Mediteran Maradiso Hotel by Aminess

The staff were very kind and professional, and the food was tasty with plenty of variety. The hotel is in a great location, with a good beach and a five-star sea view from the balcony. The only thing missing on the beach is a trash can. Parking is free on the streets around the hotel. The “free” wine at dinner is very poor quality, so have a beer instead ;-) The old or closed doors between rooms on the fifth floor provide little or no sound insulation.

Breakfast was amazing, with lots of food to choose from and plenty of seating. The restaurant views were beautiful, and the staff were amazing and kind. The outdoor pool was great, though the indoor one wasn’t as much. We were a family of five, but got two separate rooms next to each other on the side that hasn’t been renovated yet. The rooms were okay, but felt like stepping back in time. Parking was a nightmare and very limited, though the location makes up for it.

We spent five nights here at the end of August with our two-year-old. The hotel is nice, and the breakfast was amazing, much better than you’d expect from a three-star place. Both pools, indoor and outdoor, were very nice. The general manager was helpful after we complained about parking and compensated us for the inconvenience. I’d picked this hotel because parking mattered with a small child and all our luggage, but when we arrived, the receptionist said there were no spaces and told us to park on the street. In Croatia at the beach in high season, that was nearly impossible. We lost an entire afternoon trying to find somewhere to leave the car. It seems better suited to couples or families with children over four. Getting around with a stroller was hard. There’s beach access in front of the hotel, but it suits adults more than small children, and the sandy beach is quite a long walk away. A nice hotel, just not with a two-year-old.

We were treated like VIPs, and they took care of all our wishes. The staff were amazing, the location was great, and breakfast was delicious. Everything went perfectly from booking through arrival. We’ll be back. Thanks so much! Best regards, Christoph Berti
