Historic Hotels & Resorts in Cres Island from AU$194

"The hotel was in a great location, which was definitely the best part of the stay. However, the hotel itself felt quite run down, with noticeable water damage and very dated rooms and common areas. It did not feel like a 4-star hotel and was overpriced for the overall condition and experience provided."

"This place is magical! Terrace has an excellent view. Breakfast was good. Bed was comfortable. Showers are European small. Staff is so nice. Spa looked nice, didn’t get an appointment because I waited too late. The Opatija area is just gorgeous. Free swimming areas set up in the Adriatic Sea, right outside the hotel. Walking path along the sea. I wanted to stay a week but only booked 2 days."

"excellent property. great value. very welcoming staff."

"The hotel needs a refresh! Carpet was thread bare and the stairs leading to the beach were in desperate need of a good cleaning. All little things that add up to a not so good rating. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Buffet breakfast was good."

"Overall the experience was decent. Highlights about the hotel would definitely be the breakfast and the beach being so close. Restaurants around the area served good food and coffee and overall they're budget friendly. Some issues that I would like to point out would be dinner service. Other than the price being 23€ per person, that doesnt include drink service, other than the limited amount of juice on display. You can of course buy drinks but the price was quite high with a 5% service charge being tacked on with it. Spent 8.40€ for 2 apple juices for example. Compared to breakfast I must say this was a total dissapointment in my eyes. Another issue I would like to note, hopefully this was only my experience, but my girlfriend and I both contracted food poisoning from what we believe were the sandwiches in the to-go lunch boxes that we received upon departure from the hotel. Lukcily no big issue as we both recovered within 3 days, and of course, no hospital visit. Beds were okay overall. They kept sliding around when we moved a little in our sleep. Had to use my suitcase to wedge one side to prevent movement. The walk to the beach is quite close, but coming back is definitely a small workout if youre unprepared, as there is lots of stair climbing. Most shops are away from the area of the island and would require either a car or long walk to town to get to. To close this out, the overall experience was decent with some highs, lows, and some in between."

"Great buffet breakfast and dinner. Beautiful beach right outside our door. Live bands, great restaurants right along the boardwalk "
