Food and quality and service all great.
Lovely hotel with lots of activities for kids and older kids. Really well organised hotel. Mainly young families and old folk from Italy, Austria and Germany. There is a great indoor pool with sprays and jets etc, a very good "Animation" (4hrs Mini Club for kids to paint and make crafts) and easy to use in-room internet (all free) you can ask for a cable or go wireless from the lobby. The food nice clean and is straightfoward and there is always something for everyone to eat at breakfast and dinner. The stony beach isn't everyone's cup of tea but you get used to it quite quickly and don't have to worry about bringing sand back into the hotel room.
Tennis is cheap as is tabletennis and bikes which make the trip into town very relaxing. If you think it might be too hot, even for the bikes then there is a train-car thing that costs 10 kuna and takes you to the marina pretty much in the centre left of the town, every 40 mins? maybe.
If you like a slapup buffet breakfast, swimming, dropping the kids off to do painting and learning croatian, ice cream and watermelon every evening with your over the top buffet dinner and browsing the web when the weather is too hot, then this is a good option.
