Kempinski Hotel Adriatic

The hotel was very beautiful and clean, the staff were so helpful and service minded. We loved their breakfast and spent many hours by their pool reading and swimming. It had a nice temperature and was very clean. Mario at the conciergerie was very helpful and I think it was because of his efforts that we finally were able to get a rental car during high season, even though we did not book in advance. He was also very helpful when I forgot my 19 year old wedding ring in our hotel room and helped me to get it back safely to the north of Sweden. Thank you so much, Mario! There was also a very noce helpful girl in the reception who spoke a little bit of norwegian. If you want to go to the beach there was always someone there ready to drive you but it was an easy 5-10 min walk if you prefer that. The hotel is a bit far away from bigger cities, so we recommend a rental car. We had the most wonderful time driving around on excellent roads and recommend a visit to Rovinj and Porec. The food and wine in Istria was great, I just want to go back! 🥰

A very outdated 5-star hotel. Nothing is being maintained or refurbished anymore! Parasols and sun loungers are broken; daybeds are missing their curtains and mattresses; broken buffet canopies are simply tied together—and much more. The furniture in the room is also very dated and damaged. In its current state—prior to renovation—it cannot be recommended as a luxury hotel.

The hotel is clean, well-maintained, spacious, and inviting. Front desk was responsive. Overall it was a great stay. I will say that the staff was hit or miss. I had a cleaner open our room without knocking while I was changing (no knock!), a pool bar staff member take drink orders and disappear without delivering them, and the hostess at breakfast didn't tell us there was a buffet. (Neither did the waitstaff who came to take our order from a menu.) I expected better service for the price but I understand it's hard to get workers in Croatia.

We’ve been coming back here for years, and it remains one of our favorite hotels and destinations. Beautiful surroundings, a fantastic beach, and a golf course just nearby. We loved it so much that we even bought one of their villas. Everything here is exceptional – the location, the atmosphere, and the quality of life. With both Italy and Slovenia just a short drive away, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the best of the Adriatic region.

So odd that we were probably 2 of less than 50 guests at this enormous resort hotel. Staff was outstanding. Food good. I think the shower in our room was magnificent! Not a single complaint. The few guests we met and spoke with were terrific people. My husband played golf and tennis, while I visited the spa. As a spa owner, I was disappointed, BUT not from a less than great service. It was just that a place like that should not have been only half operational. Yes, I know, only 5o guests in the entire place, so I understand. However, that didn’t lessen my disappointment. My therapist was excellent and obviously wanted to please. I give her 5-stars. I hope this great place has much success.
