Hotel Donat - All Inclusive

Our stay at this hotel was truly enjoyable from start to finish. Everything was great — the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The location couldn’t be better: just a short stroll to the beach and within easy 15 min drive distance of the charming old town. The food served at the hotel was delicious, with a variety of fresh and well-prepared dishes. For a 3-star hotel in Europe, it’s a fantastic find — offering excellent value for money with a perfect balance between comfort, quality, and affordability. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located and welcoming place by the sea.

The staff were phenomenal, so helpful and friendly. Everywhere was super clean. Great options for drinks at the bar. Variety of food for each meal, lots of fresh fruit (though it may not be to everyone's taste, basic but satisfactory). Lovely pool area Beach and views are beautiful. Great value.

Before going I saw reviews moaning about the food. I am Gluten Intolerant and always found something to eat. The Pork belly was the best I have tasted. The salads were fresh and very good. The breakfast was good with everything being topped up constantly. Soft drinks and wine are on tap, just go and help yourself. Yes there are set times for each meal but its not hard to wait for an hour or 2. The staff were friendly and efficient. When paying for your room at book in they add a service charge for the staff. I didn't mind this as people forget to tip and it is also shared equally with the staff behind the scenes. It is a bit out of the way of Zadar Old Town but you can walk (it was a bit far for me ) or there are 3 bus stops not far from the Hotel which take you down to the Post Office where the bridge over to Old Town is. The hotel is a bit dated but you have to remember what you have paid to stop there all inclusive and I personally like a hotel with character.

As the some of the reviewers mentioned the hotel looks old and needs TCL. But the hotel is in quiet place surrounded by trees. The beach is on front of the hotel. The beach is quiet and the water is fantastic. Also we have got all inclusive and the good is ok. You will find something you like to eat. All over I like the hotel and will go there again.

Set in a resort complex. It’s old but we’ll maintained and clean with some touches to try and update it. All inclusive food and drink were great. It’s right on the beach lots of sun beds, and has a nice pool. Staff warm friendly and helpful.
