Hotel Pinija

Enjoyed our stay at Hotell Pinija. We were upgraded to a family sized room. It came with a balcony that was facing booth sea- and the pool-area. Clean and very well disposed room. There were two bathrobes for our use and that was appreciated for pool and beach tour activities. For breakfast and dinner normal decent dress code was a house-rule. We like that and it fits our age and moral standard. All restaurants and bars are associated with the hotel so you can pay by signing with your room-number. Scary checkout😂 after spending a few days in the area. No not really even if prices always is matter for debate. We found them reasonable. A convenient store within the area with normal necessities plus snacks, drinks and sweets. Just outside we also found a small tourist store with some nice locally designed bags, plus the normal towels, bathing shoes and souvenirs…… Breakfast was great with more or less everything you can think of and then a huge variety beyond that. For dinner we went to the Lantern restaurant. So no info on the buffé styled dinner in the main building. Lantern restaurant is maybe no for this review, but but it was great both when it came to food and for the environment/view. We went to Pinija at the end of main-seasons and yet found all personal very friendly, helpful and smiling. We felt welcomed and got lots of interesting advices, info on surroundings and on Croatia. The personal definitely walked and extra mile for us. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back

The location was just great. There are beautiful trees to sit under right next to the beautiful swimming area on great chairs and under umbrellas. This is a popular hotel for families from all over the area to come and have a family holiday. I liked that as it reminded me that kids and families are the same all over the world just wanting a happy peaceful loving family life. The spa was fantastic and I indulged with the best massages I have had for a long while, even helping my back which was not in great shape.

We stayed in the hotel for 11 nights. The hotel seemed to have a renovation not so long ago. The room was pretty clean and fresh. The air conditioning worked great. There were indoor/outdoor pools, their own beach, and sunbeds for an additional cost. The breakfast and dinner were pretty good - a big choice of different types of food (fish, meat, veggie, etc..) During our stay, there was a really great animation team - special thanks to them (especially Zoran, for the swimming lessons and kids disco). Our daughter was very happy to attend the swimming lessons (and she learned to swim actually). Also, other events (not only for kids) were really funny and cool. So the big thanks to such a great animation team again.

Hotel is very nice, location is right at the beach. There are playgrounds outside great for kids. A d playroom at the hotel that our son loved. The food was good, selection was always with several varieties of meat and side dish.

The beach, local restaurants/bars, market stalls, and activities were right on the doorstep. There's a small shop inside the hotel which sold gift type things, also a shop just outside where you could buy your sea shoes (which you'll definitely need), next to that there's a small supermarket shop. The staff in the hotel were friendly, helpful, and efficient, & nothing was too much bother.There was a huge selection at the buffet style breakfast, which was delicious. We ate a couple of times, there in the evening, and again there was a good, tasty selection. The staff in the restaurant were brilliant, considering how large it is, and the amount of customers, the tables were cleared quickly and everything ran smoothly. There was also entertainment (a singer) in the evening. The other evenings we walked the short distance into Petrcane and ate at the local restaurants. The room was clean (as was the rest of the hotel), & the very large bed was comfortable. Thank goodness there was air conditioning as there was a heat wave when we were there. My adult daughter and I enjoyed doing the aqua aerobics in the outdoor pool, which was a lot of fun. We received a free spa treatment voucher on arrival. Unfortunately, we were so busy doing outdoor things that we ran out of time to try the spa facilities. There were a lot of families with children at the hotel, so don't expect an adult only type of place, I personally love children and enjoyed seeing them having a fun time. I would definitely return to stay at this hotel.
