It was a pity that my wife had food poisoning during our stay in Zadar. But thankfully, the hotel staff were up to the task and gave me the necessary support we needed. They served us food from their hotel restaurant to our rooms (thats just below the hotel), kept checking on us if my wife needed any assistance by giving us hot water and tea for my wife (hoping that she will get better). The staff of Ivan Lalin and Ivan Budan impressed us with their care and concern. This was greatly...
