Your Croatia - Views & Opinions

Honeymoon in Montenegro and Cavtat

We had a fantastic trip and think we were quite lucky with the weather - just a couple of cloudy days. We thought the landscape of Montenegro was very pretty but we were abit disappointed by the 2 nearest towns and proximity to Budva. The beach beyond our private beach wasn't nice and the walk to Budva wasn't pleasant so we just got taxis. Our rep said the only day trip was 4 hrs away so as we were only there for a few days we just made the most of the hotel which we did really enjoy. There was a conference on but apart from the delegates it was pretty empty - out of season I guess. But we enjoyed the 5 star treatment which was a novelty for our honeymoon - waiter service on the private beach and pool-side, turn-down with chocolates etc, spa treatments and facilities, the outdoor pools were great and the bedrooms and bathrooms were nice. So we were glad we chose the Hotel Splendid. As for Croatia, as you know we had stayed in Hotel Croatia in Cavtat before and it didn't disappoint. Apart from the bedrooms being pretty outdated and the building itself is a block of concrete, we loved the pools, swimming & dining right beside the sea, restaurants, views of Cavtat and the staff were really friendly! Everything was so cheap in Croatia compared to Montenegro. Thank you again for all your help deciding. We would definitely use you again and recommend you to our friends and family. :)

Istria

Hi Sharon, We had a wonderful relaxing holiday in beautiful Croatia. We flew to Pula and arrived in our first destination Lovran late at night where we were greeted by the warm and welcoming lady who owned the apartment we were staying in. After offering us to share a drink with her she very kindly took us on a short tour of the small historical town of Lovran with its narrow streets and beautiful buildings. There was a lovely atmosphere and in the restaurants locals made a great effort to converse with us. Our accommodation was full of old world charm and everything was to a very high standard and we were made feel most welcome. We spent just one day there exploring the lovely coast. I think it is a really relaxing sedate place appealing to perhaps a more middle aged group as opposed to teenagers. We then moved on to the the area of Porec which most certainly did not disappoint! We stayed in the beautiful Villamar Diamonte Hotel which was fabulous. Set in a lush woodland area the hotel had everything you could wish for and the sheer array of delicious food was just amazing. There were both indoor and outdoor pools and the because of the coastal setting there was ample interesting parts to frequent. There were lots of water sports available and this was a lively place for young and old. The weather was lovely while we were there and the bustling town of Porec was only a 15 minute walk away with its markets and lovely restaurants. It is a beautiful picturesque place with spectacular scenery and a huge Italian influence in its arquitecture and its food. It offered everything you could possibly wish for and I have no hesitation in saying that we had a lovely relaxing enjoyable holiday! We found the Croatian people to be very welcoming friendly and hospitable and the Adriatic Coast proved to be a delight! Kind regards,

Hot Korcula and fabulous Hotel Uvala

Hi Maja, We had a great holiday. Korcula was great. Very hot. Lapad was really lovely. Bit cooler than Korcula which was nice. Hotel Uvala was fabulous. Great food, lovely staff. Got a room on third floor with balcony and sea-view which was great. Would definitely stay there again. Uvala was so nice and convenient to all the facilities of Lapad. And the bus stops for Dubrovnik were outside the front door which was great. Anyway it was a great holiday, Maja and we just wanted to say thanks.

Unspoilt beauty of Mljet's National Park.

Sharon Mljet was just beautiful very quiet at night no night life as such, hotel was very basic but was ok for price we paid a little more expensive than mainland croatia due to fact it was an island and everything was brought in by boat the journey over was a bit of a tour, a two hour car trip and then an hour by boat but we enjoyed not for the faint hearted. Not sure about families, we spent most days in national park which was just beautiful you could swim in lake, lovely walks and take some trips by boat again not sure if enough of activities for younger people. Lovely swimming place beside hotel with plenty of sun beds and the water was so clear and blue, would go back in the morning:!!! if you like quiet, relaxing and plenty of nature just lovely, keep me in mind if there are any cheap deals in September , October Thanks again for your help in finding Mljet
