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

  We had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. From breakfast at the open air restaurant, to dinner at a table by the sea, it is an oasis... read more of calm. 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!

  The hotel has the best staff i've ever experienced. They are super kind and speaking english perfectly. The rooms are very comfortable with everything you would need. The crystal clear... read more sea is 5 meters away from the entrance. The bike routes are one of the best in Europe. The breakfast and dinner is always from the best ingredients you can find in Dalmatia. I could not imagine any better place to spend your holiday in Croatia.

  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...

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

We have planned to tour the towns near by but at the end we did not move the car the whole stay as hotel and Gradac were more than enough for us. Hotel is right on the beach with its own sun padio and sea platform with comfortable sunchairs under the trees. Guests are free to use sea accessorizes owned by the hotel. Shops, bakeries, restaurants and ATM are metres away so we lack nothing. Recommendation is to try hotels frozen coctails which are superb. Surely we will come back next summer! 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!
