My wife and I have just returned from Porec and the hotel Fortuna. We had read the reviews before we set off and were looking forward to a well earned break. We were not disappointed, with most of the trip. The Hotel has, inevitably, over the years become a little tired. It needs a lick of paint. The rooms are adequate. We had a rear facing room and it looked directly into the pine forest. Some of our fellow guests, as we have seen in previous reviews, complained about the noise from the mainland into the wee small hours. They seem to forget that other people are on holiday also!
We were bitterley disappointed that the promised air conditioning was not installed. The temperature whilst we were there rarely dropped below 33 degrees (46 on 2 days!) and A/C was needed.
The main town gets busy from the beginning of July.
The area has a lot to offer. A visit to Lake Bled in Slovenia, whilst it is a long day, is a visit to a most beautiful part of the world.
Avoid the temptation to visit Venice for the day in high season. Save up and go for a week in spring.
The staff were exceptionally pleasant, the evening entertainment, bland. You pay a little more for your drinks in the hotel bar and the lights go out spot on midnight and the staff disappear. Perhaps the hotel may think about opening a while longer considering that the last boat back is 12 midnight.
Whilst this review may seem somewhat negative it is intended to point out what the hotel needs. Our overall view of the hotel was very positive and good, I would urge you not hesitate to book the Fortuna.

Just returned from two lovely weeks in Porec.
Had been there 20 year previously, but stayed at another hotel further out in Porec. Porec has changed, but I think for the better!
More little bars shops and restaurant to choose from (spoilt for choice) Locals are very friendly

Stayed at the Fortuna, as I said I would if we ever returned as it looked so lovely. We were not disappointed. The only down side I would say is that the front of the hotel could do with a face lift (painting). Dont think its been done since it opened in 1986!
Dont let this put you off though. Inside is absolutely fine. Staff are very friendly and are really helpful. Rooms are good size (could do with air conditioning though, but you can hire a floor fan for about £2 per day!)

Restaurant is lovely and the food is great! I could not believe that all the soft drinks and wine and beer were free at dinner time! and as much as you want. Great variety of food, but the puddings are a bit samey. The hotel operates a ferry service until midnight in low season and 1am in high season every half hour to the mainland and is a lovely addition to the holiday.

If you go on a trip, do the Lake Bled one. It is absolutely stunning and well worth the cost (about 500 Kuna which is I think about £50) we also did the Venice trip which we have done before.
The trip is by catamaran and takes approx 2hours 30 minutes.
Again worth the money (@ £50) but is very busy and HOT.
Would deffinately recommend Porec for a very relaxing holiday with stunning views from your hotel!

We have just returned from a two week holiday in Porec.We are both late twentys and were quite worried when we got on the plane as it seemed an older range of people.....we did not need to worry as we found Crotia to be friendly and welcoming.
The hotel is reached by boat which runs every half hour.Rooms are cleaned daily and are spacious with balconies...I suggest you upgrade to a room on the front overlooking the water as it is a beautiful view.Breakfast and evening meal are buffet and there is a great selection,we rarely had lunch as we ate so much at breakfast.Also in the evening red,white wine and beer are available from 7-9pm and you can go up as much as you like.Poreci tself is so relaxing we sat in cafes people watching it was fabulous.We had great meals out of the hotel also at San Nikalas which is on the sea front,in the turret restaurant at the top and also pizza at Da Tonis was great.If you can do go to Rovinj,Trsar on the boat trips bok on the front as you get a better deal than with travel agents,we paid 180 kuna or £20 each for trip with lunch Rovinj is beautiful. Also we got the ferry to venice it cost £40 each but was well worth it you can just book when you get to porec.The weather was mixed when we were there but it was boiling when the sun came out.At Fortuma it is worth getting a massage as she is very good and often has discounts on different treatments. Go to the supermarket in town for soft drinks as alcoholic drinks are cheaper than soft drinks in the hotel!!Fabulous holiday just hope porec stays as it is now and does not turn into a magaluf!!

We have just returned fron a week at the Fortuna. First the downside there is no air con in the rooms and it could do with a lick of paint here and there.
The good news is - the friendly staff, the variety and quality of the food, it is spotlessly clean and the location. The hotel is on a small island with stunning views. It is easily accessible to the mainland by free and regular ferry.
The weather was fabulous during our stay so plenty of sunbathing around the pool and bathing in the crstal clear waters of the Adriatic. The Island has it's own naturist beach which we enjoyed, it's a shame about the negative comments on this facility (usually from the prudish Brits) as it is well hidden away and you have to go looking for it.
Croatia is a beautiful country and at the moment it has a laid back feeling and the towns have a refined air, long may this continue.
