Hotel Parentium

"Location is quite nice, close to the sea, great pools, lots of greenery etc but I feel this place has a lot to learn to compete with international standard, especially when it comes to service. Many of the people working here are utterly unprofessional and lots of young people without real experience in service sector. First day they refused to give us towels by the pool !!?? And we got told off in a very rude way for bringing drinks to our sun beds even though we asked the pool bar staff if it was ok. People are also reserving sun beds first thing in the morning, then leave for breakfast and whatnot. There are barely any sunbeds available! Pool bar is under staffed so you have to wait in line and people do not always respect waiting in line. Some staff were amazing on the other hand, the older ones with experience, like Marinko at the breakast buffé. Not sure if I will visit again. The area and surroundings kind of makes up for it but Parentium really really needs to step up in terms of quality of service."

"A lovely hotel in a lovely setting. We were on the 4th floor, the room was clean and really comfortable beds with a balcony. There wasn't much of a view as such as we overlooked the gardens and the trees covered a lot of the view but saying that, we didn't spend that much time in the room. The hotel has two outdoor pools with lots of sun loungers, also an indoor pool. Saunas and gym were good and again kept very clean. A short walk to a rocky beach, so beach shoes a must but again everything was laid out extremely well and was a lovely place to just chill and swim, with plenty of shade if needed. I would like to say that every member of staff we met were friendly and very helpful. We did arrive quite early and they managed to sort a room very quickly for us. The restaurant had everything you could really ask for food wise, well done to all the staff there who must all work extremely hard. We decided to catch the little tourist train into Porec, just for fun and would recommend if you didn't fancy walking there. My partner and i would definitely stay here again"

"We stayed at this hotel during the world championship taekwondo in Porec. The entrance is spacious as are the rooms. The elevators were a bit small for a hotel of this size. Unfortunately the restaurants closed early which left us with no food when returning from the tournament. It is possible to take out a lunch instead. The rooms are fine and clean. The shower was a bit difficult to get at the right temperature but it worked in the end. the room had a small balcony with a view to the sea. Breakfast was good. The old city center is about 5km away. there is a foot path to the city which makes for a nice walk"
