The best hotel I’ve stayed in. The food is wonderful with absolutely everything you could want for breakfast and dinner. The pools are all heated. The reception staff are very kind and will do everything to help the only drawback is there’s no door on the bathroom although the shower and toilet each have their own door but when hubby got up during the night to use the bathroom he had to put the light on which shone and woke me up. Excellent hotel, will visit again.

Probably the best hotel I’ve ever been to! Definitely a 5 star hotel, the hotel is amazing, the rooms are spacious and perfect for families with the kids room separate. The food is absolutely amazing, such great variety and delicious, especially the pizza! The sweet room is such a great idea and has the wow factor. Falkyland is incredible, it’s so great for children under 10, the soft play and the day time kids club was perfect. The only downside was there’s no entertainment for adults in the evening, but I believe they just stopped doing it at the beginning of September. The games room with bowling was great, such a brilliant idea, although it only opens at 4pm. You can’t fault this hotel really, if you want great service and lovely facilities then this is the best place to go. Only problems we had were with the housekeeping, they kept taking our pool towed and bath towels and not replacing them and didn’t give us water each day, I had to go to reception 3 times because of this, but the way reception dealt with it was perfect. Special shout out to verona on reception who went above and beyond and really listened and helped. Will be coming back here for sure!

We are staying 9 nights at the hotel, and are on our 7th night. This has been hands down our best family vacation yet, and this is comparing to family resorts across the Caribbean, Maldives and Turkey. Falkensteiner Diadora stands out on several unique attributes which we didn’t get anywhere else. We are generally big fans of Falkensteiner family properties, having stayed numerous times at Falkensteiner Montafon and Lido. A huge thank you to Andrea at the kids club, whom we got to know at Montafon after our many stays there, and who convinced us to try Diadora. We would have never considered it otherwise as we had not thought about Croatia as a vacation destination. A few things that really differentiate Diadora: 1) Unparalleled program for children – We tried numerous family resorts and while we always used the “kids club” to some extent, we always felt these programs were run in a very unstructured way by generally indifferent staff, even at the highest end properties. At Diadora, the program is vast and full of included sport and STEM activities (swimming lessons, rock-climbing, science class, kayaking, cheerleading), where children are known by name and taken by the staff from one activity to another. The program is operated similar to a school club or a kindergarten, and the staff are extremely serious about the kids’ safety and whereabouts. I am so grateful to the team here for letting the parents truly relax and for all that our kids learned in this short stretch 2) Sustainability focus – 1st resort we have been to where bottles are glass and not plastic, and drink cups and straws and paper and not plastic. Aside from the obvious environmental benefits, we also appreciate the health benefits of not having to drink from plastic bottles that have been sitting in the heat. What a wonderful initiative 3) No smokers – Or at least we never smelled any. Don’t know if it’s the clientele or just good design and lots of ventilation, but this was the first vacation where we didn’t have to run from table to table to dodge clouds of smoke, and could really enjoy the outdoor seating and the beach. 4) Separate children’s room in all rooms – We loved the separate room for children with two very comfortable beds. We had this also at Lido and Montafon, and are so grateful for this thoughtful layout 5) Proper exercise classes for adults – Full hour yoga sessions, in addition to Pilates, HIIT and other great classes with proper instructors in a separate brand new facility. Mladen (yoga) and Alexa (HIIT) teach great sessions 6) Plentiful vegan options – A full broad range of vegan milk alternatives at breakfast, chia pudding with almond milk, perfect lattes with foamed oat, gluten free crepes and always at least several vegan dinner items Those are the topics that really differentiated Diadora for us, but also worth noting that we loved the modern design, the natural and clean beach, the delicious and varied food, and the very pleasant service. Special thank you to Katarina for her incredible and skilled approach to teaching swimming to young children, and to all the hard-working and professional staff at the kids club. We are already thinking when we will be back.

“Nice vacations despite the high number of guests in August”

We were there in August, the weather was very hot, and the hotel was completely full. Despite being completely full, everything worked fine, the hotel was very clean, rooms are nicely decorated (except for the annoying thing, that bathrooms do not have doors), air conditioning was perfect, and it was silent at night. Luckily for me there is the beach, because I could not have stood the full, loud, and hot swimming pool area. If you walk to the beach and go right, you have a long shady beach line with plenty of sun-loungers. I spent most of the day there. There are also restaurants on the beach line where you can eat and book directly to your room. The location is great, a short drive from Zadar and Nin. My son was in the football camp every morning, which he loved. One evening the hotel organized a market with local food and handcraft at the beach and a kind of circus presentation for the kids, it was very nice. All in all great vacations if it were not for the high number of guests.
