Hotels With Airport pickup service in Istria County, Croatia

I stayed in this hotel for one night in May 2023. Inside, the hotel looks nice and rooms are quite cozy. There is a large bed and given that I was traveling for business it was important for me to have a big working table. Bathroom was very clean and they have Elemis cosmetics which surprised me - very nice! I rated it four stars only due to the fact that from the outside the hotel looks a bit old and access to the hotel is not very nice to me. It has its own beach and is very well located for calm morning walks. Staff was very polite.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with oversized balconies. The hotel has a variety of facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, gyms, SPA, etc., while looking at the sea and the forest, it is actually very suitable for a few days on vacation. We left for one night after visiting Rovinj and it was a pity

We are staying here at the moment having stayed at a great hotel the other side of porec multiple times (Park Resort) and the hotel in itself is not shabby or run down and has decent facilities, but is not really for people with young families. We were given a room which looks like it has come straight from the 80’s with us huge solid wood cupboards and furniture. There could be so much more space if they simply removed this and put some cheap modern furniture in like the ones in the pictures! Needless to say our room looks nothing like the pictures! You also have to pay for a fridge in this hotel too which is another €50 and is not exactly the coldest or most powerful. I asked at reception having known this from other reviews and it’s been added to my bill even though when I got there I think there was already a fridge in there and one next door where my son and mother in law are staying- they haven’t added a fridge but theirs barely works! When I said the fridge was already in there so why should I have to pay I was told that they managed to put it in the room within the minute I walked from reception to room- yeah I doubt that! Sofa bed after spending 20 min removing 10 tonne 1980 cushions and throws and dodging the huge wooden furniture is very uncomfortable. Nowhere to really store suitcases or put buggy The hotel is quite possibly the most inaccessible hotel I have ever stayed in: - there are steps EVERYWHERE and 3 tiny lifts that only go from certain level. - steps by the pool, steps to get to the lift, steps to the restaurant, steps to the bar, steps to all the other bathing and pool areasj - most of the steps are just too wide that you can’t even gradually ease the buggy up so you ok literally have to carry it all the time! - all pool areas have small amount of sun beds which by 11am are all taken and before midday the here are literally no loungers AT ALL - yet most of them are empty for hours at a time if not the whole day - there is only one route down to the sea front and to all the different pools and it’s like a rabbit warren with no simple gates or openings to allow you to move freely between the different spaces. - for example if no sun loungers and want to sit on hammocks or grass, you have to walk all the way round because there are glass divides all around except a single entrance, and you guessed it- more steps!ii There was a stuff around this hotel but not loads and everything is at least a few minute walk. The ‘mini shop’ is pathetic and has no food or drinks really and just full of ‘tat’ and it opens at random times- best off walking a bit to a half decent market. There are a few nice little pebble coves but the sea was horrible with some dirty looking film on it or something right where you would expect to take the kids in normally. Having visited another plava Laguna I wouldn’t stay here again as most of the staff are pretty miserable too compared to the normal people we have come across in previous visits to

Dinner is good, breakfast is good, the room is clean enough, the beach behind the hotel is very comfortable, the main town of Rovinj is too beautiful, you can consider staying here for two consecutive nights, the parking is free, you need to walk for 5 minutes, suitable for children, floor The pool and the outdoor pool are very good, it is recommended to go

Seeing such beautiful scenery at the hotel every day is worth the fare. You can also watch the sunset. The hotel service is very good, and the hardware is very good. The breakfast is very good. I came in the off-season. The price/performance ratio is super high

I would give this a ”very good” for the property as it was nice and nicer than I expected. The room was equipped with a kitchenette and a really nice big balcony. I was there out of season so couldn't fully appreciate the balcony, but it was a nice outdoor space. What wasn't so good was the check-in process. I booked through **********, and on none of the communications was the name of the rental people (I forget their name now but it began with an A). I duly communicated or tried to communicate through ********** as requested. I explained that I was driving from Zagreb and would let them know when I landed so they knew when to expect me. At that point they made me aware that I would need to go to the office of the rental agency and then be taken to the property. It was dark by the time I arrived and the gateway was right off a main road onto a one way street, having been in the country 4 hours on my own in a hire car, this was not helpful. They didn't respond to the messages through ********** but had at no point given me their direct details which would have helped greatly. Eventually I had to phone a Croation phone number from my English phone (don't know what that's cost me) to be quite rudely asked ”where you are you then ? Did you not follow the instructions”. Which, yes I had, I just didn't know if I was in the right place or not. The chap was out delivering another couple to thir property and he told me to wait and he would come back for me. Which he duly did. I left the car at their office that first night as the parking was unclear. However the next day I was able to park near the property, so that was good. They would have come and got me again on checkout day if my car was at theirs. This did negatively impact my initial first impressions - when I said that if I had been given a bit more info it would have been fine and the chap said I should have googled it ?? But googled what ? The process works, but it would be so much better if everyone knew what was happening. I was then given their watsapp number, which is their phone number, but again, you only know that if you know ! THat made it much easier and I was able to message as I checked out. So, the property was nice, its a great location. I don't want to sound negative, but things need to be clearer - especially when using third party platforms.

