Nauthotel Resort

To be avoided if only for the rudeness of the reception staff!!!

We stayed there with your 2y old daughter for a couple of days and we liked the swimming pool area (three pools) with a great view to the see and shade places under the trees. We stayed in the main building and had a clean and modern room with kitchen and a huge balcony. What we have seen, probably not all of the resort's room are at this standard. Furthermore they have direct access to the beach (through a private door), where you can take umbrellas and a sunbed from the hotel for free with you. The old-town of grado is an easy 10 min walk. The in-house Restaurant is a little bit pricy but very good. Some guests may will miss the WiFi inside of the room, but we didn't bother. Next to the hotel there is a little private port, where you can rent a motorboat for 70EUR/half day to explore the laguna and shoreline. Even though the resort is more expensive than others in this areas, we would definitely go there as family again, because the beach and the old-town are around the corner.

I rented 2 studio apartments in the beginning of June. Going on holiday our goal was to relax by the pool, whilst being near the ocean, in a quiet, hot, friendly, yet affordable location. And Porto San Vito, was all that and more. I have read some pretty negative reviews, and I have to say in my view they are too harsh. The studio apartment which is quite large has a lounge/kitchen and a bedroom with a good sized(albeit quite rundown) en suite bathroom. From our bedroom we had a beautiful view of the ocean and the same from out sitting room/ kitchen. The resort was very quiet which I think was due to how early in the season we arrived. But this suited us and we were surprised to see we we're essentially staying on the grounds of a yacht club so we could see beautiful boats daily. The reception were extremely helpful when we were trying to plan our trip to Lake Bled in Slovenia. With the language barrier making it difficult they pulled through and managed to make a travel itinerary for us, which was very much appreciated. Many people in Grado have very little english but they really make an effort to communicate. All in all the only negative was the worn down bathroom and also the flurry of ants that would spontaneously appear in our kitchen (we rarely ate in the apartment so this was not too bad for us, however for a family looking to cook, it could be a major turn off). But for 76 euro a night per studio (this is the equivalent price to a dodgy european hostal dorm bed!), three swimming pools and the ocean just meters away, its hard to complain!
