Fenomenalno iskustvo, ostanite ovakvi, vratićemo se 😀
Pros:

Hotel je nakon renoviranja otvoren par dana priie našeg dolaska. Sve u njemu je potpuno novo. Nalazi se na odličnoj lokaciji, 200m od plaže, 2km od centra Umaga, jako blizu Savudrije, Kopera, Trsta, Novigrada, Poreča. Kompleks je fenomenalan, imate u njemu sve za porodičan odmor: bazeni, ležaljke free za goste hotela na bazenima i plaži, terene za igru, fudbal, košarku, klubove za djecu, game room sa PS5, stoni fudbal, fliper, košarka, stoni tenis i sl. Plaža je sitni pjesak i beton, jako zanimljiva i čarobna pri zalasku sunca. Cijeli kompleks je posvećen gostima. WIFI pokriva cijeli kompleks, imate dovoljno parkinga (2eur/dan). Ugostiteljski dio je super, osoblje ljubazno i nenametljivo. Restoran ima raznovrsnu kuhinju, doručak i večera odlični. U paketu polupansion djeca imaju i ručak. Check out je do 10h ali im je bilo sasvim Ok da izadjemo u 11h😀.
Ukupan utisak je 10/10.

Cons:

Sve je bilo TOP

Összességében remek volt jól éreztük magunkat.
Pros:

Remek környezet, barátságos segítőkész személyzet, tiszta szoba, pár lépés a tengerpart.

Cons:

A medence melletti napágyak indokolatlan foglalásának szabályozásának hiánya. Zsúfolt vacsorák. Ne zavarjanak tábla ellenére a személyzet bejött a szobába.

Dobro za putovanje s djecom
Pros:

Objekt je čist, odlično renoviran, ima plažu u bliži i vrlo dobru lokaciju.

Cons:

Doručak je dosta siromašan ponudom, još uvijek nije kompletno dovršena renovacija, a reklamira se kao da su dostupni npr wellnes i unutarnji bazen, a još nisu.

Preis Leistung passt in diesem Hotel gut. Kommen gerne wieder.
Pros:

beim Essen gibt es eine große Auswahl. Für jeden etwas dabei. Das Zimmer war sehr groß, genauso das Bad.

Cons:

Im Speisesaal ist es sehr laut, durch die vielen Gäste die Platz haben. Aber mit dem muss man in einem Familienhotel rechnen.
