Hotels Near Photo Point Kvarner Bucht in Sveta Jelena

Although there are some small negatives, this personal hotel will win you over so that you will be not wanting to leave like us! The hotel is in a magnificent location directly on the sea front of Lovran. Lovran is an unspoilt small town / large village with a delightful very small old town and has everything you could want without being over touristy. Lovely long seafront promenade goes on for a mile or two Pros: Food is good (but not excellent, Lots of it but not always cooked perfectly ) with an extensive buffet at breakfast and dinner. breads are amazing , as is the pizza and fresh fruit and salads. there is always fish and meat and vegetarian. Good soundproofing Hotel has its own little stony beach with a few sun beds and a lovely outdoor pool set in large grounds. Lots of sunbeds with mattresses. Beautiful views over the sea and islands from public rooms and sea facing room s (essential in my opinion) Fabulously peaceful, and thank goodness no music by pool Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly Spa is absolutely fabulous. Lovely large indoor pool with lots of windows and outdoor sitting space and the changing rooms and showers are very good . (although the man on Sunday was the only staff member to have been rude the whole stay) The bar has a balcony overlooking the sea and does a huge array of cocktails Room clean on arrival (but only “touched up “ each day after that). We had a kettle in the room because the rep insists for the British tour group but no other rooms have one. They are very eager to help with your luggage Now the Cons: Outside seating area for breakfast and dinner is plagued by smokers. Perhaps they could divide it into 2 sections so that the non smokers can go outside too without being enveloped in smoke. No decaf coffee at breakfast. You have to buy by the cup which seems unfair as regular coffee and tea is provided . And I could not find any at the local supermarket so best to take your own No bathroom amenities of any kind other than a soap dispenser on the wall. Their Air con is no such thing. In my room there was a temperature control in the room but it did nothing except blow occasional uncold air and it was impossible to get the temperature below 23. However my neighbours rooms both show 24 or 25 but were cooler than mine! It is all regulated from reception and they decide how cold each room is allowed to be. The rep said open the windows instead but that is no good with a busy main road on one side and trees with mossies on the other. And last night my neighbour had what they described as a huge flying cockroach come into their room! I eventually went to reception and discovered that each room has a temperature set centrally and they changed mine. It was better for a few days but still not exceptional. Even worse although the fan blows all night the air cooling seems to switch off at 10pm and come back on at 6 am - but its nighttime you want to be cool! No air extractor in the bathroom. Ligh

I am a solo traveller in my 70,s .I was given a single room which was a box! I am not a large person ,but the loo and shower were so small that to get in you had to squeeze past the door hitting your back against the wall.then you had to pull the door past the loo climb over the the loo to get to the shower!,then close the door from the shower after the shower came the nerve racking return on a wet tiled floor!! as you can guess it was very slippery. I went to the manager and explained the danger of the wet floor ,and if I fell and injured myself I would sue. after a lot of discussion she reluctantly agreed to move me to another room with a larger shower. speaking to the receptionist next day he said that they had had complains before ROOM 524 Beware Next . if you want a sun lounger you have to pay 12 euros for the day!! I explained that I was at the hotel ,you still have to pay I was told .Just a note if you are a couple that need two sun loungers plus an umbrella per day it will cost you 30 euros extra a day THAT £25.80 EXTRA A DAY!!!! .A rip off beware Food at the hotel OK Don,t eat on the outside veranda as you have to share with the pigeons who will try and eat your Breakfast with you PS add £2.80 a day city tax

Very nice two nights stay in this hotel. My love and I choose this hotel in Opatija, because it seems very nice and price for two nights stay whit breakfast was affordable for us. We had some event in Rijeka, and, like I wrote, because we never stayed in Opatija and Opatija is near Rijeka, we choose this hotel. Part of hotel is restaurant and ******, so if you want to double or loose some of your money you can, hehe. Room was very clean. Bathroom was clean too. The breakfast was excellent. You can choose to eat a fairly large selection of dishes, including some local dishes from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar region and the Kvarner region. And for the first time, we were able to take pancakes, which was not offered in all our travels and the hotels we stayed in so far. So we were very satisfied with the breakfast. Everything was fine. The first evening we had dinner in the hotel restaurant. The offer was not large, understandably considering that it is not the season, but the sea bream fillets we ate were delicious. The service was relatively slow, but I won't take that into account, since we had a really good time at this hotel. All in all, a good and nice hotel, with a nice view of the park across the street and, if you are on a higher floor, of the sea. Thumbs up from me. ​

Really outstanding experience exceeded all expectations. Great spa. Great breakfast. Excellent dinner in the kitchen and a true tour de force at their Michelin restaurant Nebo. Fabulous spa facilities including multiple sauna types etc. We also got massages which were excellent. Our trip was during the late September shoulder season and it was a true pleasure. We also enjoyed the walk along the water toward Opatia. The view from our room was a panoramic perspective of the Adriatic. So glad we stayed there.
