The hotel room I stayed in was massive and gave me a nostalgic feel, like the pictures of Butlins in the 60s. However, it was not as presented in the booking photos; it was shabby, old, very basic, and lacked air conditioning on hot days.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were comfortable enough, with a balcony, but seemed smaller than expected and lacked storage space for suitcases. The location was absolutely wonderful, but not everything matched the photos online. The dining experience was okay, and the pet amenities available were a nice touch.

The hotel had a lounge with two fold-down settees, small TV with satellite reception, bathroom, a two-bed bedroom, and a large balcony with views of trees at the back of the hotel. While the rooms should have been a little more spacious and air-conditioned, they were very old-fashioned with dirty carpeting and filthy bed covers.

The hotel is a mixed bag - clean rooms with basic amenities, daily towel changes, but not as advertised. Service varies from incredibly helpful and kind to unfriendly and escorting guests elsewhere. Great location near the charming Dalmatian town, but some cleanliness issues and sun lounger battles. Dining experience ranges from affordable to hardly edible.
