Hotel Gran Vista Plava Laguna
Simple beachfront stay with a seafront garden
About this hotel
A seafront garden fronts this three-star hotel, roughly eight minutes' walk from Porec Zelena Laguna and well within the resort belt's pine-shaded stretch of coast. The outdoor pool sits alongside genuine beach access, giving guests a choice between saltwater and chlorinated depending on the day, and the buffet restaurant keeps meals simple and efficient for families moving between the pool and the shore. Rooms lean informal rather than styled, in keeping with the three-star category, and golf access rounds out the amenities list for travellers wanting a change of pace from the beach. This is a straightforward, unfussy resort-belt stay rather than a polished spa property, built around the garden, the pool and the coastline itself.

Our take
Hotel Gran Vista Plava Laguna is a three-star beachfront hotel roughly eight minutes' walk from Zelena Laguna, with a seafront garden, an outdoor pool and a buffet restaurant. Free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are included, while parking is paid, and an 8.2 score from 1,088 reviews describes a solid, straightforward resort stay. I would choose it for a simple beach-and-pool week near Poreč. For the old town on foot, stay closer in.
- ✓Try the buffet restaurant for dinner at least once, it's the most efficient option for a family group here.
- ✓Walk the seafront garden path toward Porec Zelena Laguna for a change of scenery from the pool deck.
- ✓Book a golf slot ahead if interested, since the course access needs coordinating separately from the room itself.

Why guests love itThe seafront garden is what separates this from the resort belt's more built-up hotels, a genuinely green stretch between the rooms and the shoreline rather than a straight concrete run to the water. The pool and buffet restaurant keep a family day simple, no reservations needed and no elaborate planning. It runs at three stars rather than four, which shows in the room finishes, but the beach access and garden setting deliver real value for a straightforward, unpretentious resort-belt stay south of the old town.