Why this hotel has 5 stars again? Very disappointed at our arrival, the hotel is far from being modernised. All around there are old red carpets with some (i hope) coffee stains or something like that which 5 stars hotel should not have! The furniture in the room is outdated, especially bathroom (the picture is very different than on booking site). There is no lotion which 3 stars hotel have. The balcony was dirty with leaves and cobwebs. Our bed was 2 single beds connected into one and it was really unfortable sleeping on this (even thought the side said the opposite). Also the minibar or fridge is empty and the tv is probably a little bit bigger than my laptop. After a long day and bad weather me and my partner decided to go to the spa/pool. What a scam! The pool was full with people and children jumping around and only 5 beds to relax or even put your coat on? the pool is soo small that i dont know maybe max. 10 people can move in it? We dont want to be squeezed in (Also there is no jacuzzi? )so we decided to go to the spa. Here comes the bigger scam. We asked a lady if we can go in the spa and she said that all places for the spa are already taken and the next free place is next day after 10am (time for check out). We cannot use the spa (or a pool) becuase we had the checkout the next day. They have a rule that in the spa you can only be for one hour but on not really my suprise people stayed there for 3h+ because ofcourse noboday would kicked them out. Anyway I dont even know why we book that hotel were we cannot go in the pool our use spa. SCAM. Not to mention that the hotel has 400* rooms so the logic behind the size of the pool in really poor. The biggest scam of our mini stay was food. We chose 4 or more stars hotel especially beacuse of the food. The food was DISGUSTING. There are no mini boards with name of the dish so you dont really know what the hell you are eating. The food was belowe the avrage in terms of quality. Also the food dissapeared so fast beacuse of football teenage players (there were 2 teams or) and imaginate that you SHOULD WAIT MORE THAN 30min IN THE 5 stars hotel to make (they didnt even made it btw) a dish that is missing and promised. Really small choice of food left (we came early on the dinner just beacuse of that) Anyway I wanted to eat the chicken breast salami (idk if it was a turkey because there is no label to know what the f*** is this meat) and when I looked at it it was yellow (i dont even wanna know how old was this salami). The fruit was so old that kiwi was dry and some of bananas were brown/black. For dessert you can only have 3 options and one of them is the old friut in the glass (again why is this 5 stars hotel???) Also the tables and chairs around us was so outdated and tables were not cleans (full of crumbs ew). The breakfast is nothing special, they dont have 1,5% milk or lower (there are no labels again). Also for the omellete you should wait around 15 minutes because there is just one guy

Third time at this hotel and we still LOVE it!!! It's designed for young families, to perfection. It's not cheap, but what you get are gorgeous rooms, top class service, amazing food (not repetitive, even over 2 weeks). And a kids club that is out of thir world. It's like all the fun bits of school in a safe and secure environment with highly qualified staff. We caught the road train into the town, which is also beautiful. We also did a few other activities, olive oli tasting at Cadenela and the medieval theme park, both amazing. The camp site next door has had a LOT of investment and more to come that looks very exciting. Even on a rainy day, which we had a couple in 2 weeks, there is still plenty to do. Indoor swimming is big enough to accommodate everyone. The staff and can't do enough for you, they really make this place special.

