Extraordinary hotel with large "buzz" areas where you can hang out. We were give a room at the top floor with sea view (well worth the money) with a stunning overview. Very close to the sea which we enjoyed every day.
Huge variation in employees friendliness and attention to detail. The pool bar was definitely low on service, while the cleaning lady was super helpful and always smiling.
Breakfast was good, but evening buffet was not at the quality level you would expect. Hire someone with a bit more passion to lead the kitchen and the waiters - and we would give the hotel five stars!

This hotel in Makarska is fabulous! The food offered here in the hotel is excellent. Best pizza I’ve had during my stay. The beds are comfortable, location is great however my only disappointment would be the beach. Even though the hotel is on exactly on the beach, it does offer access to it and it was very overcrowded. Not a lot of space to hang out. The beach was beautiful but I wasn’t able to enjoy it much since it was overcrowded with other guests/tourists. It is too bad since everything was great about our stay. Pool was fantastic, service at the pool was great including the drinks.

This was the best hotel that we stayed at out of the four total on our one month long Euro trip!!! The best part of this place is that it isn’t a resort but sure does feel like it. My wife loved that the beach was literally the backyard from the junior sweet deluxe room. The theme of design overall got the best of me as it’s a little romantic, hipster and modern like made me feel different vibes. I’ll definitely stay here the next time I’m in Makarska!

Need to have designated area for smoking also for towel change, they should not charge in the hallways to have air conditioning

This place far exceeded all expectations! Beautiful, clean, modern, comfortable, efficient... everything is thought through to the smallest detail to make the stay as relaxing and pleasant as possible. I wish to give it extra stars and recommend it to everyone.
The staff is courteous, knowledgeable and always available to answer any question and assist with any need.
It's located right on a promenade with the direct path to the beach, 2 beautiful swimming pools, a poolbar, restaurant and every possible amenity one may need! Day and night entertainment is available but yet its always peaceful, pleasant, never too loud. My husband and I absolutely loved everything they had to offer - lounging at the pool or swimming in a sea first thing in a morning.
Now the food is a Special treat here - freshly prepared abundant variety of choices for any taste, incl gluten free dietary needs. Updated menu every day and Always delicious. Flexible spending option for meal plan is available and is easy to use with an user-friendly app and a silicone bracelet that works as a roomkey and a payment scan - easy to wear all day even when swimming- never worry about loosing a key!
Every tourist activity or a tour pick up spot is close by and walking distance - small grocery store 5 min away, bus terminal 15 min away
Whatever one may need - they got it. Special kudos to the amazing staff crew!
Our stay in Dalmacija made me fall in love with Croatia, its hospitality and lovely, kind Croatian People

The hotel was really clean and the pool area was great. Really comfortable sunbeds. However, people did try and 'reserve' a sunbed super early in the morning, But the hotel policy did not allow that so there were measures in place to try and prevent this and allow everyone to get a sun bed.
The hotel is perfectly positioned right next to the beach. The beaches are quite small, but the sea is amazing and the local islands are well worth a visit.
The a la carte menu in the hotel was good but limited. I wasn't that impressed with the evening buffet menu so we only ate there once. But the flexi half board meant that we could then use the allowance for the a la carte lunch or drinks so it worked very well. And there are lots of lovely alternatives for food in the local area or in the town a short walk away.
We loved the hotel, but we chose the smaller of the rooms which we did regret as the rooms although nicely decorated are very small and there is very limited storage and the bathroom is very small.
But all in all we have a great time and would recommend.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Everything was great! The pool area is big and spacey. The gaming lounge was cool. The restaurant was big, with both seats inside and outside.
Worth the money - will definitely come back 😊

Great location, We rented corner room which had an amazing view to the sea.
Breakfast is top notch with eggs/bacon, scramble eggs end omelettes etc. ... and even with oyster/rosé. The free juices are however really only poor limonades (Orange/Apple/Black Currant) with artificial flavours, like in most Valamar hotels. Real orange costs 4 Eur per glass !!
Coffee is only 5 gram taps - which is an environmental issue and tastes of nothing.
Negativ with hotel is that probably due to tech, e.g. order online, you have very little contacts with the servants and when you have there is seldom a smile.
Also in our room most tech did not work, either because not connected, not updated or with empty batteries, etc.
Only very few non-croatian flow-tv channels, although most guests seem to be international ?
OBS - from pool to beach is a lot of stairs from 2. level to basement floor where the beach is, so not good for elder or handicapped.
5.0
Lovely hotel, modern with a Scandi vibe. Smells like a spa and has water with cucumber, lime or lemon dotted around to help yourself to.
Staff are friendly, cocktails nice.
Pools are clean and have floaties for people to use. Sunbeds very comfortable.
Breakfast really good, lots to choose from. Fresh warm croissants, fruit, yogurt, cereal, omelettes made to order and cooked options. Also have a juicing station with an array of fresh vegetables and juices to choose from.
Flexi half board works well. Given a wristband which also acts as room key. Loaded at the beginning of the week with 350 euros (25 euros per day for 7days for 2 people). Any time you have food or drink, your wristband is scanned to pay for it.
As an example, large beer is about €5, cocktail €7.80 pizzas range from €9-€14, most main meals are around €15.
Has own beach but you have to pay for the sunbeds on beach.

