Hotel Lone

The setting for this hotel is stunning - the beach area has wonderful views and being able to walk ( or cycle) so easily around the coast is a bonus. The hotel is beautiful and our room ( grand) met all of our expectations. The staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast was good - plenty of choice although getting a table unaided by staff could be a challenge. I'm not sure why seating could not be managed by the senior staff who also seemed incapable of separating a table for 4 to accommodate waiting couples. We ate in the restaurant on the first evening and found the uninspiring food expensive and the quantity of wine disappointing considering the prices. We chose not to eat in the hotel again in the evenings as restaurants in nearby Rovinj were so much better in all respects. The lunch meal we ate by the pool was disappointing. A simple vegetarian pizza had half the ingredients listed on the menu missing - insulting that it was served! Needless to say we didn't pay for it. The bar area is a little soulless and the seating area was more suited to the reception area. We finished our meal one evening with drinks in The Adriatic in Rovinj (owned by the same group) and the atmosphere was so much nicer, an extremely well stocked, inviting bar and better value. The tennis centre looked a little tired and it was a pity that, in a week where we had rain most days, the indoor facility advertised was not in use. The bike hire staff were helpful and hiring bikes was good value. Overall this hotel generally lived up to our expectations and we would recommend it. I feel management are missing a trick though with the restaurant experience - something is wrong if only a small number of the guests are eating in ( even choosing to go out in pouring rain!!)

Beautiful hotel, very clean , apart from stain on the carpet in our room, it looked like ink which may be why it wasn't possible to clean up. Agree with other reviews about the lack of entertainment & atmosphere. Buffet breakfast - very good although waiting staff very miserable! All other staff were great, cleaners made a point of saying hello & girls at the pool towel desk were happy, smiling & chatty every day. They are building a new hotel very near by & the noise was unbearable, especially when it started at 8am!!!! We were told the indoor pool in the spa was heated,but it was freezing. Agree with the other reviews about the spa jet pools also being cold. Point to note: no swimwear is allowed in the saunas!!!! Yes you have to be naked! This is not published anywhere, you only find out when you're at the actual door of the sauna! Another point to note: if you have a jazz room there is no bathroom privacy. A large window with wooden slats overlooks the bathroom (see photo) - there is no way of closing the slats as they're not shutters, there's no blind or curtain either!

The hotel is right on the ocean and an easy 20 minute walk to town. There are 2 other hotels on the property as well and many wonderful restaurantes to choose from both on the Lone and the hotel next door. The decoration of the hotel is a bit bizarre but the rooms are very spacious and have large balconies. The hotel has several pools (not heated) as well as a huge infinity pool. The property has a large wellness center as well, free bikes, and many hiking trails.

Fantastic hotel with super gorgeous rooms with bags of space, in fact the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The location was great, there was a pebble beach just behind the pool and the town was a gentle 15 minute stroll away. The only down side was there was no entertainment on in the hotel, few people sat in the bar area, mainly due to the cost of drinks there, so the lack of atmoshere was the only spoiler in that respect and as the weather can be changeable it would of been nice to be able to stay at the hotel rather than traipse in the rain to the town. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and superb quality, the staff were first class throughout. If you are looking for a relaxing, chilled break then this is definitely the hotel for you.

My family stayed here for three nights in September 2017, overall we had a lovely time. We stayed in a Premium Room on the 5th floor which was plenty big enough for the three of us with a side view of the sea. The outside pool area is lovely but the water was too cold for swimming (assume this is just due to time of the year) so we opted for the indoor pool which was slightly warmer with jacuzzi jets. It was a shame to be inside as it was warm outside. Unfortunately the mini-club was closed so we were unable to take our daughter here to play. The breakfast buffet was great with lots of choice. We had a lovely meal on Sunday night at 'Restaurant On' and were extremely disappointed that it wasn't open on the Monday night, so we went next door to Hotel Eden for buffet dinner which was mediocre.After dinner was a traditional Croatian dance group which was good! Only the a la carte was open for dinner on Monday night and I didn't see a single sole eating there - couldn't find a single thing on the menu we liked and no child menu for our daughter. Usually it is possible to walk along the seafront footpath from the Hotel to Old Town but there is a new hotel being built which meant we had to go a different route, which wasn't an issue just not as pretty. Old Town is very quaint with lots of cafes and restaurants and a few shops, would recommend a visit. One day we got a taxi from Old Town to the Hotel Lone as it was pouring with rain - this cost HRK 70 approx £9-10. There is a supermarket 5 minute walk away if you need to buy snacks and essentials. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
