The hotel located on an island, the place very charming, many things to do on the island or in the town of Rovijn, you can stay on the island there is a restaurant on site, but in the evening the town is magnificent! We loved the landscapes, the hotel as an oasis! Highly recommend!

The Maistra Select Island Hotel in Istra is the best coaching holiday hotel I have ever experienced. The staff were very warm, friendly and super efficient, the rooms were exquisite with a balcony looking over the sea, the food was excellent - large numbers of people were catered for efficiently with a constant stream of freshly cooked eggs and bacon produced at breakfast. Dinner was equally good with every taste catered for and fresh coffee. beer and wine on tap. The bracelet system access to rooms, food, ferry to Rovinj, spa and bar bill is super efficient.

Just returned from a week at this hotel and wished I’d booked for two weeks! The hotel is lovely, spotlessly clean with beautiful grounds to walk around and a walkway to another smaller island. My room was fine with a very comfy bed, lots of storage space and a great view. As others have mentioned, it does seem odd to provide a kettle and cups but no tea, coffee or milk. I did buy some milk from the bar but it was UHT and not nice. However, there is a small supermarket in Rovinj near to where the ferry lands where you can buy anything you need. I was staying on a half board basis and the dining room did get very busy. The food is standard hotel buffet food but with a lot of variety and you could help yourself to as much wine or beer as you wanted at dinner. Because the weather was so good, I sat outside with friends most evenings which was lovely. There were some mosquitoes but I don’t think anyone was badly bitten. The outside pools were never very busy and the indoor pool and jacuzzi were excellent. Everywhere was well maintained and very clean. The ferry is every hour and very punctual and it only takes 20 minutes to reach the mainland. The old town of Rovinj was a real treat. Small cobbled streets which lead up to the church with lots of tiny shops. The newer part was also worth walking round with lots of restaurants and interesting shops. It really is a beautiful place. I always found the hotel staff very pleasant and helpful and they worked really hard to keep everything perfect. I can certainly recommend it.

Just returned from a week in this absolutely beautiful hotel. The setting is amazing, so peaceful. The staff, everyone, were so helpful and friendly. The place is spotless inside and out. The Buffet breakfast and Evening meal had something for all tastes along with refillable beers and wines. The pools are wonderful, the gardens and walks are a treat, just a lovely peaceful fun break. The hotel does cater to all but the majority of guests were German or Austrian. We had a garden view room which was fine, not much of a view but we only slept in it so not a problem Our only problems we could comment on was the air conditioning, we couldn't adjust it and it was very warm in the nights. Also, although there was a kettle there were no complimentary teas or coffee and the only way to boil it was to place it on the floor as no socket near to it, this was very dangerous, especially if you had children. There are mosquitos and they bite! There is no shop on the island to purchase refreshments for your room however there is a supermarket just up from where you catch the ferry on the mainland in Rovinj. Talking about the ferry, what a treat this was as a regular "on time" connection between the hotel on the island to Rovinj. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be visiting again soon hopefully.

Beautiful public areas with great views. Lovely beach and pools and I loved sitting on the terrace Rooms are a bit dated though and basic. We had a nasty view over the spa area which was in turns noisy when they turned the jacuzzi on and also got a full view then of rather large naked people getting in an out so didn't want to sit on the tiny balcony Bathroom very small and dingy. Shower door a bit broken and smelt of drains occassionally The buffet is not really premium and gets very crowded. Also given the demographic of the guests I was very surprised that there was no brown or rye bread. Croissants were very good though. After the 2nd day though we found a much quieter area on the left hand side to sit down We had half board, but went to Rovinj for 2 nights to eat as otherwise a bit repetitive and so many nice restaurants there You have to get the ferry over and we had a disaster 1 morning when we could not get on as so many tour groups leaving and everyone could not get on and a large Scandinavian group was barging eve everyone out of the way - very badly managed by the hotel Lots of nice restaurants in Rovinj - we really liked Maestral - lovely staff andf great grilled fish

Let me start by saying that the location of this hotel is idyllic, with wonderful views. I have stayed in many wonderful hotels around the world: however, this hotel was not one of them! The Maistre Select Island Hotel Istra did not live up to its four star rating. The accommodation is rather basic, rooms dated and in need of modernisation, and buffet restaurant reminiscent of a noisy works canteen. The constant miserable penny pinching of the hotel management became tiresome during our eleven day stay, some staff ok but many others miserable, unhelpful and rather rude. Pros: Plentiful sun loungers, nice swimming pools, great view from room, good air con in room (swiftly fixed when I complained it wasn’t working), punctual and efficient ferry service. Cons: sp**** and utilitarian bedrooms, only two useable power sockets: outdated bathroom (I flooded ours the first time I had a shower, as the shower screen didn’t fit - I had to shower every time by crouching in the bath while holding the shower head aimed at the bath plug): a strange storage area where I couldn’t hang any of my dresses as wardrobe not full length, although I could hardly reach the rail: storage cupboards out of reach: miserable dank balcony that the sun never reached: expensive drinks all over the hotel and island: one bath towel and one small hand towel each, so thin and worn that I would have consigned to the bin: if you wanted a beach towel it was €4 each time. The thing that annoyed me most, however, was discovering that although our room had a tray with a kettle and two mugs, that was it….no coffee, tea or milk provided. Luckily, I had taken a box of tea bags, so when we arrived mid afternoon after a long journey, I went to ask for some milk…however, I was charged €2 for a tiny jug! As we were staying for 11 nights on half board, and had paid a considerable amount of money for the privilege, I felt this was excessive. When I queried this sum, the staff were both hostile and indifferent. I helped myself to sufficient milk for subsequent tea making from the buffet restaurant at breakfast time. This one incident enraged me to the extent that I will never return, and will not recommend to anyone else! In conclusion, i would say it would be better to stay in beautiful Rovinj, and just visit the island. if you asked me how I would rank this hotel, I would place it lower than the Travelodge at Worksop, but marginally better than the holiday camp at Minehead!

