What I am about to write is with having in mind we are talking about a 5 star hotel. I would firstly say that the staff was superb, probably the best I've ever encountered. 10/10 The 1st impression of the place was great as well. Huge hotel, spacious, well built with a good dose of luxury. Breakfast was great. The dinner could be better. But then you start noticing the little things: - The matress on the bed in the room was horrible. It was caved like it hasnt been changed in years and the quality of is is horrendous. My back actualy hurt in the morning. - The coctail we ordered (Aperol Spritz) was watered down. The worst Aperol I ever drank to be honest and I've drank alot of Aperol Spritzes in my life. - The SPA looks impressive at first but to be fair it's filthy and unmaintaned. Inside and outside. Because you can go outside, the floors get dirty fast and they clean it here and then, but not often. There is an outside sauna and the showers outside are disgusting to say the least. Some of the steam sauna parts were sludgy. The deck chairs were damaged. All in all, the overall experience was great, but more of 4 start than 5 stars.

Perfect, rich breakfast, with local and international flavours. Extremely nice beach, park. Easy to reach from the highway.

Sometimes, the bar was crowded with long waiting time. But the guys was so helpfull and kind, so it was only a small problem.

The facilities were top notch and the best we've found in our week long visit in Croatia. The breakfast was also very good with quality ingredients. The gym facilities at the Fortis club which is 10 min walk from the Hotel was amongst the best i've found in any hotel. The level of cleanliness and professionalism of staff is worthy of its 5 star status

The food in all restaurants was great but somewhat too pricey. Moreover, the bbq themed night at the main restaurant closes a bit too early. We arrived at 8.45pm and we felt we had to rush through our courses which affected the overall experience. Moreover the bbq items on display were cold by the time we ate which is a pity seeing that the food quality was great.

This resort has for sure a 5* manager, he is always on site to chat with guests and make them feel welcome and cared for. The restaurant staff is super helpful and especially nice with kids. The exterior is very groomed and everything is lovely green with wonderful plants. The food is excellent and there’s a huge variety of dishes for all tastes. Desserts are exceptional. Amazing spa treatments and facilities. The pool bistro guys.

There were spots in the room that haven’t been cleaned throughout the whole week and a spiderweb grew bigger and bigger. The blackout shades had wholes so it wasn’t very dark in the room after sunrise. Even though we announced food intolerances, there were no real dessert options. There were desserts labeled as gluten free, but upon double checking, it turned out they contained gluten. The outside pools are in the bright sun, it would be nice if there were shady spots to swim. Front desk staff seemed to be annoyed sometimes.

I liked the food (breakfast and dinner) I liked the spa and the pools. I usually don’t use the pools, but here everything was so clean, I liked it and used them every day. I liked the big property, becoming I had two dogs, who liked the land and the beach. It’s a great hotel to bring dogs. I didn’t use leash one time. ( They are well behaved) They were also with me at the pool and no one gave us a strange eye. Only smiles. The staff is really great. There are beds everywhere at the beach or at the pool. And enough towels everywhere. I really liked that, so you don’t have to reuse wet towels ever.

Our room was directly above the dining room and everything morning there was noise starting at 6 oclock, when the waiters prepared tables. Later, when guests arrived, there was no noise. Also in the evening. Chairs pulling. The noise was only when they were preparing, later it was ok.

Mini bar was empty and hotel have new policy to order from reception any drinks. Hairdryer was not in room

My future wife and I are so happy we decided to visit to the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa in Iadera. It was definitely one of our best trips ever if not the best! The property itself has absolutely beautiful landscaping with several pools and multiple dining options with well prepared dishes for all times of the day and evening. The breakfast is an absolute must you not miss it because it is without a doubt one of the best selections of many great breakfast dishes. The entire facility is very well kept and very clean. Every hotel department including the restaurants, front desk, bellman, housekeeping, spa and the management are so friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. We will never forget this trip and when we are in Zadar we will always stay at the Falkensteiner Resort & Spa. You other half will be so pleased with your selection of the property and will probably share this with you daily. This property is an absolute Gem and the entire staff in all departments make it shine like a perfectly cut diamond that your wife or girlfriend will cherish forever. They always say a diamond is a girls best friend and diamonds are forever, well I can assure you the Faukensteiner Resort & Spa will be too. For access to the property’s amazing amenities every price I have seen online is an incredible value. You will be extremely happy you made the choice to stay at this property I promise you! Eric J Desrosiers Extremely Happy Guest!

I could go on for an hour about how great this property and staff are. I will tell you that you can never go wrong by staying at this property. You will be very pleased you made the choice to spend your time at the Faukensteiner Hotel & Resort Iadera.

Beautiful location, nice rooms, very good halfboard.

At this time of the year wellness is crowded, so it would be nice to have more stuff to fill in the towels regularly and keep the place cleaner and tidier. The water in the indoor pool could be warmer. Housekeeping doesn’t empty the trash can daily. Floor manager is too loud giving orders to the staff (guests are not supposed to hear her yelling). Staff at the reception desk gave us the wrong information on arrival that bowling in Fortis doesn’t work-later we went there to find out it was open.

The staff were brilliant. The hospitality was top level and felt like home! The location of the facilities were great! The food was amazing as well but the desserts could be improved :) We enjoyed our time very much! Also I wrote a note that it was our second anniversary but first honeymoon and in our room there was a little surprise! Thanks for that as well!

The robs, towels and sunbeds could be cleaner. There were some stains on our table, curtain and also in some sunbeds. Also I didn't like that it says dinner included but there isn't even one single soft drink included and still water is 6.5 euro. They could at least give one drink and rest to be charged. This was very misleading! The gaming room (PS - PC), bowling, billiard (for kids?) and all the fun stuff are promoted as free but when you go there, it is only free for kids. If you are an adult and still have young soul you need to pay quite a lot to use them. This promotion was also misleading.

This is an enormous hotel with fantastic facilities especially the pool and spa area and the decor is well thought out. The spa is a standout area with amazing saunas and cold and hot pools leading down to the sea. The breakfast is excellent and evening meal also good quality

Everything regarding information is on an app except basic information is not like spa opening times , breakfast details or if it rains the fish restaurant will always close don't expect to be informed just know. With a big of tweaking all information ( essential information) cld be available. The city is 30minutes by car but the road is being rerouted to 45 minutes but if you ignore google you can still use normal road
