Popular Makarska 4-star Hotels

Been back a week so time to review Valamar Meteor Hotel. We arrived on Saturday 19/10 at @12pm. Politely informed that our room wasn't ready (2661) & wouldn't be until 2pm. No problem - dumped the cases in their secure room and out onto the terrace for a drink. As we sat down the sun came out and all looked good. Met a friendly cat as well. Stunning back drop with the Biokovo mountains directly behind and cloud rolling off them. Had a quick wander around the hotel to get our bearings. All clean & well maintained. The outdoor pool is an infinity pool overlooking the seafront and promenade, which is beautiful. Theres a brilliant looking kids pool as well, with slides etc. Quick walk outside restaurants to the left & right of the exit & a few souvenir shops etc. Beach looked great - crystal clear water & literally 20m from the hotel exit. Room was ready as promised just after 2pm. Looked modern & spotlessly clean. A bit small but we did have a balcony with a partial sea/mountain view. Beds OK. Pillows adequate. One of the pillows was so soft you just sank through it. TV with a few English news channels. Wi-fI very good. Easy downloads to Netflix. Cleaned & towels changed frequently. All the staff we encountered were polite & efficient. Booked a couple of trips with the Concierge lady who was extremely helpful. Highly recommend the boat trip on Voga to Hvar & Brac (with lunch & vino). Food-wise you won't go hungry. We always found something to tempt us. Breakfast as is the norm - luke-warm at best. Evening meal (we were half board) decent. Bar prices a bit high (like most hotels) - think it was @ 5.30 euros for a beer. Places outside the cheapest we saw @ 2 Euros 500ml. Supermarkets nearby though & 6 pack of Karlovacko beer was less than £1 a can. Short walk into Makarska, which is stunning. Harbour area and old town are lovely. Bus depot is at the top of the town on the main road. Easy to use but frequency & timetable not great. We went to Omis along the coast. OK getting out but waited well over an hour for a return. Overall we loved the hotel and the area and would definitely return and recommend.

Super location for the beach, restaurants & central to town. We had 2 large rooms with a balcony, very comfortable beds, big bathroom with bath & shower, nice toiletries. Our sons’ room looked out over Biokovo, good air con temperature, however with ours being sea view we had full sun, too hot to sit out on the balcony & the room never fell below 27c - we did tell reception but they just advised to keep curtains closed. Great selection of breakfast items - last few days both hot drinks machines were broken but the staff had coffee & small jugs of hot water, so not a major problem - plenty of juices/water on offer. Pool opens at 8am but people still waiting to put towels down from 7am when breakfasting - quite comical! With being so close to the sea, we found that people were putting towels etc on pool loungers then nipping down to the sea - not fair for others wanting to use the outdoor pool - we went to the indoor pool which was often deserted & by 4pm we were sometimes lucky to get 2 loungers outside - outdoor pool closes at 6pm & the staff were keen to stack the loungers by 6.30pm. Indoor pool open til 8pm - you have to pay extra for the sauna. Kettle in room but the coffee/tea sachets were never replenished - get them at breakfast - no milk or coffee whitener - the staff wanted to charge us €1.50 for half a cup of milk so we could make a drink in the room. Check your mini bar & tell reception if all items are not there on arrival - we took photos, as they tried to charge us at check out. You can’t keep your own things in the room fridge so we just made sure we didn’t have anything in when they cleaned the room (only needed towels changing once) as there were 6 towels.

Beautiful hotel and we had a fantastic huge room with balcony looking out onto the sea at the side of the hotel. Room was immaculate and beautifully decorated in neutral colours with comfy chairs to lounge in plenty of wardrobe space and free safe. Bathroom had bath, rainfall shower and hand held shower. The bath quite high so for elderly or disabled difficult to access but they did have hand grips. An internal bath mat to avoid slipping would be a good extra to add. Good hairdryer in bathroom too. The hotel is maintained immaculately and is a very beautiful hotel inside and outside. Staff were very friendly and smiling. Unfortunately the food and service at dinner let it down. First night at dinner my main course was presented to me whilst still eating my starter and I am not a slow eater. Second night asked for wine list was told you don't need that just have the house wine!! The food was actually quite tasty. We were the only diners in the resturaunt for quite a few nights then we went out for a couple of meals. On return to eating at hotel the resturaunt was full each night but they had started to provide a buffet type meal, help yourself basically. Salad tipped into a bowl with tomatoes sliced over it not my idea of a great dining experience , lasagne and chicken that looked dried out and not very tempting a plate of dry cakes for dessert no cream custard or ice cream to help it go down a plateful of pancakes all stuck together that you had to pull apart with either Nutella or fresh fruit to accompany. Not my idea of a resturaunt meal. Sat at table for at least 15 mins had to ask for a drink as the waiter passed us knowing we had been there for quite a while. I don't think they had enough staff to cope to be honest and sadly for these reasons I would not return.

Our stay in Makarska was great, the town has plenty going on, in the evening there are lots of restaurants to chose from, catering for all tastes and budgets. There was a live band in the square by the church each night and good buzz around the harbour. If you want to escape the crowds, take a short drive axi to the next resort Tucepi, where life is a lot quieter and more laid back. We had a really nice stay at Hotel Miramare, the room was really spacious. Our’s had a Park View which was really nice, listening to the Cicadas which I always find relaxing. The patio and outdoor pool are really nice although sun loungers were quickly taken up in the morning. Sitting having breakfast or just chilling on the loungers, with the harbour as a backdrop is stunning. The next part needs chronicling, but please note it didn’t overshadow the positives and ruin our stay. Unfortunately the start to our stay didn’t go so smooth, hence the low score. When we arrived, the room had the shutters closed and air conditioning on low. The rooms are simply furnished, which is fine, but it felt dark and musty. When I lay on the bed and looked up there was a dirty sock over the fire alarm, the same in the lounge. I can only presume the last guest smoked in the room. I reported it to reception and the poor receptionist was horrified and they rectified it immediately and apologised. Once we opened the windows to air the room, it changed the atmosphere and feeling, shame they didn’t lift the shutters before we arrived or look up when preparing. It is supposed to be 4 star after all. The next night at about 11:30, a tattooed drunk bloke opened the door with a key card and proceeded to walk in, when I shouted “Hello”, he quickly turned around and left…. This obviously left us a bit shaken. I called reception and they said they knew about it, he’d lost his keycard and gave them the wrong number, you’d think they would cross check the name before issuing a replacement card!!!He could have been anyone. The rest of our stay in the hotel was trouble free. As I say, overall we had a lovely stay and would probably stay again if we returned to Makarska. The location is perfect and having parking under the hotel is a real benefit, also its a very short walk to the beach. So you can pop round for a quick dip if you fancy.
