Maistra Select Island Hotel Katarina

A special mention to Valentina at the beach bar who was very friendly and very efficient! The beach is also immaculate and well worth a visit. It wasn’t too busy and it was great to have the shade of the trees and the gardens to walk in. It was so peaceful here. It was a short boat trip over from Rovinj and well worth coming here for half a day to relax. The views are beautiful and the sea is clear.

First time in Croatia & hotel Katarina was a fabulous place to stay with easy access to mainland by ferry (free to guests) when we wanted to explore the beautiful Rovinj by day or night. Beach & other areas never felt crowded as there are so many places round the island to sunbathe & swim. Rrception staff always super helpful. We had half board & found a great variety of food in the restaurant. The only thing which could have improved was access to tea/coffee in the evenings. Only option was via the bar (which you pay for) & a couple of evenings we still couldn't get as machine out of order or being cleaned. But overall very happy with our choice of hotel & will definitely recommend. 🙂

This is my wife and I's last night at Hotel Katarina and I have to say I cannot wait to return again. The hotel staff have been fantastic and so helpful. Especially the reception staff and Sonja at the drinks bar. The hotel itself exudes a bygone charm and is peaceful and relaxing. Our room is absolutely fine. In fact the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my wife's mobility issues and allocate a suitable room, which has a stunning view of Rovinj old town. The breakfast is very good with lots of choices and generally it is the same for the evening buffet meals. As other reviews have mentioned, there are some areas that could do with a little investment, but this in no way distracts from a wonderful hotel and island facility. We will certainly return to the Hotel Katarina.

We both had a fantastic stay at Hotel Katerina, the rooms, dining and outside areas were exceptional clean, the food choices were varied and great quality and the beach areas were fantastic. A special mention to Angeliya who was very welcoming and taught me some basic Croatian every day :) The ferries across to the port and town were prompt and fun and the shuttle service to the car park was quick and efficient. The best thing was the view back to Rovinj though, walking around this peaceful island gave you amazing views of the old town and some lovely quiet spots to sit and relax, just beautiful. Definately recommended and we will be back for sure!

What a beautiful island! The hotel although not luxurious was clean, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the staff were quite frankly fantastic. We chose half board and were not disappointed, great choices at breakfast time, and a good choices for dinner. Add to that a fantastic salt water swimming pool, a beach (although not sandy) with plenty of sun loungers all over the island, plenty of choice of where to sunbathe. The boat between Rovynj and Katarina was regular, hourly and very good.||A great place to holiday !!!

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at this gorgeous location. Our first night was rather eventful as the island and harbour were battered by the worst storm in 50 years! The staff & management were diligent in their care , checking that guests & rooms were OK. It definitely feels a bit special to ride the water taxi to the island. Rooms are a bit basic but were very clean, we found the staff to be very friendly especially the 'marvelous Sonia!' The buffet style mealtimes did not disappoint, all tastes cared for. We will definitely be back.

Great place for us 3 couples. Or for families or anyone. Everyone was great and would come back. Great place to stay to visit Rovinj and that part of wonderful Croatia.

We had an amazing time here - great rooms (3* hotel is accurate) and lovely grounds. The pebble beach was brilliant with comfy sun loungers and parasols. Lots of more hidden rocky areas for swimming etc. Loads of little fish and jellies to dive for! Good breakfast buffet (delicious cakes and scrambles!), and a varied evening buffet too. Short ferry ride to the mainland is free for guests but it only runs once an hour.
