Best Hotels near Dinopark Funtana, Funtana

My boyfriend and I visited here in July 2022, it is by far one of the best holidays we have had. Croatia is a beautiful country and I would definitely recommend to everyone! This hotel is a lovely place to stay, very clean and the staff are always friendly especially at reception and in the pool bar. The rooms are spacious and clean. We had a great balcony with a view of the sea. There is a mini bar in the fridge that is restocked daily and you are provided with a receipt of what you have spent each day for you to pay at reception at the end of your stay. There are two pools next to eachother with plenty of sun beds available, we arrived on our first day at 12pm and were able to get a bed. We never went down earlier than 9:30am to get a bed. The pools are clean, music quietly playing around them and aqua aerobics. The breakfast has a large choice of pastries, pancakes, fruit, cooked food, etc. We didn’t eat in the hotel restaurant in the evening as were out and about in the resort trying the other restaurants and cocktail bars (great location!!) The pool bar is great for lunch. We ate here most days as it is reasonably priced and the service is quick. We didn’t stay in the hotel for the entertainment in the evening but most nights out of the 7 we were there they had entertainment on a big stage on the beach. This was different each time and always a good watch. The best was a fireworks show out on the water! Would 100% return to this hotel in the future.

Looking at the brochure photographs of this idyllic island Hotel, you could be easily seduced. It is a bit rundown in places however, this can be ignored in favour of the beautiful setting and facilities offered. The staff is friendly and will offer a smile in return. The Pools are regularly maintained and there is an abundance of sun loungers all over the pool areas and pebble beaches. The level of cleanliness throughout the hotel lives up to its 4 star rating. The rooms are of a standard hotel layout and provide adequate storage for your clothes. The wardrobes do not have enough space to hang a full length dress and, as the dress code throughout the hotel is casual, you may wish to leave the 'Formal' clothes at home. We had a few issues with the room however , these were quickly resolved. The restaurant could be improved. The meals area sounds more like the works canteen with too many reflective surfaces to bounce the noise around. Table cloths would greatly improve the noise levels and ambience. There is a sort of music played over the many speakers which reaches all areas. Quite frankly, it becomes annoying after a time. The meals are buffet style and varied day to day and cater to all tastes however, I would suggest it is strongly aimed at Non British guests. The 'Canteen' opens at 6.30p.m. and, as there are no table allocations, there is always a mad rush to obtain the best tables. Generally the food is of a good standard and along with free wine and beer on tap, is acceptable. Overall I would recommend this hotel. There are sea views from all rooms to varying degrees. I would recommend going high and take a room facing the other island. Ask to see a layout of the hotel and choose your own room. The ferry to Rovinj is regular and the town is worth a visit. I would definitely go back to Croatia. A country worth a visit.

I had some concerns about this hotel, as we always go to 5-star hotels; but everything turned out to be excellent. We booked a suite with a park view which was quite big, modern and practical with a huge bathroom. There was also a walk-in warderobe. From the balcony we could have a nice view over the pine trees and olive trees. The location is ideal with a nice beachfront and a long pathway around the laguna. As for the breakfast and dinner options, they run a mediterrian cuisine with huge selections of fish, meat, grilled vegetables, pasta dishes. The salad bar and the appetizers are a nice touch. Much to my surprise every single hotel person was very helpful, kind and eager to please us. I'm sure we”ll return. I recommend this hotel for families as well, you can walk along the beachfront after dinner for hours, you don't have to taxi to the center. If you want some busy nightlife you can take a tourist train to Porec, it's good fun for kids.

We stayed here for 11 nights. Upon arrival unfortunately the room was not available but then it was an early flight from Gatwick and we had landed at about 8:30 and got to resort at 9:30am so expected. The appar**ents that we were allocated were in a block just left of reception and down the steps. There was a handy golf buggy that was able to take us plus luggage part of the way then there was about 20 steps to go up. THERE ARE A LOT OF STEPS! so please bear in mind if you have limited mobility. Appar**ent: We had a one bedroom appar**ent. The kitchen has limited facilities: 2 ring hob and microwave, FridgeFreezer and that's it! no toaster no kettle (can get upon request). The room does have a safe and this is payable at €3 per day. The bedroom had a lovely balcony and there was also a balcony off the lounge with lovely views across the forest and towards the sea. The lounge has a large sofa dinning table and a wardrobe so in all you have two wardrobes. Towels are fresh daily but if you are like us and you don't require just leave them in view then you won't be unindated with them. Sheets you get clean sheets delivered every three days again if their not dirty why change. Bins were emptied daily. THERE IS NO CLEANING DONE BY THE CLEANING STAFF UNLESS REQUESTED AT AN EXTRA CHARGE. For us we tend to keep faily tidy so not a problem. There is an aircon unit in the lounge can be a bit noisy. POOL: No need for you to take a pool towel. You are handed a towel card when you check in and this can be exchanged for towels. Pool is freeezing! but fine once your in - its the getting in! The pool depth is from 1m35 to 1m10 so most can stand. There is a childs pool also. Remember you are self catering so you are aloud your own drinks and food etc around the pool. No glass. Resturant: Great food opens around noon. Large beer €4.50 bottle of wine €15 takeaway ice cream cone €2. Large portions, there is limit kids menu varied menu for adults. Supermarket: By reception not a great selection but handy. Supermarket at the bottom of the hill again not a great selection. These are both more expensive than the Spar in Porec Transport: The best way to get to Porec is via the tourist train. This can be picked up at the bottom of the hill by the Lito supermarket. It was €4 per person each way there is a time table in reception (take a photo). It can get a bit busy. The train also goes to the Zelena Resort definately worth a visit- lots of resturants and little coves for swimming and a few shops. Bikes can be rented from various points but can be expensive if you plan doing this each day. You can walk which is lovely through the forest takes about 35-40 minutes. Sea: Remember your watershoes as the sea is only accessible via stoney beaches or via ladders from the land edges. We enjoy'd our time here very peaceful although there is night life at the bottom of the hill and the resturant next to the pool can get quite jolly! Would recommend.