A lovely space, but you can see that they're still growing into their rhythm. We arrived just after 6pm, so the 2 night managers was already on duty. The lady helping us check-in was not confident in the process yet, and continuously asked her colleague about steps she was taking - which made check-in quite long. However, they both were helpful and professionally friendly. The room we received was absolutely great. It's a whole apartment, with a kitchenette and even a washing machine included - which was superb to travel further after our stay with a fresh set of clothes. There is also the option for the resort to do your washing for you, should you wish. The AC is sleekly built into the walls for a nice, modern finish - and a cool room in the Croatian / Slovenian summer heat. Breakfast is amazing - a wide variety of choice between different seasonal fruits, the 'European Standard' of mueslis, yoghurts, breads, and cheeses, along with other 'experimentally healthy' things like chia puddings. There's even desserts at the breakfast buffet, like freshly baked cakes. And they have vegan mylks available - both freely on the buffet, as well as on request for coffee orders. Lunches and dinners are a bit more limited. The Rooftop Restaurant only opens for lunch at 14:00. There is the option to have sushi or pizza at the ground floor pool restaurant from 12:00, but this is a very limited menu. The food itself was good, though, and the restaurant staff friendly. The Resort has a shuttle from the hotel itself to their semi-private beach area. However, it's a quite short walk of about 200m, if you don't want to wait for a shuttle. There is another restaurant / club area at the beach for drinks and food. TIP: When using the public facilities, eg. the infinity pool / gym areas, do so in the morning. During the afternoon, the pool area(s) is packed with no sunbeds or space left. When settling on a sunbed, the staff comes by and offers swimming towels to the guests.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with oversized balconies.

Highly recommended! Will definitely stay here again! -Extremely clean and neat; quiet, small boutique hotel -Helpful and kind staff -Delicious morning breakfast; homemade items each day! -Plenty of free and secure parking -Large umbrellas available for occasional rain storms -Close to neighborhood bar, grocery store, and local restaurant. -Walkable to the old town of Rovinj -Easy access to main roads to travel around the area to various vineyards and medieval towns. A huge thank you to Maria at reception! She is amazingly personable and makes wonderful recommendations throughout the Istria area. Also many thanks to the ladies who prepared and served during breakfast—-very gentile!

Very good hotel, only a few rooms, very design, very beautiful. Going out for a minute and going to the beautiful bay, this is a great place to watch the sunset. The rooms are fully equipped, but the electric kettle and toothpaste toothbrush need to be provided. The breakfast variety of the hotel is not so delicious, but the taste is very good. The hotel service was in place, the room was cleaned up in time, the hotel owner met us with a warm handshake and asked about the feeling of staying. When we arrived and left the hotel, the waiter sent us to the bus station with a battery car. Every service link can be professionalized. In addition, free travel requires basic oral English communication skills, which is very important.

We went to spend the day on Katarina and chose to have lunch in the restaurant by the sea. The food was excellent: gorgeous prawn cesar salad and prawns with pasta. The service by Benjamin was fantastic. A great lunch in a beautiful location. Thank you Benjamin for your help.

We have been going to hotel Molindrio for 10 years with my parents and sister and are club members. Every year has been a great experience but that all changed this year. From the beginning the reception has told us every year that we are free to use the beach at hotel Parentium and we are also able to use the white chairs to lie down. We have been doing this ever since. This year we were approached by life guards at the beach asking us why we were using the white chairs if we are not guests of hotel Parentium, because this was not allowed. We explained that we have been doing this for years and had been told by the reception that this was not a problem because we were guests at the sister hotel Molindrio. When we made the reception aware of this altercation with the life guards they first claimed that these chairs were never offerd to us by the reception and that we were lucky that we had not been caught earlier for using these chairs ( which made us feel absolutely horrible, we just did what the reception has told us for years that we could do ), after we explained that we are not lying and have been guest for 10 years and have always been using these chairs they switched up the story and told us that there is a new management and there are new rules so we cannot use these chairs at the beach anymore ( so now we are not liars but the new director has given these orders, reception could have just told us this from the start instead of making us look like liars ). So we had to lie down on the concrete. My dad has a bad back and instead if a relaxing vacation his back got even worse from lying on the hard concrete with just a towel. Absolutely disgraceful! Furthermore the food this year was of very poor quality. The fruit they served was either rotten or without taste, which left us really feeling disappointed especially because we have been coming here for years and have always been so satisfied with the food. Needless to say we will not be coming back anymore after being treated this way. We are very disappointed.

