The Solaris complex ("Millenium Club", "Mirage", "Meridien", "Holiday Beach", "Excelsior" - former "Ivan", "Niko", "Yure", ... ) is located near Sibenik on the seashore. If you drive from Split (from the airport, for example), then to the left of the highway there is a large shield of them, but you can’t go to the left here, and a little further away there is an inconspicuous sign in the dark to the right (in Croatia there are generally such non-standard interchanges), at first we spun for a long time until we found it.
There are a number of hotels in the complex, of which three were offered to us in Moscow, a spa center and a number of auxiliary facilities. We stopped there, because. it was promised air conditioning. In fact, he turned out to be weak and in the midst of the heat, probably did not save. We were in September, during the day the temperature was not higher than 27, and then at night it was stuffy.
Food: breakfast-dinner - buffet. Breakfast - 7 - 9 am, dinner - 7 - 9.30 pm. The menu is decent, nothing fancy. The only thing - once in two weeks we were given fried squid. Tomatoes are delicious. Drinks are not provided for dinner, only for an additional fee. Clean napkins and the whole set of spices are only available if you come to the beginning. Then you have to drag sugar and salt from neighboring tables, and even paper napkins run out.
Entertainment: September is not quite the season, so it was quieter. Probably more fun in the summer. But on the weekend in the evenings until 11.30 a group performed in the bar, and since. the balcony in the room is open - it seemed that she was located right on the balcony. Not always good.
Beach: concrete slab, on the turn - large-pebble, small, it is inconvenient to enter, it is more convenient from the slab along the ladder. They didn’t see sea urchins, they probably sailed away to warmer climes. Plastic sun loungers are all over the beach - take it and drag it wherever you want, for free. The hotel has a swimming pool with sea water. Pretty small. The sea is perfectly clean, fish swim, small crabs and hermit crabs are on the stove. Elderly, mostly German women enthusiastically sunbathe topless.
In the room: a bed (we had one large one), an armchair, two bedside tables, a desk, a chair, a TV with several Croatian, German (including MTV) and one Italian channels, a built-in wardrobe in the corridor. In the bathroom there is a shower (according to the European three stars there should be a bath), a set of towels, they are changed quite regularly. Plumbing is located somehow inconveniently. On the balcony - a plastic table and chairs, a drying rope. The view opened on some neighboring buildings, well, we didn’t look there.
In the hotel: Internet without Cyrillic (in the neighboring hotels of the complex too), the speed is so-so. Souvenir shop - the choice is rather poor. Small clothing boutique. At the reception, the people are nice, they speak Croatian, English, German, Italian (they explained themselves to the maid in Croatian and on their fingers), they even wrote us an extract for Venice, which they had never encountered before (although they wrote it by hand and the captain didn’t want to this piece of paper to let us in). If you ask, they give you a dry ration dinner (lunch-box) with you if you travel far and will not return for dinner.
