Meals: breakfast is offered on the first floor of the hotel, everything is clean and tidy, there is a nice outdoor terrace, but these are 2 menus that simply alternate every other day. Dinner is held in the common Velaris restaurant, but this is a complete copy of the Soviet canteen! The assortment is very poor, I'm not even talking about vegetables, even in season it's grated carrots and unripe tomatoes. Waitresses are called upon not to serve you, but only to collect dirty dishes in trolleys, which they push in front of them, touching those who are having dinner at the tables. Immediately before your eyes, the remnants of food will be raked into a common pan, also say thank you if your clothes and the tablecloth on the table at which you are having dinner are not soiled. By the way, here you will be firmly assigned a place for the entire period of your stay, and, as you know, acquaintances are not always pleasant, or you did not expect to spend every evening in the company of a young family and their eternally screaming children. Great convenience!
The territory has been cleaned, but not ennobled, only dry crumbling needles, a few sculptures and benches. Everything. The beach is not cleaned, butts on the beach are normal. But most of all, the view of the sunbeds is amazing. It seems that they have been standing on a dirty heavy road for half a year, and the staff does not have the thought of washing (or at least wiping) these sunbeds so that it can be seen that they are white. But they collect money for them regularly, they check 2 times a day on what basis you occupy this sunbed. So with this money you at least keep the recreation area in good condition !! ! They do not speak Russian at the hotel reception, moreover, they will not bother to give you the information left for you. You ask - move. Immediately at the reception, something like a bar counter is fenced off, but it works for some 2 hours a day, rather in the evening. So coffee is practically an SUPER dream, not for everyone. There is no swimming pool in the hotel, no bowling, and there is no need to talk about animation. In general, in 5 years, maybe it will be 4 *, but for now it’s barely a C grade... And in general, if you really have a rest in Croatia, then only in Istria!
Well, as always, there is still a tiny fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey: bed linen was changed only after the request, despite the fact that towels were changed every day, wet cleaning was done only after the appropriate sign was posted. Yes, there is no landscape overlooking the sea from the windows, one side of the building overlooks the road (but let's say the traffic on it is minimal) the other to the parking lot and at a great distance to the sea. About the restaurant food in the Velaris complex (this is a moderately large restaurant), it is not very diverse, i. e. the choice of dishes in one evening is not very wide and drinks for a fee.
The hotel has a nice lobby and an excellent terrace on the top floor with comfortable chairs and tables, where it is nice to sit with a glass of wine in the evening.
The territory of the hotel is well cleaned. Yes, in the advertisement they write about bowling, this is not the bowling we are used to, but the local national game))))
