Not really a 5 star hotel but it was nice. The pool was lovely. Went half board but drinks in evening expensive which bumps up the cost. Rooms are not good for teenagers, beds not standard size. Asked reception for extra pillow 3 times but didn’t come, asked the maid instead who got one for us. Taxi to airport 60 euro, taxi to town 30 euro one way. Wouldn’t stay again but would recommend to anyone who has young children.

All in all this was very nice weekend stay in very good hotel. Pool area was big enough with plenty of deck chairs and the beach was very close. There was wide choice of freshly made food for dinner and breakfast. Only the drink servis at dinner was rather slow. Otherwise it was nice to get late check out (2 pm). At check out we were a bit surprised that hotel was not informed about our advanced payment to the Hotel.com but the situation was settled soon enough.

Amazing location for families. We had a 15 month old and a four year old and they had more fun than we did. The location is great and has everything you could ever want. Every staff member was extremely nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant is unbeatable considering it is a buffet style. Plenty of local, international, and basic dishes. The children's facilities are great and will ensure that they have a place to use their energy up after sitting in cars and airplanes for hours. We are definitely going to stay in another Falkensteiner hotel at some point.

Nice hotel near the beach, inside and outside pools, children play area inside and outside of the hotel including two children pools. Kindergarten is also in hotel. Should work on exterior closer to the beach as it is not up to par with the rest of the hotel. Had to pay extra for parking and that was negative for me. Pillows were lumpy and should be replaced and bed to soft for my taste.

Would definitely go again - great for families!!
We had a fantastic stay at the Falkensteiner Family Hotel Diadora. This was a trip FOR our kids (ages 4,4) in mind. Great all inclusive, the food/buffet style was good and had a great variety. The rooms were clean and spacious. The many pools and waterslide was a hit for the kids. The indoor playground and play areas were fun as well. Our only CON would be the beach that is right off the property is not a sandy one and was quite a disappointment for us simply because, we really wanted a nice beach. It was more "lake like". This CON was not enough to "ruin" our trip though. The kids were happy with the many hours in the beautiful pools and continue to ask to go back - so still a WIN. The only other trouble was booking transfer to/from the airport. The site did not "take" my dates and the response seemed like a brush off - no worries though, I was able to book thru suntransfers and it was cheaper; but I easily could have grab a taxi on site and I think the cost would have been even cheaper.

Lovely family hotel
Warm, friendly and fun. A lovely family hotel, where nothing is too much trouble and the staff are delightful. The grounds, swimming pools, beach and surrounding areas are beautifully maintained and we had a truly relaxing weeks holiday. The food is excellent, with a wide variety to suit all, including very picky children!

Great hotel with excellent facilities for children
Stayed for four nights with a 4month old and two year old. Facilities were amazing. The room was spacious and very clean. The hotel was very quiet. Food was good and we always found something to eat. The food got a little repetitive but we were only there for four nights so this did not affect us. There are lots of buggies to use and the baby corner was very useful. We did not use the kids club as the minimum age is 3 but we were able to take the kids into the areas and supervise our kids. The heated pools were great as it was a little chilly some mornings and afternoons. This was a quiet hotel with very little evening entertainment. No entertainment for adults but if you are looking for a relaxing hotel with great facilities for the children then this hotel will not dissapoint. Also although the hotel accepts euros, the main and sometimes only currency accepted in the local shop and town is the local currency which we did not know before we traveled.

Excellent food, wonderful rooms, great pools
We loved: the breezy decoration of the rooms, the views from the room, the water slide and all the pools, the freshness and variety of the food, the light wines available lunch and dinner with the meal, the massage for children with gift at the end (my 8-year old loved this), the live music at dinner, the friendly hotel staff, the walk along the coastline with the incredible view of the sea and distant mountains. We did not much like: that coffee was only available for free at breakfast (why cheap out on a cup of coffee at an upscale resort when every other hotel in Europe provides free coffee in the room???), that the bottom of the pools wasn't as clean as they should have been, that the beach area was so small and more rock than sand, that the dining room was so loud (yes, we were 800 people eating there, but there are ways to dampen sound in a cavernous room), that there were no seashells (somehow, we thought there would be, but that's not the hotel's fault), the children's entertainment (but then, adults always think children will enjoy high-pitched, super-excited and artificially funny characters - maybe some do, but mine doesn't care for it), and the absence of a shuttle service for a hotel so far from Zadar city center and the airport. In short, we had a great time there and we loved the food, the room, the staff, and the pools. Those things we didn't like were either easy fixes for the hotel or just the type of beach available in that area.
