Naprostá dokonalost, lepší hotel jsme nezažili.
Pros:

Jedno z nejlepších ubytování, kde jsme kdy byli. Všechno bylo naprosto perfektní - od neuvěřitelně milého a vstřícného personálu, přes čistotu a vybavení pokoje až po skvělou lokalitu a navíc nádherná vůně v celém hotelu. Snídaně výborné. Děkujeme za nádherný pobyt, určitě se vrátíme.

An outstanding stay all around, with exceptional service, a wonderful atmosphere, and a great team!
Pros:

We had a truly wonderful stay at Blu Mare in Novigrad.
Although we were initially quite disappointed to learn upon arrival that Restaurant Porporela was closed — especially as it had been one of the reasons for choosing the hotel — the team handled the situation with great care and professionalism. Their response was thoughtful and proactive, and we genuinely appreciated that they took our feedback seriously.
As a very generous gesture, we were upgraded to the Owner Suite, which made our stay extra special. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, and especially to Sanja, Danica and Teresa — they were absolutely outstanding. Warm, attentive, and always there whenever we needed anything.
Despite the restaurant being closed, there are many excellent dining options nearby. We can especially recommend “Half 8,” just a short distance from the hotel.
Overall, we had an amazing time in Novigrad — it has become our new favorite place in Istria — and Blu Mare played a big part in that experience. We will definitely return, not least to visit Restaurant Porporela once it reopens.
Thank you again to the whole team for a memorable stay.

Einfach TOP!
Pros:

Das Hotel ist einfach fantastisch. Es ist neu, modern und sehr stylisch. Wir hatten die Mare Suite - die ist einfach traumhaft! An der Ausstattung fehlte nichts, es ist sauber und das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und auch hundefreundlich! Das Frühstücksbüffet ist sehr lecker und abwechslungsreich, da ist für jeden was dabei. Zudem sprechen alle ein sehr gutes Deutsch. Wir waren begeistert von diesem Hotel und können es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Hotel an guter Lage, mit freundlichem Personal.
Pros:

Gute Zentrale Lage, zwar nicht direkt mit dem Auto bis zum Hotel erreichbar, doch dank dem Shuttleservice war dies keine Einschränkung.

Cons:

Das hoteleigene Restaurant, hat uns von der Leistung der Küche und den angebotenen Menüs eher enttäuscht. Da bieten diverse Restaurants in der unmittelbaren Nähe zum Hotel, wesentlich bessere Qualität zu guten Preisen. Das Frühstück im Hotel war jedoch ganz ok.
