“Pleasant stay at walking distance to Porec”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 27, 2012

A long weekend in September in this hotel was a good choice because the hotel has an outdoor heated swimming pool with extra whirlpools. The selection of food for breakfast and dinner was good. Rooms are comfortably furnished, with a large balcony. Location is very good, as is the city of Porec 15 minutes. You can also sit on the mini train under the hotel that leads to town Porec. From there to the Green Lagoon is a great walking path suitable for biking, jogging or walking.

“Great hotel lovely location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

Have just got back from a holiday with Leger staying at this hotel.
It is a very clean hotel and my room was spacious with lots of room for your clothes - even my long dress which some hotel wardrobes aren't geared up for. I had a view over the pool area & could even see the sea through the trees.
The food was amazing - buffet style which is the best as you can take lots of what you like & avoid what you don't like. I couldn't believe how much choice there was and everything I tried was well cooked and tasty.
The bar area had both tables & chairs and comfy couches to relax on. The staff in the bar (& those in the restaurant) worked very hard making sure everyone was served. They were always very polite & friendly & very helpful - I was amazed how good their English was. Drinks at the hotel were very reasonably priced - roughly £1.25 for cappucinno.
From the hotel it is just a short walk down to the sea front from where you can walk round to the town - it took me about 20 minutes. Or you can get a little tourist train.
Porec & all the other places visited were stunningly beautiful & clean & this is definitely somewhere I would go back to & I would recommend this hotel to all friends & family.

“Great location and ideal for children”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2012

We are a couple and found the hotel is geared more to families with children.
The service and staff are excellent and the food very good.
The room was clean but the air con not good. Not sure it was premier standard.
The gala evening was great.

Room Tip: Request a balcony and a premier room with woodland view.

Dear guest,
I am glad to see you were satisfied with the service and our staff. We also take care about the quality of the food in our restaurant and try to offer as much local produce as we can.
The air conditioning in the rooms works only if the balcony doors are closed, so we can be more energy efficient and at the same time take care of the environment.
The gala evening is one of many programs we offer to our guests to enjoy and have a relaxed and fun time.
Hope to see you again next year
Best regards
