This hotel definitely has potential, but there are some drawbacks. The location is stunning, with great views and easy access to the beach and Jelsa town. However, the service and dining left much to be desired. If you're on a budget, it’s a decent option, but managing expectations is key as it’s quite basic inside.

The accommodation was clean, but quite basic. Our room had good beds and included an extra bed for the kids, making it family-friendly.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the location was stunning, and I enjoyed the beautiful views. However, the room was outdated and not well-kept, which was quite disappointing. The service was decent, though not exceptional, and I appreciated having meals included, even if the food wasn’t fantastic. If you're on a tight budget, this might be a decent option, but don't expect luxury.

Rooms

Our vacation at this resort was simply amazing! The animation team, especially Andrea and Matea, truly made our children's experience unforgettable. The hotel offered excellent value with clean rooms and friendly staff. While the food variety was impressive, it's worth noting that there could be room for improvement. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to a stunning beach, making it a perfect family getaway.

Our stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The accommodation was decent, particularly in terms of cleanliness, but the dining was a challenge, especially for picky eaters like me. The children's mini club staff made a lasting impression, showing great enthusiasm for entertaining kids. Unfortunately, the overall experience was marred by some outdated features and limited options, making it less appealing for a return visit.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. The beautiful location near the sea was a highlight, and the kids loved the activities, especially the mini disco. However, the rooms desperately need renovations, and the lack of air conditioning made our stay uncomfortable during the hot summer days.

Rooms

The rooms were in rough shape; while they were cleaned daily, they felt old and needed urgent renovation. There was no air conditioning, making the heat unbearable at times.
Service

The animation team did a fantastic job keeping the kids entertained, especially Danijel. However, the general attitude of the staff at the restaurant left much to be desired.
Location
9.0
The location is absolutely stunning, right by the beach and with gorgeous views. Being on a hillside adds to its charm, but it can be a bit steep to get around.
Dining
5.0
While the added breakfast charge was a little disappointing, the meal itself could be improved significantly, particularly the coffee which was instant.
Facilities
6.0
The resort had great activities for families, but some facilities, like the tennis court, seemed neglected and were even converted into a parking area.
