Maistra Select All Suite Island Hotel Istra

The All Suite Hotel shares facilities with the Hotel Istra. A lot depends on what you are expecting. The island does get local people use the 'beach area' but we enjoyed the quieter 'Red island' which is a short walk over the causeway. Some sunbeds are available on the flat areas of rocks although access to the sea is limited/with caution. Breakfast in the Historical Castle was a delight and evening meals could also be had there. We preferred eating in the intimate 'a la carte' rather than the 'buffet style' restaurant. Unfortunately, the grille on Red Island was closed - not sure if it scheduled to be reopened. The rooms are generous in size with simple decor and plenty of furniture/wardrobe space. They were clean and serviced daily. There is a free ferry every hour to the town of Rovinj - which is a lovely place to visit. The locals take pride in their surroundings - streets exceedingly clean - with lots of interesting alleyways and shops and the walk up to the church gives great views. The hotel could be a great place to take children as there appears to be plenty to offer them but for couples who want a quieter time then you need to go over to 'Red Island' and find a spot on the rocks.
