Hotel Materada Plava Laguna

Super good hotel with activities at the pool. Nice garden with many different kind of trees.

Belles pièces, bel espace extérieur en forme de parc, belle grande piscine, bel espace d'entrée. Le personnel est généralement très sympathique, une petite partie antipathique, nous pensons à la suite de trop peu de serveurs. Pendant le dîner dans la salle à manger extérieure, l'animation pour les petits enfants se fait entendre à plein volume à partir de 20h à l'étage supérieur. La nourriture elle-même avec les boissons incluses fait défaut à notre avis. Quelques informations à ce sujet : L'eau qui peut être évacuée d'une pompe dans la salle aux allures de cantine contient du chlore ou quelque chose de similaire au goût. Vous ne pouvez pas le goûter quand il fait froid, mais si vous le laissez plus longtemps sur la table, vous serez choqué par son goût. Le vin rouge et blanc provient d'un grand Tetrapak. Il n'y a pas de café décaféiné (la cuisine pourrait au moins mettre une canette de Nescaffe). Les verres et les assiettes ne sont souvent pas propres et ont des marques du client précédent. La nourriture est la plupart du temps très grasse, du moins pas ou peu assaisonnée. Il y a très peu de choix pour les personnes qui aiment les légumes ou même pour les végétariens. Dommage que la nourriture ne soit pas mieux préparée avec une si belle infrastructure. Dans le cas de petites interventions culinaires à grand effet, l'hôtel n'engagerait aucun frais supplémentaire. Nous avons été déçus.

My husband and I booked the hotel as a last minute cheap deal and on first impressions we were impressed. The hotel is in a nice setting with well tended gardens and a short walk to the seafront promenade, great if you want to lie around the pool all week but we found it too cut off. There are no local buses in the area at all and the small tourist train was 1km away and had very restricted times being early season. A taxi into porec was £20 each way. Hotel food was typical for a large tourist hotel and we always found something to eat. The bedrooms however are extremely small and very basic no storage cupboards or drawers for anything at all.the bathrooms are so small the shower door wouldn't open fully as banged into the toilet and the bathroom door couldn't open fully due to the towel rail behind it. You get bigger bathrooms on cruise ships ! The main down side was the constant stream of tourist coaches which used the hotel on a daily basis ( 8 full coaches on one particular day )which left the hotel more like a travel lodge motel and not like a relaxing away from it all holiday break. In all an OK hotel for the money we paid but not somewhere we would return to unless in a coach party.

My partner and I stayed here the first week off October. We booked a package holiday (half board) with easyJet holidays. Grounds and surroundings to the hotel were kept extremely clean and tidy and the views were great, especially from our balcony. I did like it how calm and peaceful it felt, as well as very safe. There is a path at the bottom of the hotel which you can follow to some nice beach bars. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Big shout out to the guy doing the ice creams, he went above and beyond. Only issue was the food was very plain and simple. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are after a more peaceful resort.

Great hotel albeit a little out of the way. Very clean, good food except the coffee at breakfast was awful. The restaurant is a bit like a canteen and if you want a table outside be prepared for a 6:30pm dash! Free wine and beer at dinner but not the best quality. No problem with sun beds, plenty available without having to get up at silly o’clock. Would suggest you email the hotel to ask for a room overlooking the pool on a high floor. We were in room 452, which was perfect. Not many Brits at the hotel but wasn’t a pooroblem. Porec old town is fabulous, there is a little tourist train from the Valamar Marea hotel for 2 euros each way. Cuts down the walking time from 45 mins to about 20mins. Plenty of restaurants in the area to eat out. Prices very reasonable. Overall a great holiday

Check in strictly after 2. 3 lifts however only 2 go to dinning/pool. They also break down due to the amount of people using them. The rooms on both side are the same it's just the view that's different. Rooms are clean, bathroom is good, no tea or coffee in the room. We went to Lidl for a kettle etc. The pool is freezing but the sea is ok, however, it is difficult to get in if you have mobility issues. Night time entertainment is ok but not done by the animation team, they have local acts come in. Service for drinks is good, they would still like Kuna instead of Euro and I suggest you pay everything in Kuna as the exchange rate somewhat changes by the hour. Sunbeds can be a problem by the pool. Towels at dawn! The car park get very full and you will not get the same spot when you come back. The taxi firm is 13 euro into Porec we used Taxi Porec Marko, google and use messenger, lovely man. Parking in Porec can be hit and miss and is 1 euro p/h. Boat trips book on the harbour. The hotel is a lot of money for what you get, we drove and for the same price, 4 B&B on way down, 6B&B on way back, fuel, ferry, lunches and dinner, could have got Jamaica AI for 2 weeks. This is not the best coast line in Croatia, and it will be out last time, (we have driven 5 times).

Animation team were super cool and kind. One time when nobody else come to afternoon aerobic one girl danced with my 11 year old daughter whole 45 minutes! They were realy fun, helpful and wonderful with kids. Otherwise, pool is great and hotel is very clean. Animation in the evening was olso great, music and show.

Had a great time at the hotel with my family, especially with the sport anf children activities by the entertainment team - Adrian, Doris, Nikola, Una, Maro and Nea. Also the food is great, the staff is helpful and everything is also accessible for families with babies.

We spent an enjoyable five days here and we would reccomend it! Besides the good food and very practical happy meal option we really had fun with activities team. Activities were interesting and animation team made us have some honest fun. Special thanks to them!
