Hotel Parentium Plava Laguna

Quiet and relaxing location. Very very kind and helpful hotel staff - truly wonderful weekend!
Thank you.

We stayed for 11 nights at the Hotel Parentium which sits on a peninsula between Plava and Zelena Laguna to the south of Poreč. We had two Classic rooms. The rooms were relatively spacious, well equipped and clean. They have a balcony, although the view is of an astro turf covered roof and other rooms with balconies. It didn't bother us as we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. Wi-Fi was very usable throughout the hotel although it is an open network so you might want to consider using a VPN.

The hotel itself is lovely. It is really clean and well maintained. It has a wellbeing centre with a gym, pool and spa facilities. The gym is well equipped and was not too busy. The indoor pool was lovely and warm and also never over full. The two outside pools were nice although a little on the cold side. Sunbeds are around the pool as well as in the grounds and by the sea. Towels can be picked up by the pool. The sunbeds were busy especially by mid afternoon but it was usually possible to find one or two.

The hotel also has a sort of beach which is a concrete promenade you can walk on with areas that provide access to the sea. They were actually quite nice and we used this quite a lot. The sea was relatively warm. I would recommend using pool shoes and the steps in and some of the rocks can be a little slippery. There are also areas with trees including hammocks that can be freely used. The view of the sunset was excellent from here.

There are a couple of restaurants next to the hotel as well as a small shop which was useful for snacks and drinks. It has a limited supply but is convenient. On the other side of the hotel you can walk towards all the other hotels and restaurants for Zelena Laguna. This is the busier and more touristy side. There are beach volleyball courts here and also some following the footpath towards Poreč . There are a few table tennis tables next to the restaurant by the hotel (not sure if these are paid for or not).

We stayed half board (we got a good deal) and I would recommend doing this if you can. The breakfast buffet is good with a lot of variety. The same can be said for the evening buffet. On the whole the quality and variety were very good and they did vary it a bit each day. Some of the food is cooked at the buffet. In the morning there is plenty of juice - if you want coffee or hot water for tea just ask one of the waiters if they don't approach you immediately. In the evening you will need to pay for drinks - these are a little on the pricey side. It is convenient to be able to easily sign things to the room.

Most evenings there is also some form of musical entertainment. This ranges from piano music in the reception area to duets or small bands either there or outside. All were of a pretty decent quality and we regularly grabbed a drink and listened to them in the evening. We took cards and Uno with us and played them with the kids while listening - a very good move bringing the games.

Parking is charged at 1 euro per day and they have a car park behind a barrier. This is always busy and can be difficult to find a space sometimes. If you have the card on the dashboard you can park on the hill up to the hotel, as long as it is not directly In front of the hotel - maybe worth checking if you are unsure.

The main nationality of guests seems to be Germans with a smattering of various other nationalities including a few British. The staff all spoke good English and were very helpful. A nice touch was a bottle of wine and a card in the room on my wife's birthday - we hadn't told them.

The cleaners are good although they sometimes have a tendency to knock and enter without much warning in the morning so do use the "do not disturb" door hanger when needed. Air conditioning worked well and all the lights are controlled from a few consoles around the room. There are electric plugs next to the bed. There is a safe, a mini bar and a TV in each room and lots of storage space.

We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it, especially for families.

Amazing hotel, highly recommend! We will be returning for sure! 😍

Just lovely hotel, delicious breakfast and dinner.The rooms are just perfect

Great Hotel, amazing spot - perfect service and totally polite staff. Direct attach to the ocean

HIGHLY recommending this gem ! 10 out of 10. Had a phenomenal time here. The Hotel is beautiful, clean, with beautiful views from the balcony and beach front ! The staff is exceptional and management is top notch catering to your every need. Catching a sunset is an absolute must, especially if you’re able to do it during a wine dinner where you get to taste the best local wines and delicious foods. Already looking forward to my next visit here !

