Top Veli Rat Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mediteran

Hotel Mediteran

10/10 Excellent
"This is a perfect treat of a hotel after many nights of small room in Split. Wonderful staff, very welcoming. Perfect, well appointed room, exceptionally clean. Little balcony overlooking the perfectly maintained pool and pretty grounds. We only had a one night, en route to Pula, but seriously wished we'd booked longer. We booked an evening walking tour of the Old Town with Ivana from the hotel. Absolutely fantastic and the very best thing to do with just a one night stay. We'd seriously like to maje this hotel a base for several nights when we come again. Wonderful breakfast too. Free parking at the back of the hotel -we could see the hire car from our balcony. Just €10 for a taxi into the town - ordered for us by reception staff. Excellent."

"Excellent place. The spa, the pools, the views, the proximity to the beach, the food was still very good qualitiy although some years ago there were more choices. The indoor pool is the best. It is very expensive for solo travellers as they do not have single rooms. Negative point: there was no control at the pools or spa. There were naked people in the spa during the hours that children were allowed. There were naked babies in the pool (no swimming diapers). At sunset the heated pool was lined with drinks (in glass containers) and people drinking them inside the pool."

"Amazing place. Everything was perfect. The only thing that needs to improve is communication about opening times of the Il Cantuccio restaurant as it closes at 8pm despite the paperwork, app and TV saying 10pm. The lady (I assume manager) was so rude to us and many other customers. She lets the place down as everyone else is so polite and cannot do enough for you. The other staff at Il Cantuccio are lovely though."
