Pine Beach Pakoštane Adriatic Eco Resort
Things to know
before you go
This is an all-inclusive-light eco resort, not a luxury hotel-style all-inclusive.
The package includes full-board buffet meals and draught drinks during meals, plus many sports and activities, but not a full premium bar program.
Bungalows are rustic; travelers needing air conditioning, private bathrooms, or in-room power should study room details carefully.
Hidden tips
Choose a mobile home rather than a bungalow if comfort matters more than the rustic eco-camp experience.
Book included sports activities early because popular activity times can fill up.
This is a strong family and active-vacation fit, not a remote-work resort.
Things guests wish they had known
This is closer to an eco-camp all-inclusive than a conventional hotel resort.
Drinks are mainly included with meals, not as an unlimited premium bar plan.
The lack of a pool is less important for many guests because the beach and activities are central.
Strengths from our research
Natural sandy bay setting on the Adriatic.
Large included activity list, especially water sports and land sports.
Strong value for active families who understand the rustic setup.
Other considerations from our research
All-inclusive light has limited beverage scope.
Rustic accommodation will not suit travelers expecting standard resort-room amenities.

Our full take on Pine Beach Pakoštane Adriatic Eco Resort
Pine Beach Pakostane is an eco-camp all-inclusive on a sandy Adriatic bay in Dalmatia, for active families who want sailing and kayaking included. Windsurfing is in the package too, and there is no pool, by design. It is reached from Zadar's airport, and it is unlike anything else on this site: bungalows made of natural materials with no electricity and shared bathrooms, mobile homes with air conditioning and kitchens, one buffet restaurant and no pool at all. The beach and the water sports are the whole point.
Guests praise the beach and the natural setting, the long list of included sports and activities, the family atmosphere and the value of the buffet. The complaints are the rustic comfort of the bungalows, the limited amenities in the rooms, and activity sessions that fill up. The thing people wish they had known is that this is closer to a camp than a hotel, and that the drinks are included with meals rather than as an all-day bar.
The plan is all-inclusive light: full-board buffet with breakfast, lunch, a snack and dinner, draught beer, wine and juice served during meals, the Mini Club and the evening animation, and the sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and paddleboarding; massage and the airport transfer are extra, and there is no premium bar. Choose a mobile home if comfort matters and a bungalow if the eco-camp experience is the reason for coming, and book the popular activity slots early. Anyone who wants a resort pool or a private bathroom as standard should look elsewhere.
