BOUTIQUE HOTEL MARCO POLO - Gradac Makarska Riviera

  Fantastic service and staff, beautiful and clean hotel with a family feeling, not a huge pool but the beach is just a few steps away from the hotel.
The hotel... read more has their own boat and sets up day trips to hvar, i recommend it!

  This is one of the most welcoming and friendly hotels I've visited. We've stayed at hotels with same or higher "rating" before, but they've always felt a little stuck up,... read more but not this place. At Marco Polo you get nice rooms, good food, wonderful beach with lovely trees for shade, but best of all you get outstanding service. From cleaning staff to restaurant, reception and manager, everybody seems genuinely eager to provide personal service, whatever their main job is, and the service always comes with a smile. (Not the forced kind... 🙂 ) The excursions arranged by the hotel are wonderful as well, smaller groups makes for a more personal experience. Would without a doubt go back!

  Were taking a break out of this busy and chaotic world (plus the covid, of course). And I could say we made a right choice to breath in and out... read more in this little paradise in Gradac. This family hotel gives a vibrant vibe of cozy yet calm ambiance. And take note, they observe the new normal protocol that makes you feel at east by having sanitation corner in each area to avoid any spread of germs. It was like a home when the staff welcomed us. We met the owner Stipe who entertained us late afternoon after our arrival and on the next morning we had a good serving of breakfast meal on the seaside. That really makes our stay like a honeymoon again... We had some small talks with the hotel Manager Nenad and offered us a good rate for a 4hr tour in Makarska. The staff deals with us politely with a smile and very accommodating even sharing what's the best in this area like adventures and trips. If we could only extend our stay, we'll surely do. Definitely, we'll be back next season and make sure to make our stay longer. More

  Very good hotel with a very attentive and friendly staff. Food was very good and allergies well cared for. Room were a good standard and the area was perfect for... read more exploring on a Road bike. I will come again

  We have stayed for a few days in Boutique Hotel Marco Polo. It was an amazing time and I can recommend for other travelers to come here and spend there... read more time at this beautiful hotel. The rooms were clean, pretty, had an AC, the bathroom was amazing and the balcony was also nice. The served breakfast a lot and everyone can find something they like here. The staff was very nice and were helpful all the time. The only reason why I don’t give 5/5 is, because the Wi-Fi was bad. And for a place like this were travelers need Internet it was inconvenient. The reason for the bad Wi-Fi is the thick walls what I understand and what made the rooms on the other hand really quite. More

  Whole staff is that what put this hotel above others. Very kind and helpfull. Hotel itself is very nice, quite small and cozy despite that room (105) was spacious and... read more very comfortable. Location just next to the beach makes breakfast with the greatest view ever. Good food and drinks at hotel’s restaurant. Private beach was a nice touch too. I think guests are underestimating the roof tarrace. Maybe that’s good because we where there alone chilling after sunny day.
Nie podobało się · WiFi was really poor. Sometimes wasn’t working at all, even when I got to the lobby. Water at shower changes from cold to hot by itself. Hope they only our room has that issue and they will fix that soon. More

  Me and my mum booked a week at Marco Polo after reading about it at tripadvisor, and even though we have heard so much about it we could never have... read more imagined how extremely happy we would be about our stay.
The staff is very happy with their jobs. It’s the only way they can deliver service the way they do. Everyone is so friendly and service minded, from the hotel manager Stipe to all staff in the restaurant, the cleaning staff the people working the reception, etc.
The rooms are very comfy, the beds great to sleep in, the food very tasty and well cooked, and the environment over all is welcoming and offers a place where you want to stay.
I want to send special love to Tanja, and the hiking with her is something I will always cary in my heart.
We MUST be back!

  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

  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.
