Hotel Amfora Reviews

First time to croatia and it won't be my last. The people are so freindly and helpful.I have never returned from a holiday so relaxed!!!

When we arrive in Rabac the deal was that we were to be given one of three hotels Hotel Amfora was by far the best hotel as we had a sea view to die for with a balcony and aircon. The food in the restaurant was self serve and top rate with something for everyone plus everywhere was clean. It has 1 swimming pool and 1 baby pool with sun loungers.
I would give the hotel and staff 10 out of 10

The Beach is a stones throw away and you can swim in it.
One tip from the locals is to buy some footware (50 kuno from one of the stalls or shops)to wear when you go in the sea as the pebbles get very hot and only the tourists are seen going ouch as they walk on the hot pebbles.
We had a nice walk along the sea front every day and evening where there are lots of coffee shops, ice cream parlours, restaurants, gift shops and stalls selling marano glass jewelery etc.
And all so cheap!!!
You can also get the local bus into town or even go as far a Pula and even take a taxi.

The trip to venice is a must at 525 Kuna (£50) which includes the tour guide only. you have extras to pay for if you want which are:- special tour which takes you round the parts that the tourists don't go and a boat ride to st marks square for 6 euros, gondol ride for 24 euros, lunch 13 euro and 19 euros and a taxi boat ride for 23 euros. Children are half price up to the age of 16.
also on the return boat ride home they sell gifts from 3 euros to 10 euros which range from small face masks to marano glass and venice dvds and calenders.
Also don't forget the duty free shop.

We paid for the special tour and taxi boat ride which were good and didn't book the meal but bought a slice of pizza for 2 euros each down a side street. we were told by people that paid for the meals that they were microwaved which was a shame for the price they charged.

Don't forget to tell the hotel that you are going on the trip the night before as they will pack you a breakfast to take with you and leave a cold plate of food in your room for your return.

The other trips available were:- Best of Istra, the Plitice lakes, Dubrovnik,Slovenia's Creations of Nature,Slovenia and Lake Bled,Discover the Brijuni Island, Cruise to the island of cres, Croatian Village Party Night, and Canoeing/Rafting.
