What a lovely town, Omis in Croatia is. From the start we were impressed with this seaside resort, with a beautiful old town to explore. Even in October, we were blessed with very good weather and high temperatures. We stayed at Hotel Plaza, Omis, which had just about everything you could need, however, no swimming pool, but then you don't need one, with the Hotel almost on the lovely beach. The staff were so helpful and pleasant. The beach is not the usual sand, further up the shore, rather a pea sized pebble shore. The sea is absolutely clean and clear. We liked the easy-going bars along the beach, where you can relax with your favourite tipple, or soft drinks. The hotel has a Jacuzzi and sun lounge on the roof, although we didn't try this facility. The food is the standard faire, with English and continental offerings for breakfast, on a buffet basis, as is the evening offering, though the hotel has a cocktail bar, and its own full service, al-a-cart offering at the Pirate Tavern, which is adjacent, offering European and Croatian dishes. At the time of writing, (October 23), there is civil engineering work been carried out on the harbour promenade, about 150 metres away, so did get noisy between the hours of 7:30 am and 3pm. (Excluding Sundays). If you can get a street side room at the front of the hotel, you can't hear the sound so much, though there is a school opposite which is slightly loud when the children are out. Hey, it's a town centre, so it's to be expected. Top Tip, keep the windows locked tight shut, or the air conditioning won't come on. Omis is a beautiful town with lots to see. Great bars, cafés and shops. We booked a 40-minute canyon river cruise up the Cetina River, which is stunning and well worth it. The best restaurant in our view is Cocopazzo Wine & Dine Bar in the old town.
