Rubin Hotel

TUI holiday very disappointing. View from room is a large tree making room very depressing. Requested a high floor pool, view room in March. TUI not communicated with hotel. A view of a tree for 7 days in a dark room. Will never book with TUI again. Have complained to Tui but hotel is full so unable to change rooms. Although booked this in March and paid a premium as its bank holiday week. Very dissatisfied. We like to sit on our balcony of an evening and enjoy the sun but there isn’t any due to the large tree directly in front of the balcony.

Very clean hotel, polite staff and good food for breakfast and lunch. This was my second year here, warmly recommend . The beach is very close with clean water, there is also small electric train to Porec - 5 minutes of ride. Or nice walk od 20 minutes.

I stayed here with my 14 yr old daughter for 11 nights in the school holidays. We booked through TUI and the half board breakfast no lunch was appealing. The checkin in procedure was good and our room on the 4th floor was ready. There was a safe in the wardrobe and a fridge in the room. We always take a multi plug adaptor lead so had no problems with the amount of plugs in the room. Hairdryer was the type on the wall in the Bathroom, not very powerful The decor is a little tired but it was kept clean by an efficient housekeeping service. Large balcony with drying rack There is a pool table, table tennis and football table in the bar area. All free to use. Food - breakfast, lots of selection, but only 2 coffee machines for whole restaurant so there was always a queue so I resorted to the urn of prepared coffee Lunch - open until 2pm and lots of hot options, did find lots of the hot food was too salty but this may just be my taste Pool - great for families, but too shallow for my serious swimming Very comfortable sun beds and lots of parasols and shade Bar service from 1200hrs, staff are very polite and efficient Beach - down some steps and it is a rocky coastline, beautiful and clear with lots of places to sunbathe and swim. You do have to pay for all the beach/ grass sun beds / parasols €6 each item - at the bottom of the stairs in the hotel all the guests who have going home leave their lilos and other beach items which are there to be enjoyed by the other guests and was very handy when laying by the sea. Porec - took 15 minute to walk slowly long the coast path to the town, there are bike taxis and the tourist train if you don’t want to walk A lovely town with loads of eating,drinking and shopping options. The selection of ice creams is amazing and only €2 for a large scoop We ate out every night and all the meals were good. There are very few people from the UK in the hotel and the resort, but everyone spoke adequate English to be understood The water park is worth a day out, but book tickets online as it saves some time when you arrive. Was still a 30 minute wait to get in though. It says that you can’t take your own food, but families were taking cool boxes in without a problem so I would recommend asking the hotel for a pack up to take with you. We also caught the bus from Porec to Rovinj for the day, total was about €28 and we really enjoyed our time there Thank you Rubin Sunny for the great holiday

Rich and varied buffet, courteous and competent staff, attention to the environment and general care of the internal and external spaces (pine forest, swimming pool, seaside, etc.) Definitely recommended stay for those who want a quiet holiday in a seaside location surrounded by pine trees and about ten minutes from the center

A nice budget 3* hotel on a great location in Porec. This summer, my wife, 2 kids and me went on a 7 days vacation in Porec. We chose this hotel, since we are staying in different Valamar hotels for the last 3 years. First room that we got was not good, but must say that the staff was very polite and helpfull so they changed it for a much better room. Rest of the stay was really good. We had breakfast and lunch included, food is tasty and there is many different meal options every day. There is a nice hotel bar, with pool table as well as the table tennis. Hotel is really close to the beach, and has nice outdoor pool. Porec city center is about 15-20 mins walk from the hotel. I would recommend this hotel for travellers that like decent acommondation at a fair price.

I loke to give an in depth review so be prepared, this may be a long one. As we arrived my family didn't think much of the curb appeal of this hotel but they had not done their research. You do not see the sea from the drive from the airport to the hotel, but the hotel is in a beautiful position right next to the sea. There is no beach to speak of anywhere nearby, other than a small man made one on the sea front. This did not bother us at all, the views were still stunning, there were lots of steps down to access the sea, and the walk from the hotel into Porec is a very pretty one. There is a land train (€2 each way), eco taxi (€4 each one way) and taxi boats (€5 each, minimum fare €25 one way but room on the boat for 10 or more people) that can take you to town and back if you don't fancy the walk (15 to 20 minutes). The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, spoke English well, and I could not fault them. Emilia and Ana were great to chat to when they were working behind the bar. Myself and my son found out a lot about how Croatia differs from England. We also saw them working within the restaurant, all of the staff were constantly working and worked long hours. Marco in the pool bar always served with a smile. The restaurant was clean, although at busy times it could be hard to find a table and often we had to sit at tables that hadn't been cleaned. The staff usually noticed and would clean the table as soon as they did. The breakfast was good, 8am until 11am. A good variety of food on offer, fried eggs made to order, cooked breakfast items, cereal, fruit and yoghurt, fried breakfast items, bread and pastries, cold meat and cheese. The drinks were different teas, coffee, including a machine for different types of coffee that I cannot comment on as I don't like coffee. There is a machine serving water and juice. The orange juice ran out a lot or was very weak. There was no cola, lemonade etc, only water and juice and hot drinks. Often breakfast would begin to be cleared away from 10am. Lunch was an added bonus as my booking had stated bed and breakfast. This was from 11am until 2pm. It got very busy from 1pm. Again good variety of food and deserts. Always pizza, pasta, salad, a meat dish, potatoes etc. Tea was taken away which was a shame. I didn't have a problem with the food. The room was great. I was expecting 1 room with a bed and pull out bed with not a lot of room. I actually got a separate bedroom which was great that my son got his own space in the living area with a pull out bed. Each room had its own little balcony. Yes it could benefit from being modernised but as a base it was more than fine. The bed was comfortable, the rooms clean. There are not many plug sockets and there is no kettle but I brought a travel kettle so not a problem. There was a fridge and the aircon was great! There is no safe in the room but there were safes in the locked room where you could leave your luggage if you had a late f
