Charming, rustic, beautiful

This was such a lovely and unique place to visit! The road is tricky to get there (take it slow) and I’m not sure how you can access it without a car but it does mean that you are far from the tourist crowds. The view from my room had sea, the beautiful hilltop town of Beli and forested hills. The food was simple, local, and delicious- I felt like many ingredients came from a very small radius around us. The staff were lovely and attentive to a solo traveller, and it was easy to walk to several interesting sights from there- up the hill (quite a climb) for the labyrinths, down the hill for the beach (including a secluded beach if you follow the path around), and down then up for the town itself, which is full of swifts and swallows this time of year (oooh and I saw lots of pine martens on the night drive back from Cres!).

Wonderful location, great value

Reviewed By mfranceschi2121

Kimen is peacefully tucked away among pine trees, yet right on the beach. My room was quite small, but clean and well equipped. The hotel staff was lovely, attentive and helpful. Great base point for numerous stunning Cres Island trails and it's only a 15-minute saside stroll to Cres centre.

Mobile Home

Reviewed By clarissam601

Rented a mobile home for our short stop on Cres for 3 nights. The camping site is huge, but nice and well organized. The pice for the mobile home is very high, i.e. we expected a nice, clean and neat place but it was too small for 5 people, old interior, no chance to have a good sleep and besides of this, it was dirty! Next to ours were nice, modern and bigger mobile homes (Superior family) which we can recommend, but they are even more expensive! For this money it’s no problem to stay in a five star hotel!

Lacklustre

Reviewed By Planewalker

Our stay was not an unpleasant one, but I had much greater expectations from a four-star hotel. The visuals are nice – the interior is rather cheerful and pleasant to look at. However, the walls are paper-thin, so you had better hope you get quiet neighbours. The furnishings look very basic. The TV set is of the ancient cathode ray tube variety. There was no one large bed, only two single beds on wheels put together, so you’re very likely to fall between them if you lie in the middle. The bathroom contains no accessories/toiletries apart from a blowdrier. The toilet has low to medium flow, and the water supply merely trickles, and so it takes, and so it takes the tank at least 10 minutes to fill the tank. The air conditioning can only be turned on/off if you call the reception desk. The staff was polite and helpful enough, but we did have an uncomfortable situation one night when we came back at 11 p.m. and found the front door locked, with the reception desk unmanned. It turned out that we had to use the room keycard (separate from the room key), which we had actually been advised to leave in the slot inside the room for continuous power. The breakfast was very basic and not very satisfying. There were no gluten-free options and nearly all meat items were made of pork. We did not try the à la carte menu. There is a swimming pool with spa/massage services, but our schedule was busy so we did not get to try it. The environs are peaceful and quiet enough, but I would not recommend staying here for a vacation. There is a campsite within walking distance, but the best beaches are located around the bay some 20 miles to the north. Martinšćica as a town is nothing to write home about; you’re better served staying in Cres if you like a town with more establishments or Valun if you like quiet fishing villages.

Perfect!

Reviewed By QivNR2GbJ6

Spent an amazing two weeks at MaMaLu last summer! The rooms are simple and clean with a great view. I would recommend anybody looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay to check out this gem. The family/staff were also just great and helped out when my girlfriend got sick. But the best thing about MaMaLu still has to be the food at the restaurant! In the mornings you can see the patriarch take the fishing boat out to sea and at night the catch is served to the guests. Originally we had planned to eat out a lot but we had to give up that plan and instead ate at the hotel most days.

Nice apartments with resonable price

Reviewed By Rudolf L

We stayed there as a group of friends. There were 30 of us for a tennis weekend. The apartments are close to the beach, city centre, tennis courts. All walking distance so our families who didn't play tennis enjoyed a great weekend in Cres too. Apartments are not luxurious, but you get everything you need on the vacation. We particulary enjoyed the grill for all of us in the garden.
