BO Hotel Palazzo (Porec, Croatia)

Perhaps the most vivid memory taken away by guests of this hotel are the world-class views. Reviewers highly recommend asking for an ocean view room when booking. These include spacious balconies with sun loungers, from which, watching the sun rise and fall has proven a favourite memory of many a guest.

Reviewers rave about this hotel's amazing location. Situated on the tip of the cape, the surrounding promenade is majestic and affords magical ocean views. From here, the city is easily accessible on foot, along a pedestrianised harbour front that boasts a wealth of stunning seafood restaurants to tempt you in along the way.

Although small, the hotel's spa and wellness area is a resounding hit with guests. The area includes a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a relaxation area, with loungers and soft music. For a very reasonable price, guests recommend asking for a traditional massage.

Negative reviews for this establishment are rare and unrelated. Occasionally, a guest gripes about the daily parking charge, the too-soft pillows or the small shower cubicles that leak water onto the bathroom floor. These are, however, isolated incidents, and not indicative of the overwhelmingly positive experience of most.
