Overall really very good At check in we were told subbed where chargeable - luckily we had an email that told us ours were included - something about the date being 15/06 as chargeable - season change ? Otherwise that would have added €25 per day ! I do think hotels should not charge staying guests to use a facility ! I understand charging a day visitor Overall a great place - just that minor thing that luckily we resolved (by saving the messages !)

Loved the decor & views. Staff in dining area were very attentive & efficient. Reception staff pleasant but missed telling us about a few of the amenities & how to access them. Room - a little small, no bath mat so had to get an extra towel to use (didn’t want to slip). No kleenex in the room either.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Reception staff were often unfriendly and many did not understand English properly. Cleanliness was poor: spider webs all around the balconies, sheets dirty and even with holes, and the balcony was never cleaned during my stay. I lost a swimsuit from my balcony and the staff simply said “we didn’t find anything” without trying to help. Sunbeds are supposed to cost €5/day, but in reality no one pays and people use them freely without any staff controlling the situation. There is no support at the beach for umbrellas or sunbeds. At the bar, staff always looked annoyed and not welcoming.

Quiet location on headland adjacent to sea. Some building work in grounds in progress (new conference centre) with crane and some associated noise but not intrusive - September 2024) Good buffet breakfast. Short stroll into Petrcane bay with a handful of small bars and restaurants open. Regular nightly entertainment in bar / main public space area, so noisy and difficult to avoid without sitting outside. Not impressed by attention to cleanliness in room / bathroom during and between stay. Staff friendly. Tip: Ask hotel to arrange taxi transfers - €55 to/from Zadar airport - as we had to pay €85 from airport (after initial quote of €100.

We loved our stay at the hotel the only thing that put a dampener on things was the lady with the glasses working on reception. We have never encountered anyone so rude, dismissive and unhelpful in any hotels we have stayed in around the world. Every other member of staff was outstanding and friendly. This is the reason we would not return. The location of the hotel is stunning. The food was great. The spa, gym and swimming facilities are also fantastic. We would recommend renting a car for your stay as the bus service is infrequent. Uber’s were reliable but the cost can add up quite quickly. It’s only a 15 minute car ride to Zadar old town which is a must and so are the national parks.

Front desk staff where not as friendly as the locals in the village. Towels in the room had stains and garbage was left on the counter. The air conditioner did not get the room cold at all.The room never went lower than 25.3 C ( 77 degrees) even though the thermostat was set to 16 C. The hotel charges for everything, if you want to use a towel on their beach or a chair they will nickel and dime you. However the village it is in a great and as I mentioned before the locals are super nice and great food.

Noisy and not cleaned well

The hotel lobby is nice but the rooms and bathrooms were not cleaned thoroughly. The floor in our room hasn't been mopped once in 10 days and the toilet bowl was only cleaned once. The pool was too small for the size of the hotel and the number if guests. Breakfast and dinner were nice but overcrowded and the service was lacking. Playroom for kids is aimed at smaller kids but still fine. Hotel lost electricity 7 times during out stay and water once, But not for very long. The elevators are way too small and got broken daily. Hotel is very noisy and full of kids so if you don't have kids find something else. If you are like us forced to cater to a child then it's fine. But overpriced for the quality and service.

Fun with relaxed vibe

We stayed at Hotel Pinija for a week break as a family, 2 adults and a toddler. The hotel location provided good facilities being on the beach and some on-site facilities (kayaks, mini golf, bikes) in addition to the indoor and outdoor pool and spa. It also provided a good base for exploring the region. Breakfast and dinner were wholesome, self service style. The events team entertained children with arts and crafts, swimming lessons and evening night time mini discos and movie nights. The hotel is value for money. The only negative that we have is the condition and size of the room. It was portrayed as a 'Premium room' capable for 2+1. Being a regular traveller in my opinion there was nothing about the room (size and quality) that could be described as premium, I felt compelled to return to reception for an explanation. The fridge did not function, little things like the radiator was wonky and the shower leaked during our stay. Air con was also turned off by the hotel. We were requested by reception staff to return each morning to see if we could pay for an upgrade but were told they were fully booked. We tolerated the room for getting ready and sleeping only, we had anticipated using it more but chose to have our daughter's naps on the go. If you are content living out of a suitcase, happy with a bed in a room then its fine, if you expect just a little more space and comfort (what you'd expect with premium) than a typical economy room elsewhere then note this at booking.