My sister got married in Croatia last August and myself and my family and many of the other wedding guests stayed in this hotel. We had an amazing time here!! The views were great, the food was great but the highlight of my stay had to do with the ever so friendly staff. To name a few, in the dinning area, Emilio, Alexandra, their colleague from Bosnia I forgot his name. Jovana and from front desk, Maria helped me a lot with organising appointments and so on. And the night time front desk staff, I believe he's from Serbia, he was very friendly and helpful too. I wish to see them all next time I visit. I regret that I am leaving this review a year late but I have not forgotten all the lovely smiles and the great service in the 9 days I stayed at your hotel. Hope you are all doing well!!! :) Lisa

My husband and I booked the hotel as a last minute cheap deal and on first impressions we were impressed. The hotel is in a nice setting with well tended gardens and a short walk to the seafront promenade, great if you want to lie around the pool all week but we found it too cut off. There are no local buses in the area at all and the small tourist train was 1km away and had very restricted times being early season. A taxi into porec was £20 each way. Hotel food was typical for a large tourist hotel and we always found something to eat. The bedrooms however are extremely small and very basic no storage cupboards or drawers for anything at all.the bathrooms are so small the shower door wouldn't open fully as banged into the toilet and the bathroom door couldn't open fully due to the towel rail behind it. You get bigger bathrooms on cruise ships ! The main down side was the constant stream of tourist coaches which used the hotel on a daily basis ( 8 full coaches on one particular day )which left the hotel more like a travel lodge motel and not like a relaxing away from it all holiday break. In all an OK hotel for the money we paid but not somewhere we would return to unless in a coach party.

A few people complain about the rooms/showers being small. I had an economy room with french bed, park side for single use. I was actually quite pleased with it and thought there was plenty of room. No balcony but I knew that when booking. I thought the food in the evening buffet was exceptional with lots of choice and the added bonus of soft drinks, wine and beer. The breakfast offering was fine but could have been improved by having some of the fresh fruit that was available in the evening buffet. The decor in the hotel is perfectly acceptable and the swimming pool was fine. Not a lot of sunbeds for the size of the hotel but I never struggled to get one mid afternoon. Loved the location, it is about an hours walk around the bay and through pine trees to get to Porec with fantastic views all the way round. If you don’t want to walk both ways (or either way) there is a small land train that costs €4 each way. I paid around €60 per night half board in the second week in June which I thought was very good value for a single traveller. Don’t bother with packages, get yourself a cheap Ryanair flight into Pula, hire a car and book a hotel directly on the Plava Laguna website. I stayed a few nights in Umag and then drove down the coast to Zelena Laguna to spend the last few nights at the Plavi.

It is a beautiful location overlooking the sea. The rooms and bathroom are spacious with a sitting area. Beds are good. It was very clean and quiet. No noise and loud music or rowdy crowd. Delicious. If you like a DJ you can walk to one of the other hotels. These are on the same site. We had breakfast and dinner. That was a lot of choice and really tasty. We will definitely go back to this hotel.

I stayed in this hotel for one night in May 2023. Inside, the hotel looks nice and rooms are quite cozy. There is a large bed and given that I was traveling for business it was important for me to have a big working table. Bathroom was very clean and they have Elemis cosmetics which surprised me - very nice! I rated it four stars only due to the fact that from the outside the hotel looks a bit old and access to the hotel is not very nice to me. It has its own beach and is very well located for calm morning walks. Staff was very polite.

The stay at Pula City Center Acommodation was good provided a few shortcomings. This was not the way the WiFi worked and the roller lock was not closed completely, fortunately it did not work so much. We booked a superior room and this was quite compact, certainly the bathroom. This is according to the standards, but it does not happen immediately. The receptionist was friendly and asked if everything was okay after breakfast. This was certainly in order and there was enough variation. The free parking is conveniently located a few meters away, and when we arrived, they asked to load everything and check in first, and then we could remove the car. This was good intention but it was uncomfortable to leave the car in the middle of a city centre with 4 pink on the street. I would recommend Pula City Center for a shorter stay. The hotel is located at 10-15 min walk from the centre.

From the minute we arrived Dever (hotel owner) was so helpful. He not only carried our bags to our room but as we were late arriving he also arranged for us to stay in the bar opposite for as long as we needed. The room we had was on the top floor. It was in excellent condition and had a superb bathroom with huge bathtub.

We enjoyed our recent stay at Ribarska Koliba Resort. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly - and we were upgraded to a room with a terrace, without being asked. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom had great water pressure (which we always appreciate). Unlike some other people have mentioned, there was coffee and tea in the room and a safe with a combination lock. Breakfast was served promptly and was very nice - cold options plus cooked eggs if we wanted. We were there during off season and weren't interested in the pool. The only downsides were there was no food at the upstairs lounge, only drinks and the window in our bathroom opened on to the next door room's verandah - so they could look right in if we opened it. There was no view from our terrace - just the back of the building in front - and, because we had the corner room, people walking down the driveway could look right in at our terrace.
