Aminess Vival Port9 Resort

Lovely stay at Port 9. We would have liked more lounge and bar areas for the evenings. We spent time in our room after dinner which was a shame. The setting was glorious and very pretty. It was very relaxing.we spent time at the beach rather than the pool because of the pool music. Great rooms and nice time.

Overall, very happy with our experience at Port 9. Rooms were clean, simply. Location is great. Staff was friendly. Water taxi or electric cart (for an extra cost) were convenient options to get to Old Town. Breakfast buffet was very good.

Lovely landscape, well taken care of.

At the time of booking we didn’t realize it was a buffet breakfast and dinner, which during a pandemic seems unsafe. The rooms are similar to the size of a standard cruise boat cabin. The bedroom floors are carpet. Our room had stains on carpet, and on all curtains with a cracked mirror.

Where to begin? We arrived in the very lovely town of Korcula via ferry we were disappointed that the hotel had little information on how to actually get there from the old town (taxi 60 kuna). Upon our arrival check in was smooth, our first room stank like an ashtray so we had to be moved. The building we were in - there are several - was like some weird UK uni halls mated with a roadside hotel. The carpets were dirty, the bed in the second room had suspicious brown spots (bed bugs?!) but we were assured that the Port 9 Hotel had "no bed bugs". We were sold this resort on the basis that it is couple friendly. Honestly, its not; unless listening to baby shark on repeat from a kids disco, whilst you have a romantic buffet pizza dinner, is your thing. The beaches are not beaches, the "sand beach" would give Manson the fear, it's really just a dock attached to the hotel. Let me be positive for a minute. Korcula is a very very beautiful town and the people are great; I would recommend as a day trip from Hvar or Dubrovnik. The redeeming quality of the hotel was the water taxi - to make a quick getaway - it's 15 kuna per person and much better value than an actual taxi. Don't let the low price tempt you honestly just avoid.

The resort was much larger than we expected it to be, it’s massive. It is definitely a family friendly hotel with lots of children. They have several pools and a private beach which is really nice. Breakfast buffet is included in the stay which was nice. We ate dinner at their a la carte restaurant which was really good and reasonably priced. They have a water taxi to take you into the downtown area (for 15 kuna) every 30 minutes or you could walk into downtown which takes about 30 mins. I wish we had more time at the resort so we could take more advantage of the resort amenities.

Very good hotel. It’s not very close to the town, but is super clean and facilities are very well maintained .

+ Overall was everything great. Delicious breakfast and dinner with great choice. But you need to advertise hotel as a family hotel, beacuse there are mostly families with small children in a hotel. Personal are great and very polite, special greetings to room maid Mira. - Not enough space in pool area. You need to pay for sunbeds on hotel beach.

We loved this hotel. Ideal for families with kids. The hotel has a private beach, breakfast included (with the option to book dinner included too). We rented a boat and they picked us up in front of the hotel. The hotel has 3 pools and a "private" beach (anyone can go to he beach). We got a water taxi to arrive and to get back to the main port.

Overall very good. Hotel great and setting fantastic. Disappointed that the pool bar was closed and you had to walk out of the hotel grounds to get a cold beverage. We weren’t told this before our trip. Staff were friendly which is more than I can say to the other Croatian guests. Very rude to say the least. No social distancing whatsoever which surprised me. We were told that we’d be served our food. Instead it was a free for all in the restaurant.
