Excellent
Very good. Fantastic Maro Club group. Technologically equipped. Super helpful and precise. Lots of activities. Recommended also and especially for families with children or teenagers. Even the games are not trivial, but stimulate creativity.

Lovely location disappointing stay
We stayed in the Punta Blu section of the site, which was tucked away in the back corner. The rooms were small but practical, with a small kitchen, bathroom and some storage for clothes. There was also a sofa bed, although putting it up would have made the room feel very cramped.
The pool area was well maintained, and Jadranka, the lady looking after the pool area, was excellent and very helpful. The double beds at the pool had nets that had broken off from previous users, but this didn’t stop us enjoying the area. The happy hour by the pool, where prosecco and snacks were provided, was a great addition and very well received. Bikes were also provided free of charge by the pool, which was a nice touch, although unfortunately they were too big for my wife.
One downside was that at night the pool attracted lots of seagulls, which made it less appealing. A pool cover would probably help with this.
Breakfast was more than half a mile away from the accommodation, down a hill. For anyone with limited mobility, this could be a problem. However, it was worth the walk as the breakfast was plentiful and very nice.
The beach was also over half a mile away, and taking the steps made the walk quite hard work. One big plus is that you get free sunbeds at the beach, although if the attendant isn’t there, the local reception staff don’t seem to know anything about this.
The centre was just under a mile away, again involving a walk down a hill. With children, walking back after a few drinks became quite a chore. There were also lots of people travelling around on e-bikes and scooters, so you really had to keep your wits about you.
Signage around the site was also quite poor, which meant we spent a fair amount of time wandering around aimlessly trying to find our way. There was also a land train available, but we were not provided with any information about it during our stay. An information pack in the accommodation or clearer details on the app would have been very helpful.
Unfortunately, we found the reception staff rather unhelpful and they didn’t seem to know much about the local area. We asked them to arrange a taxi as we didn’t have a car, but were quoted €300 for a 32-mile round trip to Rovinj, which was obviously far too expensive for us.
The restaurants were another disappointment, as we felt the food was overpriced for what it was.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here without a car, particularly if you have young children or anyone with mobility issues. Be prepared for quite a lot of walking, including some steep hills. The accommodation and pool itself were pleasant, Jadranka was fantastic, the happy hour was a lovely touch, and the breakfast was very good, but the location and lack of helpful local information made the stay more hard work than we expected.

Dear Mr. Karl,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us.
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the accommodation and pool area, particularly the service provided by Jadranka, as well as the breakfast and Happy Hour. We will be happy to share your compliments with her.
We are sorry, however, that the size of the campsite, distances between facilities and the lack of clear information made your stay more demanding than expected. Lanterna is a very large resort, and we understand that some areas can be quite challenging to reach, especially for guests with children or mobility limitations.
We also regret your comments regarding the reception service, signage, and information about the tourist train. Your feedback will be forwarded to the responsible teams so these aspects can be reviewed and improved.
Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a more comfortable experience.
Kind regards,
Đoni Šimonović
Direktor

Very good
I very much enjoyed my stay at this Camping site, however there was one waiter who served at the pizza restaurant near the reception and his name was Thomislav, he spoke perfect English and he was a pleasure to be around. I would highly rest recommend both this restaurant and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have a waiter as good as him.

Terrible
Hello, just wanted to mention briefly. The A100 pitch is not recommended, regardless of whether you are a family, a couple, etc. We checked in at 9:45 PM; they were just about to close. We had already reserved in February. And despite the reservation, they had given us this A100 spot. The walkway to the wash area was there. Right through the middle. They did not tell us that in advance with three small children. I had more privacy at the restroom. Apart from that, no additional plug for electricity was ready. There were glass shards everywhere at the site. No idea, they will not see us again.

Sehr geehrter Gast,
vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback.
Es tut uns leid, dass Stellplatz A100 Ihre Erwartungen nicht erfüllt hat, insbesondere hinsichtlich Lage, Privatsphäre und Zustand bei Ihrer Ankunft. Wir bedauern auch die Unannehmlichkeiten durch das zerbrochene Glas und werden dies an das zuständige Team weiterleiten.
Wir möchten Sie außerdem darauf hinweisen, dass die Stellplatzvergabe während der Hauptsaison, wenn der Campingplatz voll belegt ist, besonders schwierig sein kann, da die Verfügbarkeit sehr begrenzt ist und Gästen ohne Reservierung nur wenige Alternativen zur Verfügung stehen.
Gästen mit konkreten Wünschen bezüglich der Lage ihres Stellplatzes bieten wir die Möglichkeit einer Festplatzreservierung über unser Reservierungszentrum. So können Sie – je nach Verfügbarkeit – einen bestimmten Stellplatz im Voraus reservieren.
Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis und hoffen, dass Ihnen diese Informationen bei Ihrem nächsten Aufenthalt bei uns hilfreich sind.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Đoni Simonović
