Grand Hotel Portoroz 4* superior – Terme & Wellness LifeClass

The breakfast and dinner buffet were great - lots of choice, always lots and lots of fresh fruit. Dinner changed every evening, but there was 2 soups, a salad buffet, cheese & cured meats and ice cream which were always to be had. There were changing meat (chicken, pork/beef) and fish choices, always a veggie pasta dish and a special dish finished in front of you by the chef. The cake selection also changed every day: from profiteroles to pistacchio cake, from something like Linzertorte to Tiramisu. We liked our room, even though there was no balcony (family rooms do not have balconies). It had a big walk-in wardrobe, which was great to store all luggage and clothes out of sight. We still saw some of the water/marina out of our window, which was nice. We appreciated the bathrobes for walking to the saltwater spa pools in the hotel, and were able to use the hotel next door (same group) as well. There is a hotel beach where guests get a discount on a sunlounger and umbrella (€20 for 2 chairs and an umbrella with the discount), but all beaches are public by law in Slovenia. The water is so clear there - in the morning you see all the way to the bottom. It's not a sandy beach though, and it's not a classic 'walk into the water' beach either- it's more like a pier with steps every so often to get into the water. The room was cleaned every day if you wanted it, and the cleaning staff were so quick, it was always done while we were at breakfast - just brilliant. Great aircondition too - it was extremely hot outside, so that was essential for us. All staff were extremely friendly, spoke perfect English and always tried to help.
