Loved the decor & views. Staff in dining area were very attentive & efficient. Reception staff pleasant but missed telling us about a few of the amenities & how to access them. Room - a little small, no bath mat so had to get an extra towel to use (didn’t want to slip). No kleenex in the room either.

Overall really very good At check in we were told subbed where chargeable - luckily we had an email that told us ours were included - something about the date being 15/06 as chargeable - season change ? Otherwise that would have added €25 per day ! I do think hotels should not charge staying guests to use a facility ! I understand charging a day visitor Overall a great place - just that minor thing that luckily we resolved (by saving the messages !)

Quiet location on headland adjacent to sea. Some building work in grounds in progress (new conference centre) with crane and some associated noise but not intrusive - September 2024) Good buffet breakfast. Short stroll into Petrcane bay with a handful of small bars and restaurants open. Regular nightly entertainment in bar / main public space area, so noisy and difficult to avoid without sitting outside. Not impressed by attention to cleanliness in room / bathroom during and between stay. Staff friendly. Tip: Ask hotel to arrange taxi transfers - €55 to/from Zadar airport - as we had to pay €85 from airport (after initial quote of €100.

Hotel Pinija in Petrčane is in a lovely seaside location and the grounds are pleasant, but overall our stay was disappointing and not worth the price we paid. One of the biggest issues was the food. The hotel website advertises several restaurants on site, including an Asian restaurant, which was one of the reasons we booked. However, during our stay they were all closed and the only option available was the buffet restaurant. Breakfast was acceptable, but the lunch buffet was extremely poor with very limited choice and repetitive, unappealing food. Some of the evening meals were disappointing as well. One night there was so little that looked appealing that I ended up eating chicken nuggets and chips from the kids’ menu. Another issue was the outdoor pool. We had specifically been told before arriving that it was heated, which was important as we were travelling outside the peak summer season. Unfortunately it clearly was not heated and was far too cold to use comfortably, which was very disappointing. When we tried to raise our concerns with staff we didn’t really get anywhere, which added to the frustration. Overall it wasn’t terrible, but it certainly didn’t live up to expectations and felt very poor value for money. For a hotel that markets itself as a higher-end resort, this was extremely underwhelming.

The Hotel was not what I expected. I was hopeful for more dining options and a nicer beach experience. The fact that we had to pay for lounge chairs if we wanted it after paying such high hotel rates was a lot.

Awful hotel rude staff

Hotel looks like a series of prison blocks with towels over balcony’s all around.

After checking in, our room key did not work, so we had to return to the lobby. One staff member initially explained it as a system issue, but another staff later corrected it, saying it was simply a mistake. Later, we came back to the lobby to look for drinking water, as none was provided in the room. Unlike most hotels we stayed at during this trip, there were no complimentary bottles, vending machines, or nearby convenience stores available. At check-out, a staff member asked us to pay for the stay again, even though it had already been fully prepaid through Expedia. I had to show the reservation and payment confirmation before another staff member stepped in and resolved the situation. Overall, the staff seemed unfamiliar with basic procedures, which caused unnecessary delays and stress. This ultimately affected our schedule, as we had to rush to continue our trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park. In addition, the hotel did not match the expectations set by the photos online. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this hotel and would not choose to stay here

We loved our stay at the hotel the only thing that put a dampener on things was the lady with the glasses working on reception. We have never encountered anyone so rude, dismissive and unhelpful in any hotels we have stayed in around the world. Every other member of staff was outstanding and friendly. This is the reason we would not return. The location of the hotel is stunning. The food was great. The spa, gym and swimming facilities are also fantastic. We would recommend renting a car for your stay as the bus service is infrequent. Uber’s were reliable but the cost can add up quite quickly. It’s only a 15 minute car ride to Zadar old town which is a must and so are the national parks.
