"Bathroom is clean and new. The senior staff at breakfast was helpful. However one of the bed is not made properly. The bed sheet cover for that bed was old and not long enough to cover the duvet. Felt very odd. Hotel itself is a 10-15mins walk to promenade/ seaside."

"The Hotel In Excelsis is located just outside the town of Novalja, but we really liked it because the coast is a 5-minute walk away and there's plenty of parking. The rooms and pool area are first-class! The spa is incredibly enjoyable, and there are unlimited towels. The breakfast could be more varied, but it's adequate. Unfortunately, we had an insect problem; we had already swatted four mosquitoes and two moths, and then we found a trail of ants between the bed and the balcony door. After complaining at reception, we were able to change rooms at 1 a.m. The staff and service are very friendly."

"BOŠKINAC – Eldorado for Pretentious Peacocks The road to Boškinac already signaled trouble – asphalted, narrow like a vein, dangerously designed so you cannot pass another vehicle. A quad almost crashed into my car, like an aggressive specter from the hotel itself. Everything felt overhyped, fake, sterile. The hotel – the island’s pride, flaunting a Michelin star that shines more like a cheap neon sign in a roadside motel. Surrounded by olive trees that serve only as stage props. Behind them – emptiness. We reached the tavern. My mother, 81 years old, climbed the countless steps with dignity. At the top, five waiters stood together. One said: “There’s no place for you.” The others laughed and behaved like teenagers loitering in front of a kiosk with beer cans – giggling, nudging each other, completely unprofessional. This is Boškinac: – a hotel with no respect for the elderly, – a place where the Michelin star shines above staff who mock frailty, – an Eldorado for pretentious guests who believe they’re elite because they eat among olive trees, – a false stage set of luxury with not a shred of soul, – a restaurant where every “star” is actually a stain of shame. When I confronted them, the laughter continued – empty, cold, echoing like cracking plastic. Another waiter tried to “apologize,” but without sincerity, as if they were on a school trip rather than working in a luxury hotel. I called the manager, Ivana. Her voice was juvenile, frivolous, chirpy – not the voice of someone who understands responsibility. She offered me coffee and cake as compensation. I replied: “It’s not about cake. It’s about dignity.” Boškinac is, in fact, a nest of illusions: – They haven’t built a proper staff in twenty years, – They haven’t learned what hospitality even means, – They have no respect, no empathy, – They only have a label, a star, a façade. A disgrace to the island. A disgrace to Michelin. An Eldorado for those who enjoy being dazzled by décor but have no idea what it means to truly look someone in the eye – or what it means to be human."

"Super nice, modern hotel. Exceptional service. The staff bent over backwards to give us great service. This is a small hotel and the hotel manager, Adnan, made us feel like family. The hotel restaurant food is really good with great Croatian wines. Adnan also recommended some great restaurants and book them for us. I was playing a DJ gig at Zrce Beach so we wanted to stay somewhere nice and quiet."

"We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it. The property was lovely, clean, and well maintained, with beautiful pool that was a pleasure to relax in. The owner was absolutely amazing—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. She really made us feel welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to return. Only small issues - confirmation stated checkout 11am however we were asked to vacant at 10am - this wasn't a massive deal for us however confirmation bookings should be updated to reflect. We also asked for 2 single beds in March however was not advised that this was not possible until 2 days before arrival and after the cancellation period, again not an issue for us as only 1 night. Would definitely return to this area and hotel. Thanks for a wonderful stay, breakfast and lunch(pizza) were delicious and pity we couldn't have stayed longer."

"We are here for a week-long stay with our caravan, and not a single day goes by without problems. Every other day, there is a power outage lasting at least three hours; we have a pitch near the sanitary facilities, where foul-smelling wastewater has overflowed for the second time now. At reception, they just say "sorry." They didn't even respond to our complaint about the electricity. This facility ought to be shut down on hygiene grounds; no guest wants to walk through sewage."

"This hotel was completely renovated 2 years ago and has become a luxurious and modern hotel. It is also conveniently located by the sea. Because the season had not really started yet, we were the first and only guests. We were received very kindly by the receptionist. We had a room on the sea side with a balcony. The room was large and there was even a sofa bed. The bathroom was large, but we found out that there was no hot water. However, this was quickly resolved by the nice young man at reception. The breakfast room is large and a bit of a worry for the two of us. There was a small buffet and we could also order eggs. Fortunately, there were more guests at breakfast the next day. This time there was also a hot buffet. What disappointed us was that there was no regular tea, such as English breakfast or Earl Grey, but there were some strange flavors such as: hibiscus and rosehip. The bread was also old and was not replenished, which is a shame. But other than that we thought it was a great hotel."
