If you enjoy large unfriendly hotels then this is the place for you! The hotel staff were unhelpful to the point of rudeness, with the exception of one bar man, I can honestly say I didn't get a smile, please or thank you out of anyone all week. The hotel reception was probably the most offensive. When we checked out,... more

Very dissapointing stay. Although we expected a certain old Yugoslavia (70's) style hotel experience we didn't expect a drop in those standards. Food was dreary and repetitive, hotel staff were extremely unapproachable and unhelpful. Entertainment was dull and noisy. In addition to this the resort, Umag, is a pretty charmless place. Half a day is enough to see its 'highlights'... more

I have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Aurora Hotel in Umag. Before booking I read previous reviews, which persuaded me to book my holiday. How disappointed I was by the present reality of the hotel. The flight to Pula was late in arriving which meant I arrived late at the hotel. I was given a room... more

This is a truly 4* hotel. It is located 3km from Umag, very close to the tennis court. Still, the access in the city is easy and cheap if you use the local tourist train. Its a rather big hotel, about 300 rooms nicely furnished with big terraces. Service is good and the hotel crew speak alot of foreign languages.... more

We booked with Thomson's as we wished to take a trip on offer to visit Venice. We had read the reviews which are so positive that we did feel they could not be fulfilled, but the hotel manager is a wonderful man whose dedication is to be admired by all. His staff adore him which results in their cooperation and... more

Just back from a week at the Sol Aurora booked through Thomsons. I loved the location of the hotel although it mght not suit everyone. Its a 50 minute stroll from the centre of town but there is the local tourist train that runs regularly and only cost a £1 each way. This picks up just outside the hotel and... more

Having read good reviews on this website we chose Sol Aurora and it did live up to our expectations. The hotel is spotlessly clean and we did not see any litter for the whole of our 7 day trip.The only complaint was the lack of available tables in the dining room but we didn't have to wait too long for... more

We booked into the Sol Aurora having read reviews - and it was good but there were some issues that we didn't either read about or take in properly. Firstly, we knew about the transfer time but it took us about two and a half hours to get back to the airport on the coach. The nearst town of Umag... more

This hotel is situated in woodland close to the coast in the Istria region of Croatia (North). The nearest village/town is the small resort of Umag about 2 miles away. We found the easiest and cheapest way to travel there was by the small motorised train, that runs from outside the hotel with several stops until it reaches Umag town.... more
