отличный отдых great vacation

This is our second trip to Croatia.
Primosten was chosen because the guide spoke well of him last year in Makarska.
This is the only hotel in Primosten, located on the Raducha peninsula, the territory is landscaped, except for the distant buildings, buried in the shade of tall pines, level 3*+ 4*+.
The hotel consists of several buildings interconnected by covered glazed corridors, and as far as I understand, it welcomes guests all year round. On the territory of the Zora hotel there is a swimming pool with a retractable dome, a gym, a kids club.
They settled immediately upon arrival, since the departure of the flight from Kyiv was delayed, then we settled late. The hotel employee kindly helped to bring things to the room, brought a meal ticket. A cold dinner was waiting for us in the room (sliced ​ ​ cheese and sausage, tomato, butter, bread)

Our room on the 3rd floor, with a side sea view, with a balcony, in the shade of pine trees. On the balcony there is a plastic table and two chairs. The bed in the room is excellent, soft mattress, good furniture. The room is cool and clean (the air conditioner was working before we arrived) There was also a ceiling fan. There was no minibar (it could be rented for an additional fee, but we managed somehow). The bathroom is clean, there are shampoo bags and liquid soap in the dispenser. Plumbing is not very new, but in working condition. Light laminate floor, tiles in the bathroom. Cleaning is normal, without fanaticism, the beds were made, changed 1 time in 5 days, towels are changed on demand.
Meals (we had HB) - organized according to the buffet system - excellent, everything edible, except for chemical juices like Jupi... Well, coffee - leaves much to be desired..... but somewhat monotonous after a few days (muesli, omelettes, yogurt or kefir, boiled eggs, sausages, vegetables, several types of bread and buns, sliced ​ ​ sausages and cheeses 3-4 types, pastes, jams, butter, tea, coffee several types - from vending machines, pancakes, bananas, oranges, peaches, watermelon... )
Dinner is also an excellent buffet (1-2 soups, hot dishes of beef, pork, poultry, fish dishes, several types of side dishes, vegetable and other salads, desserts are very varied and tasty) Drinks are paid separately. The restaurant staff is kind and helpful.
During the day we ate fruits and buns (a market and a bakery not far from the entrance to the hotel), in the supermarket "Tommy" or "Studenac" bought wine, juice and water. Water and fruits were taken to the beach. We left the beach at about 13-14 o'clock for a siesta in the room, after 16-17 we swam a couple more times and went to dinner.
Above the restaurant there is a bar with an open terrace and a beautiful view of the sea and the city. We drank cocktails and coffee at the bar several times.
The beach is excellent pebble stones, rounded of different sizes - spacious, there was enough space for everyone, although in order to take a place in the shade, we had to leave early. There are water sports areas on the beach (jet ski rental, paragliding, boat, kayaks, diving)
you can cross by boat to the islet Smokvitsa opposite the hotel (we swam across like this - feral rabbits live on the island and there are ruins of a building resembling a barn or a house) Barefoot is difficult to walk there - thorns.


In the evening, everyone in the city goes to the promenade. Primosten itself is small, there are several supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, there were performances on the main square almost every evening, for example, the brass band of the Primosten community. We practically didn’t go to cafes and restaurants, we had a bite to eat at Amici’s pizzeria a couple of times - my husband took pizza, and I took a tuna steak with some kind of side dish, plus a glass of wine; yes, a couple of times we drank homemade wine and liqueurs in a cafe and in a wine cellar on the embankment.
The guests of the hotel are 70-80 percent French - they come in large groups, the all-inclusive system operates for them (Croatian all-inclusive for the French with bracelets - this is for dinner - free red or white wine on tap in ordinary glasses carelessly washed after breakfast), then the Austrians, Germans, Dutch, less Poles, Czechs, etc. According to the locals, the French are stingy, it’s too much for them to pay for drinks at dinner......
Excursions - we went to Sibenik on our own by regular bus, spent almost the whole day there, and dined there.
Souvenirs: In Primosten, souvenirs are quite traditional and monotonous. In Sibenik, I bought myself a natural sponge, a beautiful pareo, several postcards, a souvenir spoon, a decorative plate with a view of Primosten, a nice ceramic watering can for flowers, a couple of magnets, a thimble. In the supermarket before leaving, we bought sliced ​ ​ prosciutto, cheese, Bronchi toffee candies (with some herbs, I have not seen them anywhere else), tinctures of travaritsa, orahovac, pelinkovac....
In general, the impression of the hotel is positive, a relaxing holiday, there are some little things that you can close your eyes to.
