"Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel. I would like to share an honest and transparent review of my experience, as I believe future guests should be aware of several important issues before booking. Our stay began yesterday, and upon arrival we were immediately asked to pay the full amount for our entire six-night stay upfront. Based on the booking conditions and the information I had seen, I understood that payment could be settled at the end of the stay or that only the first night might be charged in advance. Had I known what our actual experience at the hotel would be like, I would certainly not have committed to such a long stay. After just one day, I realized that the hotel was not at all what I had expected and asked whether we could shorten our stay and receive a refund for the remaining unused nights so that we could move to another hotel. The manager refused to refund the money. This was, for me, the most disappointing part of the entire experience. I fully understand that hotels have cancellation policies, but considering the problems we encountered immediately after arrival, I had hoped the management would show at least some flexibility and understanding. To begin with, we were checked into a room where the balcony door was broken and could not be properly closed or locked. When we reported the problem, we were told that a technician would only be able to repair it the following day and that we should not worry because “nothing would be stolen.” This response was completely unacceptable to us, especially since the room faced an area accessible from the road and parking area. Leaving a balcony door that cannot be secured is, first and foremost, a safety concern. Only after we insisted were we moved to another room nearby. While we appreciate that another room was eventually provided, changing rooms immediately after a long journey meant unpacking, repacking and moving our belongings again — additional stress and lost vacation time that should not be expected from a hotel at this price level. On the same day, we also requested an iron. We were told that apparently there was only one iron available for the entire hotel. We waited throughout the day and still did not receive it. The following morning, after asking again, it was still unavailable. Only after I personally asked the manager to resolve the situation did we finally receive an iron — almost 24 hours after our initial request. The room itself is also not designed particularly well for a comfortable seaside stay. There is no practical place to hang and dry wet swimsuits or beachwear. For a hotel located directly by the sea, I find this very surprising. Guests naturally return from the beach with wet clothes, yet there is no drying rack, line or other designated area. Are guests expected to dry their swimsuits on the bed or sofa? The bathroom also lacks basic practical storage. There are no convenient shelves in the shower area for shampoo, shower gel or other toile"

"Fabulous village of Brela and its landmark the apartment hosted by great mr Ivo Kovacic. Good value of money: air condition in every quiet and private bedrooms, just like new and nice fixed bathrooms, great balcony with barbegue place and 2 other terraces"

" The Pros of this hotel: The staff are lovley and on the whole very helpful. It is on The Beach, which has amazingly clear water, it is slightly shingly and sun beds and umberells are quite expensive. You can purchase sponge mattresses for 12-16 euros very handy. The rooms are clean and towels are changed almost daily if you want them. The food is of good quality and varied, but sometimes cold a Microwave or two would allow a person to re- heat their food if required, waiters pleasent and tables are cleared quickly. Animation team are great but as most activities take place in the sister hotel you have to make enquiries as to times and locations, when you can find them.You can drink the tap water without any problems a bonus. The Hotel setting is in amongst Pine trees and is beautiful and views from the balcony the same. Cons: The landings are very old fashioned in design and resemble a prison. Their are several blocks and for the first two days we got lost trying to locate our room but there are plenty of lifts. The dining room is the same hard wooden chairs and very crowded and noisy. No tea or coffee machines are available with the evening meal and if you request some water you must puchase bottled which, as with all the drinks is costly. There are 65 steps to the beach and by the time you reach the final flight on a hot day you are knackered and need to sit down. All in all you get what you pay for."

"Super"

"Great location, good equipments, very nice view from the restaurant and pool, good service, good breakfast, staff is nice. The hotel is a bit overpriced for the size, comfort and view of the room. Drinks and meals are also expensive. Prices are unreasonably high all around the city actually."

"I booked this hotel by chance, and it was amazing! Breakfast and dinner were included, and the dinner was fantastic! It's the best hotel I've stayed at abroad. The beach next to the hotel is also great for watching the sunset!"

"Beautiful stone house couple of steps from the beach. Rooftop terrace with amazing view. Nice to seat, drink something and enjoying the seaview. Apartment is modern, very clean and with everything you need to feel comfortable. We will come back for sure!"
