Food: We only had breakfast and we are very happy about it, because. tried different types of pizza, fish, lasagna etc. in local restaurants, so lunches and dinners were varied and interesting outside the hotel. So, the breakfasts were decent and tasty. Especially liked: crispy fresh bread of different types, different pastries, cakes, "finger" sausages, different types of cheese, including fried in batter. We ate, to be honest. But! Were seen sometimes dishes "yesterday", reheated and decorated with some tomatoes and cheese on top.
Housekeeping: nothing special, but I didn't understand their rules. Towels were changed every day, sometimes every other day. Vacuumed in the room, too, through time.
Staff: not strained, as, for example, in Turkey. Friendly, neutral, tipping is not necessary.
What obviously did not like it: it turned out that in September the influx of pensioners from all over Europe begins. And the hotel at the time of our vacation was full of old people from Germany, England, Sweden, etc... Honestly, it was not very pleasant. Because during breakfast it felt like we were eating in a nursing home. And in the evenings, they were given discos by the pool with the appropriate music (we had a balcony on this side). Those. in general, in September there were a lot of European pensioners in Makarska, more than young people and children. But it seemed that all the old people were gathered to the maximum in Dalmatia.
I recommend to everyone who will rest in Makarska to take an excursion to Mount Biokovo (by minibus with a guide and an experienced "mountain" driver, this tour is definitely available from the IBCI tour operator). Impressions and emotions go off scale, especially at the top of St. Yure 1762 m! And also: be sure to visit the island of Brach (Bol - wonderful beaches and the sea is warmer there), in Split and Trogir.
The hotel is good, for a 3 stars generally wonderful. Pleasant and helpful staff, excellent food (breakfast and dinner were more than enough). The rooms are quite comfortable, the view from the balcony was beautiful - the mountains on the right, the sea on the left. The presence of the road next to the hotel did not interfere in any way, it did not spoil the view, and with the window closed, no noise was heard. Quite a normal pool, and if, again, we take into account what a wonderful view of the mountains opened up, so even more so.
In Makarska there are places to take a walk (parks, embankment, etc. ), there are a lot of different cafes, discos.
From excursions we chose a walk on a yacht. They sailed through the island of Brac, were in the towns of Pucishce and Omiš . We were satisfied - beautiful landscapes, interesting places, etc. ))) There are a lot of options for where to go and what to see in Croatia! ))
What is worth noting from the "cons" is the large number of people on the beaches. But we found less crowded places near the hotel, and if you walk for 15-20 minutes in the direction of the campsites (standing with your back to the hotel, go to the right along the embankment), then there will be an excellent uncrowded beach where you can rent umbrellas and sun loungers, and hide in tree shadows.
In general, we liked everything, especially the gorgeous nature of Croatia!
I still don't understand why this hotel has only 3 stars?
There were no complaints about the staff, the service is amazing, the food is generally a separate issue, I can only say that my eyes have never seen such a variety of yummy.
I hope we will return there : )
