This place was amazing. We didnt know what we were getting into until we arrived. Large beach areas, activities, amazing volleyball and football courts. The food was the best I have had at an all inclusive (I am used to Carribean all-inclusives). Lots of fun to be had. Super kid friendly.

The huts are beautifully integrated in the landscape, all very close to the beach. The sport options are multiple, the aqua park is loads of fun. The staff is caring and nice. The huts are comfortable yet basic, the whole area is super clean and natural. The food options are ok and functional, the kids like it. I prefer to go for dinner to one of the beautiful villages nearby.

We like the atmosphere in the accommodation, the proximity of the clear sea, the tidiness of the camp, the friendliness of the staff. Each member of the family can find a suitable sports activity for themselves. We like Pine Beach Pakostane:).

Dear guest, Thank You very much for Your review, we appreciate it. Our bungalows are made of reed, simply constructed as informed on all of our channels, the construction of the bungalow same as material is part of our intention to have symbiosis with the nature. We are glad that You enjoyed other service included in all in light service: sport, food.. Despite the fact that You are not fan of our accommodation type, hope to have the opportunity to welcome You once again in Pine Beach Pakoštane.

Very nice stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beaches were lovely and the included water activities were much enjoyed! Somehow we didn’t realize that the huts did not have electricity, so I wish we had planned better for that, but the reception area had a charging station for phones that was very helpful. The food wasn’t gormet, but good and there was a reasonable selection. Cafeteria style. Bath houses all seemed to be different, but the one we used was very nice. Overall-Great price for all inclusive and a fun experience. I would go back.

Six night stay
​Friendly people, very easy-going and relaxed yet still polite. The area was beautiful. The sea is clean and the beaches are well-kept. The food was excellent, there was enough choice even for vegetarians. The camp site is tranquil and well maintained with excellent toilet/bathroom facilities. Even though it was full, you could still find a quiet spot. The accommodation is basic but you come here for a relaxing stay in the nature, not to watch TV or surf the internet. I would definitely recommend it.

All-inclusive LIGHT
All-inclusive means continous service of drinks in every hotel, except in Pakostane. Guests are informed at check-in that beer, wine and soft drinks are served only during the meals, at other times one can buy them at the bar. Otherwise great stay.

A pleasant sutprise
Very impressed with the whole resort. Interesting concept, nice food and beautiful surroundings. I would suggest people bring a torch as it very dark at night. Also if you go as a couple its better to go outside of the peak season to avoid so many children.

An excellent resort
The resort and facilities were exactly as described on the website and often exceeded expectations. The range and quality of the food at mealtimes was excellent and I cannot imagine anyone not being able to find something they liked. The staff were very helpful and friendly and very conversant in several languages. The range of available activities would keep most people occupied and the beach and water were pristine. I have no hesitation in recommending this resort.

Good price, room not very comfortable
The all-inclusive price is pretty good considering it covered 3 buffet meals per day for my wife and I, as well as free access to the hotel equipment (kayaks, windsurfing, tennis, etc.). The rooms are just straw huts with cheap spring mattresses, mine had a broken spring that would dig into my back at night. Overall it was a fun experience, but next time I think I'll pay a little more for more comfort features somewhere else.

Great activity holiday
Lovely setting- huts are very unique. Friendly staff who are happy to help and simple to book excursions. The only downfall was the 'all inclusive' as drinks were limited and could only be used at meal times. Any drinks, including water had to be purchased at beach bar out of meal times. Signs show you are not allowed to fill water bottles however many people did making the drinks area very busy with long waits to get drinks with dinner. Great variety of activities available, especially for children with entertainment every night. The only problem was that there are only 2 paddleboards but everything else was brilliant. We strongly recommend the horse riding in biograd. Although this is advertised on Pine Beach website the hotel don't arrange excursion here so it needs to be planned yourself. Myself and my partner rang 'Konjicki Klub Vencel' to book a 4 hour horse ride to the lake to swim with the horses and the owners offered to collect us from pine beach as taxis would not take us. The trip was amazing and as neither of us had ridden a horse before they were still more then happy for us to join, even children can ride and the groups are no bigger then 6 so that they can supervise those who are new to riding. All in all a brilliant holiday you will remember!

Never again!
Never again! The bungalows were pretty to look at, but when you have to sleep in about 35 degrees celsius, and mosquitos are nibbling away at you all night long, you can't speak of this being an enjoyable vaca. We were so uncomfortable at this hotel, that we departet 2 days early. The showers were newer, but nonetheless you have bugs, spiders and other insects creeping and crawling everywhere. The wasps during breakfast were really, really bad as well. If you don't mind sleeping hot and having bugs in the bed with you, go for it. It was a unique experience and I don't ever want to have to experience it again. The food at the hotel was average, not bad, but not the greatest. They serve a lot of carbs in form of pasta, fries, and potatoes. The salad bar is pretty good, and my main consumption of food consisted of veggies in form of salad. The man at the reception during check-out was very helpful and actually allowed me to refund the two days that we had paid for in advance, that we decided not to stay. He didn't question me, but instead offered help. I really appreciated it. After not being able to sleep for 2 days, my nerves lay blank, so any friendly face was much appreciated.

