Just got back from a lovely week here. We travelled as a family with our 13 month old baby. Location - Everything you need, we wanted a chilled week and didn't go out much. We walked down to the beach a few times which is a 5 min walk down the hill and we went into Old Town on the number 6 bus for the morning, that was very quick and easy, about 20 minutes journey. Rooms - Perfect size for the 3 of us, as we had a travel cot it was a bit of a tight squeeze so we had to move stuff around but it was doable. We had a sea view which was lovely! One downfall is that there is only one seat outside, it would have been nice to have two but we used to stalls in the room and took that outside instead. Pool - Two pools, a baby one with the slides and a bigger one. The baby pool can get very busy with all the kids coming down the slides there isn't much room for us to be in there with our baby which is a shame, but understandable as the slides are a great addition! We used the bigger one which wasn't a problem. There were a lot of teenagers there going down the slides as groups, splashing around and pushing each other over which looked to be ruining it for other kids and babies. I would say that pool is only there for the slides and not a 'kids pool' as it was stated. Food - Mixed reviews on this one, my husband really liked it and thought the choice was great. However, I am a little more fussy. I found breakfast boring, it was the same every morning. Very greasy bacon, no pancakes/waffles, no hashbrowns or potatoes and the bread was quite stale. I managed to get by though, the omelettes are great! Lunch was nice, its a buffet style which had a lot of choice. Always a fresh meat on the grill and a different risotto. Always pizza available. There are no chips at lunch, I didn't mind this but I spoke with a few families who were annoyed about this situation due to their kids wanting chips. Snacks was nice, a choice of sandwiches (quite soggy bread from being on the heat counter) or beef koftas/burgers and chips every day, it did get a bit samey but it was nice so can't complain. Dinner was pretty much the same as lunch with options, a few dishes to choice from, potatoes/rice, veg, pizza, chips, fish of the night etc. Desserts were the same every day, we didn't have them other than the fruit salad which was nice. Be careful when eating the cherries, we cut into them for our baby and there were maggots in them.. If they are soft, don't eat them! No ice cream/lollies at all which is a bit of a let down. Soft drinks were awful, not branded and not great. The coke had no taste and the fizzy orange tasted like syrup. Great coffee out the coffee machine though! Staff - AMAZING. Couldn't fault any of them! All so friendly and helpful. They all made such an effort with our baby, every time he waved at them they waved back and made sure they would keep coming back to say hello. The bar staff were a little more on the moody side but hey ho! Maro World - Great! Best kids entertainment we have ever seen, they have a disco and a show every evening which is great. We had a thunderstorm one day when we were there and we spent a good few hours here! Entertainment - Other than Maro World, the hotel don't have anything in the evenings. We asked and they said it was at their sister hotel but we didn't bother going there and we went to Maro World instead. Overall, we had a lovely week here!

Overall a very good half term break that worked well for a three generation group of ten. The hotel was pretty good. There's a pool table and table football in the main area. Rooms clean but maybe a little tired. The food and drink was good throughout; the children particularly liked the mid-afternoon snacks. Lots of time by the pool where there are slides and a bar. The sea is just a short walk away. A five minute walk away, past all the stray cats, is Maro world which is free and was good for trampolining and gaming. There are also some shops close by. Durbrovnik old town was a 10 Euro Uber away, other taxis cost more, especially coming back which tended to be 20 Euros. There's also a bus available. The old town is beautiful. Lots of boat trips and tours available, and a cable car. The only negatives: there was no onsite entertainment, this was available at a sister hotel although we didn't check it out; there are no water bottle refill stations; the pillows are a bit flimsy. But overall, a very good holiday. Thank you!
