Excellent
We have just returned home this weekend after spending a week at The Laguna Gran Vista. This has got to be the best holiday we have taken, ok so there are mountains of steps to climb and the place isnt overly wheelchair/pushchair friendly, however the hotel itself is clean comftable and offers excelent value for money. We hope to visit again soon!

Lovely country
Very clean, comfortable hotel with friendly restaurant and bar staff. Wide range of good quality food, fish, meat, vegetables and deserts - plenty of fresh fruit.
The Croatian people made us feel welcome wherever we went.
For a special meal try Cardo fish restaurant in the lovely old town of Porec, excellent food, service and local wines.Explore the tiny alleys for restaurant/bars like Ante.
Lots of stairs up to and in the hotel but they're good for burning off the calories!

Steps!!!!
Arrived at hotel with thermometer showing 35C at 6pm to be confronted with lots of steps and a 150yard uphill slope to the hotel entrance. Electric doors open just as you are right on top of them and think they are broken. Reception is impressive lots of new leather setees and seats and Air Conditioning. More steps to get to rooms, making this hotel very unfriendly to disabled, elderly etc. Rooms to the back of the hotel look onto a steep grass bank and a quirky glass church which the seagulls use for target practise day and night. Rooms to the front have a balcony and impressive seaview looking West to watch spectacular sunsets.
Beds , seats wardrobes etc are fine with plenty of mirrors to create an impression of a larger room. Air Con unit is not powerful and we left it on constantly on full blast to get any relief.
Ensuite is probably worst layout I have come accross- Shower is nigh on impossible to get in without brushing against toilet, try getting out with wet feet and it is ...Read more

Highs and lows
This hotel had it's good points and bad ones. We arrived at 6pm and after sitting on a coach for 1 hour and 45 minutes in very hot temperatures had to drag our luggage up stairs and along a very long steep path. Once in the hotel again we had to carry our luggage up stairs. The air conditioning was not very good and we found it very hard to sleep at night. The showers are very
dangerous because you have to literally climb over the toilet to get into it. There is a pool which has signs at the side of it stating that no diving, playing with balls or taking glasses to the pool are allowed but no one stuck to these rules and the staff did not seem to care. It's not a place for anyone in a wheelchair because you cannot get to the hotel without having to climb stairs.
Now the good points. The food was very good we were half board, there was a great choice of breakfasts and the food was very well prepared. The evening meal was very good there was a fantastic choice of meals, no one rushed ...Read more

Great experience
Great! We relaxed totally from the moment we arrived to the moment we left and the hotel was a great place to be based. The hotel is part of a purpose built holiday village accomodating everything from people camping to those wanting a hotel. There are a number of hotels and and a few bars all within a couple of minutes walk. It's very pictueresque throughout the site and nicely spread out. We thought the food was great. I usually don't like eating at the hotel, but as it was overlooking the beautiful 'lagoon' in a bay it was amazing to watch the sun setting (awesome) whilst eating a wide variety of food. There was choice for meat eaters, fish lovers and vegetatians alike. Moving on, there are lots of steps, however once at the top the view is wonderful. Also, there is a porter that can carry your bags for you if you like. A room with a sea view and balcony is recommended as with any holiday. There are loads of watersports within ten minutes walk (near hotel Delfin) and to get to them ...Read more
