Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Pros: great breakfast, nice pool (small), easy beach access, many restaurants to choose from, close enough to split, charming towns and coastal walk, friendly staff. Cons: the room we reserved was no longer available which changed our sleeping accommodations, no safe in the room, no laundry service while we stayed, Ubers to Split run you at least €20, some of the local restraints have sub-par service and don’t seem to like tourists, parts of the area—not along the coast—are still very much up and coming.

The hotel was very cute and clean. It is just steps from the beach but not in the touristy part of town. We booked that hotel for our last night there solely for the proximity to the airport, an 11min drive. It was also a plus that they had a few restaurant choices within walking distance.

Great hotel in a great location!!

Lovely wee hotel in an awesome location! Lovely staff throughout - always happy to help! Extremely clean too - which you’d expect from a 4 star hotel but don’t always see!! Only very minor negative mentioning to management would be that although breakfast is lovely with plenty on offer, perhaps a little change on options from day to day would make it even better!!
