Fortuna Island Hotel

We have been here each for the last 5 yrs and also got married here on Isabella island in July 2025. We find the island just stunning and we are welcomed back like family by the staff across the restaurant team like Mario in the Momenti restaurant. We find the kids club is second to none due to the fantastic team of girls that look after our 3 kids. They look after our young kids very well and keep them entertained so we can have a few hours off. Thank you for their kind care. We always go V level so have access to the quieter pool and private boat to and from the island at check in and check out. Great resort overall.

We were able to spend a beautiful vacation here. Relaxation as a couple was also not neglected, as our daughter wanted to go to the Maro Club every day because she enjoyed it so much there. The staff there do a fantastic job! The island is beautiful in terms of scenery, and the picturesque town of Poreč is only 5 minutes away by ferry. We will definitely come back!

Where to spend our 50th Wedding Anniversary in late May was a decision that we didn’t want to get wrong! Having enjoyed two fabulous late Summer holidays on Sveti Nikola in Porec this was an obvious contender but could it possibly live up to our previous experiences or would it be a case of 3rd time unlucky? We had slight concerns that with the opening of the new Valamar flagship resort ( Pical Hotel and Suites) just across the water and with a number of key senior staff being transferred to the new facility, that things would not be the same or as good as we had known. We needn’t have had a concern and once again Valamar staff coupled with a quite magical setting provided us with another memorable holiday . Even the weather worked well for us with pretty much unbroken sunshine and pleasantly warm and, at times, hot, conditions. There were enough familiar staff faces to ensure that standards were maintained and that incoming team members were mentored in the Isabella Island Resort way of offering Croatian warmth and hospitality with an excellent and varied culinary offering supported by high quality accommodation and a genuine staff -wide ethos that they want their visitors to enjoy their time on the island and yes, leave determined to return on future occasions. We stayed in the V Level Miramare accommodation which is perched on a rugged shoreline with unbroken views of the sea and offering some fabulous views of Porec sunsets! On this occasion the sea was benign, almost like a mill pond, but we have known it to be savage, spectacular and forceful; both moods are equally beautiful to witness. The V Level restaurant, the Momenti, offering breakfast and evening meals is one of the stand outs of this resort. The buffet style option has enough variety to satisfy every taste and appetite with attentive and cheery service provided by the hard working team working around a very well-appointed terrace on which to dine when the weather permits – and it did throughout – an added bonus. I have described the island in previous reviews as ‘our happy place’ – and this holiday reinforced that feeling. I can only thank the whole staff team for helping us start of Golden Wedding celebrations is such a great way ! Thank you . Having seen the new Valamar Collection Pical Hotel and Suites being constructed across the water in recent years it was our curiosity that got the better of us and we simply had to give it a try while we were in Porec. How would it compare to “our “ Isabella idyll ? You can get my take on it in a separate review.
