 B&B Apartments Buric Plitvice Lakes

B&B Apartments Buric Plitvice Lakes

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Apartment Buric was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Our host Zivan was super friendly, really attentive to our requirements and very customer focused. We couldn’t have asked for a better welcome upon our arrival and how we were looked after during our stay. There was ample parking at the residence and the apartment itself was extremely clean, stylish , spacious and well appointed. We had a fantastic view out over the nearby mountains of Plitvice with a full outdoor seating area including a divid double swing chair. The dinner menu plus the breakfast choices on offer were excellent and very reasonable. Breakfast was included with our rate and there was a great selection available. We enjoyed it so much and the hospitality there we did actually enquire if there was any availability for a further nights stay there after we visited Plitvice lakes for the following day but unfortunately they were fully booked but not surprisingly really considering how good the accommodation and food are set up. We would highly recommend Apartment Buric to who was considering a stay in the local area. They were an ideal location to explore the local area and visit the national park of Plitvice lakes with key areas within close reach."

16 Lakes Hotel

16 Lakes Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Modern, but tastefully designed for hotel. Convenient location (10 minutes from main entrance to Plitvice National Park). Quiet location. Our family of four was on the top floor. Hotel room was very spacious with separate bedroom for parents and twin beds for our teenage children. Nice balcony. Perfect for our needs. Hotel swimming pool area is also modern and nicely designed. We found the pool opening hours restrictive (i.e. cannot be used after 7PM - presumably because it would interfere with with the restaurant dining experience). We would liked to have been able to swimming in the evening. There were signs stating that you could not bring your own food and drinks to the pool area (however we had water bottles with us and no one stopped us). There was bar service so you can enjoy alcoholic and soft drinks by the pool). Hotel has a tastefully designed restaurant. We did not eat there so cannot comment on the food. Staff were very helpful. They have a large map of Plitvice NP on the wall and showed us the alternative trails so that we felt well prepared for our visit. Overall a positive experience and we recommend this hotel."
