I couldn't have asked for a better location opposite the beach and close to cafes and restaurants. The rooms were immaculate and very well decorated, offering comfortable beds, but they could use some renovations. The service was exceptional, with a particularly helpful young Croatian English-speaking front desk. The hotel's facilities were top-notch. However, the lack of modern basic amenities for a 4-star hotel was a letdown.