This place is great if you have children between 8 and 10 . It's safe , eating is trouble free and there is enough to keep the adults entertained for two days - BUT if you are not into up scale camping this is no fun .

An all inclusive with a twist!
This was my first all inclusive and to be truthful I expected bad things, especially with the shared bathroom facilities. But what a holiday it was. The food in the restaurant was special and beer and wine was great. We were there for 5 days and something different every day with lots of choice. Fish was there everyday cooked right there to eat in batches. The bathroom facilities were generally clean and well maintained. Just don't expect the marble bathrooms in hotels! The huts themselves were more than I imagined. We had one right by the rocky bit of the beach and loved the fact that the sea was 20 feet from our doorstep. There were lots of activities to keep us occupied, sailing, canoeing, rock climbing, tennis, etc. All in all a fantastic experience and looking forward to my next trip there hopefully next year!

Excellent former Club Med straw hut village.
I was very unhappy that the final bill was charged in Croatian Kunas. Both Expedia and the Pine Beach Resort imply that the final bill can be paid in euros; and quote prices in euros.

En anderledes oplevelse i stråhytten i pinjeskoven
Pine Beach er jo et ret specielt sted! Stråhytter i en (tør) pinjeskov med all inclusive. Der er noget charter møder campingplads møder simple living over det. Mange aktiviteter at lave. Sandstrand - som også er meget velbesøgt og ligesom mange andre steder skæmmet af, at folk "reserverer" solstole fra tidlig morgen - mange timer, før de skal bruge dem selv. Maden er mildest talt ikke noget særligt. Især er aftensmåltiderne (mellem kl. 19-21.15) ret kaotiske. Folk står i en lang kø til de varme retter som min. i de første 45 min. Nogle gange også ved 20.30-tiden! Softdrinksene (og øllene) er ret fortyndede eller har aldrig set skyggen af cola/brus, æblejuice mv. Forvent meget simple hytter. Og vi havde endda lys/el i vores. Underholdningen om aftenen var fin - især da der var danseshow. Udsigten til havet er flot på området. Det er gratis at prøve diverse ting, og vi fik prøvet bueskydning, tennis, bordtennis mv. Desværre ikke kajak pga. vores børns alder. Byen Pakostane kan man gå til - livlig ferieby med bystrand og restauranter, barer mv. Vi hyggede os på Pine Beach, men tag det ikke pga. maden (omend vi sparede penge de dage) eller hvis du er til comfort og luksus. Tag derhen for at prøve simple hytter og de mange aktiviteter med din familie. Kan nok ikke anbefales til familier med helt små børn. Og så vil jeg anbefale, at hele stedet gøres røgfrit. Især i tørkeperioder!

srovnání 2021 a 2022
V kempu jsme byli loni na začátku července a byli jsme nadšení. Letos jsme zvolili termín na konci srpna a čekalo nás zklamání. Končící sezóna byla patrná téměř všude - špinavá pláž, nedopalky cigaret všude v písku, rozbité sklo, odpadky, cca polovina plážových lehátek rozlámaná, na wc často chyběl toaletní papír, některá wc byla ucpaná a neodtékala, většina odtokových kanálů ve sprchách byla ucpaná, tvořily se velké kaluže s vodou po kotníky. V jídelně neprobíhalo pravidelné doplňování automatů na pití, některé nápoje zcela chyběly po celou dobu našeho pobytu. Kapacita jídelny je pro plně obsazený kemp nedostatečná. Fronty na jídlo delší než ve školní jídelně, na volný stůl jsme čekali téměř při každém jídle. V ceně ubytování je jídlo all inclusive light. V reálu to znamená, že ráno dostanete kávu, ale odpoledne si ji musíte koupit. Zmrzlinu dostanete jen večer a jen velmi nedobrou, vanilkovou, čokoládovou nebo jahodovou. Na pláži kdykoliv výběr z mnoha druhů, ale musíte zaplatit. Cokoliv dalšího v plážovém baru si také musíte koupit, ačkoliv máte all inclusiv. Na ceníku je sice půllitr piva za 22 kun, ale protože téměř nikdy nemají půllitrové sklo, musíte si kupovat třetinky za 18 kun, půllitr vás tak vyjde na 30 kun (105 Kč). Kapacita aktivit je při plně obsazeném kempu absolutně nedostatečná (kajaky, paddleboardy, aquapark, trampolíny, lezecké centrum,,,,). Klíče od bungalovu jsme dostali po 50 min. čekání, prý na úklid, ale úklid neproběhl žádný, viz foto při převzetí.

The Holidays in Pine Beach Pakostane were great. However, there should be cleaning at least once a week. Due to the dust and sand the beds are going to be full of it after some days. Food is good but some dishes were not tender ( like beef- was hard every time) all in all was a good holidays! Staff is super friendly and calm! Defiantly coming back for the 3rd time.
