“Relaxing break”

Hotel situated in a beautiful setting by an inlet surrounded by Pine trees - 20 mins walk on a scenic pathway into Vrboska. The room was basic but clean & functional. Good shower / fresh towels daily etc. The restaurant had good selection of Salads, Fish, meats, pasta, pizza etc - the sauces were always very tasty! Beer was good quality - the house Red wine initially wasnt good but must have been changed as was ok later in the week. The restaurant can get busy at peak times as buffet area on smaller side - but all worked out with a little patience! Good value.

“Very pretty setting”

The hotel is in a lovely setting and it's easy to walk to the shingle beach which is directly in front. Its about half an hour walk to Vrboska which can be quite challenging in the heat and dodging the many cyclists and e scooters. Worth the trip though and a very pretty walk.

The hotel is in a lovely setting and it's easy to walk to the shingle beach which is directly in front. Its about half an hour walk to Vrboska which can be quite challenging in the heat and dodging the many cyclists and e scooters. Worth the trip though and a very pretty walk. My room was spacious and clean and I loved my balcony (side sea view). There's a kettle in the room. The air con is difficult to negotiate and we were woken up a few times at 2 or 3 in the morning with it coming back on like a helicopter and beeping even though it was turned off. The canteen is awful - crowded, bright and very noisy. Pathetic coffee machines resulting in long queues. Its poorly organised with the layout not making sense. Often ran out of cups and glasses. 'Hot' food was often cold or lukewarm and chicken sometimes undercooked. I was a bit wary of some offerings but mostly found something nice to eat The salad bar was good (but the same every day) and there's a variety of fruit. Loads of desserts and an ice cream station. Hot breakfast was usually dreadful - salty, plastic bacon and dried up bits of sausage with lukewarm mushrooms and tomatoes. No egg station so undercooked fried eggs or rubber scrambled. Brown bread usually ran out. But there's a good choice of cold breakfast which I enjoyed. The reception has a strange, unpleasant smell. Helpful staff - be prepared for the local tax as you check out (big surprise!) €12.60 pppw. The grounds are beautiful but poorly lit at night with few handrails. The shingle beach is very pretty with plenty of sunbeds available in the grounds and on the beach. There's also a diving school on the complex. The upper terrace bar is not included in the all inclusive. The lower terrace is a beautiful setting but there's frequent wafts of a sewage smell in the evening. The pool is lovely with plenty of sunbeds. Pool towels are included and you can change them at reception. The wi fi is excellent! All in all it was a very relaxing week (apart from the canteen) in a very pretty setting.

Attempting to be constructive I've divided comments into Good, bad and ugly. We were worried about the hotel having read the recent reports so our expectation levels were set low. It was far better than the low bar we were expecting and is a reasonable mid range resort and its location is absolutely stunning. It doesn't live up to it's 4 star billing, but it is comfortable, safe and clean. The Good: - Fabulous setting, clean rooms, plenty of sunbeds, never an issue finding one in sun or shade. Free use of in-room safe, good housekeeping service. Salads, and the local beer. The Bad:- Restaurant which is more like a noisy works canteen, regularly running out of cups and glasses, ridiculous coffee machine causing long queues, hot (warm) food limited in choice often not replenished. Red wine awful, although in fairness white wine drinkable. Storage space in rooms extremely limited. Bar near reception not included in all inclusive package. Random air conditioning which did it's own thing regardless of the controls. Hotel does have mini crazy golf - but only seems to own one golf ball. The Ugly:- Unexpected tax bill presented at departure - unlike other Croatian islands. Sewerage smells often wafting over bar that is included in AI package.
