Initially, we arrived at the Jakov3 * hotel, it’s a complete well....The room is the size of a 3x3 kennel, WITHOUT A BALCONY, in 35 degree heat, we didn’t fit our luggage, we had to hand it over to the reception, breakfasts are nothing, the audience is mostly French forever dissatisfied and dismissive. The most shock was when we saw the sea..... it was not there at all, there was a bay, and there was a feeling that we were on a small ice river with boulders !!! ! I wanted to pick up our luggage and fly home. In the morning we skipped running to a meeting with our guide from the Biblio Globus (by the way, they said that this is a good hotel). The guide turned out to be the smallest woman, Olga, and she helped us successfully move out of the quake we got into, for 150 €. , we arrived at the Ivan hotel. Compared to what it was, the Ivan hotel and its territory and the presence of the sea, it seemed to us a paradise. Everything is good there !!! ! The main thing is the air, because it is on the outskirts of civilization, 6 km from the city of Sibennik. We were with two children (5 years old). But I'm unlikely to go there again.

Rest in the hotel Ivan left mixed feelings. On the one hand, a nice beach, a beautiful park. On the other hand, boring rest, rest for pensioners. Our attitude is not very good. And what is the attitude towards (Germans, Poles, etc. ) they just dance in front of them. In general, they arrived for two days trying to clean the sink and shower, the view from the window to the roof.

There are few rooms with a good view, I don't know how they managed to get 4 stars, two with a stretch of three. Boredom is wild.

The hotel is good. Solid 3 stars. The menu for breakfast and dinner is varied. Yes, in the evening drinks are paid. The price of 400g of white wine (not bad, by the way) is equal to 2 cups of tea (tea is so-so). So wine is better. The staff is responsive, everyone speaks English, they hardly understand Russian.

The price of 400g of white wine (not bad, by the way) is equal to 2 cups of tea (tea is so-so). So wine is better. The staff is responsive, everyone speaks English, they hardly understand Russian. The features of the Croatian language are affecting - the stress on the first syllable. And wrong stress changes words. Remember our joke about French chansonnier shoe repair : ) .
The rooms were cleaned carefully and every day.
But in general, the service is not intrusive : ) Ask, they will tell you in detail, and if you don’t ask, they won’t tell or prompt you yourself. In terms of information, as it is weak. In the evenings, a wonderful pianist played on the phono. And he sang well. In general, Croatians love to sing : )
The water is wonderful, the sea is alive - a lot of fish and other living creatures. Hedgehog saw one and then because he was looking hard. The beach is large pebbly and small sandy. But sand is crushed. Fine gravel 4x5mm. It is better to swim in swimming slippers.
A shuttle bus runs from the hotel to Sibenik. 12 kuna one way ticket. Driver's tickets. Receptionist schedule.
Sibenik is an interesting town. The old city can be walked up and down, several times in 3 hours with a visit to the fortress of St. Michael. Nice restaurant with seafood menu and Highlander beer. Service is good. On Pribislaca street. Croats met sympathetic and friendly.
From the hotel there is a boat with an excursion to the Krka nature reserve. There are waterfalls, rich vegetation, living creatures. Worth the swim. The bus is said to be less interesting. The only drawback is if the Russians are few, the guide speaks English and German. In general, the "great and mighty" in Croatia is very limited and rare. True written Croatian is quite easy for us to understand.
I am satisfied with the rest in general.

I liked the hotel in general. But a little monotonous food, and drinks at dinner are paid. The hotel has many families with children and elderly people (mostly from Europe - Germans, Slovaks, Italians, Poles). The beach is clean, there are practically no hedgehogs. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, a lot of entertainment for children.

We rested from June 22 to July 6.2008 with a company - two families with children. The price for one adult is 1100 euros. (the hotel is not worth it). The sending party is Amigotours. Atlant-Soyuz Airlines, Vnukovo Airport. Departure at 6.10 a / p Vnukovo without delay. Arrival in Split at 7.00. Upon arrival, we saw the welcoming signs only at VKO, Paks and Kompas.

