Lovina is a very small, local area with not much around. The beach is good for sunsets, but the sand is dark and the sea pretty dirty. The Lovina Oasis is a small business. We made the mistake of arriving after 5pm and the front doors were locked. We called and waited 5-10mins for someone to arrive to let us inside. If you are due to arrive after 5pm, you’re meant to let the staff know so they can meet you. After 5pm the front doors are locked and therefore it is the responsibility of the residents to lock up if you go out. The apartment was a good size. The bedroom had a very comfortable bed and was air conditioned (although not the most efficient AC we’ve ever experienced) but the rest of the apartment had only a fan which made it pretty much unliveable in the heat. The kitchen was very well equipped. The bathroom was outside. An experience for those that think so, but we weren’t big fans ourselves. The water was not always hot and the shower not very powerful. But for the amount we paid for the place, it was definitely good value. The pool was very nice and clean, we pretty much had it to ourselves the day we spent there. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Some nice little touches like being supplied with a local mobile phone to order food in was much appreciated after our long drive there. Overall, we would stay here again as it was great value for money. Sadly I don’t think we will be rushing back to Lovina though anytime soon.