I found this hotel's location to be an ideal place for a contemplative solo holiday – it's just a pity that they have no single rooms, so I had to pay almost double what most other people would have paid. It was also just as well that I wasn't looking for company, as very few Brits there, the majority of people being German, I think. All the hotel's staff are so hard working, keeping the place very clean, and the tables in the dining rooms cleared, and any problems quickly resolved. The food was nice enough, but I have to say that the dining experience was not that great, with queues for drinks, soups, and main courses causing regular frustration. There were always 2 soups on offer, but one queue. Once at the head of the queue, most people would choose the clear soup, and faff about adding rice, peas, sweetcorn and herbs to their bowls. Everyone would be waiting in line, even if they wanted the thick soup, as they didn't want to be accused of jumping the queue. It would have been better to have clear signage above the soups, and 2 separate queues. At the end of 2 weeks of this, I was glad to get back to my microwave meals for one! The 2 adjoining islands are very peaceful, and it's easy to find a suitable spot on the rocks or one of the small beaches for sunbathing and swimming. Snorkeling is also pretty good, as quite a few different fish to see. Sometimes the jellyfish were a bit of a nuisance; apparently they can sting but are not harmful. I swam through swarms of them – they are only a few inches in diameter – but never felt any stings. There is plenty to do during the day – tennis courts, bicycle hire, kayak and paddle board hire, in and outdoor pools, sauna, massage, etc., but evenings were pretty dull. The last evening entertainment was on 4th October. There were also no excursions available from either Tui or the hotel, due to it being end of season. The hourly boat to Rovinj is great, always on time, and a lovely trip, sometimes with dolphins visible. Rovinj itself is pretty as a postcard, and lots of places to eat and artisan shops to browse. (Be warned though that these too were starting to close around 15th October.) I recommend climbing the bell tower at the Church of St. Euphemia, although not for the faint hearted or those with mobility issues. There are about 190 rickety old wooden steps to negotiate, but well worth it for the great views when you get to the top. Golden Cape Forest Park is also well worth a visit and just a pleasant 15-20 minute walk from where the boat drops you at the Delfin pier. Bikes can be hired in Rovinj if you prefer to cycle to the park. There is a bus station in Rovinj for those wanting to travel further afield, such as Porec or Pula. Oh, and the weather was great! Had expected at least some rain in October, but nearly every day was sunny and about 22'C – what's not to love?!

Location is beautiful - a boat ride from the main town but boats run every hour from 6am until midnight. The outside areas of the hotel are lovely - lots of sunloungers around the pools, by the sea and in the gardens so no sunbed rush at any time of day. A couple of extra options to pay to eat lunch at (we were half board) including a lovely italian bistro. Staff were all friendly and attentive and we were impressed by how many staff appeared not only to be able to speak English to a great standard but also German. There is also a small island attached via a walkway which is a pleasant walk around (I understand there is a nudist area on the far side of this island so something to be aware of depending on your personal preferences). No real issues whilst we were there. We stayed in room 283 (quoted as ‘inland view’ when booking) it did have some sea/trees view towards the front of the hotel however was situated over a walkway with the entrance to the spa underneath. Not a great issue but I would advise paying for a sea view room. The rooms are absolutely fine - maybe a little basic for a 4* and not very big but everything you need and very clean - rooms were freshened up daily including clean towels. The air con wasn’t great but the room was comfortable and the bathrooms need updating as are pink tiled with some wear and tear. The shower cubicles are also very small - not an issue for us as two fairly average sized adults but may be an issue if you are on the taller or larger side. Minimal time spent in the bathroom so it didn’t affect our stay massively but I think the hotel do need to look at updating to bring everything up to the same standard. Meals were good, we particularly found the local wine and beer on tap for the evening meal was good however meal times can be VERY busy (it’s a big hotel) and can feel a little cattle-market like. Personally, we would opt for bed and breakfast if staying here again although if you are a seasoned buffet meal goer I can’t see that you would have any issues here, just a matter of personal preference. At both breakfast and the evening meal, there was a very good selection and food was plentiful. Overall, a well oiled machine especially given the size of the place.
