Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: some praise the clarity of the sea, but multiple guests cite construction debris and poorly maintained surroundings near the waterfront — cleanliness of outdoor areas is a concern.
Service
6.8
Mixed service sentiment: staff described as friendly and helpful in some reviews, but others report chaotic organization, slow service and reception errors that caused blocked charges.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised: excellent position close to the sea, great panoramic views from bar/restaurant and widely noted as a major highlight of stays.
Room Quality
6
Mixed to negative: at least one guest received a room that did not match the advertised description (very small balcony, no sea view) and had uncomfortable AC placement; others found rooms comfortable and tastefully furnished.
Amenities
8.5
Generally positive: modern property with good pool and ocean water quality and on-site entertainment (live music); however ongoing construction affects some amenity areas.
Value for Money
5.5
Negative sentiment: a guest explicitly states the hotel did not offer good value for money given mismatches between description and delivered room and additional service/organisation issues; one guest noted moderate local prices but overall value perception is weak.
Food and Beverage
6.2
Mixed: several comments about dinner being cold and lacking flavour (buffet only), while breakfast is noted as better; live-music evenings enjoyed by guests.
Overall Experience
8.9
Overall mixed but many memorable positives: excellent location, views, friendly moments and modern facilities balanced against organizational failures, room mismatches and food issues — guests had enjoyable highlights despite problems.

Pros:

Osebje se sicer trudi in je prijazno, ampak organizacija je katastrofa.

Cons:

Osebje leta ko kure brez glave. Brez bilo kaksne organizacije. Na recepciji delajo avše ki pojma nimajo o ničemer. Katastrofa. Neupraviceno so mi zaračunavali in blokirali denar na kartici 2 dni zaporedoma. Zaračunavali so vedno večje zneske. Nepravilnost oz. da gre za pomoto sem takoj prijavil avšam na recepciji. 2 dni se ni rešilo ali spremenilo nič. Po 2 dneh sem problem imel čast predstaviti direktorju in finančni direktorici. V glavnem neupravičeno zadržana sredstva še do danes niso sproščena in jih ne morem koristiti. Gre pa za približno številke ki sem jih plačal za 3 nočitve z zajtrkom in večerjo.

Overall, we do not feel that the hotel offered good value for money. The room did not match the description, the dining
Pros:

We really enjoyed the live music on Saturday evening. The hotel’s location close to the sea was excellent, and the view from the bar and restaurant was beautiful. These were definitely the highlights of our stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the room did not match the description or our expectations. Instead of the advertised terrace with outdoor furniture and a sea view, the room only had a balcony approximately one metre wide, with no space for any furniture what so ever. The only view was of the tops of the trees, and there was no sea view at all. This was very disappointing, as the room we received was significantly different from what had been advertised and what we had paid for. The surroundings by the sea were dirty and poorly maintained. There was construction debris scattered around the area, and even in the sea. The air conditioning at the room was positioned so that it blew cold air directly onto the bed, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. The service was also extremely slow. We actually felt sorry for the staff, as they seemed overwhelmed and had to deal with frustrated guests. It appeared that the issue was not the employees themselves, but rather a lack of resources or organisation. Dinner was only available as a buffet. Unfortunately, the food was cold and lacked flavour, which was disappointing. Breakfast was noticeably better, with a wider selection and better overall quality.

Pros:

Zelo prijazni gospe.in gospod na recepciji. Lokacija je osupljiva, panoramski pogledi neverjetni. Osebje v restavraciji je zelo prijazno, takoj ti priskočijo na pomoč. Sobe so zelo udobne in okusno opremljene. Da o modrini in čistoči morja.sploh ne.govorim. Mestece Novi Vinodolski je ravno prav veliko z bogato kulturno dediščino in živahno. Cene pijače in hrane v hotelu in okolici so zmerne za razliko od Dalmacije, Makarske riviere, kjer smo pred tem.dopustovali.Preživeli smo čudovite.trenutke, vrnili se.bomo.

Not worth the 7.2 rating
Pros:

Giving this a 1 star overall, the bed was horribly thin and hard with the pillows being even thinner. The room was quite dated with no toiletries really offered, they didn't even have hand soap in the room. We ate at the dinner buffet which was also fairly limited for being a "buffet" and I got a terrible case of food poisoning I'm still not sure from what though but I felt the onslaught of the food poisoning before we even got back to our room immediately after. Overall this is not worth the medium high rating it has, the only reason we stayed there is because it was a last minute booking.

Pros:

Haben für 6 Tage ein Apartment gebucht und waren geschockt als wir diese betraten.

Es funktionieren z.b einige Beleuchtungen nicht in dem "Resort" ( Straßenbeleuchtung, Treppenbeleuchtung oder Terrassen Beleuchtung) .

Der Kinderpool war eiskalt, fließen im Pool beschädigt und die "Animation" für die Kinder ist ein Witz. Da ist ein Tisch, Stühle, eine Person die da sitzt und die Kinder mit Farbkasten und Blätter zum ausmalen versorgt.

