Hotel Molindrio Plava Laguna

Nice hotel with great view breakfast is superb and variety included flee flow wine and champagne. Room clean and nice but during our trip April air condition not operate.

Food good variety, clean hotel, modern, only problem is welness is small and it was too crowded

I stayed here last August and had the best time. Very friendly hotel. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The hotel has excellent facilities and is within walking distance of a few local supermarkets and beaches. The train into Porec is great. A short walk from the hotel and very well priced and a regular service. Would highly recommend this hotel. I will certainly be returning in the future

My boyfriend and I visited here in July 2022, it is by far one of the best holidays we have had. Croatia is a beautiful country and I would definitely recommend to everyone! This hotel is a lovely place to stay, very clean and the staff are always friendly especially at reception and in the pool bar. The rooms are spacious and clean. We had a great balcony with a view of the sea. There is a mini bar in the fridge that is restocked daily and you are provided with a receipt of what you have spent each day for you to pay at reception at the end of your stay. There are two pools next to eachother with plenty of sun beds available, we arrived on our first day at 12pm and were able to get a bed. We never went down earlier than 9:30am to get a bed. The pools are clean, music quietly playing around them and aqua aerobics. The breakfast has a large choice of pastries, pancakes, fruit, cooked food, etc. We didn’t eat in the hotel restaurant in the evening as were out and about in the resort trying the other restaurants and cocktail bars (great location!!) The pool bar is great for lunch. We ate here most days as it is reasonably priced and the service is quick. We didn’t stay in the hotel for the entertainment in the evening but most nights out of the 7 we were there they had entertainment on a big stage on the beach. This was different each time and always a good watch. The best was a fireworks show out on the water! Would 100% return to this hotel in the future.

Good- Clean rooms, nice clean pools and close to the sea and shops. Many non alcoholic cocktail options for kids/non alcoholics at the pool bar. Hotel shop for essentials. The food you pay for at the pool bar is delicious and much better quality than buffet food as expected. Bad- very limited options for vegetarians like myself and I got bored very quickly with breakfast and dinner, basically no vegan options and a tiny gluten free section. No detail in the signs, many dishes have meat in and doesn’t say on the sign. I found what looked to be a small bone in my ‘grilled vegetables’, I found a piece of bacon on my fried egg, all the bacon is fried on the same grill as the fried eggs so the bacon fat dripping off the bacon is going onto the eggs. The grabbers to pick up the cheese were covered in tuna and even the potato’s had a bacon taste to them. Don’t think I spotted any vegan options at the pool bar and for some reason the vegetarian sandwich didn’t come with chips yet the chicken one did even though they are the same size. Not very friendly staff, no to a late checkout even by an hour/half an hour, no to using hotel showers after you’ve checked out in the morning, no to using other Plava Laguna hotel showers even though we were told we can go to the other hotels as they are part of a chain. Anyone under 18 can’t even buy a sprite when putting it on the room without parent having to sign, staff told off children for just running around playing games even though it’s a family hotel, can only pay cash or put it on room- no card. Not a good vibe as a whole, no proper entertainment for the hotel except from tribute acts so in the evenings I would go outside of the hotel. No smoking areas so everyone is smoking on the sun beds and outside the bar and at the pool bar all day.

This hotel is large and quite isolated, it’s set on the lagoon, is very scenic but there is nothing near. Nearest town ( in fact the only place to go) is Porec which can be reached by the tourist train across the road. There is bike and scooter hire from here too. There are a couple of other resorts on the way. One, called Broulo is very busy and has a large bouncy castle set in the water, also has crazy golf. There are a couple of restaurants around the bay near the marina that’s all really. Has two good pools, plenty of sitting areas a pool bar and the main restaurant. We had half board, meals are buffet style and very mundane, spent a lot of time wandering around waiting to be inspired. Rooms are good, and kept clean. There are singers every evening and an’Elvis Show’ on Fridays. Also children’s room and entertainment. The pools get crowded with just too many chairs crammed around but there is a pleasant grassy area with trees down by the lagoon edge. That was much nicer and more civilised. We enjoyed our break but would not return here.

The hotel is basic. Cleanliness of the room leaves a lot to be desired, including a heavy smell/odor. Would not stay here again. The breakfast staff on the morning of 02/21 was simply unprofessional, with no sense of urgency, or anticipation. While we understood that they had just closed, when the 2nd guest arrived - aside the fact that there were zero accommodations made, the staff was rude and disrespectful... Do not stay here!

Loved the hotel, the location and the people. First time to Croatia but most certainly not the last. Would say to people don’t think about booking it, just do it. However if you’re British you will miss your cup of tea. On the other hand the local wine will nearly make up for it.
