Imala sam predivan boravak u ovom hotelu! Soba je bila čista, udobna i lepo uređena, a osoblje veoma ljubazno i predusretljivo. Doručak je bio ukusan, a atmosfera prijatna i opuštena. Sve je bilo odlično organizovano i rado bih ponovo odsedala ovde!

When we picked up the key at the front desk, we didn’t get the cottage that, according to the photo, was supposed to be closer to the sea. Also, the campsites are very close together, and it’s a huge, crowded campground.... We asked for the other standard cottage. The photos don’t match reality. This cottage was in a quieter location, though. The … cottage was dirty, with stains everywhere; it was old, with dog hair on the walls, and the toilet and couch were covered in stains. There was a musty smell, and the floor was just brown. The shower also had only a small water heater, so the water turned cold quickly, and there was no oven. The cottage got damp quickly. I cleaned it myself but asked the front desk if they could clean it again. They said they’d do it the next day, but no one came. I had to go back to the front desk again. I think the cleaner was inside for about 10 minutes because the dog hair was still on the toilet. They just tossed some bleach in there. There were also old pots for cooking. What was nice, though, was that you could order extra towels. Otherwise, it’s a nice pool, but as if you weren’t already paying enough for the cabin, lounge chairs cost 10 euros per person. If you want a beach umbrella too, that’s 20 euros per person.....
The sea near the campground is beautiful, clear, and nicely landscaped.
Some restrooms were dirty, while others were fine.
Food at the campground was mediocre. The “homemade” hamburger was actually just from the freezer. Plus, a lot of it was sold out.
People were riding e-scooters at high speeds. There was also loud music played by campground guests one night, and for two days straight, starting at 8 a.m., they were pruning right in front of our cabin—why can’t this be done off-season? Not much variety in fresh pastries in the morning either.
Given the many downsides, we won’t be coming back here. At most, we might visit the region again, since Croatia and the sea near Vrsar were very beautiful—we’d look for a different, less crowded campground that’s better organized and cleaner. For dog owners, the dogs definitely have the time of their lives. They’re allowed in designated areas of the sea and can use the dog showers. There are also lots of dogs at the campground.
Fancita Restaurant in Vrsar is highly recommended for dining.this is a translation, click here for the original
Toen we de sleutel bij de receptie kregen hadden we geen huisje dat volgens de foto dichter bij de zee zou zijn. Ook zijn de campingplaatsen erg dicht op elkaar ook is het een mega massale camping.... gevraagd voor het andere standaard huisje. Foto's komen niet overeen met werkelijkheid. Wel lag dit huisje rustiger. Huisje was vies, overal vlekken, oud, hondenharen op de muren en de wc en de bank vol vlekken, muffe geur, vloer gewoon bruin. Douche had ook maar kleine boiler dus sneller koud en geen oven. Huisje snel vochtig. Zelf gepoetst maar receptie gevraagd of ze nogmaals wilde poetsen. Dit zouden ze de volgende dag doen, niemand is geweest. Wederom na receptie. Poetser zijn denk ik 10 min binnen geweest want de hondenharen zaten nog steeds op de wc. Alleen wat bleek erin gegooid. Ook oude pannen om te koken. Wat wel fijn was dat je handdoeken kon bijbestellen. Verder is het een mooi zwembad maar als je al niet genoeg voor het huisje betaald kosten ligbedjes per persoon 10 euro. Wil je er nog een parasol bij dan 20 p.p.....
De zee bij de camping is mooi en helder en mooi aangelegd.
Sommig sanitair vies en andere prima.
Eten op camping matig. Home made hamburger, was toch gewoon uit de vriezer. Ook was er veel op.
Er word hard met e steps gereden. Ook was er 1 nacht door campinggasten luide muziek en werd er 2 dagen lang de hele dag vanaf 8u gesnoeid voor je huisje, waarom kan dit niet buiten het seizoen? Verse broodjes ook niet veel keuze ochtend.
Aangezien de vele minpunten zullen wij hier niet meer terugkomen. Hoogstens naar de streek want kroatie en de zee bij vsrar was heel mooi, een andere minder massale camping die beter op orde is en schoon. Voor hondenbaasjes hebben de honden wel de tijd van hun leven. Ze mogen op plekken in de zee en honden douches. Ook veel honden op de camping.
Fancita restaurany vrsar is aan te raden om te gaan eten. -
