Bof, il faut aimer ce genre d'hôtel

Gros complexe, où tout est payant : boissons hors de prix, transats sur la plage alors que la plage "appartient" à l'hötel. Buffet correct, mais sans plus. Le parking est très petit, donc les clients finissent par se garer n'importe où, en désespoir de cause. Nous nous sommes donc garés dans la pinède et nous avons dû payer pour ça ! L'accueil est désagréable. La chambre était par contre agréable et le balcon sur le jardin très bien

I can't comment on the hotel itself because I didn't get to stay there. I showed up at this hotel after another Valamar property in the center of town didn't have the room available that I booked. Hotels.com rebooked me here. When I arrived, the front desk told me they didn't know why hotels.com booked me there as they only had a room for 1 night, not 2. The suggestion was to just see if they could put me somewhere else in the morning. I had them move me to yet a 3rd Valamar property that could accommodate me for both nights. It was a pretty terrible experience and I won't stay at a Valamar property any time soon.

Hotel in ottima posizione davanti al mare. Si può arrivare in centro paese in 15 min a piedi con una passeggiata illuminata. Numerosi servizi, piscina pineta e ambiente esterno molto pulito ed ordinato considerata la grande area esterna. Servizio molto buono, personale molto attendo e gentile.

Solskin med skyer

Udmærket ophold men selve hotellet - værelse med udsigt til P-plads samt halvlunken bufetmad, udrikkelig kaffe og uhøflig/dårlig receptionsbetjening (enkeltperson - alle andre levede fint op til god service) - var ikke rigtig de mange penge værd. Det er til gengæld beliggenheden, som er fremragende i forhold til såvel Adriaterhavet som Porec..

nekoliko mana, parking se naplaćuje a nema mjesta na parkingu već se mora parkirati po šumskim stazama, u restoranu za vrijeme večere uz vino se nemože naručiti voda iz pipe već se za to mora tražiti odobrenje šefa sale ili naručiti preskupu bocu flaširane obične vode, soba (superior) ima samo jednu stolicu dok druga osoba može sjesti samo na krevet što nije praktično kada je gost obučen za izlazak
