Laguna Bellevue

Just back from a week in these lovely apartments we had a one bedroom apartment with two bathrooms and two balconies a sitting area with table and chairs and a well equipped kitchenette .The views were lovely we could just see the sea from ours 222 and surrounding woodland .There is a restaurant on site and a shop which opens 7am - 2.30 pm needed to be open longer as there isnt another unless you do the 20 minute walk into Porec to the Spar. We were half board plus so our meals were catered for and we were so glad we had a ten minute walk to the Mediteran hotel where we ate breakfast and evening meal food was so much more than we expected beef , pork , chicken ,lamb , turkey and fish lots of veg ,salad soup cake icecream etc,Unlimited wine ,beer or soft drinks during meal time real value for money .All in all we loved it here . Only two minuses one the steps to the apartments 120 to ours from the seafront better to keep to the road when going up secondly there is a little train in to Porec but no buses the bus station in Porec only had buses running infrequently ,

As a family of 3 (2 adults and 16 year old) and we stayed in a 2 bedroomed apartment. The apartment itself was a little tired in places but it was clean and generously sized though the kitchen area did feel a little cramped. This was fine for us as we ate out every night the week we were there. The balcony was quite small in comparison but it was ok. The wifi was excellent and there were air conditioning units in the main area and both bedrooms. Small bathroom but functional. We were informed (via Jet2) that they only clean the rooms upon request and this service is chargeable so I opted to just take some anti bac wipes and keep it clean myself. The towels were changed every day, plenty of loo roll and the bins were also emptied which were the main things. The pool area is lovely and there isn't the mad rush to reserve, though we opted to sit down by the sea as far cooler and much nicer. You can get a clean pool towel every day (and take this with you to the beach) so this is a really welcome service and free as long as you return your pool card at the end of the stay. Yes, there are lots of steps but unless you are really restricted in mobility, they were fine. Sunbed hire by the sea is 6 euro's per bed, per day - pretty reasonable (you just pay the life guard who will come round at some point) - would recommend, the rocks aren't always that comfy unless you are able to take something to lay on other than a towel. The other thing to mention, the best restaurant we found was the one at the far end of the beach (if you were to look towards Porec) - the one near the cafe bar didn't take card so just make sure you have lots of euro's with you as some places prefer cash. The shops on site are well stocked - there are 2, a slightly bigger Lito at the bottom of the hill nearer the sea. Very expensive, but its convenient and if you just need basic bits, then its absolutely fine. If you've hired a car, then of course it would make sense to find a bigger supermarket. We didn't take the mini train into Porec but opted to walk instead as it was a really, really beautiful walk along the sea front into the town - about 1.2miles. Good for the old step count ;) Porec itself is beautiful especially the old town - gorgeous little streets, lots of shops, good food with lots and lots of choice. We loved it there and never got bored wandering around of an evening. Thoroughly recommend 'Niki's' pasta restaurant tucked away in one of the little courtyards - best home made pasta I've ever had. Gutted we found it on the last night as we would've gone more than once! We took a ferry trip (pre-booked directly with Direct Ferries) to Venice for the day which is very efficiently run by Kompas and easy to locate in Porec harbour. Pleasant 3 hour crossing and plenty of time in Venice. They do sell you additional guided tours but we decided to explore the city ourselves but we did opt for the water taxi back to the ferry but felt in hindsight, this was a bit expensive but by that point, we were walked out and grateful to just get back and collapse on the boat. One thing to note, they don't take card for anything on the boat due to the lack of phone service so take plenty of cash! Cannot fault the Kompas staff - knowledgable, friendly and helpful. This is a great base for a week (or longer) in Porec. Yes, its typical rustic Croatia but having visited various part of the country before, we were not disappointed. The people are so lovely and you cannot beat the sea and views.

Nice accomodation with friendly staff. Our nearly 6 years old daughter loved team of animators from Slovakia and Croatia (Dominika, Klara and Lukas). She played often games with them and every morning looking forward to meeting them again.

We stayed in a 2 bedroomed apartment. It was a good space with room for us all, good cooking facilities, with kettle and toastie maker as well as plenty of cutlery, plates, cups etc. When well arrived ot was around midday we were told by reception our room wasn't ready and we needed to wait for an hour and a half, which was a little disappointing as we wanted to get on with our day.. We had a walk around to get our bearings, there's a shop on the site which opened 8 till 2.30pm, it's a small shop with minimal stock, a few baked items and some fresh fruit etc, the chap that works in there was pleasant enough. There was a small restaurant which said it opened 10 till 10 when we arrived, this changed during our stay to 12 till 10pm. We were told by all we were visiting out of season so lots of things weren't open so the accommodation site felt a bit lack lustre. The pool area was a good size, but we had mainly rain so didn't get much use out of it. It's about 25 minutes walk to Porec from the site, there is a land train which is 4 euro is each, a nice run to be fair, there are bars and places to eat along the way but most were closed until around June we were told. We were given fresh towel every day, we tried to decline them but the lady had no idea what we were saying so we just kept getting them and loo rolls.

It is a beautiful beachfront location close to the city. The apartments are well-maintained and have daily room service. I highly recommend it, especially after the holiday season.
