spacious, clean, good facilities. Even washing up liquid, toilet roll, tea towels etc. Balcony nice but a shame that it was enclosed - would have preferred glass walls so surrounding areas could be seen. Pool good if a little small. Beach about a 15 minute walk and busy. Supermarket 15 minute walk. Town centre within driving distance (5 minutes). Breakfast included and plentiful (hot and cold selection ), even included sparkling wine! Washing done for a small charge.

The property features and amenities weren’t as described via Expedia. There was no wellness or spa facilities which has been displayed on Expedia and where shown in pictures. The poolside was out of use. The beds weren’t displayed as on images the the poolside bar wasn’t in use. I know it wasn’t in season but it looked nothing like I expected. The bar and reception closes far to early and the nearest shop is miles away.

The room was clean and modern. Breakfast was very good with a good range of hot and cold meats, cereals and fruit. The pool was in a nice sunny spot overlooking the harbour. When we were there, there were very few people around the pool. Very friendly and helpful staff and the young lady on the deck was very kind enough to offer to drive my wife to the doctors. The resort is about 3.7Km from the centre of town, but it is an easy walk, or the bus stops right outside, which is easier than driving and finding a parking place. We hired the bikes and had a lovely afternoon riding to Premantura.

The hotel bar and restaurant looked incredible set overlooking the marina . I booked a junior suite room with very modern furnishing and amazing wooden terrace all very new stylist and modern furnishing. A treat to my family for our last night in Croatia. Only to be told at check in this room wasn’t available. ( problem with the pipes). They said they had upgraded me for free. However the upgrade was not entirely true I was given a two bed apartment which was nothing like the modern suite. . I checked and This was listed as cheaper on the internet so I complained and the reception spoke to their general manager and offered me and my family a free dining experience at their luxury restaurant. The meal was lovely but I was owe that meal because of the price difference but at least they offered. However I have found with most hotel experiences these day you have a opportunity to pick the style of room when booking but never seem to end up with the room I pick?? I no longer use bookings .com for this reason and was hoping my Expedia experience would be better.

Excellent location
The resort was well equipped with a great restaurant and bar with great views along the estuary, although about 2.5 kilometres from Pula town centre there is a reliable bus service just outside the resort. The rooms were clean and spacious although there were a couple of bits that had fell into disrepair which did not spoil the experience. The only downside was the noise from a party in the bar one night which went on to around 2am, we were right next door and it felt like we were in the party

Nice hotel but room wasn’t ready
We were quite disappointed with our stay, when we arrived we were allowed an early check in which was great. We got to the room and were told we were the first people to be staying in the newly renovated room. Our first impressions were great but looking a little closer things weren’t so good. There were 2 beautiful large balconies which both had no furniture on them so we could not enjoy them or the wonderful view. The ‘free wifi’ wasn’t set up, even after reporting it to reception the problem did not get resolved. Nothing was plugged in, the tv, the phone, the lamps... it was as if it hadn’t been finished. The shower was great but the water didn’t drain properly so it leaked into the living area and my 5 year old daughter slipped, fortunately she wasn’t injured. The staff by the pool seemed quite clueless, after trying to order a couple of drinks we were told we had to go to the restaurant to order them which we found odd as there were drinks available in the fridge at the pool. I did let the staff know about this when checking out but i have heard nothing, very disappointing as it was very expensive and we wanted a bit of luxury for our final night in Croatia but we were left quite dissatisfied.
