Aminess Vival Port9 Residence

Hotel Aminess Port 9 Vival in Korčula is an excellent choice for a relaxing holiday. The rooms are clean and well maintained on a daily basis by the friendly housekeeping staff. The food is good – although last year the selection was richer, this year everything is made up for by the outstanding chef Mirsad, whose grill dishes taste absolutely heavenly. Special compliments go to him for his excellent culinary skills. The entire hotel staff – from reception to the restaurant and the pool – are very kind, helpful, and hospitable. An additional touch of luxury is the Rituals collection in the bathroom, which was a very pleasant surprise. I gladly recommend this hotel and rate it with 4 stars.

We stayed in a blue and white holiday home. The staff at check in were very friendly and we saw them constantly maintaining the grounds. The home was in a shaded area by the campground and it was essentially a mobile home. While it had two bathrooms, the bedrooms were too small to open up our suitcases so we had the slide them under the beds. We did have ants in the home as well which was not ideal with suitcases on the floor. We ended up waking the 2 kms into town quite often as we didn’t really enjoy the resort amenities. Pool chairs were impossible to find - in fact people lined up before the pool opening. We did not want to sit out all day so were unable to find a place to sit. Lounge chairs at the rock beach were 8 euros for the day and there were not many of them. We found that charge strange since pool loungers were free. Most of the restaurants were closed so we did not try food. There was a grocery store located across the road which was helpful. Accommodations were as expensive as full apartments in other parts of Croatia as well so we expected more than what it was. Overall it was not really our type of place to stay and we would not return but if you like basics and camping, it could be fine. We wanted to enjoy it but in the end we were happy to leave.

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.

Great location and amenities. Walkable from the car ferry, warer taxi available and walkable to old town, and surrounded by great beaches.

Great hotel. Stayed in a 1 bedroom unit. Ask for upper level for additional privacy. The infinity pool was clean and well maintained. 2 beaches...one pebble and sand. Beaches were clean and amazing for a swim. We did not do the all inclusive option. Had the buffet dinner. Was tasty with a nice selwxtion of hot and cold items. Had one dinner at the " fine dining option" on the beach. It was ok. Spent lots of ti.e at the beach bar/casual dining restaurant. Great relaxed atmosphere for a drink. The water taxi is availlable at dock for a quick teip into old town. 3euros. Would highly recommend this resort.
