Hotel Biokovo
"Emplacement très bien à part le stationnement aucun stationnement il faut aller à un autre hôtel"
Aparthotel Miramare
"It’s a slightly older hotel that has been upgraded. The beds were great, linens clean, restaurant more than adequate for breakfast & great location! Everything we needed was accessible to the property. Drawbacks - the parking is so tight all you see are scrape marks on the walls! It took several attempts to park & I drove busses for a living at one point. Top of my class for my CDL. Parking was one of my best attributes, even in tight spaces or backing into it! Nice staff & friendly atmosphere. Would consider staying there again."
Hotel Osejava
"This hotel was great staff were friendly and knew. Hotel is in a great spot minutes to beach and shops. On site reservations was fantastic. Highly recommend. On site parking"
