Zaton Holiday Resort Apartments

Great place for families with kids. Almost everything close to our place- pools, beach, playgrounds, stare. We appreciate the small traing going through the camp. Great sand beach for kids, not deep. The appartment was simple but clean and we had everything we needed.

The approach of stuff was very strict, not friendly. I miss the "welcome", smile and wiliness of receptionists. We got annoyed face after arrival when we wanted informations (we came early, we knew we have to wait for checkup. Just needed informations about parking and place we can stay). Also when we asked for help with lagguages the stuff who drives golfcar told us- "its.not necessary, its close". We had bags,stroller, crib,food,...

The complex is excellent for families, less so for older couples. The bed was wonderfully comfy, though the pillow was lumpy. The pools were fabulous and the staff superb.

Our “unit” was very tired. The warning to turn the gas off at the tap was disconcerting. Surely there should be sufficient confidence in the fitted gas hob for this not to be necessary? But as the ignition didn’t work on the hob, perhaps that’s why the warning is necessary. The door shutters needed a lick of paint and everything had a tired feel to it sadly. It certainly did not measure up to the image shown on Booking.com which suggested a modern 5 star style room. All that said, we had a comfortable night’s stay and would have been very impressed had we had the grandchildren with us.

Very modern and clean with loads of on site activities and facilities

Grocery shop needs serious overhaul. Little further from zadar than expected

Our family spent a 13-day stay here at the very beginning of October 2025. It is a large, very nicely kept resort with camping, mobile homes and villas of various sizes available. The grounds are well maintained and some of the buildings quite stylish. Our 3-star two-bedroom, ground floor villa was clean and pleasant, with most things working properly, though one of the bedrooms had no storage or electric sockets. There was a large storge cupboard outside in the hallway, however. After reporting that the television did not work it was replaced promptly but repairing the faulty safe deposit box was apparently beyond the capabilities of the staff. There are quite a large number of restaurants, shops, fast-food outlets, cafes and bars on the extensive site, but the issue we faced was that many of them were already closed pending the end of the holiday season, despite the bright sunny weather and good temperatures. The Resort has two large outdoor pool complexes, with children’s pools and slides etc, one near the beach, and one nearer to the camping area. However the one near the beach, and near most of the villas, closed down on the day we arrived. Admittedly the Resort website gave notice of this, but it was still disappointing. The other pool complex is of a very high standard with pristine clear water and very good surroundings, chairs and umbrellas. Some basic changing facilities. Also a café and separate drinks bar, but these closed by the end of our stay and the staff were packing away chairs and umbrellas despite numerous families still trying to enjoy the warm weather there.

The advertised road train to Nin did not operate at all whilst we were there, despite Reception claiming it would run every day. The onsite supermarket had a third of its shelves empty, presumably again in anticipation of closing. The Resort advertises that it closes for the end of summer on 18 October, but it needs to decide whether it really wants to open to paying customers at all during the first part of October. If so, it should maintain the opening of a much larger proportion of its facilities right up until its advertised closure date. As it stands, I would be very reluctant to book here late in the season again. If the resort chooses to take bookings in the first half of October, it should be prepared to keep facilities open for guests who have paid to enjoy them. It is not a particularly relaxing experience to have the staff closing the site down around you.
