Medora Auri Family Beach Resort

The best hotel in Croatia! Wonderful place, the best beach, excellent services!!! Everything is at the highest level, accommodation, food, wellness, Thai massage. I recommend the hotel to everyone, families with children /all-day program for children/, older couples / quiet hotel/.

Very nice hotel, good breakfast and dinner buffet with wine and beer inclusive. View from the balcony is very nice and had a very calming vibe. Service from the bar is great, very friendly, quick and attractive. I would recommend ordering a drink the call antique, it's a local vermouth drink and you get cool points if you order it

The hotel is great for families, there is nothing to complain about the services. BUT: it is neccesary to have rules on the beach because people not only occupy the first row with chairs and towels and they leave it unoccupied by noon (problem already described in many comments), but they are effective blocking (!!!) the access to the beach with extra umbrellas or personal belongings, so you cant pass them!!! Basically you have to make a biiiig detour to get to the beach from your back row chair, because everything is blocked by the ones in the front row. This is so rude and so inacceptable, especially when that beach is full of children. You took the first row, i get it, it’s rude but it is what it is. But you cant be THAT rude to deny others access to the beach or to make them Lose time with detouring because your lack of manners. So the manangement of the hotel must regulate this aspect because it seems that common sense doesnt work here.

Review by Scandinavian family with two kids aged 9 and 11. Location was perfect for Podgora right at the beach promenade and close to what you get here. Sunset every evening and clear water. Hotel provide towels and sun-beds but you have to up 0600 morning to get your sun-beds and place you towels. The longer you waited the longer back you came. At 9:30 all was gone. We saw many times people came 0600 went back to sleep and then around 11 came to the beach.. Food at hotel was under average. Overcooked/undercooked meat, pasta, dry fish. Didn’t find one potato or fries that were crispy. Maybe you get what you pay for. To sum it up: quantity ＞ quality. Decent variety but there were so many people. We tried different times to eat, but way too many people and it was loud inside. The music was so bad(lounge style) load from morning to evening. One machine that provided soda and the drinking glasses could maybe take 125ml.Hotel personal at dining area took your plates when you ate your last bite. We found it pretty stressful and annoying though we have experienced it other places this was exceptional and interrupting us many times under dinner. Hotel rooms were clean and good service there. Fitness had bad air conditioning. Some cardio machine. Up to 10kilo dumbbells. A barbell and a technogym machine for leg press and push/pull which were of newer standard but bad in my opinion. Pool we didn’t event try. So many people and impossible to change from beach to pool since as said … you have to grab your place early if you want to have a sun-bed and umbrella. Shopping in the mini markets at the promenade can provide with the simplest you need but was really disappointed with Podgora versus for instance Cavtat where we found the restaurants and atmosphere must more to our liking. Will I come back? Never and I would not recommend others with so many better alternatives.

You know that feeling when you realise you just did something for the last time….? Jumping from a 10 meter cliff at 45 years of age, hurting you back and understanding you are to old to do that, or a clothing you don’t feel well wearing and throw it away just to make sure you don’t accidentally wear it again. Well, this hotel will help you make a decision for life not to book any similar hotels ever again. It’s huge, loud, crowded, totally without identity, tasteless food, expensive, grey, hard and with a general quite unwelcoming atmosphere. We booked 1 week with a family of 5 with two rooms via TUI. All considered adults in pricing as the youngest kid is 13. In the room (which turned out to be in a different and even more container-like building) there was a double bed and a mattress on the floor. When complaining about having paid full price and being asked to sleep on the floor the guy in the reception just shrugged and told me to go away with a cold look and talking frustrated muttering to himself in Croatian. The first impression with a grumpy, anti-serviceminded and arrogant receptionist turned out to also be the somewhat lasting impression during our week at this hotel. A typical example of how lots of the staff always seem annoyed that the hotel actually have guests. You feel like you are always disturbing even though you are just in the same part of the hotel. (Worth mentioning is that the always smiling cleaning staff were super friendly.) In the overcrowded and very loud restaurant you will want to sit on the balcony towards the sea. The issue is there is a heavy balcony door moving inwards which is hard to operate with a plate of food and maybe a cup of coffee. There are always staff standing there talking to each other but almost no one even attempt to acknowledge your presence and need for help with the door. The bread is dry, the risotto overcooked, the bacon just cooked, there is a lot of choices, but almost all tastes nothing or rather bad. It’s big, boring, lots and still nothing you feel you want to eat, and the staff is just standing around sighing over you being there. Outside the hotel there are several ok restaurants which we ended up going to even though we had paid for having dinner included in the hotel price. The sea is great (the main reason for choosing Croatia in favour of other countries around the Mediterranean Sea) but the beach is rather crowded and every day, for 45-60 minutes, the Animation Team (oh, how I cherish the thought of never again staying at a hotel where there is an “Animation Team”…..!) plays extremely loud and horrible music to the whole beach, while trying to persuade more than 7 people to join the water aerobics. To end this long text I would like to thank Medora Auri for helping me finally decide to never ever visit a hotel in this category again. Mass tourism like this is from now a thing for the past for me and my family. Point taken! You need to hurt your back to understand you are to ol

Great hotel with a good localisation, by the beach! We stayed there last year in July for a week and had a fab time! We had two rooms connected with two bathrooms , our girls loved it! Our half board included the drinks (like a wine, bear and soft drinks) for a dinner in the price! Amazing! We would like to say a BIG thank you to Petra, Natalia and Luka for looking after us and our gluten free daughter( pancakes every morning and chocolate cake for a dinner). Only what need to be improved it is an animation team.
