Modern bohemian beach decor. Fun atmosphere. Super clean. Hardworking staff. Location is awesome. Right on beach and close to promenade of restaurants and bar. Flex board is fantastic. Can use towards drinks or food. Buffet breakfast is plentiful. Would definitely stay here again. Ask for view facing pool/sea/mountains.

Great hotel

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Everything was great! The pool area is big and spacey. The gaming lounge was cool. The restaurant was big, with both seats inside and outside. Worth the money - will definitely come back 😊
Verified review

6/10 Good

It was a nice hotel but over priced as you paid for the location. It was good to be able to use vouchers for drinks istead of having to eat the meals as choice was limited. Place was under staffed but everyone was helpful. Limited beach towels and bed around the pool. The beach in front of the hotel was small and you have to pay extra for the beds

This was the best hotel that we stayed at out of the four total on our one month long Euro trip!!! The best part of this place is that it isn’t a resort but sure does feel like it. My wife loved that the beach was literally the backyard from the junior sweet deluxe room. The theme of design overall got the best of me as it’s a little romantic, hipster and modern like made me feel different vibes. I’ll definitely stay here the next time I’m in Makarska!

8/10 Very good

Absolutely loved the hotel location and vibe. The room was beautiful. The pool and beach area were absolutely amazing. However; I think the place could be cleaned better. The room was not even hoovered. We would get our bed made in the morning but never coffee or mugs replaced. The bathroom door was covered in hand prints and water marks and stains. The pool area where the canopy’s were was the worst. There was dirt and hair all between the mattresses. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. The pool was pretty dirty too. The water had loads of dirt and bits in it. We would watch staff straightening all the sun beds and cushions but never ever cleaned or sweeped anything. It’s sad because if they did, it would be so nice. Food at the restaurant was basic and nothing over the top but loads of placed to go to on the actually strip outside the hotel. Staff were very helpful, the reception and restaurant staff were lovely and super helpful. Even at the beach front, there was one guys who was so friendly and helpful. View is incredible. It all just needs a little bit of TLC and attention to detail and it would be 10/10.

4/10 Fair

This hotel is very aesthetically pleasing, but has a lot of underlying issues which need to be addressed. We recently stayed for the weekend and although there are some positives unfortunately the negatives outweighed this. As it’s coming into peak summer season it is clear the hotel is stretched staff wise. One major issue in this hotel is the sun loungers at the pool, if you aren’t up at 6.30am you have next to no chance of a sun lounger. Although signs around the hotel state you cannot reserve sun loungers they did not actively enforce this. I spoke with staff at the pool as we arrived at 9am and every single sun lounger was reserved he said if people didn’t return in an hour he would move them but he did not and we were left with plastic loungers for the day. As we were there for 3 days we didn’t complain too much but if this was a week long stay it would be more of an issue. Another issue is the air con in the room which didn’t work properly and was set to 22 degrees inside which is far too hot especially when it is above 30 degrees outside. The staff were very helpful at reception and friendly which is something I cannot fault. This hotel has capacity to be great if minor issues are fixed! The hotel is located in a beautiful location and has nice restaurants around.

This hotel in Makarska is fabulous! The food offered here in the hotel is excellent. Best pizza I’ve had during my stay. The beds are comfortable, location is great however my only disappointment would be the beach. Even though the hotel is on exactly on the beach, it does offer access to it and it was very overcrowded. Not a lot of space to hang out. The beach was beautiful but I wasn’t able to enjoy it much since it was overcrowded with other guests/tourists. It is too bad since everything was great about our stay. Pool was fantastic, service at the pool was great including the drinks.

Great stay - but..

Extraordinary hotel with large "buzz" areas where you can hang out. We were give a room at the top floor with sea view (well worth the money) with a stunning overview. Very close to the sea which we enjoyed every day. Huge variation in employees friendliness and attention to detail. The pool bar was definitely low on service, while the cleaning lady was super helpful and always smiling. Breakfast was good, but evening buffet was not at the quality level you would expect. Hire someone with a bit more passion to lead the kitchen and the waiters - and we would give the hotel five stars!

It’s located on a great location walking distance to everything. The hotel has a great hipster concept.The layout of the pool with a view to the mountains and sea is extremely beautiful. Also the beach is right there easy excess. Unfortunately the food and drinks are not good at all. The bartenders at the pool bar need a little training. Waiting 25 minutes for a drink and being awful is just bad. They used orange juice to make a piña colada 😐 at the end we ended up buying drinks at the market and taking them up to the beach. We were on the 8th floor with a sea view and Mountain View which we absolutely loved. Also the a/c only goes down to 21 which is way to warm for us. Overall it’s a nice hotel located in a great convenient area with a lot to offer. Just wouldn’t recommend to eat or drink there. Makarska is sooo beautiful.

8/10 Very good

The hotel was really clean and the pool area was great. Really comfortable sunbeds. However, people did try and 'reserve' a sunbed super early in the morning, But the hotel policy did not allow that so there were measures in place to try and prevent this and allow everyone to get a sun bed. The hotel is perfectly positioned right next to the beach. The beaches are quite small, but the sea is amazing and the local islands are well worth a visit. The a la carte menu in the hotel was good but limited. I wasn't that impressed with the evening buffet menu so we only ate there once. But the flexi half board meant that we could then use the allowance for the a la carte lunch or drinks so it worked very well. And there are lots of lovely alternatives for food in the local area or in the town a short walk away. We loved the hotel, but we chose the smaller of the rooms which we did regret as the rooms although nicely decorated are very small and there is very limited storage and the bathroom is very small. But all in all we have a great time and would recommend.

This place far exceeded all expectations! Beautiful, clean, modern, comfortable, efficient... everything is thought through to the smallest detail to make the stay as relaxing and pleasant as possible. I wish to give it extra stars and recommend it to everyone. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable and always available to answer any question and assist with any need. It's located right on a promenade with the direct path to the beach, 2 beautiful swimming pools, a poolbar, restaurant and every possible amenity one may need! Day and night entertainment is available but yet its always peaceful, pleasant, never too loud. My husband and I absolutely loved everything they had to offer - lounging at the pool or swimming in a sea first thing in a morning. Now the food is a Special treat here - freshly prepared abundant variety of choices for any taste, incl gluten free dietary needs. Updated menu every day and Always delicious. Flexible spending option for meal plan is available and is easy to use with an user-friendly app and a silicone bracelet that works as a roomkey and a payment scan - easy to wear all day even when swimming- never worry about loosing a key! Every tourist activity or a tour pick up spot is close by and walking distance - small grocery store 5 min away, bus terminal 15 min away Whatever one may need - they got it. Special kudos to the amazing staff crew! Our stay in Dalmacija made me fall in love with Croatia, its hospitality and lovely, kind Croatian People

Like the new concept, look and feel that they have introduced this year. You have all the things you need very close. The restaurant and pool bar had great service. The concept with "money" loaded on the wrist tag that you used for food and drinks worked great.

Family vacation

Very nice hotel. The interior was modern and stylish. We had "cherry on the top" room, this was amazing, big and with excellent view. Especially for familyroom this was a rally Nice room. The hotel alsonhad a gaming room with pool, pingpong and playstations, our teenager like this alot. The pool area was clean and there where a lot of sumbeds The hotel employees was polite and helpful. Restaurant was ok, breakfast was wonderful and had lots of different options. Lunch and dinner menu was good, but for dinner i suggestone of the many resturants i the area. I really loved the way this hotel implements half-pension. You get a certain amount of money on a bracelet, and you can ise this on what you like during your stay. If you want lunch every day or just cocktails every evening you can spend the money the way you like. All at once or little every day.
