The Polynesia apartments are the last in a long line of beach hotels/apps on the Umag seafront. Spacious and modest with a lovely terrace or balconies, they provide easy access to the paved or pebble beach located around a beautiful bay. Plenty of playgrounds, so there's one close to your apartment, no matter where you are. The pool is nice and big, and there’s also a shallow one with fountains for the kids. You can find natural rocky beaches up and down the coast, in 10-15 minutes. The surroundings have everything for a pleasant stay: mini golf, restaurants, shops, bars, ice cream, massage parlours, watersports and sports rentals. The famous Umag ATP tennis stadium is very close. You can start your day with a yoga or aqua aerobics class, and keep moving till the sun sets: swimming, Zumba, Pilates, cycling, paddle boat, diving school, parasailing - everything you could wish for.

Detailed Reviews
A lot of negative criticism can be read about the apartamans in Polynesia Katoro. OK, a lot is true. However, look at things from a positive perspective, You cannot expect to get air conditioning, service, etc. for such a price. This is the simple story of this destination. At the end of the day, the only question is whether the child is happy. The pluses are as follows; the coast is nearby, the pool is great for children, normal prices for food at the pool, friendly staff. Bad points; one spoon in the apartment for five, poorly functioning stove, heat in the apartment. Overall, it was an average week in line with expectations. Again, when you go to this facility, go there with a positive attitude.

The Polynesia Apartments are not the newest, but I must say that they are quite clean and the location by the see is great! We stay in the apartments every year for a couple of days in September and we have always a great time! I really like the app because I can take my two dogs with me and they also have a special beach area where dogs are allowed and I must say - this part of the beach is really nice! Umag is very near and some gret restaurants are just a couple of km away (the best: Bruno!). I you are looking for a cheap holiday, these App are a good choice!

Dear Mr Turkovic, Facility Manager, it is not a question of renting in Kator. It is a question of how, in the European Union, someone can rent out accommodation that is a health hazard. My family and I will avoid your hotel completely and will never come back. I will also inform the management of the Swimming Lagoon about the state of this resort. I ask you frankly, would you and your family stay in one of these apartments for even one night? Be honest and answer truthfully. So I ask you again: stop renting out this resort.

This place was recommended by our friends. We are a young family so for the last two years our travel plans where put beside. Our daughter is now three years old and she is ready to travel. We decided to do a Croatian by the coast Road trip and our first stop was at your place.
The place was very nice and quite. It was clean. Our appartment was on the ground flor so it was easy for us with a small kid and a dog. The food around is great and the places that the staff recomended where just the way that they say that they would be.
The animation girl (Anna) is very very nice and very helpful and polite so our little princess was happy and smiling. Thank you one more time.
We will come back to your place. Thank you one more time :)

In my opinion Apartments Polynesia have everything you need to have a great time on your vacation. I was there for the second time now and I would recomend it to everyone. A few years ago I was there with my family for the first time and this year I went back with my friends. I like the location, beautiful nature, several different activities organized by local animation team, nice apartments and beautiful seaside. Actually you have everything you need there. It is great for families, for young people and also for old people, because you can find something to do there no matter how old you are. Also the staff is very helpful and kind. I would like to highlight awesome animation team that organizes activities for everyone (children, adults). The apartments are well eqiupped and clean. I will definitely go there again!

We where staying at this place for the second time. Like the first time it was the same this time. The place is nice and clean. The staff is making it very simple for you and your children to get around. The kids were having fun with the animation staff (Ana and i cant remember the guys name. Sorry!). Because of that me and my wife had so free time for our self. I don`t think this was the last time that we were staying at your place
