Best Hotels near Otočić Školjić, 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.

Looking at the brochure photographs of this idyllic island Hotel, you could be easily seduced. It is a bit rundown in places however, this can be ignored in favour of the beautiful setting and facilities offered. The staff is friendly and will offer a smile in return. The Pools are regularly maintained and there is an abundance of sun loungers all over the pool areas and pebble beaches. The level of cleanliness throughout the hotel lives up to its 4 star rating. The rooms are of a standard hotel layout and provide adequate storage for your clothes. The wardrobes do not have enough space to hang a full length dress and, as the dress code throughout the hotel is casual, you may wish to leave the 'Formal' clothes at home. We had a few issues with the room however , these were quickly resolved. The restaurant could be improved. The meals area sounds more like the works canteen with too many reflective surfaces to bounce the noise around. Table cloths would greatly improve the noise levels and ambience. There is a sort of music played over the many speakers which reaches all areas. Quite frankly, it becomes annoying after a time. The meals are buffet style and varied day to day and cater to all tastes however, I would suggest it is strongly aimed at Non British guests. The 'Canteen' opens at 6.30p.m. and, as there are no table allocations, there is always a mad rush to obtain the best tables. Generally the food is of a good standard and along with free wine and beer on tap, is acceptable. Overall I would recommend this hotel. There are sea views from all rooms to varying degrees. I would recommend going high and take a room facing the other island. Ask to see a layout of the hotel and choose your own room. The ferry to Rovinj is regular and the town is worth a visit. I would definitely go back to Croatia. A country worth a visit.

I read the reviews before I came and the negatives are true, the food options are very repetitive, with lunch/dinner very similar, with little change throughout the week we were there. What was there was not really to our taste and the local coke or “cola” was pretty horrible. Getting a sun lounger was a challenge unless you saved one pre breakfast and not helped by people holding up to 6 and then not using them all day! What the recent reviews I read didn’t really cover though were the positives. The hotel is clean and the location is great. A very short walk to a beautiful bay and options to walk along the coast. Porec is a cycle ride away (free use of bikes for one trip) or there are boat or train options too. The free sports options are also great for keeping kids interested in sport entertained, There is a fairly large sports setup immediately outside the hotel which can be used free of charge, based on some limits I.e you get either 2 hours free per activity (per week or stay I am not sure) or 2 times 1 hours and that includes a quality Tennis club, and the less quality table tennis, crazy golf, bikes (3 hours), kayaking, pedalos, squash, bocce. It’s also within walking distance to a good waterpark and a good location for day trips to Venice or Pula. We didn’t see much of the entertainment, but there was a good Beatles tribute band one night followed by fireworks while we were there. When I booked the hotel it was one of the cheaper option and overall it worked really well for us. I would recommend the hotel, however, would warn people to have low expectations on the food front in particular.

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.

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.
