Accommodation

Primorka depandance **​

This complex is located on the northwest coast of the island of Krk, directly by the sea, about 500 m from the center of Omišalj. It consists of a main building – Hotel Adriatic and two annexes – Primorka and Marina. Newly available for summer 2024 is the Primorka annex. The hotel does not distinguish between rooms with or without balconies, nor between sea view or park view, both in the main building and in the annexes.
Rooms in the annex are double rooms with the possibility of an extra bed, simply furnished (they do not have SAT/TV or telephone). The Primorka annex has an elevator, Hotel Adriatic does not.
The beaches are pebbly and rocky with landscaped sunbathing areas, located approximately 100-200 m away. Below the children's playground, the water entrances and beach are adapted for children and non-swimmers, with a sandy bottom. On the main beach there are 4 restaurants, a cafe bar, a souvenir shop, and on the beach further from the hotel there is a Puppy snack with fast food. On the other side of the bay where the hotels are located, there are pumping tanks, but these do not affect the cleanliness of the sea (monitored by UNESCO), nor the tranquility of this tourist resort.
Guests have access to a reception, hotel restaurant, à la carte restaurant, terrace, aperitif bar, cafe, disco bar, hairdressing salon, massage salon, souvenir and postcard shop, currency exchange, and free WI-FI internet in the lobby bar. The restaurant and common areas are air-conditioned. The hotel also offers boat trips, rental of bicycles, scooters, cars, boats, diving, water sports and more. There are tennis courts, mini golf, courts for ball games (basketball, volleyball), table tennis and a children's playground on the beach (100 m from the hotel). The hotel complex has a very friendly atmosphere.
