Matilde Beach Resort

“3 Stat complex with added extras”

This was my first time to Croatia and so I didn’t know what to expect so my expectations were low, I am usually a 5star kind of girl. I would recommend booking your apartment directly with the complex rather than using Booking.com etc, this is what I did and it was so easy, the team in reception were so happy to help with our questions and requests for rooms to be close ti facilities etc. We went for 3 1 bed sea view apartments and the views were to die for looking over the islands and harbour. This complex backs onto the beach and the lively beach promenade. I’ve seen some people complaining about the noise that comes from the beach bars and yes due to the close proximity you can here the music from your balcony, however, once you are inside with doors and windows shut I could not hear a thing. Apartments have all you need for a self catering stay, Table and chairs for 4, sofa bed and tv in front part, small kitchenette, with kettle/ coffee machine, sink, hob, fridge and cutlery. Bedroom had double bed, bed linen desk and wardrobe, with door out to the balcony. Beach towels are provided on request from reception, bathroom towels were changed several times over the 5 day stay and plenty of toilet roll. Beds are not made or linen changed only once a week. Hairdryers can be borrowed from reception. Pool was lovely for a refreshing dip but not heated, plenty of sun loungers around the pool but think they would be better investing in either some cushions for the plastic loungers or replacing them all with the rotten type of beds we found these a lot more comfortable. There is no pool bar as such but there is a waiter that will take drink orders however, there is limited “snake” type food available maybe just a potion of fries. However, there are plenty of bars and food places on the beach to eat. Beach is a public beach but if you are staying at the apartments the loungers are free. Lovely location with a short walk into the centre of Vodice via the lovely Harbour.where you can pose in front of the luxury boats. There are also supermarkets close by to get anything you need. The distance from the airport is around 100 euros for an hours taxi ride. The complex has a restaurant on site that serves breakfast between 730 to 1030 normal buffet type breakfast no omelettes or freshly made eggs but plenty of food to eat. A little manic between 9 and 1030 but chilled if you go earlier. The restaurant in the evening doesn’t have a large selection of food but what we tried was very nice. All the staff most helpful from helping us book restaurant’s or taxis etc. So to sum up, this little apartment complex exceeded all my expectations and more. Thank you all employees at the Matilde beach for making this family holiday one of the best we have had.

“Cozy oasis but cocktails are scam and rooms are not cleaned”

Two sides of the coin: Matilde resort is a cozy peaceful oasis in the middle of insane crowds in Vodice. However 1) we had to leave this oasis to get coffee (because even for breakfast they serve only powder coffee), and 2) to get drinks (cocktails at the bar are an expensive scam). And 3) they do… more

However 1) we had to leave this oasis to get coffee (because even for breakfast they serve only powder coffee), and 2) to get drinks (cocktails at the bar are an expensive scam). And 3) they do not change the sheets and towels in your room either. Pity: they could have earned so much by offering decent drinks instead of expensive empty ice….
