It was my first vacation abroad. The hotel is normal. I can't say anything bad. True, experienced tourists said that the hotel was 3 stars, and not four, as stated. We had a sea view room with a balcony and plastic chairs on it. True, it was somewhat dusty, but we still did not use the balcony. We only slept with the windows open.

It was my first vacation abroad. The hotel is normal. I can't say anything bad. True, experienced tourists said that the hotel was 3 stars, and not four, as stated. We had a sea view room with a balcony and plastic chairs on it. True, it was somewhat dusty, but we still did not use the balcony. We only slept with the windows open. The staff service was impeccable and of high quality. The bed was always made in our absence and the towels changed. Despite the fact that I did not leave a tip, since the money was real in the butt, I did not experience any negative. And further! a couple of times I just forgot the money on the nightstand (bills and change) not on purpose! There was no Wi-Fi in the room, but at the reception it was not a problem to sit for free at the computer or from your device on the Internet. The food was not bad. Of course, in the morning there is more choice, but to be honest, I never left hungry. Food differs from ours in its scarcity, but not so much as to draw attention to it. The hotel had a currency exchange with an acceptable rate. The only case that upset me was related to the choice of a table at breakfast. Since it was my first time, I didn't know that one should only eat at the tables assigned to the agency from which I was traveling. After the girl and I sat down with the French, an administrator of a rather gangster-like appearance approached us and strictly said in Croatian (I could hardly make out what he required of us) where our place was in the dining room. It's just that this rule, as I understand it, applied only to tourists from the CIS. I didn't see the tags on the other tables! In general, our tables were separate from the rest! But honestly, I do not hold a grudge against him, since "my brother" stood out from the crowd unambiguously. (I smelled Russians from a kilometer away! When visiting Plitvitsky Lakes, I saw a young man (dad) with a child around his neck spit in crystal clear water and neigh like a horse when fish swam up to his saliva, hoping that it was food. Honestly, I wanted to punch you in the face! )
I did not go to the beach of this hotel. We walked further as concrete slabs were everywhere, and in the center you could buy ice cream or drinks. In general, it is clean there, but bulls and glued chewing gum occasionally came across. I did not observe any entertainment in the hotel, but closer to the center (7 min walk) there were cafes and discos. The water is clear, but sea urchins are in abundance. I advise you to go there for the weekend just to relax and not for adventure, but this is just my opinion.
P. S. As a rule, there were no problems with the language, I boldly spoke Russian, when they did not understand - in Ukrainian and problems with understanding disappeared.

We were in Opatija at the beginning of June, when the sea is not that very warm, but the vegetation . . Blooming garden! We did not leave the feeling that you are on a tour of paradise - oleanders, lavender, magnolia and, it seems, a million more plants known and unknown to me. The hotel is very personal, and the breakfast is quite decent.

The hotel is very personal, and the breakfast is quite decent. The pool on the 8th floor is amazing, don't forget to visit. But the room is very small, the two of us can't turn around. And not a very pleasant view from the window directly to the mountain. But, on the other hand, they would know, they would pay extra and it would be better if they booked a room with a balcony and a sea view, it's worth it. But the general impression of Croatia did not spoil anything for us. If there is an opportunity, I will come again with pleasure.
