BOUTIQUE HOTEL MARCO POLO - Gradac Makarska Riviera

  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 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 service is fantastic. Genuine and helpful staff especially the receptionists and restaurant/bar staff. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us.

Fabulous location in Gradac. ... read more />
My only qualm would be that the hotel is dated in parts and could do with some refurbishment here and there but overall, we had a lovely stay, and we will be back next year.

The hotel was fully booked when we made our reservation so we could not reserve a room with a sea view. The rooms with side views are not ideal but the location of the hotel made up for the lack of view we had from our room. Next time we will make sure we book a room with a sea view.

Lovely vacation. Thank you. More

The staff are attentive but not intrusive. They helped with parking, our bags, recommendations for things to do and even provided a physician for our post-trip Covid test that was required to get back into the U.S. You can sit by the sea on one of the hotel loungers, go in for a swim or just head back to the beautiful pool at the hotel. There are chairs on the sundeck that provide a great spot for viewing the gorgeous Croatian sunset. Our room was nice sized, with a large sofa and king size bed. Great little hotel!
