Valamar Meteor Hotel

“Exceptional Amenities and Top-Notch Service”

A hotel with excellent amenities and courteous staff dedicated to guest care. Special praise for the lady at the restaurant entrance and the lady making pizzas. Mr. Ivanković professionally resolved arrival issues. Highly recommended

“Marvelous Makarska”

Been back a week so time to review Valamar Meteor Hotel. We arrived on Saturday 19/10 at @12pm. Politely informed that our room wasn't ready (2661) & wouldn't be until 2pm.

Been back a week so time to review Valamar Meteor Hotel. We arrived on Saturday 19/10 at @12pm. Politely informed that our room wasn't ready (2661) & wouldn't be until 2pm. No problem - dumped the cases in their secure room and out onto the terrace for a drink. As we sat down the sun came out and all looked good. Met a friendly cat as well. Stunning back drop with the Biokovo mountains directly behind and cloud rolling off them. Had a quick wander around the hotel to get our bearings. All clean & well maintained. The outdoor pool is an infinity pool overlooking the seafront and promenade, which is beautiful. Theres a brilliant looking kids pool as well, with slides etc. Quick walk outside restaurants to the left & right of the exit & a few souvenir shops etc. Beach looked great - crystal clear water & literally 20m from the hotel exit. Room was ready as promised just after 2pm. Looked modern & spotlessly clean. A bit small but we did have a balcony with a partial sea/mountain view. Beds OK. Pillows adequate. One of the pillows was so soft you just sank through it. TV with a few English news channels. Wi-fI very good. Easy downloads to Netflix. Cleaned & towels changed frequently. All the staff we encountered were polite & efficient. Booked a couple of trips with the Concierge lady who was extremely helpful. Highly recommend the boat trip on Voga to Hvar & Brac (with lunch & vino). Food-wise you won't go hungry. We always found something to tempt us. Breakfast as is the norm - luke-warm at best. Evening meal (we were half board) decent. Bar prices a bit high (like most hotels) - think it was @ 5.30 euros for a beer. Places outside the cheapest we saw @ 2 Euros 500ml. Supermarkets nearby though & 6 pack of Karlovacko beer was less than £1 a can. Short walk into Makarska, which is stunning. Harbour area and old town are lovely. Bus depot is at the top of the town on the main road. Easy to use but frequency & timetable not great. We went to Omis along the coast. OK getting out but waited well over an hour for a return. Overall we loved the hotel and the area and would definitely return and recommend.

“Such a Special Place”

First time in Croatia and we made an amazing choice of hotel, from the welcome on day one to the leaving on our last morning, each day was special. Food was amazing, so much choice, both pools fabulous but best of all was the seating choices scattered throughout the grounds. The position of the hotel and views from the balcony were second to none, cant wait to come back and the icing on the cake was the beautiful weather which we did not expect in late October, well done to all staff at the Vilamar Meteor.

We are a couple in their 50s who stayed here at the end of October in the UK half term. Had a lovely stay. Just what we wanted. Quiet, pretty resort and great weather. Hotel was as expected. Tended to go to dinner slightly later after most of the families with children had finished. Plenty of food choices for the 5 nights we stayed. Half-board, so tended to fill up on breakfast then last until dinner. Room was on the small side, but comfortable and clean. Lovely balcony facing the sea with chairs and sun-loungers. Great for watching the beautiful sunsets - if you stand up, as balcony wall blocks view when sitting. (NB - I was bitten a lot by mozzies overnight in bed - take cream/repellent etc if you are prone to this). Lobby always smelt lovely. Infinity pool was nice, but I preferred the sea. Not warm but bearable! Beautiful clear water, lovely little white pebbles. (Used indoor pool once, is a good size for a decent swim, sauna nice too). Was just idyllic on the beach in the sun. Lots of space there as it was end of season and sunny and warm (22/23 degrees). Bliss! Maja was a great help with excursions - she is a real asset to the hotel. We went to the Kryna National Park / Tuk-Tuk up to the Skywalk / Boat trip out to Brac. All 3 were great trips. Glad we did these or would have got a bit bored. Boat trip - stops at various bays for you to jump in and swim - my first time with a snorkel - was lovely seeing the small and varied fishes. What a treat. Trips just coming to an end though for the season so we got in just in time. Nice promenade along the sea so managed a 5k run one day and good for a stroll along to the harbour after dinner. So overall we had a lovely holiday here, pleased with choice of hotel and we enjoyed the resort. Would return to the Croatian coast.
