Mixed.At all times remind yourself that this is a 3* hotel! When you squint your eyes, the setting fools you into thinking you're at a far fancier establishment. This messes with your expectations.
Positive first- The island is beautiful. The views are spectacular. Breakfast is good. Boat to Rovinj is regular and on time.
Negative - 1. Accessibility is poor. Lift doesn't stop at the lobby.
2. Rooms are large and clean - but old. Peeling paint, broken fittings and 1980's furnishings all show that the hotel's budget and maintenance has slipped.
3. Food at dinner is poor, it's a buffet. It's clean and fresh but again, it's low budget per head stuff.
4. Staff - not all, but some are really miserable.
5. Beaches - rocky - not strictly the hotel's problem but Rovinj has a problem with slimy algae bloom that sticks to your skin went you swim in the sea.
6. The pool. it hasn't been maintained - cracked tiles and rusty patches. To prevent the spread of algae, the water in the pool is incredibly salty which makes your eyes sting.
7. Non hotel guests - The island itself is public and quite properly day visitors come to the island to chill. They use the hotel grounds and services which means that on a busy day or on a day when the algae is bad they use the hotel pool area limiting access to sunbeds. Staff don't care or are scared to intervene when visitors behave badly. Teens jumping from an ornamental bridge into a shallow kids pool.

While the island and outdoor areas are beautiful, the hotel rooms are extremely dated, not clean and not as pictured. Getting to and from the island is easy via ferry but cumbersome to do anything. The food at the hotel was also not great so we had to go into town for every meal. I was truly disappointed at the quality of the rooms- very dated, sparse, not at all nice or luxurious- was also dirty

A short boat ride takes you to an uncrowded lush island with killer views of Old Town. A special place

The place could be amazing, its exterior is fantastic, great views, and fabulous potential. Needs updating, upgrading, and complete remodel. Staff are rude, barman outright hostile even when asking for a drink.
The buffets are so mediocre that the only reason to have breakfast there is that there is no other option.
This has been the most expensive place we stayed in Croatia and its accommodations were the worst: soviet-era mattress, shower that cannot fit a large person, furniture from the 1970s or 1980s, A/C that can wake a troop of tired soldiers, and towels you wouldn't use to dry your dog.

Absolutely gorgeous property - island !! Hotel and rooms are ready for a re-do updating. With some investment this property could easily become a de-luxe category it deserves based on its exclusive location.
Day-visitors / bathers should not be allowed in order to give your guests the privacy they deserve and are paying for.
We had a great experience / super friendly and helpful staff at reception, housekeeping and transportation areas. Keep up the good work.
We will come back to stay on the island for sure!! Thank you.

Lovely hotel on a small island which is kept in good order. The boat to and from the island leaves promptly every hour, from 5 am until after midnight and takes 3-4 mins to reach Rovinj. The boat is free for hotel guests. The large swimming pool and surrounding area is very clean with plenty of sunbeds. Also lots of sunbeds on the lawn and beaches around the island. The food in restaurant is varied and well prepared. We were glad to have taken half board as it was brilliant value. Our room was fairly basic but large and comfortable with a good fridge. The balcony was huge with a partial sea view. We enjoyed our stay here very much.

We had an amazing one-night stay at this island resort hotel that is just a few minutes by ferryboat from old town Rovinj. The grounds are beautiful, facilities well maintained, great swimming, and frequent transit to the mainland. We opted for half-board, which included dinner and breakfast in the hotel dining room, and we were quite satisfied with the selection and quality of the food. Would definitely stay here again, especially if we could have a room with a view of Rovinj again!

Just one night, and due to the location I'd have preferred to stay in town. A grand old hotel but a little past prime and somewhat dated. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is good, not great.

Beautiful island hotel, easily accessible to/from Rovinj by private ferry. Rooms were a little basic but large, with lots of closets and balconies offering great views. A/C and bathrooms were fine. Nice walking paths and gardens to explore on the island, as well as pools and a beach. Buffet breakfast with a large selection was included. Overall, the beauty of the location made this hotel really stand out.

This hotel is ok for the money but we found the service was slow and sometimes could be a little more helpful. Also the quality of a la carte food in the evening was not great comparing it to other hotels I've stayed in. The rooms do not have tea or coffee making facilities which I know to some is a must and I did miss that after a long day in the sun. This meant you had to buy everything from the hotel putting up your end bill. The rooms are a little tired but clean. All in all I would probably not choose this hotel again. It needs to up its game especially with the new Eden hotel opened right across the water.

Nice place on an island outside of the city. Only couple of minutes with boat once that runs. Difficult to find the boat and parking at the city. Only way was to call the hotel and then things started to roll. They should add information about the piers, parking and boat schedule easily available in their website. Nice an quiet island in early May when there were not that many people at the hotel.

It was nice to stay on the island and easy to get across to a Rovinj on the ferry. The buffet breakfast was great too. The rooms are a little outdated though and small. You have to pay for wifi, it’s not included.

When we arrived to the address Šetalište Vijeća Europe, which was given in net pages, we realized that there were construction works ongoing and no parking place nor boat connection to the Island.
I called to Maistra's call centre and they asked us to go to Valdipora for instructions. We looked to the map and noticed that there was a Valdipora in the old town. Started to drive towards it and accidentally on the way there, we noticed that there was a sign saying that for hotel Katarina´s customers there was an info point. So with luck we found the right place! Just now when I'm writing I saw from the map that this parking lot is named "Parking Place Mala Valdibora".
The officers on that site were totally unorganized. Nobody was telling what to do next. Many people got angry due to arrangements. More cars for the transportations to the final parking lots should have been needed.
The dampness in the room was quite big before we noticed the warming device.
