We spent four days at the Kempinski Adriatic, having previously stayed in city locations we wanted a different holiday. We could not have chosen better. (We have stayed all over the world in different 5 star groups and the Kempinski group are superior in our view.)
From the lobby staff to the beach restaurant manager, all the staff were truly a credit to the hotel. We were addressed by name each time we requested our vehicle or arrived at breakfast and staff couldn't have been any more helpful.
The rooms, breakfast and whole experience were superb.
We ate in the restaurants. The beach Kanovo restaurant was simply amazing - best meal we have eaten for a very long time.
We had read some of the less favourable reviews of the food and cannot agree. The meals were superb value as they were very, very good! If you want cheap food and a cheap experience quite simply, go elsewhere. This is high quality and you won't be disappointed.
We knew the hotel closed on the day we left, you couldn't tell! The manager was very visible and his high standards were evident in his own actions eg even taking dirty plates from residents as he walked past tables, to shaking his staff's hands on arrival and to the high levels of resident care during our stay. Amazing, even by Kempinski high standards. We will return next year.

We went as a coupe during the summer but we saw that it is also great for families.
In a country where most hotels are privately owned and have no international background, it was refreshing to experience true service and great food.
It has its own private secluded beach a stroll away and a restaurant with incredible views of the Adriatic.
Recently built, the bedrooms are comfortable in size and facilities. Some connecting for families.
Opposite the hotel there is also the best Golf course of Croatia so we are thinking of coming back this Autumn...
Located in the northen part of Istria, it is 40min drive from Rovinj, Porec and Portoroz which are great for day trips.
You can also get the boat to Venice !

It's already the 3 time we spent 1 week in this hotel. The reason why we always come back is the 100 million dollar view over the sea, it's the best you can find. The staff is friendly (if YOU are friendly to them), t he prices are a bit overrated. The dinner in Dijana Restaurant is very good and you can eat outside on the terrasse (even in October if the weather is fine). The breakfast is very good, they only have a problem with small black insects on the food.

This year there was a little problem with our room which was not very clean when we arrived. The head of the bed which is in white leather was stained (not only one brown stain but a lot, it was awful) and I had to call the housekeeping to get this cleaned. They arrived very quickly after 10 minutes. But the whole room was not as good entertained as it used to be the last 3 years. Also the corridors of light brown stones, which were very clean as we arrived, had a lot of stains when we checked out, they didn't clean it the whole week (which is not good for a 5 star hotel).

The balcony of the hotel is big enough for 2 chairs and one table, they only have chairs which make a lot of noise when you move them. If you want to sleep and some of your room neighbours are outside, it's impossible to sleep. The room is very well furnished with a Bose Entertainment System, the TV in the bathroom does not work. You can control the air condition individually.

The bar menu is very good, the cocktails are nice, also at the beach bar. The beach is not sandy, you have big white rocks and you need shoes to go into the water. The beach is not very big, it can be crowded in the summer season. You have to walk for minutes to go to the beach. The water is very clear and you see the coast of Slovenia. I didn't use the swimming pool so I cannot say anything.

I visited this hotel on May. It was very good experience, very good breakfast with wide sort of food. Hotel restaurant is very good but better restaurant is hotel restaurant neer beach which is open just on Friday and Saturday. I recommend this restaurant is very very good and nice views on the sea. Hotel bar is perfect as well. Room is comfortable like a Kempinski, which is amazing hotel chain.