We rested from June 22 to July 6.2008 with a company - two families with children. The price for one adult is 1100 euros. (the hotel is not worth it). The sending party is Amigotours. Atlant-Soyuz Airlines, Vnukovo Airport. Departure at 6.10 a / p Vnukovo without delay. Arrival in Split at 7.00. Upon arrival, we saw the welcoming signs only at VKO, Paks and Kompas. Amigotours sign was not found. It turned out that the meeting party of Atlantistur did not have a representative, because he was seeing off tourists. It is clear that the main thing is to escort, but it is not necessary to meet. Understood, got on the bus. The Solaris complex is about an hour away. At 9.30 we were already at the hotel. We go to the hotel without a representative. After a sleepless night, first a football match Russia - the Netherlands, and then at 3.00 a car to the airport, at the reception we hear the merciless "settlement at 14.00". After us, both VKO and Paks arrived with their representatives. For all one sentence - wait until 14.00. Asked to settle early at least - with small children as the rooms become available. But, everyone began to be settled after 13.00. The sign on the hotel is 4 *. In fact, this is a 3 * with an interference fit. The territory of the Solaris complex is located in a park area and is wonderful in itself. . The sea of Croatia is the best they have. But, the service deserves the harshest criticism. The rooms are very cramped. A maid with a vacuum cleaner is not placed there, which may be why cleaning is not done. She simply does not go to the balcony. Linen is not changed in the promised time (1 time in 3 days). Shampoo and soap should be taken with you. Upon check-in: two dead shampoo sachets and two tiny bars of soap. Nothing was reported for more than two weeks. There are no beach towels. If you want to change your towel, you need to throw it on the floor. But there was no certainty that they were hanging fresh. The smell of tobacco from the towels suggested unpleasant thoughts, or maybe they are from another room ? ! Shower cubicle small 70x70cm. There is no Russian TV channel. Floor air conditioner. Worked fine. The minibar prices are draconian, as expected. On the territory of the campsite, behind the hotel Niko, there are market drinks, groceries, shampoos, slippers, etc. Sun loungers by the beach are charged 20 kunas. This is about 100 rubles. You can't use an umbrella. In the shade of the pines it is cooler and safer. We looked into the advertised Wellness center. They took the key to the locker and asked how to get into the jacuzzi. We take a shower, we go. The jacuzzi is not working. We return, hand over the key and ask what is with the jacuzzi. The answer is literally: "whirlpool problems. " Couldn't you tell before? In general, the word "problems" can describe the entire service. And this is not an attitude towards Russians, as many perceive, but simply Croatian indifference. The food is average. Breakfast: muesli, bacon, sausages, yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs. Dinner: fish, meat, chicken or turkey. No marine delights (mussels or the like). Water at dinner is free, but you still need to "get" it. The waiters periodically fill a jug or two, then leave, and the people stand and wait. You are not allowed to use the vending machine yourself. Everything is covered with a cloth. Or remove it and do it for a fee, or without any queues. From fruits: apples, oranges, bananas always. Peaches, nectarines, melon and watermelon in small pieces. If we get lucky. After lunch, local youths come and hang out on the territory of the Ivan Hotel. If you do not leave anything on your sunbed, then in the evening it is no longer yours. At the Ivan hotel, the entry into the sea is normal, but in slippers, of course, it is more comfortable and the shower on the beach is free. Ivan also has a swimming pool with slides on the shore, paid for everyone. Hotel Juri has a colony of hedgehogs, and you need to put a coin in to take a shower. The contingent of the hotel is Russians, Italians, some French and Germans. The majority are local families. Age categories - a lot of children of diaper age, there are also enough pensioners. Of the excursions - Plitvice Lakes are quite close, noticeably closer than from Istria. Definitely worth a visit. The nature there is amazing. Even in hot weather, the tour will not be tiring. Dubrovnik is 6 hours away one way. On departure, the Split airport was replaced with Zadar and the time was 2 hours later. But, the hotel was still taken out at 6.00 am. Although the airport is not much further. The flight was cancelled. There were double boarding passes and two women were forced to fly, as they put it, "in the kitchen. " Conclusion - the quality of service is much lower than the price. If you are used to staying in hotels of at least 4 * and are already familiar with the nature of Croatia, then dissatisfaction is guaranteed.

Rested at the hotel Ivan Complex Solaris 4 stars obviously does not pull. 3- really. Dirty beaches. A lot of people. Half of the city of Š ibenik will be splashing and sunbathing next to you. Lots of small children. Noisy. When you check in, you will be marinated until 14.00 if there are free rooms. In Russian, they pretend that they do not understand.

My Croatia. “Dalmatia! The ship landed on a rocky shore. Diocletian quickly, like a boy, ran down the gangplank. Dalmatia!! ! I wanted to fall on my knees and stroke the rough ground with my palm. Once his father was a slave here. Diocles returned as emperor - Caesar Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletian Augustus.

