Eden Hotel by Maistra Collection

"This is a lovely hotel, we couldn’t fault it in anyway. Huge grounds set next to a national park where you can walk or cycle through the forest but be by the coast as well. You can walk into Rovinj about a 20min walk which is a lovely old town with lots of bars and restaurants. Swimming pools at hotel were amazing and the same depth all over, you can get towels at the pool. plenty of sun beds everywhere. We booked with TUI and it says on the info live entertainment but it’s only in the high season which starts on 15th June so we were disappointed in this. We did have entertainment on 2 nights. Also it says and we had a text that the TUI rep doesn’t visit the hotel and she says she has been visiting the hotel for the last 5 years! At weekends it gets busy in the area as the general public can come but they aren’t supposed to use the Sun beds that belong to hotel. A nice beach bar , the beach is pebbles . Everywhere very clean."

"Very nice hotel set in trees along with other hotels. Pool is in the complex, towels provided. Beach is stony but only a couple of minutes walk away. We were on floor 6, top floor, very quiet. Pillows and beds comfortable. Walk in shower, toiletries provided. Food very well cooked, good variety at breakfast and evening meals. Variety for vegetarians too. Plates were always hot so kept the food warm. Plenty of tables, my only thought would be to have more tables for two people and if needed people could push together if in a group. Didn’t seem to be enough tables for couples. Not sure if evening entertainment, a stage and tables downstairs on ground level but don’t see anything. There was random entertainment down at the à la carte Oleander restaurant. About 25 mins walk to the old town so not far. Plenty of bikes to hire, good walks and rides around the nature park in opposite direction. Reception staff not happy, very abrupt, however all other staff all seem pleasant. Cleaning staff always spoke in the morning. Restaurant staff very efficient in clearing and cleaning the tables however had to wait a while for drink orders."

"A few years ago myself and my wife holidayed on St. Katarina Island. As nice as that was, the ferry journey made it a bit inconvenient to visit the mainland and the town of Rovinj. So this time we opted for a land based hotel in the hope we would have easier access to the town and could come and go as we pleased. The Eden hotel surpassed all our expectations. Arriving early in the day meant we were unable to check-in for a few hours. We were made welcome by the reception staff and were able to leave our cases while we walked into Rovinj via the spectacular waterfront promenade. We gained access to our room which had a balcony overlooking the marvellous gardens with the pool in the background. I would suggest booking one of these as you got direct sunshine throughout the afternoon. The room was light and airy and the bathroom had a walk in shower with complimentary toiletries made available together with bathrobes and slippers. Coffees and tea making facilities and a stocked mini bar. We found the restaurant experience exactly as you would imagine any buffet service. Plenty of choice on offer with food being replenished as amounts starter to get low. The choice of options at both dinner and breakfast were many. What really impressed me was the scale and cleanliness of the whole complex and in particular the luscious green lawns. Plenty of room for the countless sunbeds. We only stayed four nights but our experiences during that time have left fond and lasting memories. Would totally recommend this hotel for couple and families of all ages."
