Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera

We had the opportunity to spend 10 days at this beautiful hotel during the summer saison. While enjoying the beauties of the surroundings (Kornat islands, Plitvice Lakes), we have seized the opportunity to relax at the poll area and the black spa nearby. The hotel park, facing the sea promenade, offers a unique view, while providing comfortable and silent sun lounger for relaxing. A special mention is due to the director, Emanuele, a really friendly person spending the whole day looking after customers and entertaining with them. Unfortunately check-in and check-out experience was anything but pleasant, and this is the reason for my final rating. Having already paid 50% of the due amount before our arrival and the remaining 50% at the check-in, we were requested to set aside a further sum of 750 Euros (!!!) for an esteemed consumption of extras. I confess to have never seen anything similar all around Europe! What further guarantee can be pretended when you have already received the 100% of the due amount in advance? In front of my vibrant complaints, the receptionist finally opted for giving up this request. Regrettably a further really bad experience waited for us at the check-out moment. Having realized that the overall amount of extra costs did not correspond to our real consumptions, I noticed that the hotel had charged (without any kind of authorization from my side) a flat tip in the amount of 100 Euros (10 Euro per day). Once again, in front of our protests the receptionist reversed this amount from our final invoice. It is really a pity that check-in and check-out procedures have taken this course, partly undermining the very positive impression we got of this hotel which has really many, many strength points and can offer, besides tasty restaurants and a lovely location, also awesome attractions in the surroundings!

The Fortis Gym is definitely a place worth going to, my mom and I really enjoyed working out there. They have all the equipment you need, ranging from a large sortiment of weights to various different machines to a separate yoga room. But above all that we prefered going to group training sessions, especially Alexa's. Her workouts are always well structured and vary every time. They're simply fun too attend and the dificulty level is not too high, so we definitely recommend giving it a try. We'll for sure be coming back for more.

This hotel is one of my favourite hotels, I have been visiting Punta Skala from 2016 and the experience never let me down.. Surrounded by natural beauty with places where you can chill above the sea on cliffs reading the book on sunbeds even in high season without crowds.. Hideout bar sunsets were the cherry on top and drinks were perfect thanks to bartender Marin..True highlights are fish restaurant Bracera with amazing views and dining options from the perfectly grilled fish to the delicate seafood specialties, "boat to plate" philosophy truly shines through, offering a genuine taste of the sea..and Fortis club with its amazing views from cardio zone and highend Technogym equipment..many thanks to Alexa who can enhance your condition within one week to different level with her workouts, hats off.. For those seeking a luxurious retreat with an unforgettable culinary journey, particularly if you appreciate amazing fresh seafood with a view, Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera is an absolute must-visit.

Very nice hotel, placed near beautiful beaches facing the sunset. Rooms are modern, large, with really comfortable bed and pillows. It has marvellous Spa and pools area. The buffet was rich with a variery of food, but the table service (bringing menues for the main dish) was too slow and my group supposed that the dinner was just buffet.

Went with a group and did not know what to expect. We were amazed by the hospitality and friendliness of all the staff. The rooms with sea views are very nice and spacious and we loved the openness of it all, with bathroom integrated in the bedroom. Bed is comfortable and air conditioning working very well, good coffee machine in the room too. Even though the hotel is not close to Zadar, there is plenty to do on the premises. The spa and sports facilities as well as the many pools are amazing. The private beach is looked after very well and has plenty of armchairs, The gardens are beautiful. Restaurants choices are plenty and the quality of food very good. Manager Emanuel will help with each and every issue and beyond. Zadar is only about 13 KMs away and can easily be reached with taxi, Uber or Bold. It is a perfect place to relax and be pampered.
