Best Hotels near Dolphin tours by Sport Autocamp, Funtana

My boyfriend and I visited here in July 2022, it is by far one of the best holidays we have had. Croatia is a beautiful country and I would definitely recommend to everyone! This hotel is a lovely place to stay, very clean and the staff are always friendly especially at reception and in the pool bar. The rooms are spacious and clean. We had a great balcony with a view of the sea. There is a mini bar in the fridge that is restocked daily and you are provided with a receipt of what you have spent each day for you to pay at reception at the end of your stay. There are two pools next to eachother with plenty of sun beds available, we arrived on our first day at 12pm and were able to get a bed. We never went down earlier than 9:30am to get a bed. The pools are clean, music quietly playing around them and aqua aerobics. The breakfast has a large choice of pastries, pancakes, fruit, cooked food, etc. We didn’t eat in the hotel restaurant in the evening as were out and about in the resort trying the other restaurants and cocktail bars (great location!!) The pool bar is great for lunch. We ate here most days as it is reasonably priced and the service is quick. We didn’t stay in the hotel for the entertainment in the evening but most nights out of the 7 we were there they had entertainment on a big stage on the beach. This was different each time and always a good watch. The best was a fireworks show out on the water! Would 100% return to this hotel in the future.

I had some concerns about this hotel, as we always go to 5-star hotels; but everything turned out to be excellent. We booked a suite with a park view which was quite big, modern and practical with a huge bathroom. There was also a walk-in warderobe. From the balcony we could have a nice view over the pine trees and olive trees. The location is ideal with a nice beachfront and a long pathway around the laguna. As for the breakfast and dinner options, they run a mediterrian cuisine with huge selections of fish, meat, grilled vegetables, pasta dishes. The salad bar and the appetizers are a nice touch. Much to my surprise every single hotel person was very helpful, kind and eager to please us. I'm sure we”ll return. I recommend this hotel for families as well, you can walk along the beachfront after dinner for hours, you don't have to taxi to the center. If you want some busy nightlife you can take a tourist train to Porec, it's good fun for kids.

Love this hotel! It’s so light and modern. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good food selection of different meats, fish and vegetables but also pizza and pasta. The free drinks are also a bonus! It’s an amazing location perfect for a family holiday as there are lots to do for children such as bike hire, mini golf, pedalos ect.. I would say it is amazing for a 3 star hotel. You can always get a sun bed round the pool and it has a very relaxed a**osphere. The rooms were very clean, light and modern with good views on the back of the pool and sea. It is a 15-20 minuite walk in to porec along the coastline with a few bars and restaurants along the way but there is also a little train which you can get from bus stop Brulo for €2 or outside the hotel for €4 if you don’t want to walk. There are eco taxis available also. I would highly reccomend and we will definitely be back!

Снимади двухкомнатный номер сьют для семьи с двумя детьми в авгусе в разгар сезона. Отель 3*, но несомненно стоит своих денег, по уровню сервиса лучше многих четверок. Особености: 1) Очень маленькие номера (размеры как в отелях Гонг-конга или старых зданиях европейских городов). Вдвоем в номере перемещаться будет тесновато, чемодан полноценно раскрыть можно только на балконе. 2) Бесплатных лежаков не хватает на всех, поэтому занимать удобные места надо с вечера или рано утром. 3) Персонал в баре у бассейна иногда хитрит, работая без чеков или продавая напитки по цене выше, чем в меню. Плюсы: 1) Чисто и ухожено все, включая номера, общие зоны и территорию вокруг отеля. Номер убирали каждый день. 2) Большой собственный бассейн, достаточно много лежаков вокруг него, также вокруг есть своя зеленая зона на траве с лежаками под зонтами или в тени сосен и кипарисов. 3) Неплохой ресторан-столовая с напитками, включенными в стоимость завтраков и ужинов. За 2 недели отдыха надоесть не успел, блюда на ужине меняются каждый вечер, по четвергам день местной кухни. 4) Детей бесплатно кормят обедами. Для семей с детьми это просто спасение. 5) Множество бесплатных развлечений в течение всего дня, начиная от аквагимнастики йоги и волейбола и заканчивая дискотекой для детей и шоу для взрослых по вечерам. Ксждый найдет что-то свое. 6) Хороший пляж в 1 минуте хотьбы от отеля. Нет необходимости платить за лежаки на пляже - можно оставлять вещи на лежаках у бассейна и ходить купаться в море.

The Hotel BO Palazzo is a classic and classy hotel, dating back almost 100 years with historic photographs hanging in the lobby. It was completely renovated not long ago, and is tasteful, elegant, and gracious with a yellow and white color scheme décor and large crystal chandeliers. It has a wonderful waterfront location at the corner end of the marina pier, with direct south and west facing sunset views, and is within very easy walking distance to the charming old town of Porec, the rest of town, and the parklike waterfront with shaded walking path, beaches, and beach bars & cafes. The suite in which we stayed was larger than my first two apartments after college – the photos on the website, as much as we pored over them to determine which room to prioritize to reserve, do not do this room or, presumably, any other rooms justice. The suite has solid burnished wood paneling, windows on three sides, a large balcony facing the water, a bedroom with a sliding wooden door, a large living area, a large formal dining area with a very large table, an office area, and two full baths. The lighting is chandeliers and chandelier sconses as well as lamps. It’s beautiful and is probably one of the nicest and most elegant rooms in which we’ve ever stayed. The only improvements would be to : 1. Add shade onto the balcony terrace via unbrellas (without a sun umbrella, you could really only go out there in early morning and late day; 2. Replace the jacuzzi tub in the en suite bathroom with a real walk in shower with a ceiling mounted showerhead and floor to ceiling glass doors. The tub is a nice idea but you cannot use it as a shower, so two people staying in the room lose the convenience and time saving benefit of the two full baths and cannot get ready simultaneously. The breakfast buffet is wonderful, with a broad scope of traditional Croatian and more English / American options – a good assortment of fruits, vegetables, and pastries; exceptional gluteny fresh breads; terrific melon; and well made tasty omelettes. The only non 5 star aspect is the juice wall dispenser. Seating is on the terrace by the water. Car parking is at the Isabella Valamar Hotel lot; the Hotel BO Palazzo picks you up and drops you off in a van; it’s a 8 minute or so ride. Parking is safe. The parking lot is near the large community athletic and fitness center; you can buy a short term pass and use the very good gym also. The Palazzo’s gym is not really usable except, perhaps, in the winter as it is on the ground floor, facing west, is very small, has just a few pieces of equipment, and is unbearably hot and humid as the glass windows and skylights suck in all the sun and the humidity of the pool piles on. Thanks especially to Kosta, the van driver; Marija and Matej at Front Desk Reception; and Ines at breakfast.

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.
