    Maybe a bit too small rooms for the price. Very uncomfortable pillows on a bed. Furniture on balcony could be better for the price taken, there are chippest plastic table and chairs.

    Nice location close to the beach, both rocky and sandy beaches. Very good food with enough options to choose. Few swimming pools. My daughter enjoyed a lot evening entertainment program for kids.

    Nothing. For the price I think the hotel is reasonable.

    The staff are super friendly and cheerful. They really make the hotel an inviting place to be. I also really enjoyed the beach and the sauna.

    We had an all-inclusive package. However many services were still "add-on" and we had to pay extra. Bar closed at 23.00 - could be at least until midnight. Some devices were broken, but these were minor and it didn't affect the stay much.

    Location, milieu, parking, services, general quality of the facilities.

    We were considering taking our dog with us but when we saw that they ask 30 euro/day we changed our mind. With this kind of money you can leave the dog in a dog hotel, where it will be happier with other dogs. If it was 10 euro/day it would have been acceptable. Desserts were not that great, there were many types but sometimes one good, most of the times none. Better have less options but better.

    I liked the location and the food. Lots of different options for food.

    Fantastic resort for a family holiday.

    We didn't opt for all inclusive because neither myself or my husband drink and we are all veggie. We assumed there'd be more a la carte restaurants but this wasn't really the case. There was one option - Oliva's - which was great and which we ate at three times. The other nights we cooked in our villa. It was possible to purchase one off passes for the all inclusive but this was an expensive option. The only other thing was that there was one good night of entertainment early in our stay. Other than that, the entertainment for adults (i.e. after the kids' disco) was quite poor. This didn't spoil our stay at all but it was a shame as the kids were off in the games room or playing football and there wasn't anything to entertain us during that time.

    The resort was bigger than we expected and it exceeded our expectations in terms of activities and facilities. The villa was perfect for our needs and very clean. The decor was a little dated but we expected this from the pictures. The staff were generally very friendly and the lady who cleaned our villa each day was fantastic. The setting is lovely too. Very peaceful despite lots to do. Overall, a fantastic place and we'd go back.

    The buffet is the main issue - during the peak hours it is very busy and lots of feral kids make it unpleasant. You can find however good food and you can eat healthy if you wish.

    good location, plenty of things to do with the family.

    Large resort, with several swimming pools, possibility for drinks and snacks the whole day. It is best to go for the all inclusive option because food is diverse and good quality for a very reasonable price. We stayed in a villa, which had 2 floors, so we had neighbours upstairs. The villas are practical, but time starts to take its toll on them (front door had to be slammed to close properly, the interior looks a bit dated). Generally it is a pleasant stay (you will spend most of the day outside at the pools or in the sea anyway). Great place for families with children - the Maro centre has activities the whole day for different age groups of kids, with lovely animators (especially Ivonna :-) ) There also evening discos for kids.

    Room was not the cleanest/in the best condition. Service was not the sharpest - although staff were friendly and polite. All inclusive drinks were not great quality (most were cheap sodas/diluted drinks on tap). Villas got quite hot without air conditioning in bedrooms.

    Lots of activities for children.

    Shortage of tables at meals, huge crowd, (small) kids are allowed to help themselves. Long waiting lines before traditional dishes. Noisy restaurant. Enormous waste of food (painful to see). Soft drinks taste too artificial.

    Facilities are great, beaches nearby are beautiful. Good.programmes, diverse (water)sports opportunities. Nice and spacious lobby bar. Lovely family rooms with balcony on the sea side.

    The toilet tank was leaking in the apartment (it was continuously flushing). The maintenance came quite quick, in few hours after we reported it, and replaced it. Soon after it started to leak again, so it seems more of a typical failure of that type water tank.

    We stayed in one of the villas. The resort stretches across a large green area with several pools, sunbeds and playing opportunities for kids. We went for the full board option and it was very much worth it. The food is very good quality and great variety. We stayed for a week, but never felt that we have to eat the same thing again. The resort is right next to the beach, although the beach is not part of the resort itself. (This is why you need to pay if you want to use the sunbeds on the beach). Overall it was a wonderful experience, for families with small children, very much recommended.

    We smelled mold in small houses all the time. Even dough the hotel is children friendly, all the beaches are not really suitable for small children. Sandy beach is cca 10-15 minutes by car, and was too much crovded. I didn't really understand the drink policy for AI guests. Traditional Croatian spirits Tavarica and Pelinkovac had the same price like international Jägerm. in the drink list. 1st was free of charge, 2nd you had to pay for, 3rd again for free.

    Food was delicious, the forest (because the hotel and the small houses are built in forest) was nice and well keeped, the small beaches in the area are also nice.The hotel area is really big together with small houses in the forest. The pools are big and clean enough.
