Hotel Sipar Plava Laguna

We spent here a long weekend, wanted somewhere close enough with not too long to travel with varied options for children and it did not disappoint. On the contrary, we enjoyed it very much and we regretted that we only booked for the weekend. The Hotel is directly on the shore with 2 small sandy beaches, and 2 more where you can use the ladder to get into the sea. We booked the superior room, we got upgraded to a room with balcony, which was amazing and highly appreciated. The view from there was lovely on the "park" side, it wasn't loud at all. The room itself was big enough for the 3 of us (2 adults, 1 child) we found the bed comfy, with the aircon and the large storage space, the good sized bathroom with shower and the mini-fridge. We booked half-board, there were plenty to choose from with live cooking-stations both for breakfast and dinner. There was a long line at 18:30 when they opened so we recommend going a bit later to avoid waiting. You get a bracelet upon checking in with which you can access the children's pool area, that has a water playground, water slides and a slightly warmer swimming pool, these are all with non-salty water. They have all day entertaining for children at the kid's club, in 3 languages: Croatian, English and German. Plenty of sunbeds around. The hotel also has 3 adjoining swimming pools with different water depths which are filled with salty water. Again, plenty of loungers around. You can rent beach towels from the hotel with a EUR 15 deposit (not fee). A cocktail bar right outside the hotel swimming pools, than a beach bar (Marea) between the hotel and the children's area and some other kiosks (like a bakery and a smoothie and waffle place) right there next to the facilities can provide lunch. 3 children's playground just outside and a short walk to the neighboring harbor to check on the yachts. Plenty of parking spaces, tennis court, other restaurants. Highly recommend, will be back!

Room cleaning was good. Daily fresh towels. Buffet meals are good quality and give a wide choice. Staff are friendly and helpful. Inclusive membership of Punta Pool club was great. Sea is warm and buoyant.

Perfect location and perfect hotel for the families with the small kids. Food was excellent, breakfast and dinner included. Friendly staff, and lot of fun for children.

The hotel is impecable. Clean, with really nice staff, very well organized. We had half-board and the food was all through out very good. The location is great: sea front with sea view from almost every room, in a quiet area of Umag. Facilities were great: we had plenty to choose from (sea with concrete & stairs entry, pool, small public beach with sand and small water entrance, aquapark with activity team for kids, inflatable water park in walking distance, all kinds of water sports, tree park with shade in front of sea, enough sun beds, yoga in the morning or pool aerobics). Rooms were good size, with confortable beds, very well sound proofed. Short distance to Motovun, Groznjan, or Jama Grotta Beredine, Rovinj,Trieste. Evening events with music was tastefull and low key.

The hotel is ideal for families. It's definitely a kid-friendly hotel. We enjoyed almost everything. We have to say that we really like the services provided and the staff. I want to thank Martina (the manager) for fulfilling a request that I made. The staff at the bar is also very friendly. The hotel has a "private" beach in front of it. The waterpark for guest use is also nice. Small "sand" beach nearby.
