When Grand Park Hotel Rovinj planned its next outdoor-space enhancement, it returned to Howvin, continuing a long-standing furniture supply relationship.
The latest procurement comprised more than 100 beach loungers, 60 commercial patio umbrellas, and six outdoor sofa sets. It brought together individual reclining places, shade, and shared seating within one furniture package.
The decision to return followed a history of on-time deliveries and products without serious quality issues during the cooperation. On occasions when aluminum components sustained minor scratches during transport, Howvin responded promptly and assisted the hotel in addressing the problem.
This experience gives the project its defining feature: a repeat order supported by previous delivery performance, product experience, and after-sales assistance.

The Setting: Outdoor Living on Rovinj's Waterfront
Grand Park Hotel Rovinj is part of Maistra Collection in Rovinj, Croatia. The hotel's official presentation highlights views of the old town, terraced architecture, and a setting connected to the Golden Cape forest park. Maistra
Its surroundings make outdoor space an important part of the stay. Guests can spend time near the water, take in the views, or relax within the hotel's landscaped setting.
The supplied project imagery shows terraces, planted edges, lounge arrangements, and rows of loungers and umbrellas. These views provide context for the furniture brief: outdoor products need to support use of the space while sitting comfortably within an established architectural and landscape character.
The Howvin procurement for this enhancement comprised loungers, umbrellas, and sofa sets, supporting several complementary uses of the outdoor environment.
Why the Hotel Returned to Howvin
A repeat order follows experience with earlier purchases. In this case, the hotel already knew Howvin through a long-standing supply relationship.
Three aspects of that experience were relevant.
On-Time Deliveries
Previous orders had been delivered on time throughout the cooperation.
For a hotel, delivery reliability matters because furniture purchasing needs to fit around the property's operating plans. A procurement team needs to consider when furniture will be available, as well as which products to select.
This delivery history gave the hotel an existing reference when considering its next outdoor-space requirement.
Product Experience Over the Cooperation
No serious product-quality issues had arisen during the relationship.
This describes the hotel's experience with the supplied products during the cooperation. It provided a practical basis for considering Howvin again when additional outdoor furniture was needed.
The next purchasing decision therefore drew on experience with earlier orders, alongside the requirements of the new project.
Assistance After Delivery
There had been minor scratches on aluminum components caused during transport. Howvin responded promptly and assisted the hotel in resolving these issues.
The detail matters because the relationship continued beyond delivery. When an issue arose, the hotel had a supplier that remained involved.
Together, these experiences help explain why Grand Park Hotel Rovinj contacted Howvin again when it planned the latest enhancement.
The Latest Outdoor Furniture Package
More Than 100 Beach Loungers
The order included more than 100 beach loungers.
Loungers provide individual places to recline, read, rest, and take breaks during time spent outdoors. They support guests who want to enjoy the setting without remaining active throughout the day.
The quantity makes this a substantial furniture procurement rather than a small decorative addition. Exact placement and distribution remain part of the hotel's layout.
For guest use, the purpose is straightforward: an appropriate place to spend the quieter intervals of a beach or leisure day.
60 Commercial Patio Umbrellas
The 60 commercial patio umbrellas added shade to the package.
Shade gives guests another option when choosing where to rest. A shaded position can support reading, conversation, or a break from direct sunlight, depending on the canopy and its placement.
Together with the loungers, the umbrellas bring shade and reclining into the same furniture package. Their final arrangement determines how those functions work together for guests.
Six Outdoor Sofa Sets
Six outdoor sofa sets introduced shared seating alongside the individual reclining furniture.
A sofa arrangement offers a place for couples, families, or friends to sit together. It supports conversation and relaxed time as a group, providing a different use from individual loungers.
Including both seating formats allows an outdoor scheme to serve different activities and preferences.
How the Furniture Supports the Guest Experience
Individual Rest and Shared Time
The loungers and sofa sets serve complementary purposes.
A guest seeking a personal resting place can use a lounger. A group wanting to sit together can use a sofa arrangement.
Providing both formats helps an outdoor setting accommodate these different ways of spending time, without expecting one furniture type to serve every activity.
A Choice of Shade
The umbrellas add a shade option to the resting areas.
Their role is to complement the seating and reclining furniture, allowing the layout to offer different levels of sun exposure as conditions change.
This gives guests more choice in how they spend time outdoors. Actual coverage depends on the selected umbrella and its position.
Time to Enjoy the Setting
Rovinj's waterfront setting is part of the hotel's appeal. Furniture provides somewhere to pause and experience that setting rather than simply move through it.
Reading, conversation, and quiet rest can all become part of time spent outdoors. The furniture supports those activities while allowing the surrounding landscape and views to remain central to the experience.
Different Rhythms Within the Same Group
People travelling together do not always want to do the same thing.
One person may want to recline while others prefer conversation. A combination of loungers and shared seating supports those different rhythms within the wider outdoor environment.
The package therefore provides a range of uses, from individual rest to shared time.
The Importance of Support After Delivery
The history of this cooperation includes both successful deliveries and assistance when minor transport damage occurred.
Howvin's response to the scratches on aluminum components is a practical part of the case. It shows that the supplier relationship included follow-up when the hotel needed help.
The prompt assistance formed part of the hotel's experience of working with Howvin, alongside the products and deliveries themselves.
For hotel procurement teams, this experience is relevant when deciding whether to work with a supplier again. Delivery, product condition, communication, and issue handling all contribute to that decision.
Project Summary
The latest Grand Park Hotel Rovinj procurement continued an established relationship with Howvin.
The order covered:
More than 100 beach loungers
60 commercial patio umbrellas
Six outdoor sofa sets
It combined reclining, shade, and shared seating for the hotel's outdoor-space enhancement.
The repeat purchase followed previous on-time deliveries, a product history without serious quality issues during the cooperation, and prompt assistance with minor transport-related scratches.
The case provides a reference for Howvin's experience supporting repeat hospitality procurement and maintaining communication beyond the initial delivery.
