Hotel Val All Inclusive

Edit after 3 days: Avoid at all costs! Initially, I was having a lovely hiking holiday with my friend until a power trippy head waiter got involved and completely ruined the experience. So there is no drinking water in the room, no shops open close by or on site... and I was chastised for filling my small 70cl bottle with water for my hike. I genuinely thought it might be because he thought I was filling up with fizzy but when I showed him it was water, he had a go at me again. Honestly, this is beyond a joke, he's the main bartender as well... being that there was about 15 guests staying in total, he knows I don't drink. To embarrass me for getting just water.. wow... Just wow. Original review (1 day in): Came just before season starts, no mention of no pool. That's fine as we were here for a walking holiday. Asked for a simple Sun bed to lie on and the man said of course, I'll send someone to unlock them now, so I trotted off very satisfied. We waited patiently for an hour and nothing... I walked up to reception again and the man had left. A lady replaced him. She firstly didn't apologise on behalf of the man for not coming to find us (2 minute walk) and secondly informed me it was not possible to provide us with a sunbed. So I asked if we could borrow a cushion or a towel to lie on for a couple of hours, nope... It was something so very very simple but definitely an unwillingness to help. Food is local and absolutely delicious, definitely not catered for fussy western children. I don't drink so can't comment. The rooms are very basic, but very clean. Unfortunately no fridge, kettle or water provided. Comfortable place to rest our legs after our long hikes though. Shower was also broken. Final thought: After these 2 really bad experiences in such a short space of time, I would definitely come back to the area but I would avoid this hotel with the some of the staff they have. The chefs, I want to take home with me though.

I had a great stay at Hotel Val All Inclusive! The service was excellent, the food options were delicious with a lot of variety, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the all-inclusive experience made everything super convenient. The only downside was that there was no light on the balcony, which made it hard to enjoy the space in the evenings. Other than that, everything was wonderful and I’d definitely stay again!

The reception and cleaning staff were very good. Restaurant staff must have hada hard season. Food was the worst I've ever experienced. All hot food cold normal light bulbs above hot plates. Only saw animation team when they ate their meals.

The hotel is clean and tidy but is in need of an update . We hadn’t read any reviews before booking so can only blame ourselves. If you are elderly or have mobility issues , it’s not necessarily the hotel for you! No lifts and lots of steps ! The hot food at lunch and dinner were disappointing but it saved the waistline from expanding 😂 The pool is lovely but the access into the sea is not easy. No beach towels provided , but we used our room towels. A sea taxi very nearby to take you into Trogir which is definitely worth a visit , a lovely ancient town with narrow cobbled streets and dozens of restaurants with lots of choice. If you’re a foody this is not the hotel for you but there are restaurants within a very short walk of the hotel !

Fabulous location. Hotel entrance, was dark, depressing and dated. We always found something to eat, but must admit breakfast was very unusual, ie sprout and cauliflower. The sweets were a pleasure. We loved Trogir, fabulous place and a must see. We used the water taxi, 8 euros return. To walk takes over 30 minutes. Overall the hotel requires renovation, although our room, number 506 was clean and comfortable. The views from our balcony were breathtaking. The whole site includes lots of steps, possibly problematic for folk with difficulties. Apart from the pool area a concrete platform provides sunbathing area and access to the sea. Steel ladders enable swimmers to get in and out, but are slippery and possibly hazardous. The staff were good, a special mention to Ady. Whereas Leonardo alias ‘Happy Harry’ serving at the outside bar…..well! He was just rude. Also on some afternoons the outside bar was closed. We loved Croatia and intend to return, but not to Hotel Val.

