Eden Hotel By Maistra Collection

“Excellent - we'll be back”

We went as a couple early June 2026 for 10 nights with TUI. This hotel is set back a bit on the peninsula and is one of 4 hotels owned by Maistra.

We went as a couple early June 2026 for 10 nights with TUI. This hotel is set back a bit on the peninsula and is one of 4 hotels owned by Maistra. Eden was probably the first one with the others going up in price as the views get better. They own lots of others - indeed they seem to own the area. There are no sea views - just the trees - but it's a short walk to the beach. Rooms good and clean despite it being the older of the hotels. I suspect it was refurbished fairly recently. Compared to a previous trip further South in Croatia the staff here are very friendly but be prepared to be addressed in German first before they work out that you're not. (There are plenty of Germans - it's not that long a car trip for them. We had a good laugh with some of them). Breakfast and dinner are buffet style as befits the price point. All good with lots of choice and chance to increase your weight. Some reviews mention queues. OK - there is some queueing at the peak time but not long. After the 6:30 rush not a problem. No queue at the pizza pasta section. No such problems at breakfast although the hot food wasn't that hot. My only criticism is their price point for wine in the restaurant. Average price start point is Euro 40 which is way above the level that it should be. Very few people drank it. We just bought water (Euro 4.90). Wine from the supermarket is cheap and good instead (we were buying French red for Euro 6 per litre). Maistra are missing out on selling better value local wine by the carafe. Small pool bar - good for ice cream and drinks. Lower down is a restaurant for lunch but no snacks. Snacks as such from the beach bar. The "Wellness" suite is excellent and hardly used. Indeed the best fitness and internal pool suite we've used. And there's nobody else in it. Well equipped gym. Extensive "Thermal Zone" - being a big sauna complex (empty of people). The internal pool brilliant. Outside pool area shared with Hotel Lone next door. It got busier once the local schools had broken up and Croatians came for their summer holidays but it was never too busy. Always plenty of sunbeds available even in prime locations. The 2 overlapping pools are excellent and never crowded. You can have as many free towels as you want. A short walk down to the sea reveal more sun loungers. The entire sea front is managed by Maistra and whilst it's open to the public is virtually entirely used by the hotels. Eden guests can use the loungers for free and the sea is good for swimming and safe. With Maistra hotels and restaurants everywhere their free wifi seems to be permanently available - and it works fine even in the town. Nature park left from the beach is a fine walk with further bathing facilities although general public can use it. Walk to the right from the beach goes along the Marina (big private yachts) and subsequently into town. It's quite a walk if you just want a cheap lunch. The town is excellent and vibrant. We hit it when they were having a Salsa festival and there were impromptu dancers on the sea front every night. My wife would only leave if I promised we could come back.

“Amazing Hotel and Fab Location”

Our last night in this amazing hotel and fabulous Rovinj. The location is first class. We normally like to eat out but opted for half board and not disappointed with the food.

Our last night in this amazing hotel and fabulous Rovinj. The location is first class. We normally like to eat out but opted for half board and not disappointed with the food. Lots of choice and healthy options, fresh salads, fish, meats and pasta and not the same food each night. The old town is magical and a 25 minute walk in. We hired bikes from the hotel which we would definitely recommend and cycled into the National Park next door to the hotel. The staff are all lovely and welcoming and the hotel is exceptionally clean. If you are thinking about booking this hotel you will not be disappointed. We are definitely returning to this hotel and it is rare we say this about hotels we have been to before. Thank you to all the team at the hotel Eden and we will be back!

Staff are very friendly cheerful, and all working extremely hard TUI rep was excellent even though we had booked through easy jet that is another story_ thankyou for all your help The swimming pool is in need of a thorough clean sides had green algae on them and spoilt by local children shooting water pistols at guests, how the staff member stayed so calm with them I. do not know No evening entertainment as advertised (one of the main reasons we chose this hotel) Plenty of sunbeds available, grounds immaculate Cooked breakfast was cold though I only had it once couldn't face it again, and as a previous review said we went to dinner at 7.30 only to find a lot of food was all gone,I know it is very difficult to guage but just bringing out fries isn't ideal. Also my husband has a quite severe nut allergy please could this be shown more clearly as the food labels are not very clear this is potentially lethal, most of the deserts had crushed nuts on them or in them Would we come back here, no Rovijn is absolutely beautiful but this hotel needs a bit of a shake up and a bit of tlc

“Nice hotel with poor food and service”

While the hotel was lovely and in a great location the food was terrible . Whilst there seemed to be a good selection, all of the cooked food was stone cold.

While the hotel was lovely and in a great location the food was terrible . Whilst there seemed to be a good selection, all of the cooked food was stone cold. You could actually put your hand on the hot plate and feel nothing. We raised it with a member of staff who said it's always like this so although we had booked half board we gave up after two days and chose to eat out. Apart from not being nice to eat I'm sure you are all aware of the risk of buffet food not being served at the correct temperature. Whilst in rovinj we spoke to other people staying at the other maistra hotels and they said their hotels were the same. On arrival we asked at reception about booking trips and they said we could not book trips through them so we had to book these ourselves on the web . For two days the tea and coffee were not replenished in our room we asked at reception , we were given a couple of tea bags but was told they had no coffee but if we asked at the bar they would make us a coffee , we did then go to ask at the bar where there was a small queue , the man behind the bar just stood on his phone while the girl was serving. When we got served we told her about the coffee like the reception told us to and she said it was nothing to do with her and that she couldn't serve us a coffee only alcohol even though she was stood right to a massive coffee machine. Overall I felt the staff at the hotel were very poor and unhelpful , and the food awful. I wouldn't stay at a maistra hotel again tbh. Saying all that we did have a good holiday , the area is beautiful with loads of places to eat and drink , the pool and beach at the hotel are lovely. Just a shame it's let down by the basics
