Kempinski Hotel Adriatic Istria Croatia

My wife and I absolutely love this place, and have been coming here since 2011. We have been to a few Kempinski hotels and all of them are great, but this place is a little different. The hotel is full of people 'flexing' their expensive watches, jewelry, designer clothing and handbags. Although everyone keeps themselves to themselves, it really seems to be a place where you can freely wear the most expensive things you own and feel safe doing it. Yes, it sounds a little pretentious but It is absolutely not that. It's fascinating for 'label junkies'. As for the hotel, yes it's getting a little worn around the edges but it is still fantastic. The staff are amazing, the atmosphere in both pool and beach area are great. The waiters can not do enough for you. It's clean and extremely well kept. The breakfast is, as always excellent! A great choice of hot and cold foods, fresh juices and the free champagne/prosecco helps too :) The rooms are great, the beds are incredible, the room can be pitch black during the day and the AC is spot on. I always get the best nights sleep of any hotel I've ever stayed in. If I had to make any criticism it would be the gym is a little small for such a big hotel. My wife attended yoga classes and said it was really good considering it was 'hotel yoga'. The pool bar menu and evening meals have vastly improved. We are already looking for our next booking.

The last time the lobby is great, the breakfast selection better than in Portoroz (only breakfast room is better their).

The staff is extremely nice and attentive in the whole hotel. The rooms are spacious, but probably they should do a renovations in the next years. The pool is huge and the water temperature was great. The hotel is not directly on the beach but they offer rides with a golf cart. There are many activities what you can do during the stay : tennis, golf, ebike, wine tasting.

Everything was great including the people! :)

Amazing facilities, especially the spa!
