Adriatic Istria Resort Operated by Minor Hotels

Our stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a kind, attentive, and impressively numerous staff who spoke excellent English and were always ready to assist. A special mention goes to the team at the pool bar – incredibly friendly and warm-hearted, creating a truly pleasant atmosphere. The main pool was perfect – pleasantly warm, with no unpleasant chlorine smell, and just the right depth, even for our young children. The hotel is very child-friendly and tolerant towards families, yet still maintains a peaceful and respectful environment thanks to the well-mannered guests. We originally booked a standard room, but the lovely receptionist proactively checked the available options for an upgrade and kindly took the time to personally show us a few rooms. I really appreciated this level of service and did not hesitate to upgrade to a beautiful room with sea and pool views. The room was spacious and featured a large, comfortable bathroom. We were also pleasantly surprised by the à la carte dining – the meals were both delicious and interesting, with great presentation. Although this is a luxurious 5-star hotel, the overall atmosphere felt relaxed and unpretentious, which made the stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel – it’s the perfect place for a peaceful and comfortable family holiday by the sea.

We stayed at the Kempinski Adriatic and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The hotel absolutely lives up to the Kempinski name – elegant, well-maintained, and beautifully located. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, which added to the overall sense of luxury. There were, however, a few small details that kept us from giving a full five stars. The lawn in front of our room was mowed almost constantly throughout the day, which disturbed the peaceful atmosphere we had hoped for. Additionally, it felt a bit surprising that Eggs Benedict at breakfast came with an extra charge of €5, considering the otherwise premium setting. While most staff were professional, we felt that some could have been a bit friendlier. Despite these minor points, we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely consider returning. A high-quality hotel that delivers on most fronts.

❌ A hotel we once loved turned into a complete disappointment We had been coming here for years – but this stay was an absolute disaster. No breakfast chef for omelettes, dirty dishes left on tables, staff slow and disorganized. Many couldn’t speak basic English. And the worst part? They refused to give our 3-year-old son cocoa just because we came 30 minutes early. Shameful. Eggs Benedict for an extra charge at breakfast? In a 5★ hotel? And Kanova restaurant, where we wanted to have dinner, was simply closed. No notice, no explanation. Just “bad luck – try tomorrow”. Totally unacceptable for a hotel of this level. At the beach – zero service, just a self-service bar. Food? Only pizza and fried fish – boring, low quality, overpriced. Pool area? Just as disappointing – weak menu and missing mosaic tiles, making the place look neglected. Rooms? Superficially cleaned, and a spiderweb between the doors of the connecting rooms stayed there untouched the whole time. Bathroom lacked even basics – no toothbrush, no comb. This is no longer a luxury hotel. It’s a sad downfall and a mockery of what it used to be. We’ll never return. And we strongly advise others to avoid this place. ⭐ 1/5