Die Anlage befindet sich auch an einem Hang und ist nicht angenehm zu laufen. Viele Teile des Hotels nicht fertiggestellt oder gesperrt.
Der überdachte Parkplatz war rappelvoll und kostet nochmal 16€ pro Nacht und ist weit entfernt von den Unterkünften. Wer das nicht bezahlen will hat vielleicht Glück und kann ganz oben an der Einfahrt zum Hotel ein Platz finden und sein Auto
dort abstellen inkl. 10 minuten laufen bis zur Lobby.

Die Lobby & der Hauptpool am Restaurant schaut auf dem ersten Blick gut aus, jedoch war der erste Eindruck nach dem Einchecken schon schlecht.

Wir warteten erfolglos 10 Minuten nachdem der Buggy an uns vorbei gefahren ist mit dem Spruch "one Moment please, i will be back" mit unseren Koffern das wir abgeholt werden und zur Unterkunft gefahren werden und sind zu Fuß hingelaufen. Dort angekommen und die Tür geöffnet kam der Schock.
Die Unterkunft ist extrem veraltet und entspricht garnicht den Bildern im Internet, sondern eher einer Jugendherberge!

Hotel hat keine 4 Sterne verdient und Preis/Leistung passt nicht

Pros:

Voor een week in deze accommodatie verbleven, ontvangst bij de receptie ok, helaas met een gezin en 2 kamers mijlenver uit elkaar gezet, ondanks herhaaldelijke verzoeken. Hadden graag wat meer inleving/ begrip verwacht. Kamers hebben een dubbele airco wat absoluut een grote plus is, helaas losse vloertegels, mieren en een douche die overstroomt.
Algemeen resort is mooi! House keeping is slecht en voorziet niet van de dagelijkse gang van zaken ( schone handdoeken, lege prullenbak, schoonmaak)
Ontbijt s’morgens is prima, zwembaden zijn goed, zee en kiezelstrand zijn prima. Prijzen zijn aan de hoge kant.

Three star hotel at 4 star prices
Pros:

I’ll start with the positives:

This hotel does wow you when you first walk in - there are some lovely 4 star areas such as reception and sky bar, spa centre and pool. The overall resort is large with lots of variety - 4 separate pools and beach area.

Staff were always friendly and helpful.

However…the areas for improvement:

What looks 4 star on the surface is really 3 star when you get down to the details.

Overall condition - Once past the reception area, you see the pools could do with a clean, the gardens need some maintenance, lots of areas were damaged/scruffy/or just in a general state of disrepair which really made the place look scruffy compared to the glistening reception. There’s an amazing gym, but only some of the equipment works.

Accommodation - we stayed in a premium apartment. I would not describe them as premium and certainly not 4 star even though we paid 4 star prices for them. They are basic/functional at best although clean enough. WiFi at the apartments is very sketchy!

The staff were friendly and helpful yes, but there just weren’t enough to give a 4 star experience so service in general was hit and miss - you wait for everything - waited over 30 minutes at check in to get to a desk, waited 15 minutes at the bar for a round of drinks, waited 45 minutes at lunch time to “grab a pizza”. The whole complex eats breakfast in the same main restaurant so we waited every morning for a table and then for food to come out (and then it’s gone again if there are more than 5 people in front of you in there queue - and there’s always a queue). They provide towels at the pool (4 star touch) but again these ran out at some point on the day so we were asked to walk the 10 mins to the spa to get towels (not 4 star experience).

**To note we went for breakfast at 9 which admittedly is probably peak time so of course you’re always recommended to go earlier, but being on holiday, I didn’t want to set an alarm for 7am just to be able to eat breakfast. That’s not what I go on holiday for and not when I’ve paid those prices for a 4 star hotel!

Food - in general, tasty enough, but you’re paying inflated 4 star prices in a 3 star hotel. There’s no where to just grab a sandwich or toasty etc. It’s either overpriced plates at the spa, pizza at the bottom pool or hotel restaurant (we didn’t eat at the main restaurant so can’t review). The kids pool was supposed to have food but on a brief visit the kitchen was closed. You can get ice cream from multiple places but again, when the advertising board gives you a choice of 20 ice creams, only 3 or 4 were only ever available.

In summary, I unfortunately left feeling a bit “ripped off”. I paid for an experience that I certainly didn’t get. I paid for 4 star and I definitely didn’t get that. I probably wouldn’t have half of these complaints if they just advertised it for what it is - a basic 3 star hotel and if they charged us accordingly.

Disappointed
Pros:

We had stayed previously and thoroughly enjoyed all that was offered.This time all the bars and restaurants were closed. The roof top restaurant was a special treat but closed.
The hard plastic lounges at the beach front are so uncomfortable.
The apartment was self catering but no start up kit available and no servicing even after 3 days. A broom would have been a good addition!!!
Overall the walk along the beach front with buzzing restaurants and great food is a major highlight.
Disadvantage was the overall presentation of the complex.

We will return...great vacation.
Pros:

Wonderful place, view is spectacular from sea view apartments, food was great, facilities great. Sea is so close that easy to choose between pools and sea. Staff are very friendly and helpful, we extended one night on the scene, managed to keep us in the same building, so it was painless to change rooms.
