Aminess Vival Port9 Residence

The location is absolutely beautiful, especially overlooking the sea with rocks to sit and swim off. The complex is an unusual mix of hotel, self catering and camping. The infinity pools is over crowded with very loud music and foot baths were empty on some days or looked fetid on others. Grounds were once beautiful I suspect but currently looking unkempt. Litter often was lying round. 2 salt water pools were nice bit were emptied twice and out of service making tger other pool busier. The self catering apartment we were in was at best a 2 star apartment. The living space was tiny and by the time the very rickety sofa bed was pulled out you cohkd nkt even walk round tge table, never-mind try to nake something in the kitchenette. The kitchenette was so tiny and cupboard units were so crooked, making the microwave on such a slant that it barely turned. This was not a fully equipped kitchen. The air-conditioning was only in the living area making the bedroom sweltering if anyone wanted any privacy and on arrival our apartment was dirty. We have been here a week ( we have 12 days here) and the sheets have still not been changed at all but they do empty the bin daily and change towels whemn you ask. Pleasant staff, just let down by poor apartment- we will ne gojmg home rested from the lovely location but covered in bruises from sticking out metal on the sofa bed and being so cramped in the apartment. The apartments are different to the hotel and they feel like lile an inferior second sadly. With a little work it coukd be a beautiful site but given the accommodation, this is more of a 2 star holiday.

The staff was very friendly and always ready to help. They resolved everything quickly. Everything was perfectly fine. The accommodation is good, but some things could use a bit of renovation. Korčula is definetely nice, wild and beautiful.

We stayed in the self catering 1 bedroom apartment with our 12yr old. The sofa was a sofa bed for her. The bedroom was very spacious but the living area was a little cramped with 3 of us. But for 3 nights it was fine. We cooked to save pennies for future treats and whilst that was do-able the kitchen was pretty basic, and seemed to be a magnet for ants. The general condition of our apartment was a little rough around the edges but represented good value for money. The infinity pool was lovely if a little small, the beach and sea swimming areas were lovely and the water taxi at 3 euros per person into Korcula town was great fun and very convenient though it did add up but was a saving on town hotel prices that came with the amenities that we had access to.

As soon as we arrived we were welcomed with a smile all the staff were so friendly, polite and helpful. The apartment was lovely and clean the beds were so comfy. The pool area was clean and tidy and we never struggled to get a sunbed. The pool bar staff were helpful and quick. We had booked self catering but changed it last minute to half board and so pleased we did. The food was amazing breakfast was full of choice and there was a section for vegan and vegetarian options too. In the evening it was the same. All the waiting staff were brilliant so nice and friendly and could not do enough for you. The hotel was about a 15 min walk from the town and just a ten minutes walk to the beech. Such a great and friendly place we had a wonderful time and will definitely return again
