Hotel Pinija combines culinary delight with a beautiful coastal setting, making it a perfect choice for a memorable stay. Highly recommended! The buffet includes everything from local Croatian delicacies to international favorites, served with impeccable attention to detail. The dining area is comfortable, and the staff are attentive and friendly.

Nothing to add here, everything was really on point, The employees at Hotel Pinija are exceptionally friendly and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Their attentiveness ensures that every need is promptly met, enhancing the overall experience. The warm and professional service provided by the staff truly sets this hotel apart.

Enjoyed our stay at Hotell Pinija. We were upgraded to a family sized room. It came with a balcony that was facing booth sea- and the pool-area. Clean and very well disposed room. There were two bathrobes for our use and that was appreciated for pool and beach tour activities. For breakfast and dinner normal decent dress code was a house-rule. We like that and it fits our age and moral standard. All restaurants and bars are associated with the hotel so you can pay by signing with your room-number. Scary checkout😂 after spending a few days in the area. No not really even if prices always is matter for debate. We found them reasonable. A convenient store within the area with normal necessities plus snacks, drinks and sweets. Just outside we also found a small tourist store with some nice locally designed bags, plus the normal towels, bathing shoes and souvenirs…… Breakfast was great with more or less everything you can think of and then a huge variety beyond that. For dinner we went to the Lantern restaurant. So no info on the buffé styled dinner in the main building. Lantern restaurant is maybe no for this review, but but it was great both when it came to food and for the environment/view. We went to Pinija at the end of main-seasons and yet found all personal very friendly, helpful and smiling. We felt welcomed and got lots of interesting advices, info on surroundings and on Croatia. The personal definitely walked and extra mile for us. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back

For improvement: I’m a picky bread-enthusiast so some more rye styled buns would have been appreciated. Humble though I’m not familiar with Croatian standard wrt bread.

Fantastic location for a relaxing holiday. All of the hotel including our room was spotless. Staff were friendly and helpful. We hired bikes. Went jet skiing. Snorkelled daily. The homemade ice cream was amazing! We were half board and the food options were good ans the food areas well maintained throughout service. We used Uber and the bus to get about. Bus stop outside the hotel. A sprinkling of bars and restaurants about Petrcane too are worth a wander. We didn’t use the pool as we prefer the sea which was incredible, but the pool did look lovely. We would really like to return here.

There isn’t anything we didn’t like.

The location was just great. There are beautiful trees to sit under right next to the beautiful swimming area on great chairs and under umbrellas. This is a popular hotel for families from all over the area to come and have a family holiday. I liked that as it reminded me that kids and families are the same all over the world just wanting a happy peaceful loving family life. The spa was fantastic and I indulged with the best massages I have had for a long while, even helping my back which was not in great shape.

It was not a dislike but what I would have liked was another evening place to eat - I did visit the restaurant on the ocean fron every night (3) as the main dining area is really a buffet for families. There was limited choice at the restaurant which needed a bit more care even though I had a great server for 2 out of three nights. Ice cream and coffee areas are really great and made up for evening choice!

The room was clean except some underwear behind the curtains from a former guest but besides that very spacious with well working air conditioner. The breakfast and the spa area was nice, also good massages for both of us. Also, there was a welcome plate when we arrived. A late check out was possible after asking. There also is live music downstairs twice a week.

I booked 3 hours spa for Sunday (our checkout day) before we even checked in via mail and they told us it’s fine. On Sunday then we wanted to visit the spa and they said it’s not possible anymore. That was a bummer because we packed everything to stay in the spa before our flight, even got bathing robes from the reception standing there in our swimming clothes and even asked on Saturday in advance if we can use the spa on Sunday. Besides that nice hotel and rooms, but be cautious on your checkout day. Also, the spa can be overcrowded a bit. We were counting 21 people at a point for a whirlpool for 4, one sauna and one steam bath. That’s a bit much as people tend to not regard capacity restrictions.

We stayed in the hotel for 11 nights. The hotel seemed to have a renovation not so long ago. The room was pretty clean and fresh. The air conditioning worked great. There were indoor/outdoor pools, their own beach, and sunbeds for an additional cost. The breakfast and dinner were pretty good - a big choice of different types of food (fish, meat, veggie, etc..) During our stay, there was a really great animation team - special thanks to them (especially Zoran, for the swimming lessons and kids disco). Our daughter was very happy to attend the swimming lessons (and she learned to swim actually). Also, other events (not only for kids) were really funny and cool. So the big thanks to such a great animation team again.

There was sometimes way too loud at night. Even with closed windows - some days there were parties nearby, so it was irritating.

Great location, spacious and modern room, variety of options for breakfast and dinner.

Toilet (sink, toilet bowl & shower) was not cleaned during our 7 day stay. At some stage I just grabbed the cleaning supplies that were left in the corridor and cleaned it myself. 45 kuna for a sun bed per day is a complete rip off. This alone would add extra €100 to the cost of the hotel. I understand that they are also used by non hotel guest (it’s a public beach), but hotel guests should be able to use them for free or at least should be given a discount.

Hotel is very nice, location is right at the beach. There are playgrounds outside great for kids. A d playroom at the hotel that our son loved. The food was good, selection was always with several varieties of meat and side dish.

There was nothing special that we didn't like. The only thing to "complain" is that the room could be bigger. So for the next time we will choose more expensive option for a bigger room.

Wonderful hotel in beautiful part of the world. Staff were very polite and very helpful! Only one issue we had with duty of care. No signs been placed by the shore that sea urchins are native to Croatia, advise is urgently needed to all tourist to wear footwear in water.

That some guests must pay for sun lounges! Our room had lounges included but not my parents room Also lounge towels aren’t free of charge.

The beach, local restaurants/bars, market stalls, and activities were right on the doorstep. There's a small shop inside the hotel which sold gift type things, also a shop just outside where you could buy your sea shoes (which you'll definitely need), next to that there's a small supermarket shop. The staff in the hotel were friendly, helpful, and efficient, & nothing was too much bother.There was a huge selection at the buffet style breakfast, which was delicious. We ate a couple of times, there in the evening, and again there was a good, tasty selection. The staff in the restaurant were brilliant, considering how large it is, and the amount of customers, the tables were cleared quickly and everything ran smoothly. There was also entertainment (a singer) in the evening. The other evenings we walked the short distance into Petrcane and ate at the local restaurants. The room was clean (as was the rest of the hotel), & the very large bed was comfortable. Thank goodness there was air conditioning as there was a heat wave when we were there. My adult daughter and I enjoyed doing the aqua aerobics in the outdoor pool, which was a lot of fun. We received a free spa treatment voucher on arrival. Unfortunately, we were so busy doing outdoor things that we ran out of time to try the spa facilities. There were a lot of families with children at the hotel, so don't expect an adult only type of place, I personally love children and enjoyed seeing them having a fun time. I would definitely return to stay at this hotel.

There were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. However, reception kindly sent up a kettle and cups for me. I bought the coffee and milk at the shop just outside the hotel and kept the milk in the room bar fridge, along with my cool drinks. It would have been good if the hotel had a shuttle service from & to the hotel from the airport, even if we had to pay a small cost. My daughter & son in law had an early flight and couldn't get an Uber or taxi for 4am. The hotel receptionist saved the day by finding them a taxi. However, this was €50.
