5 Stars Hotels in Istria County, Croatia

The rooms are clean and spacious, with oversized balconies. The hotel has a variety of facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, gyms, SPA, etc., while looking at the sea and the forest, it is actually very suitable for a few days on vacation. We left for one night after visiting Rovinj and it was a pity

We're staying in the Grand Park hotel, where we always stay during our holidays. On Friday, we needed to see the vet for our cat, that we brought with us to the hotel, because she wasn't feeling well for the last 2 days and seemed like she was ill. We called the vet, and he told us to come to the clinic immediately but we only had ten minutes left, before they would close . We didn't know the way and we needed someone to drive us with our car to the clinic quickly. When we got to our car, we asked for help at the reception but no one took their time to help us, except Rikardo, who was very kind and helpful, as he was the only one to take his time to drive us there, ”saving us” in that stressful situation. When we arrived at the vet, he helped carry the cats cage to the waiting room, where he waited with my daughter until the cats examination was finished, then drove us back to the hotel. Such service, care and kidness on his part is unforgettable to us, we are very lucky to have met a person like Rikardo during our stay. Aljoška Joksimovič and Nia Gasperič, Slovenia

Just got back from a 7 night stay and WOW what a wonderful Hotel. The location is great, its an easy 15 minute stroll along the beautiful ”flat” coastal path into the Old Town. The Old Town is hilly with lots of quaint cobbled streets a few roads back from the harbour to explore. It has plenty of great restaurants, we found Sante Croce and Fondiaria to be particularly good. The Hotel has free bikes to borrow you can have them for as long as you like, we cycled through the wooded nature park to the left of the Hotel and beyond the Old town to the right. Breakfast in the Hotel is served until 12, it includes a very extensive cold buffet plus hot cooked food to order, theres ample choice. The bedrooms all face the bay, they are a good size and have huge bathrooms, with Molton Brown toiletories. The only downside for the rooms is they could do with a set of drawers for clothes storage. Theres a kettle with a varierty of different tea bags and they will give you milk from the restaurant. It is spotlessly clean with very professional friendly staff. In addition to the Hotels spa you also have free use of large gym, sauna and spa area which is located in the Hotel next door and can be accessed via a linked corridor from the Monte Mulini. I had a wonderful massage in the Spa at the Monte Mulini. Very impressive lobby and bar area, with beautiful terrace to have a drink and watch the sunset from. Wine and olive oil tasting in the Wine Vault was great. We also had a lovely surprise from the Hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Thank you Monte Mulini for making our stay so special, we hope to visit you again sometime soon.

This place is amazing! There is so much to do for kids here but they have also thought of the adults too. Outdoors there are the multiple pools including a lazy river, a deeper pool where adults tend to go, a kids pool with slide and a shaded splash pool for toddlers. There are also multiple play areas outside, ping pong tables, volley ball net and large hotel grounds where you can use the scooters which can be hired for free from the kids area. Down at the beach they have a water sports centre, we hired a pedalo, kayak, paddle board and e-scooter and prices are reasonable. Indoors the blue net is amazing, there is a football table and the cinema has a floor projector so kids can play in there too. Cinema shows movies in different languages over the week and had 2 English movies whilst we were there. The game room was one of our favourite places to go, they have PC’s, switches, PS5’s and lots of games. The staff were always great in there (especially Borna) and over 8’s can get a pass to come and go on their own. We joined in with Mario kart tournaments, robot coding and remote control racing, there was lots of activities that can be booked. The kids club is great, it feels very secure and they have lots of activities only thing is they advertise certain activities but when we went they didn’t always do them. The room was great, enough space to live in and although we would have preferred a bath the shower was very powerful but tended to flood the floor. The peg board in the room kept us busy, great addition for kids to be amused whilst back at the room. Kettle and small tea station available in the room but no English tea included. Food wise they had a brilliant selection for every meal, we loved the smoothies that were freshly made at breakfast, the kids station provided chips, chicken nuggets etc and the food was of a great quality. We particularly loved the cat robot who would take your dirty plates away. The only issue we had as a family with allergies was that although they had signs out showing allergens they were not reliable. There would be signs missing, signs moved and signs not relating to the items there. We had some food that I would have guaranteed did not contain certain allergens but stated it did, there was items that did not state certain allergens but named them in the title of the food and some items would state allergens one day but the following day the same item would change signs and add or remove allergens. There was a sign stating to speak to staff regarding allergies which would have been good if it was a severe allergy but for many people this is not the case. The staff in the food area were so good, always clearing plates and cleaning tables. Drinks are available to buy but water, coke and juice were all free at meal times. Overall I would highly recommend this place, it’s an incredible experience for families.

A lovely space, but you can see that they're still growing into their rhythm. We arrived just after 6pm, so the 2 night managers was already on duty. The lady helping us check-in was not confident in the process yet, and continuously asked her colleague about steps she was taking - which made check-in quite long. However, they both were helpful and professionally friendly. The room we received was absolutely great. It's a whole apartment, with a kitchenette and even a washing machine included - which was superb to travel further after our stay with a fresh set of clothes. There is also the option for the resort to do your washing for you, should you wish. The AC is sleekly built into the walls for a nice, modern finish - and a cool room in the Croatian / Slovenian summer heat. Breakfast is amazing - a wide variety of choice between different seasonal fruits, the 'European Standard' of mueslis, yoghurts, breads, and cheeses, along with other 'experimentally healthy' things like chia puddings. There's even desserts at the breakfast buffet, like freshly baked cakes. And they have vegan mylks available - both freely on the buffet, as well as on request for coffee orders. Lunches and dinners are a bit more limited. The Rooftop Restaurant only opens for lunch at 14:00. There is the option to have sushi or pizza at the ground floor pool restaurant from 12:00, but this is a very limited menu. The food itself was good, though, and the restaurant staff friendly. The Resort has a shuttle from the hotel itself to their semi-private beach area. However, it's a quite short walk of about 200m, if you don't want to wait for a shuttle. There is another restaurant / club area at the beach for drinks and food. TIP: When using the public facilities, eg. the infinity pool / gym areas, do so in the morning. During the afternoon, the pool area(s) is packed with no sunbeds or space left. When settling on a sunbed, the staff comes by and offers swimming towels to the guests.
