Centinera Resort

3/5

To be honest, I expected more. Mobile homes are very expensive. I expected to have seaview, and ended up in the middle of the camp, near the sanitary amenities. No seaview. There were some Dutch (from license plates on their campers) tourists around with very badly trained dogs that barked very loudly whenever another dog walked by. Also made me nervous that the dogs might attack my kids. Neighbors also kept to themselves and didn't even want to say Hi. That's OK, not everyone is friendly in this world. Their dogs were loud enough. The beach is nice but rather small and therefore crowded. People also come to this beach from a nearby hotel, even though it's supposed to be only for Centinera customers. The sea is very clean and clear, and the color is like nothing else, really beautiful. We really enjoyed swimming and had a lot of fun in the water. There's some natural shade before noon, later in the day you have to pay for a parasol, if there are any left. Or burn. There are also plastic deck chairs you can rent for 6e/day. 2 chairs and a parasol cost 20e/day. Inflatable water park is available to have fun, if that's what you enjoy doing. Pedalboats are popular and not that expensive. There are no playgrounds for kids in the camp. There are just two old wooden swings nearby (outside camp grounds), and almost always occupied (naturally). There's a pancake stand with inflated prices near those swings, if you are a sugar addict, it's convenient. In the google photo reviews you can see that prices have more than doubled in the last 3 years. Towels get changed only after 3 days. We stayed for 8 nights and they only changed towels once. I guess you have to go and ask for it. For this price I expect fresh towels at least every other day. There's a washing machine available, it costs 5e for one wash. Also, it didn't really wash well. It's not Centinera fault, but I also got charged for 2kg of fruit that I didn't buy, in Lidl. Just adding to the overall feeling of being ripped off. We are leaving with mixed feelings. Adriatic sea is beautiful, but prices have gone through the roof in last couple of years with no change in the quality of accomodations or service. Also, people here need to understand that everyone is a cog in the hospitality machine, as the region depends heavily on tourism.
