"We were in the Plava Laguna / Stella Maris again at the end of August this year. Apart from the prices due to the euro, nothing has changed in terms of the things we criticized. Positive: The resort is really big and offers a lot, it's good if you've been there before and know most of it, because you have to ask about some things beforehand. Childcare, entertainment program, shopping, bike rental, Pummelzug, sports, climbing park....other shopping within driving distance, countless bars, restaurants, a small bakery, various beaches and moorings as well as several pools. The complex is nicely designed and walks from the resort to Umag are also possible. If you're not too fussy, you can have a great time here, but this year I want to go into things that you should pay attention to, hence this somewhat "fussy" explanation ;-) Most of the rooms are probably already "shabby" but we're not in a showroom here. Opinions differ here, it really depends on which rooms, apartments, bungalows or villas you rent. Some accommodations lack space, some are big enough. Some smell bad, some are problem-free - - some are less well equipped, some have everything, which does not mean that there is not a defective device. What do I have to watch out for?? The boiler (which is not always in the bathroom) has to be activated using a light switch for hot water. There is a sticker in the room with a QR code, which leads to a page on Plava Laguna, where you can set whether you need a cleaning service or towels, etc. Take a power distributor with you, there are not many sockets, no adapter necessary. If you have children or need a lot of equipment on the beach, take a handcart with you - it works wonders ;-) There are loungers and parasols at the main pool (by the children's pirate ship). Unfortunately, most of the parasols are a disgrace, some are defective, some do not fit with the posts or the height fixation is broken. They are dirty and often the ends of the fabric no longer stick to the umbrella (we recommend using clothespins to fix them in place). We also took our own parasol and two smaller ones with clips. Some of the loungers are partially broken or very dirty - it is a mystery to me why they are not replaced when there are countless better loungers that are stacked up and linked together - see photo ATTENTION: It is still a mystery where and for which guests the loungers and umbrellas are free, and at which points money is charged again, please inform us in good time. There is a "sports center" behind the buffet at the main pool (Luka Port harbor) where pedal boats, jet skis, etc. are offered, unfortunately you are not treated friendly there most of the time (we have heard many"

"I was staying with my family for 6 nights in 2 Amfora apartments 4+2. I live in The Netherlands and my sister in Croatia. For my sister and her family were apartments great, as for Croatian standards they are good but from my own view is that they are not 4 stars as advertised ( I travel a lot). They were very clean on the arrival but they look run down. Be aware that daily cleaning is not included in the price but they do provide daily clean towels, toilet paper, sheets if needed. Everything looks cheap and old but I have paid a very resonable price so on the end I wouldn't say that is overpriced but maybe in the high season is diffrent. There were enough pots and pans, beds are good, fridge doesn't have a freezer part. There is a filter coffee machine, kettle and a tosti maker. Wifi is very bad ( please improve) , my own mobile connection was also bad when cloudy so good wifi is essential. There is a TV but there were no channels availble at first. My sister needs TV so we complained, a friendly repair man promissed to fix it and the next day we had all channels- puno hvala! Resort is beautiful and very well kept, apartments are less beautiful but if you report that something is dysfunctional they come very quickly to fix it. Service is overal very good, staff are kind and helpful, because of the service I would probably stay here again although I was not so happy with apartment."
