отдых в Хорватии holidays in Croatia

We stayed in this hotel for 14 days. Fully justifies its 3 stars. Before leaving, we chose an all-inclusive hotel, because we had a child with us. "All inclusive" included breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea (tea with cakes and ice cream) and dinner. Breakfast is the usual European (you will not be hungry), lunch and dinner are very good! There were many fish dishes, mussels, various types of meat, liver, grilled vegetables, sweets, fruits and much more. Wine red, white, beer and diluted UPI were for lunch and dinner at no extra charge. Coffee and tea only for breakfast and lunch. We checked into the hotel at 10 pm, but a late dinner awaited us at the restaurant, which also pleased us. The staff is friendly, even when on the day of departure in the hall we were waiting for the bus and we were no longer allowed to have an afternoon snack, the restaurant administrator invited us to have a bite to eat. The room was cleaned every day, but the towels were changed every other day, and the bed for 14 days -2 times by the maid herself and once at our request. They try to maintain cleanliness in the hotel and throughout its territory, which cannot be said about the beach. In general, the beach and the sea in this part of Croatia turned out to be a complete disappointment for me. . The beach is not very clean (old plastic glasses, plastic bottles were seen, which no one cleaned during the 14 days of our stay). The beach, as it were, consisted of parts: a concrete platform, then there was a pebble, and then sand. So you can choose where you like best. The sea is shallow, to swim you need to walk 60 meters, but for small children it was a plus. The water was clear, it seems to be clean, but there was no emerald-beautiful color (which I expected so much), because due to the relief features the sea is calm here (there were no waves at all) and in some places silt is deposited on the stones, which gives water grayish color. Although on other beaches (seen when visiting excursions) the water was just super! Medulin is a small village, there is no entertainment, except for cafes on the waterfront, souvenir shops and children's carousels. If it were not for the animators in the hotel, then everything is very quiet and calm. Girls and boys from the children's club did a great job! Children were entertained during the day, in the evening there was a program for adults. We went on our own by bus (the schedule is below in the hotel) to Pula. We were also on a boat trip along the coast of Istria (Porec-Rovinj-Vrsar). It was interesting that lunch and swimming in the bay were included. But if you are with children, think about how your child will endure this trip, since all the children who were on the boat endured this walk very hard and we are no exception (everyone was very sick), so there was a moment that I even regretted that took the child. After this walk, we did not dare to visit the Plitvice Lakes, because it takes a long time to go there and the tour takes the whole day (actually from 7 am to 11 pm), and there everything is very fast dashes (according to the stories of those who have been there). Money (euros and dollars) was changed at the guide (the exchange rate is higher than in exchangers in Medulin), but it is even better to change in Pula. In general, despite all the minuses, we liked the rest!
