Stipe Residence

Hotel was ok, at least it was more then i expected for that price. However there was no receptionist waiting for us upon arrival 1130pm after 30 minutes i eventually figure out (with help of one of the guests) that there is a bell on the other side of hotel(sic!) during one week nobody cleaned our room even there was a PLEASE CLEAN OUR ROOM label hanging on the door. Eventually we managed to get a mop so we could do it ourselves. In summary: If you want a nice looking place with decent distance to the beach and bus stop (less then 100 meters) with no working WIFI (we had to go to reception area to get in range) I will recomend it to you

The apartment was very clean, spacious with a beautiful sea view and lovely balcony. It was handy to have the kitchen, fridge and private parking. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Only downside was that the internet did not work in the room but signal was very strong on the outside terras, above the reception.

Not easy to find apartments, one staff member showed us to our room, nice view, told if we needed any think to ring out side door bell, at 4 30pm rang to ask if someone could help to sort why the TV was not working. Left at 8.00pm to get dinner and still no one had arrived, on our return the TV was working. The double bed was appalling, this apartment had a 4 star rating, the bed was ready for the tip, had to search for any top bedding, found in wardrobe, the towel for shower where just hand towels. Not 4 star standard. Breakfast was extra , but was good.

The hotel is about 8km from Split in a quiet area. Podstrana is beautiful, with mountains behind the clear blue sea and local beaches. There aren't many shops in the area, and a few local bars, so if you are looking for a quiet break, it;s spot on. The Aparthotel was very clean and only 2 minutes walk from the beach. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Take a trip to the old town in Split (approx £15) by taxi- its historical buildings and heritage are amazing. I would stay here again. if you are looking for nightlife and bars then this isnt the place, but for a quiet few days away in the sun, R&R, and swimming in the crystal blue sea then i would recommend it.

Everything was lovely, the room may have been the best we had all holiday, very large with a large bathroom and sizable kitchen. Also have very good conditioning. Though no one was available when we arrived so we had to wait for a while, and the breakfast was simple.

We arrived the hotel at 9pm. There wasn't anyone at the reception. We tried a buzzer labelled reception at the hotel but no luck. We went across the street and found a helpful receptionist from another hotel to ring a local number on our Expedia confirmation. It went through to hotel stipe reception mobile which is not stationed in the hotel. It took her 10 mins to drive back and checked us in. If we didn't find the guy to help us rang the number we wouldn't be able to check in. Apart from this near miss experience, the receptionist is reasonably helpful and spoke good english.

This apartment has a fabulous view of the sea. The bus from Split is right out the front. We travelled in the off season so found it difficult to find resturants close by. The manager was very friendly.

I was travelling with 2 friends and we were very impressed with this hotel. The staff were super friendly and spoke fluent english. The bus to get to downtown Split was very easy to access and took no time to get there. All in all, I would highly recomend this to anyone.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The apartment and the room very clean. The bus stop oposit the hotel. I would recomended. We went twice to 5*Meredian hotel for dinner and. Very bad experience. The staff in this apartment are much better trained than the other hotel.

Clean, everything new, well maintained; very helpful staff, very good location, stunning view, easy to go to Split just 15 minutes
