The staff were very professional, courteous and helpful. The hotel was well maintained, although its age was catching up. The room was well maintained, hot shower, air conditioning etc, although the bed was harder than we’re used to. Good facilities, indoor and outdoor pool. Wellness area, gym, sauna etc, although we had to pass through the wellness centre and indoor pool to get to outdoor pool. Also, the bar was by reception and was a bit of a trek to get a drink for the pool. We went B&B, as my wife and I have had enough of buffets. We ate breakfast every morning and we did eat in the Restaurant one evening, for which were given a discount of 5 euros per head. Otherwise we ate out. The location of the hotel was another selling point, being 5 mins from beach and 10 mins from town. Plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, considering the size of the town. On the whole, it was a lovely stay and the staff Bent over backwards to help. Would we stay there again? Probably not, only because we want to see more of Croatia, so would visit somewhere else. There is a sister hotel, the Slavia. Better decor, but next to a church, where the bells can be heard miles away. Nevertheless, thanks to the staff, as they were very good. We booked the holiday with TUI before we read the reviews. There were some complaints regarding the food. There are plenty of tourists here, of many nationalities, and Brits are not the largest. The cuisine is European. The breakfast buffet is not like a Premier Inn, so no pork sausages, baked beans, black pudding or brown sauce. If you’re willing to experiment, plenty of present surprises. We ate out a lot, by design. We were told that everything was dirt cheap out there. Not any more. Croatia have adopted the Euro as their currency, which has hiked up the prices. Still reasonable though, as we spent on average 55 Euros per meal, for 2. Main meal and drinks. However, Croatia has only recently jumped on the tourism bandwagon, which means if you want a quiet holiday with traditional food and holidaymakers from Central Europe, this is your place. If you prefer the creature comforts of English cuisine, bars and tourists who will fight over sun beds, don’t worry. It won’t be long before mass tourism comes along and spoils it