I read the reviews before I came and the negatives are true, the food options are very repetitive, with lunch/dinner very similar, with little change throughout the week we were there. What was there was not really to our taste and the local coke or “cola” was pretty horrible. Getting a sun lounger was a challenge unless you saved one pre breakfast and not helped by people holding up to 6 and then not using them all day! What the recent reviews I read didn’t really cover though were the positives. The hotel is clean and the location is great. A very short walk to a beautiful bay and options to walk along the coast. Porec is a cycle ride away (free use of bikes for one trip) or there are boat or train options too. The free sports options are also great for keeping kids interested in sport entertained, There is a fairly large sports setup immediately outside the hotel which can be used free of charge, based on some limits I.e you get either 2 hours free per activity (per week or stay I am not sure) or 2 times 1 hours and that includes a quality Tennis club, and the less quality table tennis, crazy golf, bikes (3 hours), kayaking, pedalos, squash, bocce. It’s also within walking distance to a good waterpark and a good location for day trips to Venice or Pula. We didn’t see much of the entertainment, but there was a good Beatles tribute band one night followed by fireworks while we were there. When I booked the hotel it was one of the cheaper option and overall it worked really well for us. I would recommend the hotel, however, would warn people to have low expectations on the food front in particular.

Снимади двухкомнатный номер сьют для семьи с двумя детьми в авгусе в разгар сезона. Отель 3*, но несомненно стоит своих денег, по уровню сервиса лучше многих четверок. Особености: 1) Очень маленькие номера (размеры как в отелях Гонг-конга или старых зданиях европейских городов). Вдвоем в номере перемещаться будет тесновато, чемодан полноценно раскрыть можно только на балконе. 2) Бесплатных лежаков не хватает на всех, поэтому занимать удобные места надо с вечера или рано утром. 3) Персонал в баре у бассейна иногда хитрит, работая без чеков или продавая напитки по цене выше, чем в меню. Плюсы: 1) Чисто и ухожено все, включая номера, общие зоны и территорию вокруг отеля. Номер убирали каждый день. 2) Большой собственный бассейн, достаточно много лежаков вокруг него, также вокруг есть своя зеленая зона на траве с лежаками под зонтами или в тени сосен и кипарисов. 3) Неплохой ресторан-столовая с напитками, включенными в стоимость завтраков и ужинов. За 2 недели отдыха надоесть не успел, блюда на ужине меняются каждый вечер, по четвергам день местной кухни. 4) Детей бесплатно кормят обедами. Для семей с детьми это просто спасение. 5) Множество бесплатных развлечений в течение всего дня, начиная от аквагимнастики йоги и волейбола и заканчивая дискотекой для детей и шоу для взрослых по вечерам. Ксждый найдет что-то свое. 6) Хороший пляж в 1 минуте хотьбы от отеля. Нет необходимости платить за лежаки на пляже - можно оставлять вещи на лежаках у бассейна и ходить купаться в море.

Lovely boutique hotel right on the water. If we come back to Novigrad, we will definitely return here. The staff is very professional, courteous, polite, and helpful. Suite has – private elevator to room from lobby; sauna (which we did not use); living room with sliding glass door to deck with frig; bathroom with (very tight fit shower) and door to deck; large bedroom with shelving, safe, and sliding glass door to deck; full length of suite deck with hot tub, sunbeds, and table overlooking west view of sea. Lovely turquoise blue and white color scheme; very clean. The bed had German style individual duvets. The shower is half of the tub with a movable partial glass “door” over the tub that makes for a very tight squeeze, with a sloped tub floor down to the drain on the opposite side of the tub; the tub floor is very slippery. The water pressure is not good and the shower is hard to use.The air conditioning works very well. There is not an assigned parking space; we had to park in a very tight fit at the marina about a ten minute walk away but the car was safe. The hot tub on the deck is marvelous at sunset. Check it when you first arrive – the lid was off and the water was very cold (because the lid was off, which the hotel person did not seem to understand), so we closed it up and turned the temperature up so we could use it the next day. The breakfast is buffet, with a small selection. There is not much of anything that is healthy (low calorie / low fat) other than the cherry tomatoes used as garnish on other offerings. Fruit is “whole”, not cut up or sliced. Bread is pretty stale (sliced, not rolls). The outdoor terrace is wonderful – across the pedestrian path and in a covered glass building right on the water. The a la carte omelettes are very good. The hotel is right on the pedestrian path along the water, with a cement slab below the glass dining pavilion. The sunbeds cost 18 euros per person even for hotel guests, which does not seem appropriate given the expense of the rooms to stay there; they should be free for hotel guests. Restaurants close early! We had trouble finding restaurants open and serving food after 9 pm. There is a grocery store a few blocks away.
