Just come back from 1 week (5 women 40ish). Hotel not bad had a twin and what we thought triple room but only small bed setee. Ok if small kids but cramped for three women.
Weather very mixed sun and rain for 4days v v hot two days and thunderstorms and rain all day 1 day.
Breakfast ok although had to que along time for tea and cofee. Had "food police" on patrol outside the doors stopped from taking a banana!!.
Went on boat trip to Hvara and Bol. Booked direct with men on the harbour £20 compared to £50 with tour operator. Told us if raining would not sail but on day it did pour down boat still went. (How do you tell 180 people your not going!! )V Beautiful little town but busy as other tripers as well. Sea v v clear and clean but beach they show you looks like sand but isnt, all beaches small pebbles.
Good places to eat. Best is Riva, on harbour front set back a little. Very good food worth that little extra.
El Toro lovely food but very dificult to find. across the road from the boats take road up by picture gallery up side street and keep left. Across the road.
Lido - out of the back of the hotel first one on right ate here every lunch time great pizza.
Cafe oz - best cocktails. out back of hotel turn left opposite childrens playground.
Pool area ok although would imagine v busy at peak season. Also sea water, but there is a fresh water shower at the side.
Down side, the hotel has two lifts but only one working since Feb we were told.
Nice break for a week.

The Meteor hotel is wonderful! My husband and I stayed there for a week in May to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The year before we spent two weeks at the hotel up the road - the Dalmacia but felt that this hotel had more amenities and far better for adults on their own. The only downside was that we felt the balcony - although a wonderful view of the sea and mountains - could have been bigger. The room was large and spotless (we were on the 8th floor though but the lifts were always available).

Makarska is lovely. We spent most days walking and would recommend a walk to Tucepi through the woods (about an hour walk but definitely worth it).

The bars outside the hotel to the right are lovely and you can actually sit on the beach (although pebble and not sand) - but that makes it better when you are eating. We would recommend the Anchor bar for food and cleanliness (as you come out of the hotel turn left and it is about 50 yards away).

All in all I would say Makarska is our favourite place - we love it and the scenery is breath taking.

Oh - and dont take the trips recommended by the couriers to Split. Take the bus - it is so easy and much much cheaper!!!

We liked the hotel, but thought that it wasnt a 4* hotel.
Both pools were lovely.
The peolple are friendly. The location is excellent, only a few minutes stroll into the town centre. Views of the sea & mountains are breath taking.
We went on a trip to Biokovo Mountains, which was stunning, the lunch was one of the best meals we had during our stay. Other meals were ok but all places had exactly same menu, which became monotonous. One restaurant which we did like is by the marina in Makarska and is called The Adriatico, the food and service there was excellent.
Another two we would recommend is Riva, on the front just up from the ferry, looks expensive from outside but wasnt. Also El Toro, along from church square in the centre of town

Mixed comments about this hotel:
Location - Perfect. It's right next to the sea, literally 10 seconds from the the hotel.
Room - Not top class but pleasant and absolutely fine for 2 people but there is a bed-setee and if that was used to make it in to a family room, then it would be very cramped.
Public areas - Again, not top class but acceptable. The reception area has large leather sofas which are comfortable. The small bar is very smokey and not very nice. The conservatory which has limited availability is very nice (Reserved for Saga guests outside high season).
Outside areas - attractive.
Dining room - like a school canteen
Food - Just about acceptable. You would imagine lots of fresh fish & fruit on the Adriatic coast. Fish dishes were very limited. Main courses fairly bland. Poor range of desserts - Fruit salad is tinned. Rice pudding - Yuk. Nice ice cream.
Staff - All pleasant.
