Galovac Holidays from £591

The hotel is a quiet place to stay, with an easy bus stop next the hotel to take you to Zadar. Items to note - the private paid parking also requires a 30 euro deposit for the remote and there is no coffee, coffee pot or kettle in the room if you would like to have coffee in room before going down.

The parking to facility not easy to find and you have to carry some luggage for few blocks. The rooms on 3rd floor, no lift. The manager Inga is excellent.

This was meant to be a treat for tired, sore back travelers, advertised as a luxury spa resort.It failed.The booking made on Expedia website clearly stated 2 separate beds. The hotel claimed they did not receive the exact information. They tried to be somewhat accommodating and made a bed out of 2 couches. The arrangement did not work well as the couches moved at night and were uncomfortable. If you cannot sleep well, relaxation is gone. The spa was mostly nude and for unaccompanied women, quite uncomfortable. It has saunas, cooling and warming small pools. No real hot tub or jets. Had a massage session at US hotel prices. The masseuse was good , however did not ask about any medical conditions or precautions. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The pizza place provided an undercooked crust average pie. The other restaurants were good, not excellent.The indoor/outdoor pools are nice. The beach is just a shoreline, not the most picturesque or particularly well maintained. Can do much better in other areas of Croatia. The property is isolated. Some neglected lots are in the vicinity as well as some ugly, hopefully administrative buildings.Not much else to do nearby. Overall, I’d say it is a 3-4 star resort ( 3 for poor sleeping arrangements), overpriced for Croatia and service provided. Does not give you the flavor of that Country, nor is it the luxury resort it claims to be. Ok for a short conference if you don’t care about the location and don’t need the not bed sofa!

Lovely suite. Updates to the space were very very nice. Ivan met us and got us all set with details about the room and building. Great location. Parking could be challenging if you have a car. We did and found a space at the building. No need for an auto once you are there, so didn’t need to move it. And it’s free! Go to the promenade in the evening; lovely sunsets, people watching, food and drinks, the sea organ and the lighted ‘dance floor’ are all a treat. Only 2 flights to navigate. Felt very safe.

I cannot think of a better place to stay in old town Zadar. Apartments was great. Staff was wonderful and stayed up late for us despite our late arrival. The breakfast was free, made to order and fantastic! The apartment/hotel is located in the center of the old town. Main cathedral is visible from the windows. All sites in old town Zadar are within five/eight mins walk.
