I will share with you my story of acquaintance with Zora, while the memories are still fresh (I returned from Croatia last week)!
Let's start with the backstory. . .
In 2008 we rested in Croatia in Baska Voda, Hotel Horizont (my review is on the hotel page). Then we liked everything, just the only thing - we went at the end of September and it was a bit cold...
When planning a vacation in 2009, we took into account the past mistake and planned a trip for July. We chose a hotel for a long time (we were 4 families with children, and we wanted something good). The Travel Agency praised Zora very much and assured us that we would be delighted. I rummaged through the entire Internet in search of reviews about Zora, but apart from the stories that Gorbachev lived in Zora (this is probably in the 70s), I didn’t really find anything. I asked why this was so, they said that there were practically no Russians in the hotel - that's why there were no reviews. Then it seemed logical to me. . .

In a word, here it is - a long-awaited trip to the sea. We all drove by car (4 cars, respectively) to Croatia for about 16 hours from Ukraine (with stops). Tormented and tired, they arrived in Primosten at about 12 o'clock at night. . .
Shock 1: We drove into the parking lot, through the barrier, took some coupons (it’s not clear why, but later it turned out that parking is PAID - 1 euro per day from the bus. ) And immediately behind the barrier the whole friendly column stopped. There was simply no room for our cars. Sleepy, tired, the children and I were sitting on our suitcases, while the men were trying to somehow push our 4 rather big cars to each other. The staff at the reception answered our request for help - we have such rules - the guests themselves are looking for a place to park... But Really... Who cares about expensive cars - you yourself arrived - and think about where to leave them....
Shock 2: We went to the hotel. The hall is a typical Soviet hotel. . . such a Salut or Zorya (Zora. . . ). SOVDEPIYA!!! ! We settled for about 40 minutes... we figured out something for a long time - where whose children are, who needs an extra bed, who doesn't, etc... Finally, they gave us the cards from the rooms. I went into the room (micro-room), there is no safe, no balcony, TV - no Russian channels, NO CARPET or carpet - just tiles ! , there is no bed for the child either! I go to the reception to ask for a bed - she tells me to find "such a bald guy and ask him if there are free ones - he says he will give"... I go looking for a guy. I find. I ask for a bed. He says with a dissatisfied look that he is tired of everything already with beds. 30 minutes later brings the bed. It's already about 2 o'clock in the morning... He puts the bed, throws 2 sheets on it and leaves. I say, hey guy, and who will lay it, am I ? , and he told me - Yes, you. It's not my job. And he leaves.
Shock 3: I make a bed, I shift my son (6 years old) there. While the son is sleeping, my husband and I go to watch the sea. And there is not a beach - but just rocks. Huge chunks of rock. We don’t understand how our children from 1 to 7 years old can swim there... SHOCK !! ! In addition, some naked drunk women with men are lying on the beach... In short, just F... A!!!!

Shock 4: Staying up all night. . . crying. I think how I can survive here for 10 days... Morning. I'm going to breakfast. Breakfast - a few sausages the day before yesterday, 2 types of sausage AND ALL !!! ! I want to cry even more.
Fortunately, right after breakfast, my husband takes matters into his own hands. He calls our Travel Agency, which sent us, after long negotiations, he seeks a full refund. In parallel, I call the good old proven Horizont in Baska Voda, fortunately there are 4 free numbers there. The manager with whom I agreed (his name was Serhan) gives us a discount. After 1.5 hours of driving - we are in the Horizon, settle down and go swimming. Primoshten, I remember ZORA as a nightmare and I can tell you with 100% certainty - It's a POCKET, never go there!! ! By the way, a vacation in Horizon for the same 10 days ended up costing us 500 euros cheaper than that HOLE... We took these 500 euros for the family as a reward for all our tears and worries. (don't think that we were trying to save money! We don't save on our impressions!!! ) Good luck to you! I would not wish anyone to experience everything that we experienced during the night in this NIGHTMARE HOTEL !!! !
