Hotels near Abbey of the Holy Cross, Zivogosce

Went with my partner. No children. So liked the fact that there was not many facilities there for them so it does not attract and hope it never does those sorts of loud people with noisy screaming kids, that belong at a rough and ready resort in Spain, there was mainly the older generation who want a peaceful and relaxing stay, with no noise, the lifts were small but that's so you couldn't take up your wet inflatables in the lift, we had no balcony, the double room was not the biggest or bathroom, I been in but you don't go on holiday to stay in a hotel room all day. Food was excellent, fresh, every where was spotless, staff were superb, I know we didn't go in peak season but every thing in peak season is going to be under pressure and over crowded and stretched so what do people who go at that time of year expect. People who don't have children should not put up with hearing them screaming. And out of control and parents do nothing theses days to discipline them. And if the hotel does not offer what their kids want then they should enquire before they book. If the hotel is not kid friendly and that is what you want, don't moan that this hotel is not because it is not that sort of place. The beach is on the door step, a pebble beach, to note. I knew that before booking. Friendly place and people and safe. And not many little babies, few school age children. Stayed at the resort, didn't do any trips, just relaxed by the pool and on the beach. Weather hot for the whole two weeks, so was very lucky which always helps, needed some sun, coming from England. First holiday I had since COVID. So deserved it. Went 25 sept for two weeks. Loved it and most certainly be back. Peace and quiet.

We stayed at this hotel two weeks in August 2023 in one bedroom apartment with the front view and balcony. It was gorgeous, clean, airy, bright with a beautiful view of the Adriatic see. We have been in many different high-end hotels throughout the world, Caribbean, Hawaii, US coast, Canada, Europe, but this level of hospitality, as in Tamaris, we have not seen anywhere. The restaurant ambient is welcoming, breakfast amazing, and dinners’ romantic and delicious. Servers very professional and always there, and only when you need them. Hotel's reception personnel is another level, cannot say words good enough. Special complements to Nedita and Silva. Both were so resourceful. Nedita was such a big help whatever we needed; and Silva, just pick a language and she would respond, amazing. Every time at the reception desk we felt welcomed and never rushed out. We even met the owner of the hotel that is also a (great) chef in the restaurant. He was not short of greeting the guests and engage in the conversation whenever he happened to be at the reception area. Such a pleasant stay and such and extraordinary boutique hotel. I full heartedly recommend it.

This hotel is a hidden gem in the beautiful port town of Makarska. This was our first visit to Croatia and this hotel but we will definatley return. The Hotel is exactly as decribed but so much more beautiful than the photos convey. Its nestled in the corner of the port just accross from the main street of restraunts and bars. The staff were welcoming and so helpful in so many ways including advice about trips and excursions. The rooms are spacious and the sea views are spectacular definatley worth it. We had chosen B&B the breakfast was plentiful with an excellent variety, something for everyone. All fresh and constantly replaced. We chose to eat in the restaurant for lunch and dinner a number of times. The restaurant is located at the front of the hotel with the view of the port, they have created privacy but with the beauty of the views. The food was of excellent standard hence us choosing to eat here despite Makarska having a number of beautiful restaurants to choose from. I wish to highlight we never once heard any noise at all from the nightclub. We heard passers by on the odd occasion but nothing disruptive. The party boat does occasionally have loud noise but it is only when docking, this would not in anyway spoil anyones holiday in my opinion and would like to allay any concerns anyone looking at this hotel may have becuase of other reviews. Everyone we spoke to at the hotel all enjoyed their stay and complimented the hotel. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Makarska is a beautiful place and a 5* hotel here must help visitors*in enjoy your holiday time widely. For us this hotel was - a place of contradictions. Many good ideas with bad enforcement. Two receptionists have received us without particular joy. One has always interrupted the other when telling the house rules and has repeated ”have you booked 300EUR deposit?” several times. We have never seen a promised gift to my child from the reception. Unprofessional! The culinary offer was very weak and unvariable. Many brat food and ”artificial” desserts. No children menu and kids bed in the family hotel! The price concert is inconsistent - cola (0.5l) 7 EUR etc. We have no here ”right” animation for children. The hotel has an animation club with a daily shifting program. In reality it was only classic baby care, where nothing was done by the mentioned program. Child disco in the evening is rather thought for larger children. We recommend the indoor pool of the hotel. Here was predominantly quiet and cozy. A absolute no-go was the children pool. Here was the water always very cold!!!. The pool area is covered by the sun, so the water warms very slowly. But! We would like to thank the servant Maria K. very heartily for her first-class service. She was not only competent for breakfast/avontaining, We wish Maria K. all the good and continue to succeed for her further career at Aminess Hotel!
