Lägenheten var toppen och fint skick men vi fick ingen städning på hela veckan då vi hade bokat själva och inte genom resebyrå. Minus också för att AC:n i sovrummet inte fungerade och det var plus 30 grader hela veckan. AC i allrummet fungerade bra. "

"We were on a family vacation in Croatia and stay in this apartment in Makarska. It has two bed-rroms and the main room with a sofa. The apartment is well-equipped and clean. It worked very well for us except that it is on top of a steep hill, so going up was quite a challenge. The main Makarska beach is about 25-30 min away and overcrowded. We ended up driving to other smaller, beaches that were much nicer, and it worked very well for us because exit to the main road was very easy. Another thing...

"Nous avons été très bien reçus par Sandra. Hote très sympathique. Le logement est bien situé pour rayonner dans la région. Vue magnifique depuis le très agréable jardin dont nous avons bien profité. Tout petit bémol pour nous, le fait que certains voyageurs doivent dormir dans la pièce de vie/cuisine et qu’il n’y ait pas de fenêtre et qu’on soit un peu dérangés par le bruit du frigo mais rien de grave. A 2 en dormant dans la chambre ce doit être parfait. Sinon appartement bien équipé (manque peut être un four micro ondes) En tout cas nous recommandons."

"Comfortable bed, beautiful view of the sea, great breakfast, clean room and entire hotel, great location by the sea, walking distance to the beach, main promenade. Not well thought through and dangerous design of the access to the balcony. Door threshold is good 25 plus cm high and 20 cm wide. The balcony floor is 20 plus cm above the room floor. When you walk from the balcony to the room you are stepping well deep in. I fell badly at night with dim light. I don’t drink alcohol, do no drugs, I am in good health, I beat up myself badly. Really bad design!"

10/10 Excellent
"It is great for a family style holiday, very relaxing. Everything is designed with family comfort in mind. We are thinking of bringing our friends with kids next time for a joint holiday! Our 3 and half year old daughter absolutely loved it! She had amazing time playing and making friends! Facilities are great there is loads to do for kids of all ages. The playroom and trampolines were an absolute hit for her! it makes it easier for parents to have a bit of down time at evening on the terrace. There is easy access to the beach with tiny pebbles and crystal clear water which we loved. Pool area is clean and wasn’t busy even on a cloudy day. We loved a snooze in the shade in the pine woods next to promenade on a slow afternoon. So peaceful and relaxing! Location of the hotel is great just a short walk to Makarska centre for exploring! Food was ok, there is something for everyone’s taste. I particularly liked a salad bar and healthy options. The pool bar has quality food, very tasty, it was quite a surprise, not something we expected for the standard pool bar! Room has been recently renovated, cleaned daily with loads of attention, quite basic but modern, new air con, TV, fridge etc., the only comment would be that beds could be more comfy with option for extra pillow. It was peaceful for sleeping. The staff were super nice and helpful, always ready to exchange a joke and so friendly! Highly recommended!"
