Prima, op wat dingetjes na.
Pros:

Locatie geweldig, transport (o.a. naar Rovinj)geweldig.

Cons:

We moesten per boot over. Dat we bij inchecken laat in de avond (23 uur) een uur moesten wachten (Delphi kade) op een boot vonden we wel erg lang. Tevens was daar geen mogelijkheid om wat te drinken en ging daar het licht uit na 23 uur. Gezellig hoor als je net aankomt! Aangekomen op het eiland Katarina moesten we slepen met onze koffers door het grind en de receptie was niet duidelijk aangegeven. Ik vind dat niet een warm welkom.

Bellissima location...
Pros:

Posto incantevole... Peccato per le camere che sarebbero da rimodernare.

Cons:

Le camere avrebbero bisogno di una rinfrescata...

Sve u svemu, imali smo jako lijep boravak i rado ćemo pamtiti gostoljubivost osoblja, odličnu hranu i mirnu lokaciju.
Pros:

* Osoblje – ljubazno, nasmijano i susretljivo osoblje.
* Lokacija i okoliš – hotel se nalazi na slikovitom otoku s pogledom na Rovinj. U sklopu hotela nalaze se dječje igralište i stolovi za stolni tenis. Tijekom našeg boravka sve je već bilo zatvoreno jer je sezona završila, ali pretpostavljam da je tijekom sezone uz plažu vrlo živo i da vlada odlična atmosfera.
* Hrana – što se tiče raznolikosti jela i kvalitete prezentacije, imali smo osjećaj da hotel zaslužuje 4–5 zvjezdica. Hrana je bila nevjerojatno ukusna! 😋 Posebno nam se svidio prostor za objedovanje – topao, ugodan, udoban i prostran, s dovoljno mjesta za sve i bez osjećaja da smetate drugima.
* Soba – imali smo sobu s dvije prostorije, što je vrlo praktično za obitelji s djecom. Naše dijete ima tek godinu dana pa nam je, iskreno, svugdje pomalo izazovno, bez obzira na hotel.Hotel ima tri zvjezdice. Namještaj i oprema u sobi su prosječni, a stil uređenja jednostavan, ali sve je čisto i uredno. Dobili smo i vrlo dobar madrac za dječji krevetić, što nas je posebno razveselilo jer ga u drugim hotelima obično ne dobijemo pa ga moramo nositi sa sobom.U listopadu noću već može biti hladno, ali naša je soba bila na sunčanoj strani pa nam je bilo toplo i ugodno.
* Kraj sezone – to je također bila prednost jer je bilo vrlo malo ljudi pa smo zaista mogli uživati u odmoru i miru.
* Blizina Rovinja i praktičnost – ako želite otići u grad, vožnja trajektom traje oko pet minuta. Do završetka sezone trajekti voze svakih sat vremena.
* Mirna lokacija – atmosfera je vrlo tiha, mirna i opuštajuća, idealna za odmor.
* Posebno hvala recepcionaru na dobrodošlici! Kasnili smo sat i pol, stigli umorni, a dočekali su nas s večerom. ❤️ To nam je zaista puno značilo!

Cons:

Jedini nedostatak bila je kada u kupaonici, na kojoj je bilo malo plijesni. Nije je bilo puno, ali ipak je bila prisutna.

Wir kommen wieder!
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes Hotel in traumhafter Lage! Der Bootstransfer zur kleinen Insel ist hervorragend organisiert und trägt dazu bei, dass der gesamte Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis wird.

Das Hotel bietet eine perfekte Kombination aus Preis und Leistung – alles, was man für einen erholsamen Aufenthalt braucht, und das zu einem fairen Preis. Sowohl das Hotel als auch die Parkanlage sind liebevoll gepflegt. Alles ist sauber, und das Zimmer hat wunderbar frisch und sauber gerochen – man merkt sofort, dass hier gründlich gereinigt wird.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist das freundliche Personal. Vom Gärtner über das Reinigungspersonal bis hin zur Rezeption und zum Service begegnen einem alle mit einem Lächeln und einem herzlichen Gruss. Das Service- und Rezeptionsteam ist bestens geschult, erfahren und aufmerksam. Es sind gerade die kleinen, liebevollen Details und Gesten, die den Unterschied machen – oft wird schon erkannt, was dem Gast Freude bereiten könnte, ohne dass man es überhaupt aussprechen muss.

Ein Hotel mit Herz, hervorragendem Service und einer besonderen Atmosphäre. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder!

5 von 5 Sternen – oder besser gesagt: 10 von 10! Absolute Empfehlung!

Parada
Pros:

Super, ranajky bohate a rôznorode, pacilo sa nam, ze si kazdy nasiel miesto pre oddych, prechadzky po ostrove a dolu klobuk za kyvadlovu lodnu dopravu. Drzime Vam palce aby sa Vam darilo a prinasali ludom tolko krasnych chvil.
DAKUJEME palo&elen

Cons:

Nepaci sa nam ze tak skoro uz zatvarate cely rezort. Ak by bol otvoreny, tak v novembri by sme boli u Vas opat. Zo Slovenska je to na skok.

A wonderful "paradise" island hotel beside the lovely old town of Rovinj.
Pros:

A fantastic location on an attractive island 5 minutes by private boat (free to guests) from the old town pier. Really nice food and great facilities throughout. Beautiful hotel grounds and the island is great for strolling.

Cons:

Hardly anything we didn't like but the orange juice at breakfast was poor and we would have like hot drinks facilities in the bedroom.
