Hotel Materada Plava Laguna

Super good hotel with activities at the pool. Nice garden with many different kind of trees.

My partner and I stayed here the first week off October. We booked a package holiday (half board) with easyJet holidays. Grounds and surroundings to the hotel were kept extremely clean and tidy and the views were great, especially from our balcony. I did like it how calm and peaceful it felt, as well as very safe. There is a path at the bottom of the hotel which you can follow to some nice beach bars. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Big shout out to the guy doing the ice creams, he went above and beyond. Only issue was the food was very plain and simple. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are after a more peaceful resort.

Great hotel. Food was excellent, staff was excellent, pool is really nice, and everything is handicap accessible, sea is 2 min walk from lobby. The only thing I had a hard time with was, how small the rooms were. As 2 people we already had a problem to fit with couple suitcases and some water stuff, having kids in the room would be impossible. But the beds are comfortable, bathroom is modern and nice. Just know the rooms are small and if you don’t mind, the hotel is great and I would highly recommend. Oh and the AC works really well!!!

Great hotel albeit a little out of the way. Very clean, good food except the coffee at breakfast was awful. The restaurant is a bit like a canteen and if you want a table outside be prepared for a 6:30pm dash! Free wine and beer at dinner but not the best quality. No problem with sun beds, plenty available without having to get up at silly o’clock. Would suggest you email the hotel to ask for a room overlooking the pool on a high floor. We were in room 452, which was perfect. Not many Brits at the hotel but wasn’t a pooroblem. Porec old town is fabulous, there is a little tourist train from the Valamar Marea hotel for 2 euros each way. Cuts down the walking time from 45 mins to about 20mins. Plenty of restaurants in the area to eat out. Prices very reasonable. Overall a great holiday

Check in strictly after 2. 3 lifts however only 2 go to dinning/pool. They also break down due to the amount of people using them. The rooms on both side are the same it's just the view that's different. Rooms are clean, bathroom is good, no tea or coffee in the room. We went to Lidl for a kettle etc. The pool is freezing but the sea is ok, however, it is difficult to get in if you have mobility issues. Night time entertainment is ok but not done by the animation team, they have local acts come in. Service for drinks is good, they would still like Kuna instead of Euro and I suggest you pay everything in Kuna as the exchange rate somewhat changes by the hour. Sunbeds can be a problem by the pool. Towels at dawn! The car park get very full and you will not get the same spot when you come back. The taxi firm is 13 euro into Porec we used Taxi Porec Marko, google and use messenger, lovely man. Parking in Porec can be hit and miss and is 1 euro p/h. Boat trips book on the harbour. The hotel is a lot of money for what you get, we drove and for the same price, 4 B&B on way down, 6B&B on way back, fuel, ferry, lunches and dinner, could have got Jamaica AI for 2 weeks. This is not the best coast line in Croatia, and it will be out last time, (we have driven 5 times).

Animation team were super cool and kind. One time when nobody else come to afternoon aerobic one girl danced with my 11 year old daughter whole 45 minutes! They were realy fun, helpful and wonderful with kids. Otherwise, pool is great and hotel is very clean. Animation in the evening was olso great, music and show.

Had a great time at the hotel with my family, especially with the sport anf children activities by the entertainment team - Adrian, Doris, Nikola, Una, Maro and Nea. Also the food is great, the staff is helpful and everything is also accessible for families with babies.

We spent an enjoyable five days here and we would reccomend it! Besides the good food and very practical happy meal option we really had fun with activities team. Activities were interesting and animation team made us have some honest fun. Special thanks to them!
