Hotel Narcis - Maslinica Hotels & Resorts

This hotel was absolutely brilliant ,the staff were so helpful,the rooms were too a very high standard and the food was second to none

We ( family of 4, 2 kids) spent a very enjoyable week at hotel Narcis. Narcis is part of the maslinica hotel complex, so all amenities are available to guests from all 3 hotels, which is great because a lot is available (including fitness, sauna, mini disco for kids). The hotel was very clean, and well staffed. Usually our room was even cleaned by the time we returned from breakfast! The rooms are very large and spacious with generous sized balconies and plenty of storage spaces for luggage and clothes. We were also pleasantly surprised to see a drying rack on the side of the balcony! The beds were comfortable and we slept well, including the kids which had a bed/ sofa. The food was really excellent. We had half board (breakfast and dinner) and didn’t need to buy lunch because we were still full but we usually bought some ice cream cones with the kids:)I enjoyed the grilled vegetables at breakfast (peppers and eggplant) as well as the huge selection of fresh seasonal fruits like melons, apricot and plums. The kids liked the waffles and pancake machine. We also also thought the filter coffee was very good!! (But we didn’t like the coffee from the machine, it was instant coffee). At dinner we especially enjoyed the chicken legs, spinach and risotto (thank you to the staff for working hard and cooking so well). Food was always brought out very quickly and it seemed like there was more than enough for everyone. We never experienced long queues at breakfast or dinner even though we went during the main tourist season. Thr location is excellent. The hotel is very close to the beach, and there are free lounge chairs ( white with a red M) guests can use. We enjoyed walking the promenade, checking out the other beaches and many activities like SUP, snorkeling, swimming, the floating obstacle course (wibit fitness park) and cliff diving from another beach about 3 km away, plus a pirate ship excursion . Overall the experience was very good and we would come again. The negatives are only 2: 1. The elevators are few and far between. Because of this we only used the elevators twice the entire trip: once to take the big suitcases up to our room and once to take them back down, even though we lived on the 5th floor. We are young and fit so we didn’t mind taking the stairs but if you have mobility issues or a baby stroller you may want to ask for a lower floor, or else you will spend a lot of time waiting for the elevator. Some guests told us they regularly had to wait over 10 minutes for the elevator. 2. The air conditioner was not very good. It blew slightly cooler air but our room was never “fresh”- maybe 23° or 24°. In the evening it seemed that the air quality decreased and it started smelling a bit stale. We slept with the big terrace door open instead of using air con at night, so it was ok. I think if there had been a heat wave it would have been much too hot in the room.

I had the most fantastic holiday. First time as a solo traveller and went with Shearings. I couldn't fault anything about any aspect of my holiday. The hotel was spotless, the food was delicious and I made lots of friends with my other bus buddies. Would highly recommend. I will most certainly use Shearings again. Jim and Ash our tour guides where absolutely brilliant and made the holiday even more fun. The excursions to places like Pula and Porec were amazing too and included in the holiday! Perfect. Croatia is a stunning place and Rabac is a joy to visit with crystal clear water and lovely little shops and bars to visit as you walk around the harbour, I absolutely loved my stay here and would highly recommend. Thanks for a wonderful stay at Hotel Narcis. I must mention the lovely Katerina in the bar, her smile was warm and welcoming and the staff worked tirelessly to keep all the guests happy. Comfy bed and the best aircon EVER!!!!! Tip. Take a travel kettle. I wish I had. X

Unprofessional personnel at the reception and in the restaurant, cheap beds and accessories, cheap soft drinks, food ok, wellness great. The personnel almost kicked us out of the room cause it was their last day (we were in time!). The hotel market almost empty as if it was war.
