Denis Bencic - Aminess Maravea Camping Resort
The campsite is nice. It's pretty big and a bit crowded. You have everything located on the campsite. Also a really nice supermarket with high prices, but that's normal on a camping. The other comments actually already say everything that needs to be said. The overall experience is really nice, if you like large and busy campings. Every night there is live music. Once or twice a week would also be fine for us. We had a comfort pitch which should be 90m2. It's really not. I measured some of the pitches and they're around 60-70m2. Some of them have trees on them as well. And some pitches are extremely uneven. We have a tent but the front of the tent was touching the roadside. This meant that if a car or caravan comes by you need to pull in your chairs or table for them to pass by. You also have to sit on the road if you don't want to sit in your tent. There is also close to no room to park your car as the entrance roads are also extremely small. We also looked at the bigger pitches, but they all seem to be a lot smaller than advertised. The newer pitches seemed bigger, but have gravel ground, which is not suitable for tents. It just feels extremely compact. A bit too compact. There also was no small grass field nearby to do a simple game or temporary park the car. Every inch is filled. I understand this from an economical point of view, but I rather pay a bit more and have some more space. As frequently mentioned, the showers are cold all the time. For the men there seems to be enough space, but at the woman's showers there were always queues. If you don't shower at rush hour it's fine though. Everything feels really expensive. It was our first time in Croatia and coming from The Netherlands we thought that we were already used to high prices. But it's quite annoying that everything is really expensive and for most things you need to pay extra. Sport facilities, trampoline, floating things in the water and even the sun beds at the pool! If you want an affordable and really good dinner, just go out the gates for 30 meter and have dinner at the restaurants there. For 50-60 euros we had a dinner with drinks for four people. And the quality was great!
It's a great place, a bit crowded, but an excellent place for a vacation with children. Positives: - Mobile home: Clean, well equipped, air conditioning, TV - Common rooms: quite new, clean, cleaned regularly. - Services: there is almost everything you need, bakery, supermarket, restaurants, ice cream, water sports, sports facilities, rental facilities - Animators entertain a lot of programs, with a great atmosphere. Teen disco every night - There is a concert/live music every evening on the beach, very atmospheric! - Film screening on Sunday evenings on the beach. - There are several pools in the park. The kids loved it. - Breakfast: buffet breakfast is plentiful, very tasty - The waiters in the restaurants are polite and speak English. Negatives: - The prices of the supermarket, restaurants and services in the campsite are very high, everything costs 25-30% more than in Novigrad. It is worth doing your big shopping in an outdoor Lidl, Konzum or Spar supermarket. - Smoking. Unfortunately, about every second person smokes. If you don't smoke and tobacco smoke bothers you, you have to choose where you sit very carefully in restaurants, as there is no "non smoking zone". The wind usually blows from the sea. They will easily light a cigarette next to you at the table, if you are standing in line at the ice cream stand, or on the sightseeing train sitting in front of you.
Forget about this place if you want warm water in the shower. We stayed there for 3 nights and didn't manage to get warm water in the shower at any time even after 22:00. Reported that but employees just can't do anything with it. Very low price to service quality ratio.
Best holidays ever! We are here for the second year in row and it is amazing. Especially with kids it is perfect. Thank you Aminess and Croatia for this wonderful time! We'll see you next year! ❤️😊
We’ve been to so many places all over the world, but this one is our favorite since we have a kid. This year we went to Maravea for the third time. The location and the eployees are nice, but the best thing about everything is the animation. Our daughter was excited every year, and now she is counting days to go back again next year. The activity team is just excellent, they give so much love to the kids. If you want to see your kid endlessly happy this is probably the best place for you.
