Dotted with layered rocks that step into the ocean, this spot is prime for snorkeling and cliff jumping. #beaches #croatia #travel #lifeatexpedia #blue

Good and clean hotel with a lovely swimming pool

A really good hotel. The hotel had its own swimming pool and was very close to the beach. The hotel had a good parking lot, but it was a pity that the parking lot was also used by those who were not residents of the hotel. The hotel had a good breakfast. The room was very clean.

Great property for a family vacation. The staff is very kind and great hosts. We chose half board, and while it was nice to have dinner at the hotel, I would have liked to have tried the many nearby walkable restaurants. We felt guilty for not using what we had paid for. I'm just putting that out there for those trying to decide on breakfast or half board (dinner only). Pool towels are available.

Uns (9 Personen) hat das Hotel und die Lage sehr gut gefallen. Wir hatten HP und das Essen war immer frisch, lecker und für jeden was dabei. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und entgegenkommend. Der Weg zum Strand ist über eine gerade Strecke gut und in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Der Strand ist meistens Kies, das Wasser nicht so tief und wenn man etwas weiter reingeht ist da Sand. Im Hotel gab es eine Animation und außerhalb der Anlage sehr viele Bars und Restaurants. Der einziger Mangel ist der Teppich im Hotel, der wirklich schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Ansonsten würde das Hotel empfehlen und auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Das Frühstücksbuffet hatte eine grosse Auswahl, war dementsprechend sehr lecker. Die Zimmer sind sehr alt und dringend renovierungsbedürftig, Teppich in einem Hotel find ich total unhygienisch und war dreckig. Auch die Klimaanlage hat wie ein Ventilator funktioniert als wirklich abgekühlt. Am Pool reservieren sich viele Touristen bereits in frühen Morgenstunden die Liegen und sind meinst garnicht am Pool. Ist für mich ein no go! Das Hotel hat leider keine Liegen am Meer was ich sehr schade finde.

We hebben hier een prima verblijf gehad van 4 dagen, het hotel is ietwat verouderd maar alles is netjes en schoon. Het personeel was vriendelijk, het ontbijt was niet heel uitgebreid maar wat er lag was lekker en vers. Wat wij wel minder vonden was dat er bij het hotel zelf echt niks te doen was, het was bij het zwembad ondanks dat er genoeg mensen lagen zelfs zo stil dat wij bijna schrik haddden om te praten. Het leek wel een stiltegebied.

Preis-Leistung völlig ok !

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber, das Personal aufmerksam und zuvorkommend , schade dass beim tollen Frühstück nach wie vor vieles einzeln verpackt ist , Butter Marmelade usw. , nicht sehr umweltfreundlich dass kann man besser lösen. Wir hatten nur Frühstück da das Abendbuffet wie letztes Jahr eher langweilig und überhaupt nicht kroatisch war , für unser Verständnis jedenfalls . Alles in allem das 2. Mal dort gewesen und wir werden wieder kommen , Preis Leistung ist völlig ok , schade nur dass die Liegenbelger am Pool auch hier nicht ausgebremst werden , ist echt zum kotzen was sich da teilweise abgespielt hat !!!
