Hotel Mimosa Lido Palace - Maslinica Hotels & Resorts

The hotel is in a complex, and the area around it is picturesque. Our room was lovely but the heating was on, and no air conditioning provided. We found turning off the heat and leaving our door and the patio door open cooled things down. We slept well. The towels were changed daily, and the beds made up to a fashion. There were two duvets folded on both sides of a double bed, but not set out. Each evening we had to spread the duvets out before getting into bed. The bed was very comfortable and the curtains kept the light out. The first night I could hear loud music from the restaurant area, This went on until 23:30, fortunately this did not happen again for 7 days! The bathroom was modern, but the tiles on the floor in the room were potential slip hazards when wet, this was the case in the hotel as well. One evening somebody slipped over in the restaurant ,,and had to be taken to hospital. There was only one mains socket on the wall, and the fridge was plugged into another, There could be more mains sockets or USB sockets provided. Our grown up son had a single room which was much smaller than ours, but also it only had one mains socket. There is no kettle provided, so be sure to take one with you. The breakfast and the main meal in the evening were of high standard, and buffet style which we like. The cappuccino from the machines is good. It is rare nowadays to find a hotel that provides hot food, it was not Cordon Bleu, standard but well cooked and there is at variety of choices. There are vegetarian options, which our son appreciated The desserts were lovely as well!. Unusually we got our first drink of the evening in with the cost of half board, we could have wine, beer, or a soft drink, and had to present the card for our room each time. The indoor pool was OK, but had salt water in it. We tried the hotel next door, which we were told welcomed people to use their indoor pool which was chlorinated, this was lovely. The staff were lovely in the restaurant, as were the staff on reception, especially Sara was friendly and helpful. The hotel is near to the beach, and also there is a short walk along the promenade into the fishing village of Rabac which is very pretty. Overall a fantastic break, with good food, and also close to boat trips and walks. My son and I walked up the hill, through the forest up to Labin which is a medieval town on top of the hill it is a great walk if you can climb up rocks etc. I am 70 and managed it.

Would strongly recommend everyone to avoid staying at this hotel. Rooms with a musty smell, the worst / most uncomfortable pillows ever and worst of everything you are not safe leaving your personal belongings unattended. I left my phone phone charger in the room, called to kindly ask them to send it back to me (at my own cost, of course) and they absolutely ignored my request and disrespected me; I called 3 days in a row and every time they told me that would get back to me, it's been over a week and nothing. Really bad experience.

It is a very nice hotel. Perfect for families.
