Maistra Select Amarin Resort

I have been holidaying for the past 25 years to various countries and always research prior to booking, well what happened was the worst vacation my wife and i have ever had, we arrived on the Thurs lunch time and attempted to book in, there was only 1 receptionist trying to book in up to 300 Croatian men on a convention, the poor receptionist had no help and each person she was dealing with was booking in a coach load, eventually it was my turn and was told i would have to wait 2 hours as our room wasn't ready! as the weekend progressed all was well and on the Monday morning many hundreds of 15-16 yr olds arrived and all hell was let loose! unfortunately we had a group above our apartment and at the back of our apartment and the noise was deafening, that night and until we left we had to call reception and security every night as the noise would start at 8pm and last till 1.30-2.am each morning, each time a teacher arrived it would be silence for 5-10 minutes then all partying would resume, this lasted the 3 remaining nights with no intervention from either teachers or so called security, both parties were very poor and no consideration for my wife and i, for a holiday that should of been a relaxing break was a nightmare of the worst kind. Please do not offer me a free holiday as we would never again return to this Resort.

A pleasant family resort with apartments and a campsite. The surroundings are nicely arranged, clean and maintained. The resort has 2 types of apartments, newer and older. We stayed in older apartments for 2+1 persons. The apartment is small and basically equipped with a small kitchen, a dining table and a bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped with kitchen utensils (opener, cutter, etc.). Glasses, plates, forks, etc. are exactly for the number of people per apartment (in our case for 3 people). The beds are not comfortable, they need a new yogi. The balcony is large and spacious. The cleanliness of the apartment is very poor. The cleaners are constantly going around the apartments, but the cleanliness in the room is very, very bad. If we had at least a broom in our apartment, we could sweep yourself. The balcony was not swept even once during the whole week (we had a storm on the second day of our stay and it was like that until we left). Towels are changed as needed every day. Change of bed linen once a week. The staff is very polite and friendly, but not very dedicated to work (not all of them, of course). The resort has a restaurant that offers buffet breakfast and dinner. They offer a wide variety of food like cold food, front kitchen, fruits, desserts, etc. but the food offering is a bit boring as it only changes a little daily. The basis is chicken, potatoes and pizza (in different ways) - every day. Of course, you can also get soup, fish and other meat, pasta, etc. The food tastes like a canteen, tasteless and poorly prepared. My opinion is that the value/quality is very poor. There are few parking spaces next to the apartments, so cars park right on the green and next to the road - which is not allowed. A large number of parking spaces are located a short distance from the apartments. All bars in the resort are open until 19:00. After this hour, only the main bar under the restaurant remains open. Animation is organized there in the evenings. Getting a table requires patience and a quick "jump" to the table. The animation for children is very good and there is a large offer (video games, mini golf, water animation, etc...) The animators are hardworking and resourceful. I think that for a resort with 4* and a rather high price of accommodation, the quality of the offer is very poor.

When a property advertises itself to appear to be a resort with spa services and you arrive and find out it’s a glorified campground and they put you in an apartment block style instead of a room with a balcony, there should be repercussions. Instead, we left a day early because we were so disappointed and we’re not not able to get our money back even though they falsely presented themselves. That being said if I was pulling up with my tent in a campground in the camping area I would’ve been OK. The service and the people who worked there are very nice, but the whole property were complete disappointment. The apartment we stayed in was dated, and I felt like I was in an old tired Bubuilding.

We visited the place for a day and we were really satisfied: the beach is amazing, the facilities are completely equipped and everything is fully prepared. The only thing we did not like was the waiters: they lack basic language knowledge and as a result we got a different food than we ordered because the waiter misunderstood it. Otherwise the place is really cool and totally recommend it, especially for families.
