Maistra Select Island Hotel Istra

Just perfect weekend. Staff was kind, food delicious and better plages then anywhere else in whole Istria

L'hôtel situé sur un ile, l'endroit très charmant, beaucoup de choses à faire sur ile ou dans le ville de Rovijn, on peut rester sur ile il y a de resto sur place, mais le soir la ville est magnifique! On a adoré les paysages, l'hôtel comme une oasis ! A recommander vivement!

Wróciłem we wtorek 24 maja - co za sielankowe miejsce. Cudowny przyjazny personel, czyste pokoje i duży wybór na śniadanie i na wieczorny posiłek. Duży basen z mnóstwem leżaków, ale postanowiłem poszukać spokojnego miejsca do leżenia / siedzenia, które jest wiele rozsiane po całej wyspie. Chcę tylko podziękować personelowi hotelu, który zorganizował butelkę musu, która została w naszym pokoju, życząc mi wszystkiego najlepszego. Nigdy o tym nie wspominaliśmy i musieli się zorientować, kiedy zabrali mi dane paszportowe. Cóż za piękny gest!

Mieszkaliśmy w części All Suite hotelu. Mieliśmy ładny pokój z przylegającym salonem, balkonem i widokiem na morze. Było czysto i bardzo przyjemnie. Wliczone jest również bardzo dobre śniadanie w formie bufetu i gotowane. Wyspa jest spokojna, piękna i relaksująca, więc jeśli chcesz po prostu odpocząć na jednej z wielu kamienistych plaż, jest to idealne miejsce. Prom do iz wyspy jest bezpłatny, a na kontynencie znajduje się parking. Jedyną rozczarowującą cechą była restauracja a la carte, personel i obsługa były doskonałe, ale jedzenie było bardzo rozczarowujące i za drogie, nie polecam tam jedzenia. W sumie mieliśmy niesamowity relaksujący czas.

Spędziliśmy tu cudowne dwa tygodnie. Na wyspach jest coś wyjątkowego, tak spokojnego i relaksującego. Pracownicy byli bez wyjątku niesamowici, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Larisy, która rozwiązała dla nas problem z uprzejmością i wydajnością. Wspaniałe jedzenie z dużym wyborem. Jedyną muchą w maści były źle wychowane dzieci, nienadzorowane przez rodziców i uderzające w dorosłe miejsca, całkowicie rujnując spokój. Gdyby to byli tylko dorośli, byłby to raj na ziemi.

Zatrzymaliśmy się pod koniec października, hotel był prawie pełny, ponieważ cena była bardzo niska. Wellness w hotelu był niesamowity, basen i sauny były bardzo czyste i nowoczesne. Cena napojów jest trochę wysoka dla miejscowych, ale w porządku. Śniadanie było solidne, ale kolacja jest niesamowita. Personel był bardzo miły i profesjonalny. Szczególnie wielkie podziękowania dla dziewczyny w recepcji spa Sary. Wracamy ponownie.

We went with TUI. The coach dropped us off at the side of the dock. You give your name into a Reception desk then wait for the blue ferry to arrive at 30 mins past the hour. You past your cases to the crew at a back door on the ferry then make your way up the gang plank. It is free so ignore signs showing prices. At the other end, you go straight into the hotel and check in to Reception. In the meanwhile the hotel staff take the suitcases from the ferry and leave them in reception for you to take to your room. The rooms are so small but adequate. The bathroom is dated with a shower over a bath. The hairdryer is old but workable. The air-conditioning is good. The beds and large pillow are comfortable enough. The balcony is small but suffice for 2 people. There is a mini bar which is filled with items to pay for. There is no iron. There is tea and coffee sachets and then you pay for refills. There are toiletries in the bathroom, i persume that they replace them but took my own anyway. The sea view is spectacular. The Island is beautiful. Walking around both is approximately 5000 steps. The fresh air is amazing, it is a fusion of clean sea air meets pine trees. We did aqua aerobics in the sea water pool everyday, it was only cold as you got in. There was ample sun loungers with a few people reserving them. The sea is warm and safe to swim in. The animation team was more geared up towards the kids which was fine by us. There was not much in regards to entertainment apart from some singers in the outside bar. All the waiters in the bars and staff in the hotel are pleasant and helpful, we couldn't fault them. The food at breakfast and evening meal were buffets with plenty of choice and places to sit. I just wish that they had a smoking section. Being a non smoker, I wanted to enjoy my meal in the fresh air but then someone would decide to have a smoke after their meal, which they are entitled to do but it would have been good to have smoking/ non smoking areas. There is a mini bar in the room, we emptied it and put our own milk in it. Take your own tea, coffee & sugar for the room as they charge you to replace it. Also, they ran out of breakfast tea so it was good that we brought out own. Would I recommend it? Yes definitely.

We stayed here as a family of four (2 adults and two teenagers) and loved our stay. The island is beautiful and the ground are very well maintained. Lots of choice with water sports and we enjoyed a sunset dolphin tour also. We booked half board and the buffet at both breakfast and dinner offered a wide selection with various specials of an evening. It was very handy when you couldn’t be bothered to get the boat to Rovinj. We ate in a few of the restaurants for lunch and the food was good and decent sized portions. We also had a drink in one of the bars most nights - the drinks were expensive compared to Rovinj however the Captains Bar had great views especially (don’t forget mosquito spray!). The pools and beach areas were well maintained and there was never a shortage of sun loungers. There were various aqua fit classes and kids mini discos etc however these were not intrusive if you weren’t joining in. The staff were all lovely and helpful, especially reception and those on the buffet restaurant reception. The only criticism would be that the rooms, whilst clean and a decent size, and the bathrooms, could do with some modernisation. Glass instead of wall on the balconies would be great also, to enjoy the amazing sea views. I would def recommend this hotel, take a sea view room and Rovinj itself is stunning.

The hotel has some pros and cons, that said we enjoyed our holiday. Setting is lovely, good pool area and the free ferry over to Rovinj always on time… Rovinj is fabulous. We were pleased with the cleanliness of hotel, rooms and public areas we used. Buffet breakfast suited us and set us up for day esp as we love a more continental style breakfast . We actually took a couple of Dinner buffets too and were rather pleased with them. Plenty of choice and good variety of meat/fish/ veg/salads oh n lovely cakes and ice cream. Must comment on a lovely welcome from Natalija at buffet welcome area… Hvala! The buffet teams work hard but not all of them friendly, appreciate it is busy for them. Loved Captains Club, had a few nights of good Duo entertainers too! Beach Bar relaxing as well and all staff at these 2 were very friendly… Karlov stood out here! Finally best coffee made in Pool bar by Andrija (i think), always a smile! Hvala vam to you all! The room attendants always greeted us as we passed in the hallways too. Our room was on 3rd floor above the spa so the noise of jacuzzi bubbling up when door open was not so peaceful and no real view, just a few trees but mostly other rooms opposite. So balcony not really used. The aircon is pre set by hotel and not good at all! Lowest it would go is 25 to 26 degrees… not ideal during a rather hot spell. Made sleeping tough on a menopausal woman!! The cost of drinks are more expensive than mainland but not by a huge amount. A few updates on rooms and bathrooms(hairdryer not good and I have short hair!!!) would be welcome. Thanks for a nice break.
