"Absolutely awesome! Beautiful hotel in front of the Adriatic sea. Warm welcome. Beautifuly decorated. Very large room. Has a spa, two outdoors pool and one indoor (but it's not really a pool, more like a huge jacuzzi). Gym, hammam, sauna. Very well located 10 mins from city center and 60 km from Split or Zadar without the turmoil of these cities. Free parking and good breakfast. Only negative thing was that the curtain in the bedroom does not make the room pitch black so if you need total darkness to sleep you won't have it. The balcony with lounge chairs and ashtray is a plus. Overall it was awesome Thanks to the staff for their professionalism and their smile. (If you guys could charge a bit less for the dog it would be absolutely perfect!!)"

"Very nice hotel. The staff was excellent! The restaurant next door was so convenient and had exceptional food. "

"The staff was very kind. The location is perfect, and the point of view quite stunning. We highly recommend this hotel. "

"We loved our stay! Fabulous location and cocktails on the roof top terrace at dusk, a wonderful way to end our vacation.. AnnaMarie went out of her way to ensure we were treated royally. King Kresimir would be proud. The decor was gorgeous and the included served breakfast was perfect. "

"The room is good"

"Had a lovely stay at Skradinski Buk Hotel in Skradin, the room was a decent size with comfy beds & a balcony looking out to the mountains & town, plus large modern bathroom with complementary soaps. The staff were friendly & helpful, & breakfast had a good selection of teas, coffee, cereals, croissants, bread etc & cooked. The granola & chocolate croissants were great. The hotels location was perfect, just around the corner from the bus stop & situated in the town & only a few minutes walk to the harbour & beach. Also plenty of great bars & restaurants to choose from, our favourites being bistro & bar pini (opposite the hotel), mate vino, restaurant & pizzeria sol & restaurant bonaca. Also would definitely recommend visiting Krka national park while there, the boat from skradin to Skradinski buk waterfall is included in park ticket & addition excursion to the monastery & Roski slap can be purchased while at the park. All in all we loved Skradin & Skradinski Buk Hotel was a great place to stay"

"Beautiful hotel, fabulous rooms, beautiful a la carte restaurant. Breakfast was excellent. Restaurant for half board evening meal- terrible! Like a bad motorway cafeteria, not enough trained staff and awful food. So we ate out! "

"Hotel Life Palace is fantastic! Great location: right in the middle of Old Town, which is charming, fully pedestrianized, and easily walkable. (No cars in Old Town but it’s small enough that it’s easy to carry/roll your suitcase to you car, taxi, or bus.) There are bistros, snack-shops, cafes, and full restaurants right out the front door or around the corner. But a word of warning: for breakfast, you’ll want to stay in the hotel—every morning, there’s a great selection of treats and mainstays. The hotel itself is super-comfortable—you get the visual delight of a historic palace combined with modern comforts. And, finally, the staff is amazing—efficient, attentive, and super-nice."

"Everything eas very nice, including dinner at the restaurant!"
