The furniture and the apartment was a bit old and you could see on it that it was quite used. EV charging is available, but it is ridiculously expensive- flat fee of 30€ for max 5 hours of charging on a regular/slow charger (you pay 30€ regardless of how long/hos much you charge, but not longer than 5 hours). Which is more expensive than most super chargers….

Great location, friendly staff, great facilities around the hotel area, super cool concept with apartments in smaller blocks, very close to the beach and the whole complex of Valamar hotels and hotel apartments in that area is great and full of nature and forest around

The place needs a renovation and the wooden blinds could not be open to get more sunlight in the place. The small upper window in the living room was giving too much lights in the early hours of the morning which was not good for those sleeping in the living room. The door stopper in the bedroom needs to be adjusted as one could not walk pass easily on one side of the bed.

The location was good and the place was very clean.

We're talking about details and personal taste here, but I didn't like the fact that the décor and furnishings remained practically the same as they were in the 1990s, especially the entrance doors and windows (still made of wood, a bit warped). I didn't feel that the front door was even secure (although the whole resort seems secure to me) and I didn't like the fact that the wooden shutters are attached to the glass doors, which means that you don't have a view of the outside if the door is closed. I think the apartments lack some maintenance, but I understand that the size of the resort makes it difficult to keep everything spotless.

We really enjoyed the resort's services and the outdoor space. The pools are great, so is the beach area, there are lots of activities to do, you can eat and drink in the bars for reasonable prices, and the area itself is very diverse and pleasant. There is a tourist train that serves the resort and the town center. We stayed in the apartments, but we also had access to the hotel (reception, bar, and indoor pool and spa). The apartments are spacious, with plenty of storage space and functional. The bed and pillows are very comfortable.

The appartments are designed in a very unlucky way: the apptmts are very close to each other. Our bedroom window was just above the terrace and entrance of our neighbours below, therefore, if they decide to live nightlife, it makes it impossible for us to sleep or rest at night. Especially true and annoying if these neightbours do not respect their neighbours, and live their loud nights not considering even silent hours (after 10 pm!). Not being able to sleep and rest at night made our stay unfortunately unpleasant!

The location, the surroundings, the beach and the sea was really nice. Having a dishwasher made it comfortable. The terrace and the American kitchen-living room is a nice space for the family. Being able to use the facilities of the hotel (pool, etc.) is a useful gesture.

no towels at the pool. no trampoline park at the beach. I was here last year and everything was here- where did the trampoline park go? why no towels if the pool is open? all the pools are open but no towels. annoying

The fixtures and fittings could have done with an update. The TVs are pretty much redundant. it would have been useful to have a better stocked on site shop. The bars and cafes should also stock more snacks and crisps/nuts etc.

Plenty of hotel facilities, the bar area and entertainment was great!

We stayed in villas in aparatments, doors and windows are like 40 yrs old and don't have any sound proof, so you can hear your neighbours like they are seating on your balcony. Also, group of people were having party few nights on their balcony until 4am, and no one from the hotel staff came to tell them to stop. This villas are a bit further from the hotel so they should have someone from hotel staff checking on things like this.

Hotel is renovated, hotel staff is very proffesional and kids club is amazing!

Stayed in August 2022

Airconditioning only in 1 room so at 35deg, second room was overheated. Old equipment so coudl be refreshed. Not comfortable beds. Air-con leaking. Dark rooms vs pictures in Booking.

Location close to Porec, access to hotel facilities (game rooms for children, pool), friendly reception staff,. Near beaches are not so frienldy for families but sea itself is clean. Nice pool.

Stayed in July 2022

Very nice place! Good location near the beach and walking distance to Porec old town. The pool nearest the hotel was very full, a bit noicy and the pool was a bit small. The one next door was much better- bigger and more spacious. Liked that we got fresh towels for the pool every day. Should inform guests that it costs 40kn pr sunbed at the beach. A bit of a hilly walk to get to the shop to buy food. Good exercise though! The apartments are looking a bit dated inside, but they function.

The photographer who took the pictures of the premises (Valamar Residence) did a great job, in reality it looks a bit different. Ready for renovation, or at least some kind of refreshment

In my opinion Valamar has great recruitment and training program. Every single employee (reception desk, cook, waiter, sport zone, kids zone) was absolutely fantastic. Nice, kind, polite, ready to help in every situation. Hotel facilities are superb (swimming poll especially). Breakfast at the hotel was extraordinary, great choice of food.

We were at Villa number k4, it was very dirty , all the walls in rooms and bathroom were full of mold, If your health is important to you, look for another accommodation

Trying to locate the place in the night took a while. Better signed who be good are someone taking you there. Butt other than that. Very lovely.

Very nice apartment

The apartment should be renovated. I'm march only one air conditioner tried to make the room warm, and that was not enough.

There is a lot of fun in the hotel with kids if it's raining. The staff was really kind during the whole stay

Stayed in March 2025

Cold apartment in March, no heating, A/C is not cleaned regularly, generally no clean feeling.

I would not recommend to stay at the Valamar 3-star apartments (i.e. not in the 4-star hotel rooms) during cold weather (we stayed there in March), due to no proper heating in the appartment. Even with outside temperature of 10-14 celsius, we could not heat up our room by the airconditioner which is only in the kitchen. Hotel breakfast is 5-star quality with wide range of foods.

We stayed here the 2nd time now and were really satisfied with everything. The staff is really kind and did everything to make our stay comfortable.

I think the apartments are for family’s wanting the beach No Coffee No wifi

The apartments are not the hotel Felt like a cabin

Stayed in September 2023

Apartment was old and appears to be never maintained, missing basic stuff (no detergent, sponge, tabs for washing machine), nothing to wash the dishes with. There's a stove for cooking but mostly not working or working poorly. Walls with a lot of damage and dirty, dirty curtains, a lot of ants the apartment, doors can barely close, door frames rotten. Apartment was quite cold. Heating was with air conditioner and it was on the entire time and working poorly, no heating/cooling in bedrooms. A lot of garbage around the apartments, seagulls carrying it all over the place. Pool at the hotel is colder than advertised, very shallow.

Wellness and Spa at hotel which is additional cost (10€).

Stayed in April 2023

The apartments were in extremely bad condition. They have been worn and damaged, it looks like almost nothing had been done since at least the 70s (yellow appliances that once may have been white). We had mold in both the bedrooms and the bathroom. The entire place was terribly dark due to the small window sizes. The “fresh” towels we received were full of stains and smelled as if somebody smoked next to them. Even the drying rack was badly damaged and rusty

The (sister-)hotel’s facilities were quite nice and free of charge, e.g. the pool and the fitness room.

Stayed in October 2022

All is great, we will definitely come back again! Excellent service, very nice staff. The location is ideal for any purpose.
