Valamar Meteor Hotel

The Valamar Meteor hotel was in a great location right by the beach and near the old town. The view was nice and the room was clean. Breakfast is also great !! The sunset is beautiful !!

Sehr schönes, modernisiertes Hotel in Top Lage. Frühstück ausgezeichnet. Die Fläche vor dem InfinityPool und Liegen waren leider komplett überfüllt und nichts mehr frei , was etwas ungemütlich war. Der kleine Garten vor dem Innenpool mit den Liegen und den Daybetten war aber schön ruhig und nicht ganz so überlaufen. Hotel ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

We recently stayed at the Valamar in Makarska, about an hour and a half drive from Split airport. The journey itself was a treat, with stunning views of the mountains on one side and the sparkling Adriatic Sea on the other – a beautiful start to our holiday. We visited in the off-season, so everything was quiet and peaceful – perfect for a family of six looking to unwind. We opted for the half-board package, which included breakfast and dinner. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, including the amenities, which were well maintained. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but very clean and came with a gorgeous balcony view that more than made up for the size. While the outdoor pool wasn’t open due to the season, the indoor heated pool was massive and lovely – a big hit with the kids! The sauna was a nice touch too, and everything was kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach – though it's pebbly, the water is crystal clear and stunning to look at. Being so close to the mountains adds to the charm, with breathtaking scenery all around. There's a long promenade for walks, and although many places were closed due to the time of year, the 5-minute walk to the marina revealed some beautiful spots and a few great restaurants. Food-wise, breakfast had plenty of options for all tastes, and dinner was freshly prepared each day with a good variety. Our kids enjoyed every meal. However, one downside was that soft drinks weren’t included with dinner despite the half-board plan. The available machine drinks were overly sweet and not well diluted – including at least basic soft drinks would have been appreciated. That said, the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay. A local supermarket was just a stone’s throw away, which made picking up essentials super convenient. One thing to note is that eating out in restaurants was surprisingly pricey – for example, we paid €18 for a simple spaghetti pomodoro. A round trip private taxi to Split cost us nearly €300 for all six of us, which felt steep. We also visited the charming town of Omis, with its gorgeous views and scenic fortress hike, but even the local bus ride added up quickly at €7 per person each way. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Valamar hotel in Makarska to friends and family. If you visit during the main season, I imagine the town comes alive with even more to offer – and I’d happily return to experience it.

Great walks and swimming. Did skywalk trip with unimog, open sided vehicle, stunning mountain and sea views. Valamar staff v helpful, food good and room comfortable

Amazing experience at Valamar hotel with my partner. Clean venue, polite and helpful staff, great breakfast buffet, pool was amazing! Restaurant next door did us handy and learnt how to de-fillet a fish! (With discount too?! -Thank you so much!-) Had a fantastic time here, Maja the organiser also sent us in the right directions for day trips and things to do. Will definitely be returning. We love Croatia!

Hotel is brilliant location, staff are friendly & helpful. Food is very good.pool area is looking out to the sea which is only meter's away! The hotel is really clean everywhere. The manager was kind enough to show us the suite & bigger rooms for return stay.
