Hotel Sol Aurora for Plava Laguna

"We spent our family holiday at Hotel Aurora Plava Laguna in Umag. Overall our impression is positive – the hotel is a good choice for families, but there are a few things worth knowing in advance. What we liked: • Excellent location, right by the sea. • Sandy beach only about 200 metres away – perfect with children. • Friendly and helpful staff. • Tasty and varied food. • Clean and tidy environment. • Park-view rooms are quiet and allow good rest. What we didn’t like / warnings: • The air conditioning only allows adjusting the fan speed, not the temperature. Our room was warm. We reported it, but essentially only a cleaning was done, and communication was difficult. • Sea-view rooms are noisy. Single glazing means the hotel entertainment/music can be clearly heard every evening around 22:30–23:00. It’s hard to sleep peacefully, even though these rooms cost more. • Although it is a 4-star hotel and has been renovated, it is not the most modern or nicest-looking property. Summary: If you book a park-view room, you can expect a pleasant and relaxing family stay. The location, beach and food make it worthwhile. However, the sea-view side and the limited air-conditioning control should be taken into account. Overall the hotel is good, and we would gladly return with the right room type."

"I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to many families. The pictures on the website do not match at all what the rooms look like and much of the communal parts of the hotel need updating. It is seriously very over priced. For 2 nights to pay €630 was not worth it all all. The poolside is lovely and relaxing. However the buffet, despite a wide range of range and was poor quality. Not much for children and sugar soft drinks and water on offer. No coffee at dinner in the restaurant. When we asked them for a glass of cold milk for our 6 year old daughter. We were allowed one glass and told we couldn’t have anymore at dinner and told we could get some after dinner at the bar. This we felt was poor for a 4 star all inclusive hotel."

"Totally failure. Dirty room, bad food. From positiveonly garden i close to sea."
