    The breakfast wasn’t bad, but all the week it was the same, absolutely no changes. That’s annoying. The lit was too soft for us. I guess there are people who like this kind of the lits; the benefit it was huge. I’d like to have some coffee or tea making facilities at the room.

    The location is very good, maybe the best in Novalja. It’s at the end of the town, with the perfect view from the window. Safe parking. Amazing outdoor pool with the sea view. The massage was at the highest level. Highly recommend.

    It’s a great place to stay while visiting pag island. We had just one night booked but decided to extended as we were very happy with the facilities. The rooms was very clean, we had everything we needed and we could also watch sunset from the balcony which was extra bonus. The staff was kind, welcoming and happy which made us feel great around them. The breakfast had a lot of options and we enjoyed swimming pool and sauna again with beautiful view.

    The only odd thing was that there were no Croatian staff members, so the overall experience felt like being in a completely different country. As for the saunas, not all of them are operational or properly heated—you need to book in advance, but even then, they aren't fully functional.

    The rooms are clean, tidy, and a good size. The hotel is lovely and met our expectations. The view from the hotel terrace is stunning, and we recommend having dinner at the hotel.

    It is good that the hotel has storage for bicycles and is possible to charge electric bikes. However, the storage place for bikes is far from the entrance and requires assisentce from staff for every use, which is a bit inconvenient.

    Big room, good breakfast, friendly staff. Beautiful terraca, dining and pool area with a great sunset view.

    It was absolutely perfect. We had a great stay at the hotel, it's very clean everywhere, the room was beautiful and so was the bathroom. It was quiet so we sleep very well since the bed was really comfortable. The waiter and waitress at the restaurant were very lovely and the food is really good. The spa and the pool are also amazing. My husband also had a massage which was incredible !

    A Truly Unforgettable Stay – Our Second Visit and Still Perfect!

    This was our second time staying at this beautiful hotel, and once again, it was absolutely perfect! We loved it so much last year that we couldn’t resist coming back – and we’re so glad we did. The hotel is stunning, with a beautiful, clean pool that’s perfect for relaxing. The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. Every corner of the hotel is spotless and well-maintained. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. A very special thank you to the owner, who made our stay extra special. She was so kind to me and my family – warm, thoughtful, and truly generous. She even surprised us with a massage for two, which was such a lovely and relaxing treat. This hotel has become a very special place for us, and we’ll definitely be back again. If you're looking for beauty, peace, and genuine hospitality, this is the perfect place to stay!

    The beds - they were way too soft, even after the staff put an additional layer on top of the matress. Also, there is a constant animal noises from the near by trees, but at least the rooms are equiped with triple classes windows.

    Nobody spoke Croatian. I do not have a problem with English, but imagine walking into a hotel in Tuscany were nobody spoke Italian. How would Italian guests react to this?! Also, I do not have a problem with energy saving, and saunas not being operational when empty but the person you need to ask to turn them on has a sign "Be right back" most of the day. All in all, the staff seems a little detached from the guests. Dinner at the restaurant was ok and we had the same dish two nights in a row, but it was prepared very differently each time for reasons unkown.

    Clean. Location was excellent - quiet and green surroundings. Pools and spa. Not crowded at breakfast, at dinner nor at the pool. New and modern rooms. Breakfast and dinner selection was moderate but all that was offered was of good quality.
