Отдых в zore Rest in zore

We lived at the ZORA hotel with a child of 12 years old from August 4 to August 14.2011. The overall impression of the hotel was favorable, although the check-in had to wait 2 hours. The hotel is located on a peninsula, 20 meters from the sea. A large area with parking (entry through the barrier), pine trees, squirrels, two beaches, one in the lagoon, finely pebbly, very convenient with children, so there are always a lot of people. The second is large pebbly, on the other side with access to the open sea, so to speak, and with a view of the town. The beaches are citywide, so both locals with children and renting apartments in the city come. On the beach there is a shower with fresh cold water (on a small pebble, by the way, paid -5 kunas). The territory is clean, there are several bars (in the evenings animators "lit" there), rental of tennis rackets, ping-pong, bicycles. There are some activities for children, but we didn't use them. The unfinished (or abandoned) hotel buildings in the depths of the peninsula spoiled the impression a little.
The hotel itself consists of several buildings connected by passages. There are rooms 3 stars (comfort room) and 4 stars (premier room). We lived in a 3 star room on the first floor. The balcony overlooked the sea. The room has two beds, bedside tables, a table, an armchair (old), a mirror, bedside rugs are also old and tiny. The curtains are dark, some kind of rubberized (probably for ease of cleaning). On the balcony there is a white plastic table and two chairs, a clothesline. The room has a TV (shows the first channel), a ceiling fan, no air conditioning. There are some dirty brown spots on the ceiling. In a small hallway there is a wardrobe and a mirror. The bathroom is combined, quite decent, only spiders on the ceiling and behind the toilet, there is a hairdryer. In my opinion, the front door in the room and the doors inside need to be replaced - they seem to be made from an old table.
Meals 2-time buffet, repeated after a few days, but quite varied and satisfying. For breakfast, omelettes, vegetables, salads, sausage, cheeses, ham, sausages, muesli, coffee, juices, hot chocolate, milk, yogurt, croissants, jams, pies, fruits, pancakes. For dinner, fish, chicken, rice, potatoes, pasta, meat, vegetables, salads, watermelons, melons, 2 types of soup, sweets. Drinks are paid, expensive (mineral water with gas 0.5 l 14 kunas, and in the city 7 kunas). Tables are set both indoors and on the terrace overlooking the sea (very beautiful and romantic view! ).

The staff is polite, the reception speaks very little Russian, the waiters are a little better. The maids could clean up a little better and a little earlier, and not at 13-14 hours, when you come from the sea and want to relax. Towels changed regularly
(need to be thrown on the floor), and bed linen for 10 days never.
There is a swimming pool with a retractable roof, there are a lot of people, children. Under the pool sauna, massage (extra charge). I didn’t like it very much in the pool - I had to take off my shoes before entering, and inside the floors are wet and everyone walks barefoot (not very nice).
For 3 stars, 2 meals a day, paid drinks for dinner, not very new rooms - still, in my opinion, a little expensive. But, in general, despite some disadvantages, one could come here again (the first line, the cleanest sea and air, calmness, safety), but maybe take a 4-star room. This is a quiet, noisy discos, family hotel.
