Hotel Beli Kamik I i II

This is an old, tired hotel with nothing special about it. We arrived on the day they were switching the air conditioning to winter mode. At first, it gave out barely any cool air and smelled like a teenager's trainers. I suspect the filter was dusty or the condensate drain moldy. By later that evening, the controls only offered heat. The central system was set to 23°C, but our room reached an uncomfortable 27°C. After getting badly bitten by mosquitoes earlier, I didn't want to open the door, but eventually did and somehow survived. Maybe they had already taken all my blood. The electrics were questionable too. One socket was coming away from the wall, and another stopped working when my wife plugged in her phone charger. We had half board; the food was okay, more about quantity than quality, though perhaps some people like a wider selection. Staff were working hard to clear plates and restock. The service corridor, which also serves as a staff entrance, is to the hotel's left by the steps to car park 1. Looking down there might make you wonder about hygiene behind the scenes. There were some large coaches in town during our stay, but once that crowd had cleared the buffet was quite peaceful. There was no kettle in the room, but there was a fridge, which made the already hot room even warmer. The room key was an old-fashioned single key, so I couldn't leave my wife asleep while I went stargazing. I would have had to leave the room unlocked, lock her inside, or wake her when I came back, so I stayed in.

We were a family and liked the hotel a lot. The staff were kind and helpful, the rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily, and there was entertainment for children every day, including movies, dancing, and magic. The hotel organizes it all. The food was planned for the whole hotel, and it was good. There was enough variety to work through the breakfast options over three or four days and the dinner choices over five or six. Everything we tried was tasty. This felt like a four-star hotel, not a three-star one. I have a few suggestions: update the room switches, adjust the cleaning schedule so it doesn't sometimes happen during a child's lunchtime nap (that's not a complaint), and put curtains around the bathtubs to keep water from splashing out. Everything else was great.

We had a lovely first family holiday in Croatia, with beautiful sea and mountain views and great sunsets. The beach and local shops are along a long walk. Towels were changed daily if you needed them, and to have the bedroom cleaned you just had to hang the sign on the door frame. There was air conditioning and a small fridge in the room. It was very hot for two weeks, and the air conditioning gave us trouble on and off for two days. The manager called to apologize and gave us a discount, which was great. The food and drinks were good, though the beds could be more comfortable.

We had a renovated, comfortable room with a sea view. Vedran, the director, and Leona at reception welcomed us warmly and helped with everything we needed. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, with lots to choose from and everything we tried cooked just right. The hotel is two minutes from the beach and a three-minute walk from restaurants and cafes. It's also a handy base for exploring Istria: Rijeka and Opatija are about 40 minutes away by car, and Porec is an hour and a half away. I highly recommend it if you'd like to stay somewhere beautiful on Krk with excellent food and a good location for exploring Istria.
