Apartments Amfora Plava Laguna

"Last year we stayed at the Stella apt. As it was too small but we loved Stella Maris area we booked Amfora apt. According to Plava laguna website this was a 4 star accommodation. We paid a lot more than the last time. The pictures on the site only show the interior of the rooms and the outside of the little houses. However I was quite surprised when we were given an apt in the farthest building of apartments. It stated nowhere that it would be an apt. building and not a small house. But we said ok, we love the area, so we'll walk. The apt was stained, with ants running on the kitchen countertop, the bathroom looked old, there was duct tape in the bath, the hot water was not working, the TV was not working... We asked for the last two to be fixed, which they did. But they said that maybe the hot water will stop again as the boiler needs to be deep cleaned...The fan in the bathroom reeked so we didn't use it. This wasn't a 4 star we expected for the money. The food is good and the resort is nice but this experience really dissapointed us..."

"Depends on the season, it’s a bit quiet and a lot of ‘life’ is missing. That said, I enjoyed the quietness. It’s about 30 mins walk from the centre, it’s right by the seafront. There are little trains for people that can’t walk as far. We had the views by the port which was lovely when dinning outside. The apartment was decent as long as you don’t have high expectations. There’s a little supermarket for your essentials. One thing to note when you get off the airport at Puls our transfer took 2 hours to get there… they don’t tell you that on the travel agents websites!"

"They are not worth 4 stars. The design and furniture are very outdated. The bed was just a solid wooden board with a mattress. Only 1 bedroom has airconditioning so the second bedroom gets really uncomfortable. The water heater in the bathroom only has water for 2 people to shower briefly and lukewarm, the other people just had cold water. The taps were loose and not working properly. The airconditioning was completely clogged with dust. The stairs were loose which was very dangerous. In the kitchen is no oven but only a microwave and a toaster. The toaster was broken and after reporting this the broken one was picked up but we never got a new one. The barbecue on the balcony is not usable as it has no grates. We reported this by email and asked for a paid upgrade so we could enjoy our vacation but this turned out to be impossible as we booked through a travel agency? Sounds strange to me as they could have substracted the amount for the appartment. We were offerded a bungalow but this is just the same accomodation only on the ground floor so not an upgrade. The resort itself is tidy and there are lots of activities for children. All-in all we paid too much money for a disappointing vacation."