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. I will definitely return. The service from Antonio, Carlo & Leo at reception, and Ariel & Nikolina from the food and beverage team was impeccable. The rooms are beautiful, cleaned well, and such amazing views. The food had so much variety, was fresh and just fantastic.

We are really enjoying our stay here. Lovely room, a wonderful choice of food at the breakfast and evening-meal buffets. The hotel is spacious - there is ample room for everyone, so the atmosphere is calm and unhurried. The staff are efficient, friendly and helpful. A special shout out to Sveto and Nevena, two members of staff who took us on a couple of trips organised by the hotel - they were so friendly and accommodating.

Currently staying at this great hotel and enjoyed a bike ride with our guide, Sveto.
What a great guy. Informative and interested in us too. He went the extra mile, not literally. The bike hire was so cheap. Well worth doing even for those not use to biking.

We stayed at this hotel for a few days in mid-May. One of the best mini vacations we have experienced. The great double room with sea view has certainly improved our overall opinion. The hotel is located in the region so-called Blue Lagoon, basically in front of the sea, surrounded by pine trees. Very decent and professional staff is responsible for the high level of service in the hotel. One thing needs to be improved: there is no electric kettle in the room.

Excellent five star hotel with spacious rooms and huge food offering for meals. Spa and pools included. Nice konference rooms. Location is extra for itself but around 10 kilometers walk if you want to go to city of Porec.

The weather in October was perfect, all around hotel are sightseeing places only. The touristic season almost over, so you can easy enjoy the time and sea.

Beautiful hotel, very large and comfortable rooms with large bathrooms. We had a fantastic view to the sea. Beds were comfortable. The room was very clean. Staff is nice and helpful. We liked the pools and the shady area with enough sunbeds between the pool area and the beach.

This hotel is a dream come true. It's the best hotel I have ever been to, and yes, I've seen quite a few.
The rooms are exactly as seen in the pictures. And the shower... *_* just wonderful. The buffet is awesome and very diverse. The area around the hotel peninsula is simply beautiful and thanks to its orientation to the south west, you can enjoy the sun all day and marvel at a breathtaking sunset every evening. Everything is clean and well maintained.
In my opinion it is great for wheelchairs, btw.
Down the road there is a bus stop and also the tourist train, that takes you to Poreč.
All in all we had a wonderful stay and will be back for sure.

Great hotel, nice view, good indoor pool. Breakfast was great, dinner not so much.

Very nice chilled out hotel. Only cost around £4 per person to get to town. But you really don't need to go far a wee walk by the sea and your at the main resort. That has every thing to offer. Rooms are stylish and clean only thing it has not got is a kettle that i really think they should add.. because im a coffee lover and action are pretty slow in the morning.🤣.. There's plenty to eat too... great buffet breakfast and dinner. Pool area is nice and never with out beds for people only thing is there is a smell in the water like you have swam in a river but good depth and pool bar.
Over all i would come back with out a doubt and spend another week very good holiday

The hotel is just perfect. In my honest opinion it is even better than the island resort. The beach there is super chill. Easy to enter the sea. A lot of room and not too crowded. There is a street workout park which is great for fitness enthusiasts. Test water is clear most of the time. I think it is really worth visiting.

Absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. The view from
Our room was perfect. The pool was clean and beautiful. Convenient pool bar. Not overly crowded. The staff was pleasant. The food in the restaurant was good and fresh. The breakfast buffet was also good. The air conditioning worked perfectly. All of the staff was friendly. This place is a hidden gem, I highly recommend staying here you won’t be disappointed.

Very nice 4 star hotel with clean spacious rooms, delicious and very rich breakfast. A lot of walk paths along Beach in the forest around. There are many good restaurants around the hotel. A hour of nice walk to the center of Poreč or you can take a tourist train that stops nearby hotel which takes you to the center of the city. Will be back again!

They gave us extra soft beds, as requested. You might not think that important but it made all the difference for us. Thank you!!!