Very nice hotel. The interior was modern and stylish. We had "cherry on the top" room, this was amazing, big and with excellent view. Especially for familyroom this was a rally Nice room. The hotel alsonhad a gaming room with pool, pingpong and playstations, our teenager like this alot.
The pool area was clean and there where a lot of sumbeds
The hotel employees was polite and helpful.
Restaurant was ok, breakfast was wonderful and had lots of different options. Lunch and dinner menu was good, but for dinner i suggestone of the many resturants i the area.
I really loved the way this hotel implements half-pension. You get a certain amount of money on a bracelet, and you can ise this on what you like during your stay. If you want lunch every day or just cocktails every evening you can spend the money the way you like. All at once or little every day.

We stayed at Dalmacija [Placeshotel] in Makarska in September 2022 and absolutely loved it! The hotel has a very welcoming and positive vibe, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the location is perfect! We will definitely return and highly recommend it!

Like the new concept, look and feel that they have introduced this year. You have all the things you need very close. The restaurant and pool bar had great service. The concept with "money" loaded on the wrist tag that you used for food and drinks worked great.
5.0
This was an excellent vacation stay. Even if the Hotel is rated *** on some sites, the sea view combined with the mountain view and modern planning is higher, more of a 5*-feeling on a 4* budget. Included in the price (for our stay) is the brilliant 25€ voucher for drinks/food/snacks during the day. Still, there are a few things I really thought made a less good impression.
1. Smoking is allowed in the bars and restaurants during all day.
2. The restaurants doesn't have table serving so you order and pay at the bar and then queue for picking up your food when the buzzer tells it's ready. Not bad, but not what you expect from a hotel that delivers in all other categories.
3. Service. The staff is very friendly, but not always the most highly trained. I bought a drink and accidently spilled in once back at my table. I asked if I could get a new or if I had to pay.I had to pay for it myself. This is ok, I cannot complain. But the policy would have been more generous in many other hotels.
We loved the hotel and hope to return again.

I have never been at a hotel that I’ve had such a strong desire to return to. I am planning on booking two weeks next year as soon as I get home and look at my schedule. Nothing but positive things to say about this hotel! It blew my mind

I love the flexi-half board concept. This is a very modern hotel that thinks out of the box. The services was nice as it seemed that a lot was possible, no was definitely not the first option.

Hotel caters more to a young crowd. loud music by the pool. Pool is very nice, although while we were there it was drained for 3 days. Due to leak or something faulty. Breakfast buffet was nice. Unless you upgrade for “cherry on top “ rooms, note they are small and like a college dorm. Great location. Beds were comfy. AC never seemed to get cool enough in our room. Sounds like a lot of complaints / it was a nice enough place. with families would be great !! We would stay again

We spent 4 nights at Dalmacija hotel in June 2022. We really enjoyed our stay. The food was great and pool area is amazing. We also really liked the view from our room. Location is perfect - close to the beach, promenade and restaurants/shops.

The location of the hotel was excellent with a good pool. But the cooked breakfast options were bad (under-cooked fatty bacon, rubbery fried eggs, dried-up pasta,etc). The food at dinner was poor the first week but it improved during the second week.We expected better having read such good reviews. The bathrooms were shocking but we have been told that there will be some refurbishment work done this winter.

Weve just come back from 10 amazing days at this hotel which was beautiful in a prime location, right on the sea front of Makarska close to everything. The lovely pool was a life saver in the scorching hot weather.

Nice hotel close to the beach. Good breakfast. Staff very nice

Our room was on the 5th floor with a balcony and a lovely sea view. It was both comfortable and very clean.The reception staff were very helpful and the buffet breakfast was extensive.The hotel did have organised activities but we didnt try anything so cannot comment.In terms of location, the hotel was close to a selection of restaurants, bars and of course the sea.A negative would be that the hotel photograph is misleading as the pool appears quite large but isnt and sun loungers etc seemed to be in short supply.
4.0
We had a great stay. The staff are friendly and helpful - the breakfast buffet has a variety of food. We were out most of the time but there are guest activities for those who like that sort of thing. Only two negatives - terrible wifi connection and this needs to be fixed and the coffee is awful

Loved it in June but will be extremely crowded in July/august. Good choice of breakfast and nice pool. Car park not big enough for hotel.

The people at reception were very friendly and efficient. The elevators were small and extremely slow. (get a room at the top floors, otherwise it will take a while to get downstairs because by the time it gets to the lower floors. it is already full) The room keys are old fashioned on a large holder. If your better half is still sleeping you have to either lock her/him into the room or leave the door open. When we went downstairs to the lounge right by the bar, two waiters were switching channels on the tv. They walked away without asking if I want anything from the bar.
