I have long dreamed of going to Croatia and finally my dream came true!
I won’t describe for a long time - whoever was or is just planning to visit will understand my delight.
We rested in the hotel "Jadran" (3+) 4 km from Trogir. I was pleasantly surprised, because, in my opinion, the hotel deserves at least 4 stars!
Territory: as already mentioned here, the territory is very beautiful and well-groomed. Charming squirrels lived on huge pine trees right in front of the room and came to visit in the morning! Very quiet and calm all around. It was 20 meters from our room to the beach. In principle, from any building to the sea it was no more than 5 minutes walk. There was also an outdoor pool, near which - sunbeds with mattresses and umbrellas for free. But who goes to the pool when the sea is like that!

Restaurant: The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the service is amazing. Clean white tablecloths, cutlery is almost always on the table (if not, as soon as they see you near the table, they immediately bring it). The waiters are very smiling and efficient - nothing had to wait long, even dirty dishes on the tables did not linger - this was constantly monitored. The restaurant has 1 large summer terrace and 1 long balcony with tables - both platforms overlooking the sea. It's just wonderful! In the evenings, musicians came several times (a violinist and, it seems, a guitarist), played and sang Croatian songs very beautifully and sincerely - such a pleasant surprise for guests from the hotel. Once, at dinner, unsuspecting guests witnessed a surprise. Candles were burning on a table in the corner, and rose petals were strewn across the snow-white tablecloth. Suddenly, the lights in the whole hall went out and the cook with the maitre-d-hotel rolled out a big pink cake and sang “Happy Birthday” to one of the girls at the table! Everyone in the restaurant applauded when they realized what was happening, and the girl was very surprised. Then the cake We drove around the restaurant and treated everyone!
Meals (I will write in detail, as this is important to many): we had half board. Drinks at breakfast were free - tea, coffee, milk, juices (natural, but diluted, but not Zuko, which I was very surprised! ) They fed very well. Breakfast was the same, but a large selection, so every day you could take something different. Muesli and various crispy cereals with milk, yogurt, kefir, curdled milk (just real curdled milk! : )), cottage cheese, sausage cuts, hard cheese, jams, pates and honey, boiled eggs, fried eggs and scrambled eggs, fried and boiled sausages, cereals ( very tasty! ), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers) and even pancakes! I am silent about pastries - amazing croissants, donuts, pies with filling and other rolls; ) And, of course, fruits. In general, they were given both for breakfast and dinner, and in such quantity that everyone had enough of everything: apples, pears, plums, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, melons, watermelons and even pineapple once was : ) And not just one type of fruit per day, and many different every day! Why do I paint like this? I just want to refute other reviews (that there were no fruits, but only pies) and supplement them! The variety was huge and everything was very tasty! Dinners were no better! Fruits and vegetables in large quantities, from vegetables - green salad, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, and pickles. You could make your own salads and dress to taste with olive oil or a special salad dressing : ) One soup for every dinner. Side dishes - the most diverse (usually 4 types) and, of course, meat dishes and delicious fish!! ! Main course - 4 types and not only chicken! Awesome bone-in pork, meatloaf, fish in all possible sauces… you can describe for a long time! The fact that there was a limited amount of hot (meat) is also not true! It was possible to take at least 4 types of meat / fish that were presented at once, or just come for an addition if not enough. The cook at the distribution never said anything and did not even look askance; ) drinks at dinner are paid. We ordered mainly tea (served by default with a slice of lemon and a bag of honey : ), wine and beer. Everything is very good quality and very tasty!
Beach: it was 5 minutes walk from any room to the beach. Our room was on the closest line to the coast. Sea view from 90% of the rooms. Amazing pine trees grow right on the beach. The beach itself is narrow - stones and slabs, but in the area of ​ ​ u200bu200bthe main entrance, the beach and the entrance to the water are covered with small pebbles. Beach chairs - free of charge. They stayed there until the evening, so that it was possible to sit near the water until midnight and watch the lunar path. There was enough space for everyone and no one sat on each other's heads. In addition, all beaches in Croatia are public (there are no fences, etc. ) so we walked along the coast and chose places where we would like to swim today. Even if the beach adjoined someone's house, the locals had nothing against "stray" tourists.
Rooms are very comfortable, although small. The room is a house with a separate entrance. There is air conditioning, which worked perfectly, TV with Russian channels, shower-toilet - everything is very clean and tidy. Cleaned every day, towels changed when thrown on the floor.

Excursions: Excursions were offered to us directly at the hotel. At the hotel we bought a trip to Plitvice Lakes - a stunning national reserve. I advise everyone to go there! We also took a trip to Dubrovnik at the hotel - also a lot of positive impressions and vivid emotions. On both excursions we were taken by the Atlas tour agency - everything was perfectly organized: transport, guides, the program itself - just super!! ! We ourselves went for walks in the city of Trogir - it takes about 30 minutes on foot, 10 minutes on a ride or bus (stop near the hotel). Trogir is a wonderful town, very beautiful and cozy. Boats also went there from the Meden Hotel, which is a 15-minute walk from Jadran. The boat is cheap. We ourselves went to Split. Bought a guide. And they got to Split from Trogir by boat - they sailed for 1 hour. It is very pleasant (especially in the heat) to travel by sea, and not by bus. Split struck and fascinated - there are simply no words. Spent the whole day there. Also near the hotel "Medena" bought a trip to the "Fish Picnic". Such a relaxing tour by sea to a neighboring island - there is a walk and swimming, then again by sea a trip to another island and lunch there - grilled fish (oooooo very tasty! ) With salad, bread and wine - all in an unlimited number of ve. Then rest-swimming and return to the hotel. We really enjoyed! On the last day before departure, it was overcast and drizzling, and we rented bicycles at Meden. They didn't ask for any deposits, and they didn't even take documents! We went to the neighboring island through Trogir - we didn’t even think that we would go so far - it was just super!
They left with tears in their eyes. Croatia so fascinated and amazed us with its beauties, delicious food, friendly and colorful people that we want to return there again. The best impressions remained about the hotel "Yadran"! Believe it or not, we didn't find a single flaw!
Note: there is no packing of luggage at the Split airport, therefore, those who knew took with them a film or bags + adhesive tape (in their homeland at the airport, when loading and unloading, they like to open their suitcases and pull out what they like).
I advise everyone to definitely visit Croatia and stay at the Jadran Hotel!