This is a 3-star hotel so expectations were that we would be staying in an average hotel however if it wasn't for the location it would definitely be a 2 star. The room was clean if a little dated but we had ants all over the balcony and at one point my wife had a man brushing them off her back when we were queuing for our meal. You are paying for the view only NOT the service, amenities, entertainment (unless you are French) or the food. Service; all the staff were pleasant with the exception of Leonardo on the terrace bar. He never once made eye contact let alone interacted with either of us when we went for a drink, but did with the French and Croatians. Mustiko was lovely as were all the Indonesian staff. The room was 'cleaned' daily. When I say 'cleaned ' I mean they folded the bed sheet and emptied the bin. Wedding get clean towels once. end of. Amenities; None. Entertainment; The animation team got the crowd going every evening. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy or take part as it was all in French so couldn't understand what was being said. This was a shame because there was nothing else to do in the hotel so we missed out greatly. Food; The food! Pros - Beautifully cooked beef/pork, both in delicious sauces. Fresh bread daily. Nice selection of sweets. Cons - Cauliflower or sprouts for breakfast. Deep fried greasy french toast. Leftover meat from dinner used for tea. Powdered mashed potato which was a wet slop. Powdered egg for the scrambled eggs. Pasta pasta pasta. Cheap coffee and only hot vendored powdered milk available for tea drinkers. The cocktail drinks are from a machine so not what you would expect a cocktail to be, more like a cheap watered down version. This hotel is sea front but not beach front. There simply isn't a beach but a concrete concourse with steps provided into the water. It has a few little concreted platforms along the walkway with sun loungers, if your lucky enough to get one. The area is beautiful, having the marina and Trogir (a must-visit) not far with easy access in regular taxi boats and in the opposite direction is a very calm relaxed selection of small stone beaches and shops. Just past these through the woods is a cove, perfect for swimming and fish spotting. A kingfisher nearly landed on my head! We even had a visiting Praying Mantis in our room. So....don't expect much from the hotel and you won't be disappointed. The view however is cracking overlooking Cîovo.

My problem is where to start. On arrival my Friend and I on being told that our room was on the second floor asked if someone could take the case up....simple request (we are both pensioners)...answer - not a service that they provided !!! So if it had not been for a lovely man who took pity on us we would have struggled... so thank you whoever you are...into our room - no fridge - no tea or coffee making facilities and no safe for valuables at this point we went for lunch...now to say it was a restaurant I feel gives the impression that the food would be reasonable .. mashed potato was powered and when put on your plate it was a slop..awful the rest of the meals followed in the same fashion Omelette for breakfast that you could bounce on the floor..veg as a breakfast option and I mean carrots etc ..so much so that we ate out at the caravan park along the road where the food was amazing. As for the wine .... if you want water in your wine then fine we again agreed that it was easier to take the water taxi and go to Trogir. We arrived on a Thursday and when we had had no clean towels by Monday I went to ask why not....answer The washing machine was not working but someone would try to get us something... they did thankfully but if you do the fluffy towels bit then these were certainly not to your liking... a tad thin and hard. Now at my age I have travelled over many continents and stayed in many hotels...NEVER have I experienced such bad food and wine as this hotel which in reality is in a beautiful spot and has a lot going for it. If anyone should say that this place had a Chef then I give up. My advice is think long and hard before booking this hotel it is not for the faint hearted.

Staff is excellent. Every encounter, service, and also Eklata animation team were amazing . I do not have enough words for their engagement, effort and kindness . For all the animation activities. I can not say this for the food. Not tasty, many things are frosen ( cevapici for example etc...),not decently cut, but apparently not inviting...in the rooms you can smell mold...many things unkempt . It would be ok for the cheaper price , specially it is too expensive for three star .

My worst nightmare. Buyer beware. There are 2 Jadran hotels, same name, entirely different locations. Taxi driver took me to wrong location. Then taxi back to right location. Euro 120 later and late. Hotel old, dated and inconvenient if you have luggage. Rooms very basic, not unlike my Grandmother's guest cottage, complete with English print on the wall and fabric from the 60s at the windows. They had held a plate for me as a late arrival. School dinner plate covered in foil. 5 types of meat and a hunk of bread. Not a vegetable in sight. Surly dining room attendant who was no less surly the following moment. Just an awful experience. Never again. Lesson learned.

Hotellet har bra läge och fantastisk utsikt. Vänlig personal. Acceptabla priser, helt ok mat, gammal inredning. Dock är det för få personal och dåligt organiserat i matsalen, väldigt bullrigt. Förväntningarna motsvarar hotells priser. Bra boende för några dagar, samma maträtter återkommer.
