Valamar Meteor Hotel

Really good choice！

The Valamar Meteor hotel was in a great location right by the beach and near the old town. The view was nice and the room was clean. Breakfast is also great !! The sunset is beautiful !!

Excellent service within the Valamar Meteor hotel, rich and diverse playroom for all ages, special praise for the Maro club staff, especially Zvona & Elena!The animators are professional and helpful. Both girls are delighted, this is our 5th visit and we will come again! Many thanks to Mrs. Maja, Jelena & Mr. Ivankovic! greetings and stay the best!

We recently stayed at the Valamar in Makarska, about an hour and a half drive from Split airport. The journey itself was a treat, with stunning views of the mountains on one side and the sparkling Adriatic Sea on the other – a beautiful start to our holiday. We visited in the off-season, so everything was quiet and peaceful – perfect for a family of six looking to unwind. We opted for the half-board package, which included breakfast and dinner. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, including the amenities, which were well maintained. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but very clean and came with a gorgeous balcony view that more than made up for the size. While the outdoor pool wasn’t open due to the season, the indoor heated pool was massive and lovely – a big hit with the kids! The sauna was a nice touch too, and everything was kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach – though it's pebbly, the water is crystal clear and stunning to look at. Being so close to the mountains adds to the charm, with breathtaking scenery all around. There's a long promenade for walks, and although many places were closed due to the time of year, the 5-minute walk to the marina revealed some beautiful spots and a few great restaurants. Food-wise, breakfast had plenty of options for all tastes, and dinner was freshly prepared each day with a good variety. Our kids enjoyed every meal. However, one downside was that soft drinks weren’t included with dinner despite the half-board plan. The available machine drinks were overly sweet and not well diluted – including at least basic soft drinks would have been appreciated. That said, the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay. A local supermarket was just a stone’s throw away, which made picking up essentials super convenient. One thing to note is that eating out in restaurants was surprisingly pricey – for example, we paid €18 for a simple spaghetti pomodoro. A round trip private taxi to Split cost us nearly €300 for all six of us, which felt steep. We also visited the charming town of Omis, with its gorgeous views and scenic fortress hike, but even the local bus ride added up quickly at €7 per person each way. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Valamar hotel in Makarska to friends and family. If you visit during the main season, I imagine the town comes alive with even more to offer – and I’d happily return to experience it.

We stayed at the Valamar meteor in May 2025. This hotel is a gem. It has everything you need. Indoor/outdoor pools, gym, spa, children's play area indoor and outdoor, lovely outdoor seating areas. There is no shortage of places to sit and no rush for sun beds. This might be different in peak times. We had a side sea view room and it was worth the extra money as the view was beautiful. The room was good, it had a fridge, tea/coffee facilities, safe. The bathroom had a shower over the bath and if you have mobility issues you might struggle getting in and out as it was quite a step up. The restaurant has so much choice for both breakfast and evening meal. You definitely won't be disappointed. It can get busy at times but you soon learn when the best time to go are. So much choice, fish, meat, pasta, salads, breads, cakes, fruit, soft drinks, hot drinks, ice cream, cheeses, the list goes on. The hotels location couldn't be better. Most rooms look out to the sea. When you walk out the hotel you are on the sea front and an amazing site this is. A lovely walk into makarska. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There were pool tables/bar football/darts/gaming room and balance bikes/cars for the little ones and a soft play area. Evening entertainment was usually a singer. Nice to sit and have a drink or two. I would definitely go again and recommend both the hotel and Makarska.

This is a fantastic hotel. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say. The service received was superb from checking in to the time we left. The bedroom was comfortable and clean with a great view and the breakfast and evening dinner were terrific value with so much choice and quality, well-presented food. The hotel is well located in beautiful Makarska, right by the beach with lovely walks in all directions. Makarska is also well positioned for our day trips to Mostar (beautiful!) and Dubrovnik. All staff were friendly and helpful. Our stay at the Meteor was so relaxing and enjoyable that we will certainly be making Croatia our holiday destination again in the future and I have already recommended it to many friends.
