A budget property offering 547 apartments, the seasonal Apartments Lanterna attracts travelers seeking an inexpensive Croatian beach holiday, especially families and groups from neighboring countries. Apartments are basic and dated, with kitchens, living rooms, and balconies. They lack air-conditioning or fans, which can be problematic, plus Wi-Fi is only available at reception.
