Reviews for Hotel Rocca Dorada
Review 1:Dreadful food (worst meal I had in Corsica or Sardinia by far) much better places to eat at Pula and I would probably stay there if I return. Nora closed even though there was a break in the weather and we pleaded. A kettle would have been useful in the room. Wifi was pretty useless.
Review 2:Pleasant outdoor area and room. Pleasant staff at reception, Toto and cleaners. Close to great beaches, hotel provides transport there and back. Fridge in room. Bags taken to room from car and back.
Review 3:Spa was open - bikes not available for renting while mentioned on website. Tennis court old dated - would need to be refreshed
Review 4:Staff at reception is very friendly and helpful! Beauty treatment very nice.
Review 5:The rooms are located in bungalows widely spread around the main building. So the hotel has more the flair of a camping site than a 4 star hotel. Be prepared to walk some hundred meters to reach the reception or the pool bar which is located somewhere in the bungalow area.
Review 6:the cleanliness of the room- I was infested with mosquitoes in my first room and the second room had spiders. the wifi was only in reception and wasnt great for work purposes. Light in the room wasnt ideal for working and bathroom fixtures were old and not ideal.
Review 7:the breakfast and lunch staff were lovely especially one waiter. even the reception staff were friendly and tried to be helpful. the pool area was nice and relaxing
Review 8:- no free water - little bit pricey - needs some maintainance
Review 9:- helpful staff - excellent clean sea and beach - it's not very popular there, but were amazed by old Roman road going though the mountains. Seems nobody even know that it ends 100 meters from the hotel. if you like hiking, take a look to opensteetmap! 3 hours of walk though amazing mountain landscape. - nothing special in breakfasts, but lunches are really of awesome quality. - live music
Review 10:You need to take a shuttle bus to the beach, that was not as expected. Wifi was very bad and only in the lobby available.
Review 11:Staff was friendly, the little terrace nice.
Review 12:Situated directly on the main road, loud, nothing else within walking distance. You need to hire a car or scooter to get to other restaurants. Hotel restaurant has limited choice. For a 4* hotel shower was primitive, water was often cold, shower head fixed position and water sprayed in all directions. WiFi lousy Room we had was facing to bar and late night entertainment which was simply loud. Hotel is not internationally minded. Hotel has private beach but you are not allowed to use that part of the beach unless you pay extra for sunbeds (up to € 24 per day). Check extras when leaving e.g, bar, minibar, etc in case someone else used your room number "accidently".
Review 13:breakfast could have been a bit more varied, 10 days of same food gets boring after a while. Wifi was very slow and at times nonexistent. Furniture could use a bit of a touch up as well as the pool area.
Review 14:Very kind and super helpful staff, beautiful plants & nature around the resort.
Review 15:Our bed was fitted with a flat sheet which rode up. Our bathroom hadn't been cleaned properly. I get the sense that this was an oversight and not very common though. Far from other restaurants.
Review 16:Very warm pool! Friendly and helpful staff. Evening entertainment.
Review 17:Having to pay extra for two beach chairs and a parasol at the beach! (Almost 30 euros for a family of four!)
Review 18:Great pool, beach shuttle. Quiet atmosphere.
Review 19:the hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Taxi charges too high for a small distance. one needs a car if he doesn't want to be locked in that place. Food in the resto was good overall, but they don't use much vegetables.. breakfast was so so: no fresh fruits and juices, no choice of wholegrain bread..
Review 20:sleep quality was good and staff was kind and friendly.
Review 21:Not a proper 4*: facilities just at 3* standard. Pool small, tiny bedroom for 4, bathroom tiles with black marks. Shuttle service from beach back to hotel ends at 7pm--- when it is the best time to enjoy the beach!!!!
Review 22:One of the best beaches!!! And they provide the chaise longues and ombrella! Also a couple of canoa for free (although they could have more!)
Review 23:Quite far from other restaurants, entertainment areas.
