Ok but could be bettter
We were a little underwhelmed. Our expectations were high with the hotel Having a 9/10 rating when we booked. Unfortunately, the hotel didn’t quite deliver. We were booked into the wrong room type but that was hotels.com fault and not the hotel itself. We were surprised when after 3 days we moved rooms we were charged for an upgrade even though the room we moved to was the same price. The 1st room had some issues with the plumbing and had an unfortunate smell, the walls had cracks in the plaster and some of the finishings were untidy. The “limited view” was awful. The second room had a much better view but again some sloppy fittings like loose toilet seat. Generally the rooms were ok but our expectations were high. The beach was beautiful but the time it took to get served for a drink was poor. The cups were plastic and could do with being replaced. The all inclusive spirits were not great and similar with the inclusive soft drinks. The pool was ok and clean. We didn’t see anyone using the swim up rooms and couldn’t really see the benefit of them. I would recommend sticking to the sea view rooms. The food was ok but we would have been disappointed if we had been served this food in a restaurant. We used the restaurant for some meals but supplemented with some beautiful food in the restaurants in Markaska. Lots of the food in the restaurant was the same everyday and got a little repetitive. The games room was ok but lots of the games were damaged. Overall we would give a 7/10.

Beautiful and almost perfect except…
All inclusive adults only feature was great! No kids so it was quiet. Free food and drinks and select alcoholic beverages. View from our swim up pool was amazing! However our pool was full of mildew and mold. We were celebrating our anniversary so I booked the couples soirée which included dinner by the beach in a private day bed. It was perfect until we got interrupted by some local teenagers trespassing since it’s not a closed in area from the public. Which I reported to the front desk but was not offered any compensation which was disappointing since it was 120 euro booking. We also booked the couples relax which included a 25 minute massage which was wonderful but not long enough for 130 euro but came with a cocktail and snacks which we did not receive but no biggie. It also came with a Bali bed by the pool. Other than that it’s a beautiful resort. Just need some touching up and cleaning the swimup pools then it’d be perfect.

Great for Couples!
We had a blast on a girls trip! The service from the very beginning was amazing. We didn’t have to check in as soon as we walked in. Hotel staff made sure we got to eat dinner on our first night in! After a long day of traveling, this made the trip already off to a great start! The food was okay, but drinks were great. Remember that the beach is pebble not sand! We did massages and facials… 100000% worth it. We are already planning our trip back. While you’re there, check out Makarska. The hotel has a shuttle but if it’s full, they will call you a cab. Wonderful service!

We stayed at this lovely hotel for 5 nights. The hotel grounds are beautifully kept. are nice and clean. Hotel receptionists Željana and Jure were very kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. I strongly recommend visiting the Spa at the hotel. My husband and I booked massages with Katarina and Ljiljana. They were both amazing. We will definitely come back.

The hotel is amazing and we were so happy to hear we were upgraded to a room with a private pool outside our balcony!! Thank you! The staff and room service was Just Wonderful!! This is more of an all inclusive hotel which we did not know or book it that way so trying to get drinks at the pool can be challenging. Property is beautiful but for those that can not do stairs it has many up and down stairs even with elevators you have to climb many stairs to get around a strange layout. Breakfast buffet was wonderful.

Very Disappointing
We checked in late night around 11:30pm. Asked for late check out... they said they would charge 15 Euros for an hour. We stayed at three other hotels in Croatia before we got here and they all gave an hour of late check out without a fee. The man at the reception was very nice though. Gave us some cold water to drink while we filled our forms with passport info which again in other hotels we didnt have to do. Then he started putting a bracelet on for "All included stay so that when we go for breakfast next morning they would know" . He expected us to sleep with that bracelet on to which I said no sir. Then he gave us the bracelets to put the next morning ourselves. Our room was pretty far from the main building so the security guy helped us with the luggage. Once we entered the room we saw how small the room was. Smallest we saw on our trip. The floors were damp. Bathroom was even smaller. There was no way to sit on the pot because it was so close to the sink vanity. There was no way to fit your legs because the pot was installed so close to the sink on one side and shower stall on the other. It was a double size bed. Again smaller. At check out we told the lady at the reception on how we felt.

Nice stay
Hotel is very nice. Beach is amazing . Staff is polite. One problem: don't let the lady clean your room without you being in the room. We realized after we left that some of our clothing is missing, like 4 or 5 shirts and pants ( worth about $600). We can't say that the cleaning lady took it, however she was the only one in the room. So don't take chances, be in the room when cleaning is done.

Das Hotel liegt in die Natur eingebettet direkt am Strand mit kristallklarem Wasser und bietet so ziemlich alles was das Herz begehrt. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und würden wiederkommen. Wir waren zum Saisonende dort und haben nicht verstanden, das trotz voller Auslastung einige Angebote nicht mehr zur Verfügung standen. Bsp. Strandbar. Den Service vor allem der gastronomische Service im Tagesrestaurant wirkte leider etwas zu oft abwesend/unmotiviert und kleine Wünschen wie z.B. einen bestimmten Tisch kurz einzudecken, waren leider spürbar bei den meisten Kellnern gar nicht willkommen. Allerdings traf das nicht auf alle zu, Dich die sehr bemühten konnten den getrübten Eindruck leider nicht ganz ausgleichen. Alles in Allem jedoch ein tolles Hotel für aktive Menschen, die Ruhe und Entspannung suchen…

The hotel was not what we expected. Check in was slow and the rooms were not ready a minute early which meant that there were 20 people waiting for their rooms at the lobby at the same time. Buffet breakfast wasn’t exactly buffet but staff handing you the stuff that you asked for. Not convinient at all. Half the beach chairs were reserved at seven am even though the people would only arrive hours later. It was clearly told on the hotel rules that it is not allowed to reserve the chairs but the staff did nothing about it so it was sometimes difficult to find a chair. The gym opened at 8 am. Would have been nice If it was open 24/7 as in other places as some people like to work out early. The room was nice was nice and pretty clean.
