I had an amazing time in Umag, Croatia 1 week ago. Sol Garden Istra was very isolated, and although i had read reviews before I went, I didnt really realise the extent of isolation. It took around 45 - 60 minutes walking time to Umag, yet the walk was very pleasant and enjoyable. Most nights however, we took the train... more

I have just returned from a week’s holiday at the Sol Garden Istra in Umag. The hotel was a bit isolated with not a great deal to do within walking distance, although this is not a problem if you have a hire car. If you do have transport then there are lots of beautiful and interesting places to visit within... more

Sol Istra is the best hotel complex where we have ever been. We are a family with a daughter, 6 years. The pool area is great with a small slide for kids. There was always room for us even though we did not reserve beds before breakfast. It is not our style. We had hb and there was always "too... more

Sol Garden is ranked as a 4* hotel...I would give it 3*+ in terms of international standards, but it is decent. Rooms are spacious, reasonably tastefully decorated, bathroom a bit small. Anyway, it’s clean and rooms are efficiently serviced, which is a plus. The food is nothing to write home about, but good. Hotel has it’s own swimming pools, while... more

Although the hotel advertises... more

Stayed four nights in May. The hotel is quite large, and if full could be a bit crowded with so many people. The location is a bit isolated with a 3 Klm walk to town,most people use the small train service to Umag. The pools inside and outside looked very good. The rooms are spacious,very clean,with a nice bathroom again... more

The pool was great, loads of space and it was nice and clean. The buffet was HUGE, they had a wide selection of... more
