Arancini Residence

Wow! I’d read this was a hidden gem and indeed it is! Stayed for 5 nights at this stunning hotel! First time in Croatia and my friend and I were lucky to reserve the 2 bedroom apartment with balcony and sea view and wow it was stunning! Has everything you need. We stayed bed and breakfast - the breakfast was amazing! The location is perfect with a short 5/10 min walk down to the marina where there are plenty of restaurants and some lovely bars. We ate at Harry’s a few times who served the best chicken caesar salad! Lungo Mare cocktail bar also served the best cocktails. We took a boat trip to Krka waterfalls which was amazing! Cost us 70 euros each and that included entrance into the waterfalls and lunch on the boat. We also took the bus to Zadar and experienced the sea organ by sunset - stunning. The bus cost approximately 20 euros return. All in all a fabulous 5 night break and would highly recommend this hotel and location. Special thanks to the guy (unfortunately did not get his name) who worked behind the bar as he was so lovely and professional - a credit to the hotel.

We had a great trip thanks to excellent accommodation, great service by Marina & the team, and location of Arancini Residence was quite superb (if you wish for less crowded area still within 5-10mins walk from beach, town centre and groceries stores). The overall quality of the hotel was beyond our expectation considering the price payed, the family room/apartment was fully renovated and equipped for our needs, and we had a great large balcony with town & sea view. The small pool was very appreciated by our kids and the morning buffet was sufficiently varied and with both savory/sweet and healthy options. While no lunch/dinner service was offeret, a full-day open bar was excellent and everything was tidy. Even small gym and massage studio was appreciated. And finally, free electric car charging was not expected but greatly appreciated.

This is a hidden gem in Vodice! We absolutely LOVED this apart/hotel. We stayed in the two bedroom with sea view and balcony and it was perfect! Spacious, clean, yummy breakfast, friendly staff and a quick 5 min walk to town! All with parking!! Would highly recommend this to everyone!

Very nice, small and very clean hotel. Rooms were cosy and well equipped. Location is quiet but still near (500m) from the beach and restaurants. Ample parking available and easy to reach by car from the main road. No need to drive through narrow roads. Please note that google maps does not show the best route available, it is best to take the turn next to the sports dome. Staff is very helpful and kind. Breakfast served buffet style and with sufficient selection.

We stayed at the Arancini in September '24 and had one of the most enjoyable holidays in a long time. The welcome we received on the first night was amazing. We arrived somewhat late after a long drive from Split. We were tired and hungry but no worries, with a welcoming smile from Marina in reception herself and Eva looked after us. Although the kitchen had just closed Martina alerted her colleagues in the kitchen and some wonderful food appeared and Eva gladly served it up to us with the reassurance there was no problem , no worry, take your time and enjoy. After that, we collapsed into a large comfortable soft bed for a relaxing sleep. The next morning we were treated to a spectacular breakfast - spoiled for choice such was the wonderful selection. The following 7 days was spent by the beautiful pool taking it easy in the quiet surroundings which was just a ten minute walk from the beach. Thank you to all of the wonderful team at the Arancini Hotel for a wonderful holiday - we hope to make a return visit, Best Regards, P&P
