We have been very impressed with the hotel, especially it being 3*, which we thought was underestimation. The hotel is clean, pleasant decor, large balconies in every room, properly working aircon, convenient location for what we needed - right on the sea cost & next to the tennis school. Towels changed daily, although no beach towels provided. The sunbeds are free by the pool, but paid by the sea. The drive to the centre of Umag (where all the restaurants and shops are) is about 5 min. We enjoyed the buffet breakfasts - the food was fresh and variable and plenty. There were only a couple of small disadvantages for us - no fridge in the room and quite crowded feel about the coast (few hotel right next to each other), somehow we often felt surrounded by people & kids & noise when we walked around the Punta area. My partner didnt like the concrete beaches (we couldnt find sandy beaches in Istria), but i found them ok and very clean. Our room was facing the courts and the parking area, the view was great, but there was quite a lot of noise coming from touristic buses every morning (starting from 6am). The staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful, and trying to speak all the languages. Overall we enjoyed our holiday, if we go back to Istria, we would definetely stay in hotel Sipar again.
