Istrian Villas Plava Laguna

Great: daily room service, nice villa, gas grill possibility, perfect sport activities around the whole village, great pool bars with nice beverages and menus, kids club and mini disco every evening

Lovely place. Very nice rooms. Clean. Service minded staff. We will definitely come back to this place.

The apartment was not clean, the fence door was broken, there was no room service anyday. The kitchen equipment is very poor and there is nothing to be used for washing the dishes. Many things were also broken on the bathroom. The public areas are also not in the best condition, my husband felt on the beach, the stairs were not clean and it was extremely slippery. You also don't have much privacy in the terrace, villas are very close to each other. The staff is not particularly friendly and helpful, many bars and estaurants are closed or low on staff. Not worth the price at all!!

Stayed only one night in this property and we learned it was the last night of the season. The whole village closed the next day for the winter.

Nice hotel, the main picture is a bit 'enhanced' when it comes to water clarity and the glorious deep blue - water is still clear and nice, but you cannot really go for a swim in front of villas, it's too rocky. We tried 3 restaurants - O Grill was good (the waiters might put more smile on their faces :), Laguna simple pizza place, was good. But Stella Maris all you can eat buffet, opened only for b-fast and dinner was a nightmare. We tried dinner there once - crowds of people, line-ups, screaming, running kids, no, thank you. Price was 105 kuna per person. Suggestion - instead of hours only 7-9pm, open like 5:30 pm to lessen the hordes of people! There were 2 sand beaches, couple with man-made entrance into the sea by ladders. We experienced some small cute jelly fish floating around in the mornings (non stinging!). The indoor pool, on top of numerous outdoor, was a definite plus. Our teenagers rented bikes and jet ski once as well. We went to Umag on a local little train that runs every 15 mins (20 kuna per person/ride). Overall really nice - and as I said, some staff could be more pleasant. One young man who drove us on the electrical car to our van remarked - "It's the older people who survived the war, they don't have much smile on their faces. Us, younger people, we have no problem." Thank you, young man, for being honest!
