Valamar Meteor Hotel

Really good choice！

The Valamar Meteor hotel was in a great location right by the beach and near the old town. The view was nice and the room was clean. Breakfast is also great !! The sunset is beautiful !!

Excellent service within the Valamar Meteor hotel, rich and diverse playroom for all ages, special praise for the Maro club staff, especially Zvona & Elena!The animators are professional and helpful. Both girls are delighted, this is our 5th visit and we will come again! Many thanks to Mrs. Maja, Jelena & Mr. Ivankovic! greetings and stay the best!

We recently stayed at the Valamar in Makarska, about an hour and a half drive from Split airport. The journey itself was a treat, with stunning views of the mountains on one side and the sparkling Adriatic Sea on the other – a beautiful start to our holiday. We visited in the off-season, so everything was quiet and peaceful – perfect for a family of six looking to unwind. We opted for the half-board package, which included breakfast and dinner. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, including the amenities, which were well maintained. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but very clean and came with a gorgeous balcony view that more than made up for the size. While the outdoor pool wasn’t open due to the season, the indoor heated pool was massive and lovely – a big hit with the kids! The sauna was a nice touch too, and everything was kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach – though it's pebbly, the water is crystal clear and stunning to look at. Being so close to the mountains adds to the charm, with breathtaking scenery all around. There's a long promenade for walks, and although many places were closed due to the time of year, the 5-minute walk to the marina revealed some beautiful spots and a few great restaurants. Food-wise, breakfast had plenty of options for all tastes, and dinner was freshly prepared each day with a good variety. Our kids enjoyed every meal. However, one downside was that soft drinks weren’t included with dinner despite the half-board plan. The available machine drinks were overly sweet and not well diluted – including at least basic soft drinks would have been appreciated. That said, the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay. A local supermarket was just a stone’s throw away, which made picking up essentials super convenient. One thing to note is that eating out in restaurants was surprisingly pricey – for example, we paid €18 for a simple spaghetti pomodoro. A round trip private taxi to Split cost us nearly €300 for all six of us, which felt steep. We also visited the charming town of Omis, with its gorgeous views and scenic fortress hike, but even the local bus ride added up quickly at €7 per person each way. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Valamar hotel in Makarska to friends and family. If you visit during the main season, I imagine the town comes alive with even more to offer – and I’d happily return to experience it.

What a fantastic hotel. Perfect for a relaxing break. The hotel is immaculate, from the pool, toiets, restaurant etc. Excellent location, so close to beach, restaurants, cafes, shops etc. Staff are all lovely, friendly and helpful with excellent English. Steffan and Marko at the poolside snack bar are fantastic hosts, very friendly, great sense of humour, helpful and so obliging, thank you to you both for a great holiday. Good choice of food available at the hotel for breakfast and evening meals, everything from sads, cereals, cooked breakfasts, meats, cheeses, breads, eggs etc etc. Varied choice of excursions available from the hotel and booked through Maja, who is very Informative and bubbly with a fun personality. We went to Dubrovnik on a day trip and what a beautiful day out (take your walking shoes), we also took the tuktuk trip up to the skywalk on the mountains, Dominique and his team are amazing. We would highly recommend this hotel for kids and adults alike. 10/10 Thank you for a wonderful stay.

What a lovely family hotel - super clean and friendly and focused on the experience of the child . The Mario kids club is so well equipped and children love their time there. Thank you very much to the wonderful Maro team! Delicious food too each breakfast and dinner time.