My Croatia.
“Dalmatia! The ship landed on a rocky shore. Diocletian quickly, like a boy, ran down the gangplank. Dalmatia!! ! I wanted to fall on my knees and stroke the rough ground with my palm. Once his father was a slave here. Diocles returned as emperor - Caesar Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletian Augustus. Caesars are not supposed to show sentimentality in front of the troops... And yet he knelt down and stroked the stones.
I have a completely different story!
When you type in Split in Yandex, you get air conditioners and split systems, it is not so easy to find any historical information about such a wonderful city rich in history.
Having visited Croatia for the first time, I did not quite understand it, but it became close and interesting to me. You will recognize the real Croatia in central Dalmatia, where true Croats live. Croats are a Slavic people, but they look a little like Russians. Realizing the common origin, you understand why they are so close and cute.
We lived near the small town of Sibenik. During the day it is just a fairy tale - quiet, empty, romantic... in the evening all the sights are illuminated, which makes them seem even more ancient. Narrow streets paved with rubbed white stone, an abundance of plants in tubs placed right along the streets. From there, from the local bus station Kolodvor, we discovered the real Croatia. Only 20 minutes and you get to the Krka National Park - a miracle of nature, crystal clear water, emerald lakes, views from which you can’t take your eyes off, the singing of rare birds, the scent of flowers and the sound of water, a boat trip, in places where tourists rarely wander, where no people and only mountain goats greet us at the edge of the cliff. They left their signature in an ancient book intended for tourists in the Franciscan monastery.
And, undoubtedly, the most vivid impression of the entire trip is the fabulous, majestic city of Split. It strikes, it does not leave indifferent. The energy emanating from this city is breathtaking. Having passed through an underground tunnel, formerly a place of imprisonment of Christian martyrs, he “blows the roof off” from what he saw. Once upon a time, the son of a former slave, Emperor Diocletian, after his abdication, built a palace for himself, more reminiscent of a fortress or a military camp, and 1700 years ago, the walls of the palace seemed to grow out of the water, in the center there was a gate access to which was only from the water. Passing through them, a view of the “modest” dwelling of the emperor opens. Libraries, baths, a cathedral and a “magic” bell tower, to climb which, you need to have more than a dozen shares of courage, all made of white stone, battered by time. It is about him that a legendary saying has been preserved: when Diocletian was begged to return to the throne, he refused, when asked why? - Oh, if you could see what kind of cabbage I have grown in Split. Actually this famous phrase he went down in history. After his death, the palace began to be inhabited by ordinary people and the emperor's dwelling turned into a city. Now, it is strange to imagine that these walls are 1700 years old, that once behind the windows, between which the laundry is now being dried, there was the residence of the Roman emperor. But, nevertheless, despite the time difference, you understand that the same people lived there.
Lots of cute, little islands living a quiet, leisurely life. Nudist beaches. Everyone knows that Croatia is a country of nudists. Nobody is embarrassed to “undress beautifully” here, even on ordinary beaches you notice that the Croats themselves rarely use changing cabins.
The purest sea. There are practically no such purest waters left in the world, therefore all Dalmatian beaches are under the protection of UNESCO. Croatia is a country that is impossible not to fall in love with, a country that you always want to return to.
Ancient cities that are 2000 years old, friendly, kind people, emerald blue, gentle, gentle sea, cool wind, peace and quiet, only the sound of the sea, no one around - only you and small islands on the horizon, you can’t believe your eyes, you are afraid to blink, it seems that you are in heaven, that this is a fairy tale, and you want it to never - never end.
The brightest impression:
City - Split Palace, climbing the bell tower, boating on the river and Krka canyons, clear sea, very handsome men, hitchhiking, night swimming, meeting a real navigator - artist.
Most delicious:
Hobotnitsy (squid) with potatoes, meat dried in the sea wind - prosciutto, salad with arugula, pancakes, coffee and wine, freeze-dried ice cream.
Most tasteless:
Pasta casserole, pancakes made from semolina or wheat flour, freeze-dried ice cream!
Amazing discoveries: The Polos are from Dalmatia, Marco Polo was born on the island of Korcula, the first thing a child born on Korcula learns is that he is Marco Polo's countryman. The first hydroelectric power plant in Europe, invented by Nikola Tesla, who is of Croatian origin, is still in operation and is located in the Krka National Park; the ballpoint pen was invented by the Croatian inventor S. Penkale. The tie is also an invention of the Croats. The island opposite our beach, which we called the gray block, turned out to be a very famous place with a coral reef - it was Zlarin.
A spoon of tar:
She stepped on a hedgehog and caught a cold.
