Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera ★★★★★

"We spent a few nights at Falkensteiner Resort Iadera in Punta Skala and, overall, it was a lovely stay. The location, the rooms, the spa and the food were all excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful whenever we reached them. A few things kept it from being a five-star experience for us, and they all come down to one theme: information. On arrival we received no overview of the restaurants, opening hours, check-out procedure or the additional services available. We repeatedly had to ask when breakfast or dinner ends, when the bistro bar, fitness centre and spa are open, and whether there was any evening programme or daily news worth knowing about. Each of these questions meant a walk to the reception – where, even in low season, we more than once found ourselves in a queue for something that could have been answered in ten seconds. What made this stand out is that we had stayed at Falkensteiner Premium Camping Zadar just a few minutes down the road earlier this year, and there the exact opposite was true. All information – opening hours, restaurants, daily updates, questions to the team – came straight to our phones via WhatsApp. We never had to go to the reception for anything. It was one of the most relaxed holiday set-ups we've experienced. Given that both properties belong to the same group, it was surprising that Iadera doesn't offer the same. We'd happily return – and we'd be delighted if next time the information found us, rather than the other way round."

Hotel Pinija ★★★★

"We spent three wonderful and relaxing nights at this hotel. We'd especially like to highlight the excellent and well-trained staff. Their professional hospitality, friendliness, and expertise significantly contributed to making us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. The rooms are simply and functionally furnished, yet very clean and well-maintained. Our only criticism is the sliding door to the bathroom and toilet, which didn't close completely and left a relatively large gap. This is a bit inconvenient when two people are sharing the room and should ideally be improved. The hotel's location, nestled in the beautiful pine forest, is extremely pleasant and quiet. Although breakfast naturally had more activity, the hotel never felt overcrowded overall. The buffet was continuously and quickly refilled, ensuring there was always ample selection. The food was genuinely good overall. It was clear that many dishes were prepared in-house. Both the appetizers and main courses were varied, fresh, and delicious. We only see room for improvement with the dessert buffet: many of the cakes offered seemed like pre-made products. Occasionally, there was a cream or another dessert, but more homemade desserts would significantly enhance the culinary offerings. Given what the kitchen is capable of with the other dishes, this would be a great way to take the entire F&B experience a big step forward. The clientele at the hotel was also very pleasant. The sea and the surrounding area are beautiful, and there's a lot on offer for children. The trampoline, playgrounds, snorkeling, and other leisure activities were particularly enjoyable. Overall, it was a very pleasant and successful stay. Many thanks to the management and the entire team for the lovely time and excellent service. We would gladly come again!"

Falkensteiner Residences Senia ★★★★

"While the location is nice, the towel policy is a major flaw. We were shocked to find out that fresh towels were not provided daily. We had to use the same damp, sandy towels for our whole trip unless we wanted to pay an exorbitant fee for a clean set. This is a basic amenity that should be included, especially at these prices. It made our stay feel cheap and unhygienic."

Falkensteiner Luxury Villas Punta Skala ★★★★★

"amazing location on the Adriatic sea. bring water shoes as the coast is rocky but totally worth the effort to get into the water. Hotel food was phenomenal, fresh and seemed limitless."
