Everything was great from the moment we arrived. The lady at the reception was very welcoming and kind, and she even gave us a free early check-in, which we really appreciated—especially since the hotel was quite full. The rest of the staff were also fantastic—friendly, helpful, and always available if you needed anything. Breakfast was delicious and served with a beautiful view. While the buffet selection wasn’t huge, you can order whatever you like, which more than made up for it. We also had lunch at the beach restaurant a few times—the food was excellent, and the prices were very fair. Definitely worth a try! One small downside: the hotel has expanded this season, and it seems they’re still adjusting to the increased number of guests. During the weekend, things got a bit hectic and the staff seemed overwhelmed. That said, I’m confident they’ll sort this out soon. Overall, a great experience—we’d happily come back!
a few comments. positives: clean rooms, nice beach and staff. negatives: the breakfast offer is far below the five-star standard. modest choice and the quality of the food leaves something to be desired. the nuts, for example, were rancid. the poppy seed cake was not fresh either, the next day i found the product in the spar store next door, among the special offers. ;) we ordered a burger for lunch at the beach bar, the meat was obviously mirelit, the middle was just lukewarm. we didn't have dinner. but it wouldn't take much to get five stars.
If you need safety for your family, hotel Amabilis does not apply to this. I'ts scary to go near him, not to mention his visit. August 13, 2023, terrible incident in the parking lot of this hotel happened. An employee of the hotel parking Amabilis Hotel, an elderly man in the middle of the white day, attacked me and my family with a huge kitchen knife. I managed to close the doors in the car, and thank God, I remained alive with my three-year-old daughter. Only the car was injured. A hotel parking worker scratched the door of my car with a knife and pierced the wheel. Thank God we are alive and the wheel is replaced. The police arrived and said that you can go to court, but you will not prove anything. The hotel staff refused to help at the reception and just kicked us out of the hotel and from the parking area. They refused to call the police and they kicked us out to hide their employees' attack on us. Passers-by helped us call the police and helped with changing the wheel. There are a lot of witnesses to this besprilin, but a rich hotel can buy everyone and hide the traces of the attack. The reason for the attack is a stop in their parking lot for 5 minutes. My wife was driving and drove into one of the free spaces in this parking lot without prohibited signs. To transfer the older child with things to the coach very close to the sports camp "Hostel Karlovak". Her was gone for exactly 5 minutes, but the hotel employee of the Amabilis Hotel started to force me to leave the parking lot. I politely asked to wait a few minutes without disturbing anyone, as there were many empty spaces in the parking lot. But the employee started insulting me and pushing me on the eyes of my three-year-old daughter. I didn't use force, but in a rude voice asked me not to touch with my hands. After that, the man ran into the hotel restaurant and a few minutes later returned with a huge kitchen knife and began to poke the window with a knife and scratch the car door and cut the wheel. There were many witnesses to the incident, but no one called the police. I regret that I didn't immediately calm him down by force until he brought a knife.I just asked the hotel employee to stand in this parking lot for 5 minutes, as my wife moved away and she is the driver. I know how to drive a car and could leave even without documents, but on this line for many kilometers there's no free space re-park, and it is also impossible to turn on the emergency parking, as I would block a very narrow road and create an emergency. We are in Croatia for the first time, and we were upset by this situation. Maybe the hotel is beautiful and comfortable with 5 stars and the owner of the hotel just doesn't know that a mentally ill person works for him who can attack people with a kitchen knife, I don't know...
