The Grand Park is a fabulous hotel, an architectural masterpiece, that nestles seamlessly into the Rovinj coastline. A great deal of money has been spent on this hotel and it shows.
The good….
Absolutely beautiful pools, and plenty of good quality sun loungers.
Its harbour location is just a 10 minute stroll to the old town.
The staff - lots and all very helpful.
Fantastic, inclusive, breakfast - wonderful selection available.
Secure, free, underground parking
Excellent WiFi in all areas of the hotel
Brilliant bathrooms with the best EVER shower.
The could do better (would have made 5 stars if not for these)…
My husband and I are keen cyclists and were delighted to discover that Rovinj is a cycle-friendly town. The bikes for hire (free) from the hotel are old and poorly maintained. We had two cycling trips, on each occasion there were issues with both bikes - chain came off, gears skipping, kick stand fell off, calliper brakes so noisy that a bell was unnecessary, rusty sharp front basket that could snag a bag or even worse, skin! Hence there was a degree of jeopardy when taking these bikes out - we would have preferred to have paid for better quality bikes.
A minor gripe, but the cheap looking, and uncomfortable, rattan furniture used on the private balconies and scattered around the hotel jars with the overall luxury feel of the hotel.
