Jadro Beach

This was meant to be a treat for tired, sore back travelers, advertised as a luxury spa resort.It failed.The booking made on Expedia website clearly stated 2 separate beds. The hotel claimed they did not receive the exact information. They tried to be somewhat accommodating and made a bed out of 2 couches. The arrangement did not work well as the couches moved at night and were uncomfortable. If you cannot sleep well, relaxation is gone. The spa was mostly nude and for unaccompanied women, quite uncomfortable. It has saunas, cooling and warming small pools. No real hot tub or jets. Had a massage session at US hotel prices. The masseuse was good , however did not ask about any medical conditions or precautions. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The pizza place provided an undercooked crust average pie. The other restaurants were good, not excellent.The indoor/outdoor pools are nice. The beach is just a shoreline, not the most picturesque or particularly well maintained. Can do much better in other areas of Croatia. The property is isolated. Some neglected lots are in the vicinity as well as some ugly, hopefully administrative buildings.Not much else to do nearby. Overall, I’d say it is a 3-4 star resort ( 3 for poor sleeping arrangements), overpriced for Croatia and service provided. Does not give you the flavor of that Country, nor is it the luxury resort it claims to be. Ok for a short conference if you don’t care about the location and don’t need the not bed sofa!

Not really a 5 star hotel but it was nice. The pool was lovely. Went half board but drinks in evening expensive which bumps up the cost. Rooms are not good for teenagers, beds not standard size. Asked reception for extra pillow 3 times but didn’t come, asked the maid instead who got one for us. Taxi to airport 60 euro, taxi to town 30 euro one way. Wouldn’t stay again but would recommend to anyone who has young children.

The staff were very helpful. Breakfast was very good.
