Hotel Park Plava Laguna

This hotel is excellent, modern, clean and spacious. The facilities are very good, although the pools are quite deep, seemingly without shallow ends. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is of good quality and variety. The only downside is that we found meal times to be quite chaotic and challenging. Partly due to the volume of people and quite frankly, out of control children, at times. Location wise, the hotel is situated in Špadići which is a 25 minute stroll into the beautiful Porec. There is also a small train, every 40 minutes costing €2.50 each way. There are a few bars and restaurants near the hotel and the beach literally across the road. The beach is pretty much concrete but the sunsets are amazing. Porec is stunning and well worth a visit. We also visited Rovinj and Pula but found Porec to the be the nicest, although busy, and hot! The hotel attracts nationals of most European countries and on particular there seemed to be a lot of Austrian and German quests. There were few brits (which isn’t a bad thing as we aren’t fans of brits on the razz). We’d have given this hotel 5 stars, however meal times were an issue and we ate out for 3 out of our 7 nights due to this. This was our second trip to Croatia and would highly recommend a visit. The people are warm and friendly, the towns and scenery are stunning.

The rooms are clean, spacious, and beautiful. The food is tasty and diverse. A big plus is the heated outdoor pool. The entire complex is clean and well-maintained. The only bad experience was the poor-quality drinks from the machine at dinner (warm, with a moldy taste). The staff is unfriendly.

Very nice hotel, everything well organized. Nice and clear pools. Our room was daily cleaned up. Food: let’s say I always found something nice to eat. The hotel has near too pool an A la carte Restaurant with very good food also during the day. Beach: the hotel has no own beach, but the once nearby at nice and clear. And is also a sandy Beach from the Valamar hotel besides, partly public. The hotel has also a room for bikes, where you can also bring a Stand Up Paddle for overnight.

The hotel itself was excellent the staff were amazing, rooms cleaned daily ,pools were good lots of seating around the pool, staff at the Ala park pool bar were lovely and their lots of activities for our kids to enjoy day and night. However, we where half board(never again)the food hall was like a very rude Germany cattle market in the morning and evening. People pushing in and pushing our children out of the way. People piling their plates up and not leaving any for anyone else to have. Family pushing past to get tables that you are walking towards to get for our family. One evening it was a cinema evening which my children were super excited about however a Germany family decided to move there chairs right in front of us to we couldn’t see. I complained to the waiter but the family wouldn’t move. So we decided to move over our chairs next to them and we ended upsetting another family (every man for themself I thought). The swimming pools were lovely a bit cold at time but there were no shallow ends in any of the pools. They did a lip at one end of the pool which was shallow but had a deep drop at the end of it. Hotel very much catered for the Germany market only 3 British families we noticed. Porec was a beautiful town we loved it there full of culture and history , however you needed to get a taxi there and back which was about 15 euros each time. We went a few times for food due to the hotel for not catering for one of my daughters we can only eat certain food due to a tummy issue. Finally there a sea platform with steps going down. We bought sea shoes to go in to the sea as the floor was full of stones which was fine the sea Wes warm and lovely when you got in. However the steps were really slippery and I end falling in on the steps I really hurt myself and end up with a bruise on my bottom 30cms by 15cms and it was very painful for 3days please be careful on the steps especially with young children.

Quite a nice experience. I give four stars. One for food that was satisfying. One for the accommodation which was fine, one for the staff who were very friendly and we would give the last star to a wonderful girl who made our child happy And thank her for that, Stella, the Naka family loves you ♥

Thank you for all your care. Food was excellent and hotel very clean. Our boys loved the children club and really nice pools. Everything was perfect and we can definately recommend it. See you. J. Jež
