Hotel Umag Plava Laguna

The room was initially infested with mosquitoes. I mean dozens, which was unusual. We spent the first two days disinfecting it, repeatedly. The first day, the room wasn't cleaned. The second day, it was, but not the bathroom. On the third day, it was already 3 PM, and I had to ask for someone to clean it up, despite the "Please make the room" sign that had been hanging since 9 AM. The bathroom flooded twice, with water coming out of the floor drain. We called a plumber, but the next day we were back to square one. We solved the problem by taking very short showers and using towel barriers on the floor. The toilet is too small to fit if you're taller than 120 cm (see photo). No bidet. The balcony overlooked a landfill for all five days (see photo). Dust and cobwebs falling from the ceiling. Strange stains on the phones (see photo), and everything else, which were cleaned on the fourth day by accident. The exhaust from the kitchen vented through the suspended ceiling of our bathroom: it felt like we were staying in a deli. The hotel lobby was crowded with chairs so tightly packed you couldn't even get through, lit by so much neon lighting it looked like a hospital waiting room. But the worst thing was the food in the restaurant, both for breakfast and dinner. 4 stars?? The food was worse than a company cafeteria: the seemingly wide selection of food was always 80% chicken, pasta, and potatoes, all cooked poorly. Any meat or fish was overcooked, rubbery, and tough. The scrambled eggs were a hard, dry omelette, broken into pieces. The pancakes looked like coasters. They didn't even know that salt is added to the pasta's cooking water, and that it shouldn't be cooked for 20 minutes... The pizza was raw. The cheeses and cured meats were worse than those at the discount store. The wine... let's draw a veil over it. The pie, reheated eight times, was as hard as wood. The shark was overcooked, like the sole of a shoe. The scorpion fish (or so I thought; there were almost never any labels, you ate blind) was just bones, and since it was overcooked... they wandered freely in the shapeless mass. The fried chicken was completely inedible, like wood. The meatballs bounced (I swear). The freshly made fritters were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The cevapcici, parmigiana, and omelette cooked on the spot that morning were decent. Too little. I've stayed in many other hotels everywhere and always had a good experience, so it's not that I have particularly delicate tastes. This is indecent, light years away from any of my other experiences. Embarrassing.

Zum ersten und einzigen Mal an der Poolbar gewesen. Kaum ein Essen aus der Karte verfügbar und das was verfügbar ist, ist eine 5 mit Ausrufezeichen. Kalt, ungewürzt, teuer und noch dazu eine kleine Portion! Kann ich nicht empfehlen! Achja hier nur cash only.
