BOUTIQUE HOTEL MARCO POLO - Gradac Makarska Riviera

  Faultless although not over-experienced staff, but always very happy to help, from the owners to the serving staff. However, ‘Boutique’ is probably a bit ott for what is a good... read more 3-star hotel - but it probably gets away with it due the fact that the Gradac town is relatively low-end in terms of quality in general - real lack of good restaurants or bars, cheap and cheerful in the main. The room we had was a ‘superior’ one, and was not a bad room, but unfortunately smelt like it had a humidity problem, or a toxic cleaning material. The cleaners work hard to sort it, but was still lingering after 4 days unless we left all windows open all the time. The restaurant is ok, but again not what you might expect by the label ‘boutique’. The staff however make a real effort and there can be no complaints on this front.

  Visited Stipe & his very nice hotel together with 25 bikers from 'Hjerterytterne' - bike club part of the Danish heart association.
Excellent location with plenty of tours - on... read more excellent high quality roads with challenging climbs and beautiful scenery.
Add to that an excellent service both on tours and at the hotel from Stipe and his crew. Highly recommended!!

  Cosy and comfortable hotel. We stayed in a spacious room with a lovely sea view. Great location right at the sea, nice outside dining area. Lovely roof terrace. Probably the... read more best place in Gradac. Will come again, hope there will be fresh fish on the menu .

  Great hotel with very friendly staff. We got last minute cancelled rooms side by side for 3 couples. The rooms were very nice and clean, comfortable beds and quiet inviornment.... read more Breakfast was included and rooms were cleaned every day. Pool area is exeptional and also the roof terrace. Thank you!

  Very nice place, perfectly located just a few steps across a small street, and you are by the beach. We arrived as a couple by car. The narrow streets... read more in Gradac can be a bit challenging, but we had car parking requested, a spot was reserved for us, and once the car is safely stored away, there is little reason to touch it at all during your stay. The very welcoming and friendly staff genuinely seemed to care about our well-being. Our room was nice, very clean, well maintained and big enough with a balcony overlooking the sea. The breakfast was good, with a very reasonable selection. Only, I was not too convinced about the coffee machine. But hey, this is Croatia not Italy, so no deduction of points here. One evening we had dinner in the restaurant on the terrace right by the beach. The restautant is perhaps the only area that could be improved. The place is perfectly located, the service was ... trying, but maybe because it was still early in the season, didn't keep up with number of tables to be served .... or maybe our waiter loved to chat a little too much with some other guests ... Our meal reached us lukewarm rather than hot. We decided not to spoil an otherwise perfect evening in a wonderful location and didn't return the plates, just tepid seafood pasta in a restaurant with upper class ambitions...

Our meal reached us lukewarm rather than hot. We decided not to spoil an otherwise perfect evening in a wonderful location and didn't return the plates, just tepid seafood pasta in a restaurant with upper class ambitions is simply out of the question.

Did the waiter, the kitchen have a bad day? We don't know, we chose alternative dinner places, which are plenty in close walking distance for the other evenings.

Will we come back to the hotel? Definitely, we'll decide then if the restautarant deserves a second chance. More

  The hotel is located literally next to the ocean with a wonderful view.

You couldn't ask for more regarding a staff; they are without exception friendly, welcoming and... read more caring. They remember every detail about you and your travelling company and thus provide you with an individual service. The hotel manager is extraordinary and should definitely be a role model for other hotels and managers around the globe.

How many hotel managers would personally, due to high demand, drive an extra boat trip for a whole day? Or invite a member of our travelling company to join him on his personal bike-trip with his friends?

The rooms are clean, well-equipped overall really satisfying.

The hotel organizes different trips which is to recommend.

The restaurant lives up to the reputation regarding the food which is delicious. The breakfast is beyond expectations and has everything you would expect.

There is no problem to get tasty gluten-free food here after requesting this, also you may get good gluten-free bread at the breakfast. There was no vegetarian alternatives on the menu, but there was no problem to redo an existing dish into vegetarian.
