Hotels near Ruinen bei Cervar Porat, Porec

My daughter and I have just spent 2 weeks here and can honestly say it is one of the best holidays we have ever had. The hotel is modern, very clean and has a welcoming feel about it. The rooms are a little small and only 2 people can sit on the balcony (very small) the bathrooms are modern with shampoo, shower gel and hairdryer available. Bathrobes and slippers provided. Mini bar and safe in the room. The food is amazing, loads of choice and good quality. It is the usual buffet/self serve and the dining room can get busy, but there are plenty of places to sit and the team ensure the tables are cleaned regularly. Drinks are expensive, approx €5.50 for a glass of wine amd €9 for a cocktail, that's the same everywhere I suppose these days. Supermarket and tourist information on site too with everything you need. On site gift shop, not much in there and never saw anyone in there either. ATM at the hotel, hairdressers and games room. The indoor pool is huge, with lovely sunbeds outside to relax on, jacuzzi, all very clean and relaxing. The beach is beautiful, pebbly so you will need some swim shoes. Sunbeds on the beach are payable €17 for 2 and an umbrella for the day. Beach towels are included and you can get clean ones each day. The watersports are reasonably priced, $12 for an hour paddleboarding, other things too like pedalos, kayak etc. The beach has a really relaxed feel about it, loads of grassy areas to sunbathe on too, some under the trees if you want shade. Novigrad town is a 10 minute walk away, really pretty with lots of shops, bars, restaurants. Nothing noisy, family orientated and chilled. There is a little road train that goes each way if you don't want to walk. The area feels safe, it is clean, very green, beautiful clear sea and bike hire available to get around to explore the sites. The cleaning team are lovely and work hard, the place was spotless! I would like to say a special thank you to Marko at the restaurant near the beach, he was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and we felt really well looked after. He should definitely be recognised by the management! I could go on and on, definitely worth a visit and hopefully we will be back very soon! Thanks Aminess Maestral team!

My sister got married in Croatia last August and myself and my family and many of the other wedding guests stayed in this hotel. We had an amazing time here!! The views were great, the food was great but the highlight of my stay had to do with the ever so friendly staff. To name a few, in the dinning area, Emilio, Alexandra, their colleague from Bosnia I forgot his name. Jovana and from front desk, Maria helped me a lot with organising appointments and so on. And the night time front desk staff, I believe he's from Serbia, he was very friendly and helpful too. I wish to see them all next time I visit. I regret that I am leaving this review a year late but I have not forgotten all the lovely smiles and the great service in the 9 days I stayed at your hotel. Hope you are all doing well!!! :) Lisa

We have been going to hotel Molindrio for 10 years with my parents and sister and are club members. Every year has been a great experience but that all changed this year. From the beginning the reception has told us every year that we are free to use the beach at hotel Parentium and we are also able to use the white chairs to lie down. We have been doing this ever since. This year we were approached by life guards at the beach asking us why we were using the white chairs if we are not guests of hotel Parentium, because this was not allowed. We explained that we have been doing this for years and had been told by the reception that this was not a problem because we were guests at the sister hotel Molindrio. When we made the reception aware of this altercation with the life guards they first claimed that these chairs were never offerd to us by the reception and that we were lucky that we had not been caught earlier for using these chairs ( which made us feel absolutely horrible, we just did what the reception has told us for years that we could do ), after we explained that we are not lying and have been guest for 10 years and have always been using these chairs they switched up the story and told us that there is a new management and there are new rules so we cannot use these chairs at the beach anymore ( so now we are not liars but the new director has given these orders, reception could have just told us this from the start instead of making us look like liars ). So we had to lie down on the concrete. My dad has a bad back and instead if a relaxing vacation his back got even worse from lying on the hard concrete with just a towel. Absolutely disgraceful! Furthermore the food this year was of very poor quality. The fruit they served was either rotten or without taste, which left us really feeling disappointed especially because we have been coming here for years and have always been so satisfied with the food. Needless to say we will not be coming back anymore after being treated this way. We are very disappointed.

We loved this little hotel! Only six rooms, but beautifully appointed, with a wonderfully attentive staff. The room was large, the bed quite comfortable, the bathroom also large and well designed; both the bedroom and bathroom had windows that opened so as to allow a nice cross-breeze and charming views. The restaurant serves only breakfast (included with the room) and a limited lunch menu, but both were very good, and the breakfast in particular quite ample. The village is very small and quiet; for those looking for nightlife in the off-season this is not the place. But for those looking for a lovely peaceful place to get away the village, and this hotel, are ideal.

I would give this a ”very good” for the property as it was nice and nicer than I expected. The room was equipped with a kitchenette and a really nice big balcony. I was there out of season so couldn't fully appreciate the balcony, but it was a nice outdoor space. What wasn't so good was the check-in process. I booked through **********, and on none of the communications was the name of the rental people (I forget their name now but it began with an A). I duly communicated or tried to communicate through ********** as requested. I explained that I was driving from Zagreb and would let them know when I landed so they knew when to expect me. At that point they made me aware that I would need to go to the office of the rental agency and then be taken to the property. It was dark by the time I arrived and the gateway was right off a main road onto a one way street, having been in the country 4 hours on my own in a hire car, this was not helpful. They didn't respond to the messages through ********** but had at no point given me their direct details which would have helped greatly. Eventually I had to phone a Croation phone number from my English phone (don't know what that's cost me) to be quite rudely asked ”where you are you then ? Did you not follow the instructions”. Which, yes I had, I just didn't know if I was in the right place or not. The chap was out delivering another couple to thir property and he told me to wait and he would come back for me. Which he duly did. I left the car at their office that first night as the parking was unclear. However the next day I was able to park near the property, so that was good. They would have come and got me again on checkout day if my car was at theirs. This did negatively impact my initial first impressions - when I said that if I had been given a bit more info it would have been fine and the chap said I should have googled it ?? But googled what ? The process works, but it would be so much better if everyone knew what was happening. I was then given their watsapp number, which is their phone number, but again, you only know that if you know ! THat made it much easier and I was able to message as I checked out. So, the property was nice, its a great location. I don't want to sound negative, but things need to be clearer - especially when using third party platforms.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with oversized balconies. The hotel has a variety of facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, gyms, SPA, etc., while looking at the sea and the forest, it is actually very suitable for a few days on vacation. We left for one night after visiting Rovinj and it was a pity

Yet another 5 star visit to this amazing hotel. The hotel is located in a bay with breath-taking views. It is a flat 20 minute walk along a well-lit, paved promenade to Rovinj Old Town passing the Marina and harbour on the way. There are lots of restaurants and bars in The Old Town catering for all food tastes and price ranges. The food is also excellent in the hotel. There was an amazing choice at breakfast and if you choose to eat in the hotel of an evening, the restaurant is excellent. The interior of the hotel is lovely and hotel rooms and bathroom are so spacious and, thanks to the housekeeping team, everything was very clean and well-kept. All the hotel staff were very friendly and polite and reception staff were extremely helpful, with a special mention to Monika. We loved our stay, we love the hotel and we love Rovinj!