Review 24:Staff extremely polite and efficient
Review 25:Hard to find, no wifi, no value for money :(
Review 26:It had nice staff
Review 27:Needs some maintenance
Review 28:Lovely, friendly staff throughout the result
Review 29:the position of the room, just above the animations stage. the transfer to the beach
Review 30:The location close to very nice beaches
Review 31:Breakfast could be better
Review 32:Nice staff and room
Review 33:Most unfriendly staff at the reception one could ever encounter. Room was too small and the bathroom shower curtain was made of fabric. Quite understandably it smelled bad and caused the bathroom to stink. Bathroom door had to be lifted to be opened and was sliding against the floor. Incredible attitude of all the ladies at the reception, except one. Never stay there.
Review 34:Location was good. Close to Chia.
Review 35:The location wasn't for me. I never had a car and public transport is sparse. If you love the beach and love the peace and quiet then this is the place to go.
Review 36:Location ideal for the beach. a car is essential for visiting all the adjoining beaches. the staff at reception are first class. The hotel is exceptionally well maintained and spotlessly clean.
Review 37:Pool area, no toilet, poor pool bar, non sympatic pool guy. Beachmembership charge even if you did not use the beach at the hotel. Wepaid 144 Euro for that extra even if we did not use the beach. No toiletor bar at the private beach either.
Review 38:Location
Review 39:Too few of the staff could communicate in english. Breakfast was kind of boring, no fruit, not much too choose from. I think the hotel is very nice for italians, maybe not that nice for english speaking. (activities etc..)
Review 40:Staff was helpful when the AC in our room broke down, they gave us another room Amazing beaches with hotel private beach, and Chia beach. Pula was a nice village, great shopping.
Review 41:-Well, 20 years ago I would say that this is a nice hotel. It wouldstill be fine if someone takes care of it. The swimming pool area looksreally old and is not maintained, the same are the rooms which haven´tbeen re-furbished for a long long time. Rooms are dark and mine wassmelly with old stains on the wall (looked like water leaked from theair-con). -There is rubbish and old stuff such as old cars, old fenceetc. everywhere in the hotel area in places you do not normally walk to(ex. Behind the hedge of swimming pool area). -Broken facade on manyplaces and outdoor lights with a thick layer of flies and mosquitos -haven´t been cleaned for a long long time. -The hotel has a privatebeach which was smelling by fekals or something like this during theday of our visit - so the days after we rather drove to SantaMargherita and Chia to much nicer beaches. -The announced"furnished patio" is a cheap plastic table with 2-3 chairs infront of the door on the corridor, not on the balcony. -Hotel chargesextra 6 or 8 eur for the use of swimming pool, animation and beach -even if you are not using this.
Review 42:-Location is fine, close to Pula, Nora, Chia - car is needed. -Okevening animation program but only in Italian -Friendly staff (hotel isoverstaffed..) but almost noone speak English -ok breakfasts -For megood value for money (special last minute booking) but for full price itis not worth it.
Review 43:The hotel is quite old and you can feel it. There are details thatbother me - such as just 5 tv channels (all Italian), little showerwith curtain, frowst in the room and problems with hot water(sometimes it was only cold one and sometimes you have to wait 5minutes to get warmer).
Review 44:I was there before season (June) and the price was the biggestadvantage. The other is localization near bus stop and 10 minutest walkfrom beach. The beach is not bad but fortunately it's close to Chiaand even more beautiful beaches.
Review 45:Pay 7 euro fee P.P. per day A.O. for animating team. Beds at beached areclose together.
Review 46:Close to beach, parking space in front of hotel, room with all needs,good facilities (swimming pool)
Review 47:The rooms do not not have a nice view, although they stay cool.
Review 48:The staff was very kindly. The restaurant was very good.
Review 49:Tv with 5 channels but all italian , poor breakfast no shop
Review 50:Nice location , pleasent staff beautiful and clean beach
Review 51:the pool opens late, there is no cafeteria or alternative for the mass-meals
Review 52:the location is handy, most staff are very friendly
