4*hotel in 5* setting

Reviewed By mcw123

There is a lot that is good about this hotel but it starts and finishes with the view. It's incredible and is maximised in the way the hotel is layed out. The rooms are a good size and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's a short walk into the town and also to the local gravel beaches. The pool and spa areas are comfortable and have reasonable access hours. There are quite a few niggles though. The pillows are hideously uncomfortable-change them on the first night if you can-my husband can sleep anywhere and even he struggled. The rooms are spacious and have a small balcony which I am sure give good views when the green, planted roofs are maintained properly. There are directors chairs and a bench seat instead of anything comfortable, which really does not give a 5* vibe. Some nights you are given biscuits, some nights you are not. Service seems hit and miss throughout.The bath is not suitable for anyone shorter than 6ft tall but the bathroom is styled nicely and big enough. Breakfast is nice and varied but some of the freshly cooked items were not of a high quality. The pancakes were rubbery and the bacon is in fact a pork chop (could be a translation issue?). The public toilets on the whole were clean except for the ones right next to the dining room which were awful. We ate one evening in the hotel and I have to say this was a disappointment. We had far better quality and value food in the local town. It is possible that they are short staffed due to Covid and this may cause the lack of top notch service expected from a hotel of this nature. The view is it's saving grace-it's perfect. In fact the view is the only thing that was 5*star about this hotel. It's a shame as we were treating ourselves to an expensive break and it wasn't worth the money.

Hotel Monte Mulini

Enjoy a serene view of the quiet cove from your own balcony, only 10 minutes away from Rovinj`s Old Town or put your feet up in the lush garden around the pool before exploring the refined cooking in the Wine Vault restaurant.

NICE HOTEL, TOP BEACH MANAGER

Reviewed By Mbids

The Monte Mulini is a very nice hotel, real 5 star. Room is spacious, very clean, with all amenities you may expect from this category. Breakfast was very good, pools are nice and the beach, just few steps in front of the hotel, really nice and very very well organized. Estefania, the beach manager, is a real added value to this place, great problem solver with lots of kindness and “savoire faire”. Thank you for making our time at the beach really great! We’ll sure be back for some more relaxing time!

Just returned from this beautiful hotel in pula with my 2 sisters, on arrival e had a warm welcome and our suitcases were taken to our room and was invited to go into dining room for breakfast , though out our stay every single one of the staff were so friendly always pleasent and helpful. The only downside was no entertainment we were told the reason was they couldn't have entertainment while they had conferences there. On our last evening there was music & singers. The area is very quiet not much around but very scenic and traquil. There is a bus that goes into pula Town about 15 mins ride. Lovely for a relaxing holiday.

Hotel in Porec

Reviewed By CSCTO

We stayed at this hotel for two nights while in Porec. It's a very large resort with several pools and a large breakfast area. The room was nice with a view of the pools. The breakfast is very good with a large selection and stations to cook your food to order. I had omelets both mornings. The walk to town is less than 15 minutes.

Lovely but sort out the smoking areas.

Reviewed By Marie K

Overall a lovely hotel, made extra special by the staff who truly want you to have the best experience. Only two gripes. Firstly, there are no tea and coffee facilities in the room. Tea is a basic human right and I don't want to have to get dressed to get it. Secondly, I don't smoke and I don't want smoke wafting into my room from next door balcony. Put those who want to smoke away from those who don't. This also applies to the restaurants. Pretty much every meal was curtailed by having to sit next to someone blowing smoke all over my meal. This is 2022 not 1972.

outstanding

Reviewed By 480janieg

I cannot praise this hotel enough. The location is superb, right next to a beautiful beach, surrounded by acres of forest land and only a 15 minute coastal walk to Rovinj town and harbour. It is all immaculate, from the marble lobby to the bedrooms and bathrooms and the pool area and grounds. It really is breath-taking. The room was not massive, but had lots of useful storage and a balcony which we used a lot. The dining room had a big choice of food - buffet style - which varied slightly each night. Although busy, we were always able to find a table and the waiters were friendly and polite and clearly worked very hard. We went on a dolphin watching trip at sunset and a day trip to Pula and Porec but other then that there was everything we needed in or near the hotel and town. A truly fantastic place to unwind.
