Pićan – Independent i Pićan, Istrien

"Our suite smelled of bad AC or something inconvenient. Got free parking as compensation. "

"Super lækkert bjerg hotel i lille landsby. Individuelle designede værelser med rigtig god seng. Skøn morgenmad der nydes med bjergudsigt så langt øjet rækker og solnedgang til aftensmaden.afkølende pool med bar og fine liggestole samt store badehåndklæder til rådighed. Book vinsmagning på hotel og nyd omgivelserne. Parkering med bil elevator. De tilbyder også yoga Prøv evt også tøffeljagt med hunde som kan bookes på hotellet. En tur helt op i byen kan anbefales, speciel omkring solnedgang. OBS det går meget opad så godt fodtøj "

"Very nice hotel, the rooms are fine. The pool area is a closed area only for hotel guests with enough deck chairs and a nice pool bar. There are also deck chairs on the beach area and a sports center and a small marina with a lot of options. The italian-croatian restaurant is amazing with reasonable prices. The restaurant that serves breakfast and buffet are a bit overcrowded at times, so mind what time, you visit. Rovinj is just a 5 minute drive away and is worth a visit. The aquarium is 45 minutes away. "

"Our stay at Hotel Ambasador was overall just OK. Upon arrival, we used the hotel’s parking (€26/day). A friendly staff member parked our car, which seemed professional—until I later found the car unlocked after four days. At check-in (3 PM), we headed to the beach area, only to find all loungers “reserved” with towels but not a single person present. In the following days, we realized guests wake up early just to claim sunbeds, then leave for hours. Signs say towels will be removed after 30 mins, but staff didn’t enforce it. When we asked, they simply advised us to “do the same.” Locals and non-guests climb over the fence from the walking path and use both the pool and beach loungers. When we told the front desk, they laughed and said “it’s like that every year.” Breakfast was okay, but overcrowded and felt more like an all-inclusive buffet. The spa was worn, and swimwear is not allowed, which felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming as a woman. We checked out a day early. The hotel felt massive, impersonal, and far from the 5-star service we expected. I won’t return — but if you’re looking for a free beach day, apparently all you need to do is jump the fence."

"All perfect. Highly recommend "
