First and foremost one has to say how polite, helpful and charming the staff are at this hotel. It is only a pity the rest is not as good. Travelling with a friend we drew lots as to who would take which room, 1st or 3rd floor, with a view for both facing a solid rock and the hotel garage (for which, if you have a car, you are expected to pay 25 Euros a day!) not even in France do they charge that. The 3rd floor bedroom was done up like a nightclub, black and gold. The 1st floor one was at least white with glittery mosaic walls in the bathroom. Kitch in both cases. The size of the rooms was good as was the balcony if you were happy to stare at the netted rock face of the mountain! The 2 enormous sliding wardrobe doors were the most irritating feature of the rooms. Each time you wanted to use the bathroom you had to slide one of these doors to one side and when you wanted anything from the side where your drawers were or the safe, you had to slide them the other way. Muscles required. I object to having musak filtering from a speaker in the ceiling above the bed. I mentioned this at reception who seemed surprised as they didn't seem to be aware of this! A kettle was provided with sachets of indifferent tea (no English Breakfast tea - I take my own luckily) and coffee was in ***** form as you would get in a cheap motel or lesser hotel. Not what you would expect from what calls itself 5*s. There was no milk ever given, so I took my fresh milk from the breakfast/dining room. A bottle of water was provided at the start of your stay and that was it. You were expected to buy your own thereafter. Having stayed in a REAL 5* for 4 nights in Split, 2 water bottles were given daily in your room. The continental breakfast let's call it that, was disappointing. Dried up cheese and ham sitting in the fridge, but if you chose the cooked option, this at least was ok. The best part of the hotel was the pool, but not the somewhat ridiculous and not very comfortable loungers. We had been led to believe it was an Adults Only hotel but that was not the case as it turned out as there were children, well behaved thank goodness. This is a hotel with pretensions and not to everyone's taste sadly, but Omis is a delightful town with some very nice places to eat round and about and well worth visiting but pick somewhere else to stay.
