Hotel Sveti Kriz

The hotel provides a diverse breakfast buffet, ideal beach location, clean and modern rooms, exceptional staff, spacious and comfortable rooms, and a variety of amenities. However, no disadvantages were mentioned in the reviews.

Just returned from 9 nights at this hotel. Let’s get the first thing out the way, if you speak English it sounds like Hotel Sweaty Chris, and we all know one of those, don’t we? So let’s ignore that as we’re all grown ups. I have to say some of the negative reviews on here make me laugh, have you ever heard of the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’? Therefore, if you book a standard room, guess what, you’re going to get something pretty basic and something that’s possibly not been upgraded for a while. The hotel is basically two buildings. The main hotel, which is the older building and a new block opposite which is newer and houses the premium rooms. I booked a premium room with sea view and guess what I got? A room in the new block at the front with a sea view! I booked just bed and breakfast as I never understand why you want all your meals in one place, each to their own I suppose! Breakfast is a standard buffet with cereals, cakes, croissants, cold meats etc plus a hot section but don’t go thinking you’ll be getting a full English. The only thing I really recognised were eggs, everything else was either, green, pink or red? , but guess what, you’re in Croatia, it’s going to be different, embrace it and try something new or have cake, cereal! Sea view from the restaurant is nice. The pool is always empty, purely because it’s in the shade for most of the day, great if you have little ones that you want to keep out of the sun. We spent our days at the beach which is just across the road. We hired a double bed everyday at 150kuna (approx £17 so a bit extravagant) but many people were just using towels on the beach. The beach is stones rather than sand so sea shoes are a wise purchase. Someone mentioned the close proximity to the airport and the noise which is very unfair. Yes you can see the airport from the beach, it’s directly opposite, but there’s a massive expanse of the Adriatic in between, plus it’s not Heathrow, there are some planes taking off/landing throughout the day but they do not affect your day unless you just like moaning. The hotel has a gym but I use the term loosely. It’s a room in the basement (which you reach via a Harry Potter under the stairs type door) which has a running machine and various other weight training machines, pretty basic and crowded if more than 2 people are in. The hotel has a beach bar/restaurant right on the beach (the clue is in the title) which does food (adequate) drinks, cocktails etc but is pretty basic. Other than that and one other smaller beach bar, there is nothing else around (and I mean nothing) so you need to get yourself to Trogir. Trogir is great for nightlife as it is full of restaurants, bars and shops and (unless you’ve hired a car) the best way to get there is by boat. There is a jetty on the beach where you can catch the ferry at 5 past the hour and the return trip from Trogir is at half past the hour (last boat is at 23:30). Cost 30 kuna per adult (£3.40) and takes about 20 mins.

Hotel was really nice,food delicious and excellent staff, beach is just a minute from hotel and the sea is so clear. We will deffinetly come again, but next time with our kids. We recommend it!!!! ❤️❤️
