Maistra Select All Suite Island Hotel Istra

Maistra Select Family Hotel Amarin

"This is well equipped as a children's play hotel, ideal for young children and parents. However there are no real facilities or comfortable areas for adults, especially at this time of year. Neither are there many comfortable areas for families of differing ages to relax together and chat. The feel of the hotel is similar to living within a children's nursery facility. It does that really well. Transport out of the resort into the town is limited. Prior to 30th September there is an occasional free bus, a chargeable land train & chargeable boat. After that there is no free bus and no boat. The land train is also mainly full, leaving a taxi the only option at €20 one way. This was not made clear to us at the time of booking, or even on 30th September whilst in the resort, which was annoying. At the end of September various services at the hotel were reduced and advance notice of this would have been beneficial. Generally the service was just about ok, not especially helpful or friendly. The quality of the food is fresh and good, if rather repetitive. There is 1 child friendly bar area and the dining experience is chaotic and whilst totally child friendly is also disappointing if you are expecting a more usual adult or family mealtime. There was no evidence of any la carte restaurants. The hotel is very clean and well kept, in extensive grounds with two pebble beaches. There are various swimming pools indoor and out, catering for all ages and abilities that are attractive and well maintained."

"Left after a week feeling hugely disappointed for a number of reasons below: Staff - Some lovely staff but largely I found the staff to be unfriendly and unhelpful. The man who runs the pool gift shop, is just downright rude. Accommodation - We stayed in the superior Family with Sea views. But be aware, you may not end up with this when booking a superior family home, most actually are set back from sea and hidden in trees, marketing for these homes is misleading that all will have sea views. Internal space is tiny in living areas, luckily the terrace is substantial to spill out on . Facilities in mobile - Very poor, in other up market campsites we have had Nespresso machine to have a nice coffee, you only get a drip coffee maker in mobile. The biggest issue however was there was no bbq or plancha outside for cooking. I have never seen this in all my years touring campsites in Europe. I think in part to try to force people not to cook in their accommodation and use over priced restaurants Pool area - Very chaotic, either no life guard at all or when there was ONE, he sat 30 yards away from pool at back sitting area with no real view of pool. He was largely on his phone so didn't seem to care much at all. on 1st of July they brought in a policy that you must pay for your sun loungers by the pool! I had payed EUR 2,500 to stay in a nice campsite with good facilities, and now was being told that I had to pay an additional cost of EUR8 per bed to look after my children by the pool. I complained dto reception and was told it was because it was getting too busy. The reason it was too busy is there was no monitoring of who was using the facility, you were supposed to be gaining entry to poll area by using and electronic bracelet to get through security gates. The security gates either did not work or were removed completely, so I saw 60/70% of people in pool without bands. But campsite would not care as long as people are there spending money in bar and restaurants. Restaurants - Extremely expensive - no kids menu at all - EUR 5 for soft drinks, main courses generally EUR26 Evening Entertainment - We were there during Euros football, so that was prioritsed on screen. Nights where there was entertainment, it was very quiet and poorly attended again because people didn't want to pay expensive prices for a drink. Super market - Only open limited hours, closed at 2-3pm . Again seemed to be sest up to force people to eat in restaurants, and drink in bars. Why else would a supermarket be closed during peak dining hours?! A couple of positives - Campsite is in beautiful setting, beaches and landscaping are very well maintained. Kids games room is excellent - new PS5's and Nintendo switches to play on. But be warned kids need to share there console with others in same accommodation, even when it is quiet and 60% of consoles are free. Will not be returning. Urge others to look elsewhere! or do what it seemed a lot of others do, go to a cheaper"

"Ужасный опыт! Мы были там в последнюю неделю июня, двое взрослых и двое детей, заплатили 2300 евро, и это еще ничего! Но, по крайней мере, вы предоставили обещанные услуги. На пляже не было шезлонгов и зонтиков. Когда мы бронировали, мы спрашивали, и нас заверили, что шезлонги и зонтики есть, но нет. Те, кому достался самый свободный шезлонг, там выживают, не говоря уже о бассейнах, за которые мы заплатили. Они даже потрудились снять ручки со всех зонтиков, опасаясь, что ими воспользуются. Если вам нужен зонтик, нужно идти на ресепшн, где температура не превышает 40 градусов, с сумками полотенец – далеко ходить точно не хочется. Так что даже там повезло тем, кому достался бесплатный шезлонг. Надувные аттракционы в воде платные, в других курортах бесплатные. Для детей взяли два рожка мороженого (по 2 шарика на человека в рожке) за 10 евро, не говоря уже о пицце на вынос: 4 пиццы, две «Маргариты» и две «Грибные», почти 60 евро и два часа ожидания. Рынок с безумными ценами. Мы жили в передвижных домах, о них и говорить нечего, чисто и с кондиционером. Мы выбрали этот курорт, потому что здесь можно приезжать с собаками, но мы точно туда больше не вернемся!"
