Stayed only one night in this property and we learned it was the last night of the season. The whole village closed the next day for the winter.

Nice hotel, the main picture is a bit 'enhanced' when it comes to water clarity and the glorious deep blue - water is still clear and nice, but you cannot really go for a swim in front of villas, it's too rocky. We tried 3 restaurants - O Grill was good (the waiters might put more smile on their faces :), Laguna simple pizza place, was good. But Stella Maris all you can eat buffet, opened only for b-fast and dinner was a nightmare. We tried dinner there once - crowds of people, line-ups, screaming, running kids, no, thank you. Price was 105 kuna per person. Suggestion - instead of hours only 7-9pm, open like 5:30 pm to lessen the hordes of people! There were 2 sand beaches, couple with man-made entrance into the sea by ladders. We experienced some small cute jelly fish floating around in the mornings (non stinging!). The indoor pool, on top of numerous outdoor, was a definite plus. Our teenagers rented bikes and jet ski once as well. We went to Umag on a local little train that runs every 15 mins (20 kuna per person/ride). Overall really nice - and as I said, some staff could be more pleasant. One young man who drove us on the electrical car to our van remarked - "It's the older people who survived the war, they don't have much smile on their faces. Us, younger people, we have no problem." Thank you, young man, for being honest!

Roomy villas by the sea
Nicely laid out villa in large wooded complex which are spaced out as not to look over each other. The rooms were a nice size for 2 people 4 would be a bit cramped. The bathroom and kitchen had everything you need, fresh towels and cleaning services everyday.

Fantastic place to stay...we had a 2 bed and 2 bathroom villa for a teenage family of 4 and this suited us perfectly...small kitchenette which we used for breakfast but enough restaurants on the resort as well as a grocery store for everyday purchases...like is like an upmarket CentrParcs based in Croatia except you are right near the sea with loads of water activities...we hired a boat, went jet skiing and some scuba-diving...there is even a little train that takes you to Umag where there are tons of places to eat...terrific place to stay...villas were cleaned everyday, with a nice veranda to sit and enjoy dinners...there was even a stone baked takeaway pizza place where you could order pizzas and sit on your veranda with wine to enjoy the evening dinners...Ice cream parlour brilliant, weather brilliant and staff brilliant...cant complain at all...highly recommended... sunsets amazing

End of season but still nice
Generally a nice place to stay with small self contained apartments. It was right at the end of their season so many things closed, and the indoor pool was barely heated and too cold to make good use of. But good value, very peaceful location and stay. The local town is nearby which has plenty of restaurants and nice to look around but also limited due to end of season.

We came during off-peak season (late september) so there was not a big crowd there which was nice as it was very quiet and peaceful. However, many activities and business were either closed down or operated at shorter hours due to the end vacation season but the location was beautiful and the accomodation was very nice, comfortable, clean and private! Cookwares provided were in excellent condition. Overall, we loved it!

Anlage selber ist sehr schön, mit schönem Meer / Strand in Richtung Westen für schöne Sonnenuntergänge! Gute und viel Auswahl an kostenfreien Liegen, man kann auf der Wiese oder auf Steinen liegen und die Menschen verteilen sich gut auf der Anlage, sodass es trotzdem ruhig ist. Die Häuser sind leider sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die vergilbten Tücher über den Betten sollten sie dringend abnehmen, die sorgen für keinerlei wohlfühlfaktor. Leider auch etwas Schimmelprobleme (klar, bei der Feuchtigkeit am Meer!) in den Häusern - hier wird aber bestmöglichstes getan zum Beseitigen. Ebenfalls viele komische langbeinige Käfer, aber da kann die Unterkunft nichts dafür, ist halt die Natur ;) Personal war freundlich und bemüht, bei Problemen zu helfen Alles in allem war es in Ordnung: außen top, innen naja. Aber man ist ja sowieso mehr draußen als innen :-)

Ok.. aber...
... die Villas sind in die Jahre gekommen, jedoch werden diese nach und nach renoviert. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist eigentlich in keinem Verhältnis für den Service den man bekommt. Die Lage ist ansonsten sehr schön und es hat beim Meerbereich viel Schatten. Beim Aussenbereich des Hallenbades würden Sonnensegel (die Infrastruktur dafür ist ja gebaut) gut sein, damit man auch draussen liegen kann. Vielleicht kommen wir wieder, wenn aber nur in die Umgebauten Villas, denn sonst ist der Preis eigenltlich nicht gerechtfertigt.

Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis stimmt hier nicht
Das Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier leider nicht. Die gemietete Villa war nicht im besten Zustand, Vorhangstangen hingen teilweise lose herunter, im Bad hatten wir eine Ameisenstraße und die Sauberkeit ließ auch zu wünschen übrig. Schön war der Strand mit den Föhren/Pinien und es gab ausreichend Liegen. Wir waren aber in der Nebensaison unterwegs, wie es im Juli/August aussieht, kann ich nicht sagen.

The apartment was not clean, the fence door was broken, there was no room service anyday. The kitchen equipment is very poor and there is nothing to be used for washing the dishes. Many things were also broken on the bathroom. The public areas are also not in the best condition, my husband felt on the beach, the stairs were not clean and it was extremely slippery. You also don't have much privacy in the terrace, villas are very close to each other. The staff is not particularly friendly and helpful, many bars and estaurants are closed or low on staff. Not worth the price at all!!

Kleiner Mängel rechtfertigen nicht den hohen Preis
Insgesamt ein positives Urlaubserlebnis. Der erhoffte Luxusurlab war es jedoch nicht. Positiv: 1) Personal immer freundlich und hilfsbereit 2) Hervorragende Infrastruktur im Resort (Lokale, Sport, Freizeit, Einkaufen, ..). Negativ: 1) Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen. 2) Inkomplette Küchenutensilien (Küche ohne Schwammtuch und kein Spülmittel, wenig Kochgeschirr) 3) Dunstabzug führt in einen geschlossenen Küchenoberschrank!! 4) Klimaanlage in Schlafzimmer kühlte nicht ausreichend, wodurch wegen der erforderlichen offenen Tür das Zweizimmer-Appartement zu einem Einzimmer-Appartement wurde. Angesichts der hohen Preise (man bekommt größere Appartaments auf dem letzten Stand der Technik in Umag um weniger als die Hälfte des Preises) werde ich nächste mal nich

Das Personal war sehr freundlich, die Anlage war sehr gepflegt, nach einem schweren Sturm am ersten Tag wurde innerhalb von 2 Tagen fast alles wieder in Ordnung gebracht. Die Preise im vorhandenen Supermarkt waren sehr fair. Das einzige was mich gestört hat war, das alle Restaurants um spätestens 21 Uhr geschlossen wurden, oder eins davon gar nicht erst geöffnet war die ganze Woche. Ausserdem haben wir glücklicherweise vorher in den Bewertungen gelesen gehabt das keine Kaffemaschine vorhanden ist, wir haben unsere eigene mitgebracht. Aber im großen und ganzen alles Top

Die Ruhe, die Nähe zum Meer, die Größe des Apartments waren richtig toll. Es waren sehr viele zerquetscht Insekten an der Wand und komische noch lebendige Kriechtiere krabbelten an der Wand und am Boden. Ansonsten für den Preis passende Leistung. Noch nebenbei erwähnt: Der Zug in die Stadt war häufig überfüllt, sodass wir tlw. 3/4h warten mussten, mit kleinen Kindern etwas schwierig. Im Großen und Ganzen aber ein schöner Urlaub mit 2 Kindern.
