Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel

tento hotel nejen že splnil naše očekávání ale nastavil latku hodně vysoko,vše na 5* úrovni de facto není co vytknout ,jedna znašich nejlepších dovolených ,určitě se zase opět vrátíme ,děkujeme celému personálu hotelu za příjemnou dovolenou

V hotelu jsem byl ubytován koncem června před jeho slavnostním oficiálním otevřením. Hotel byl z velké části již dokončen a to co se dodělávalo, nijak zásadně hosty nerušilo. Pobyt jsem objednával přímo na webu hotelu a chtěl bych tímto poděkovat i recepci za přidělení pokoje, dle mého přání. Chtěl jsem pokoj ve vyšším patře s pěkným výhledem, který byl opravdu prvotřídní. Jak na moře, tak i na pohoří Biokovo, které je prakticky hned za hotelem (přesně tak, jak je na oficiálních fotografiích hotelu). Tento hotel má velké pokoje, což nebývá úplně běžné, doporučil bych pokoj typu Luxury a rozhodně pobyt s polopenzí. Jídlo bylo výborné se spoustou specialit. Příjemné bylo, dát si ke snídani i skleničku Prosseca a začít den trochu jinak. Hotel je prostorný a hodně se zde dbá na profesionalitu a detaily, což hodně dotváří celkový dojem. Na recepci vše fungovalo perfektně, zavazadla doručena na pokoj atd., prostě vše, co bych u hotelu 5* očekával. Hodně mi tento hotel připomínal hotel Ambasador 5* v Opatiji. Ručníky a lehátka jak u bazénu, tak na vyčleněném dílu pláže jsou v ceně ubytování. Hotel ještě dokončoval restauraci/bar na střeš hotelu. Byl jsem se tam podívat a to byl opravdu velice krásný výhled na moře a hory. Do Chorvatska jezdím cca 20 let a tento hotel a to ještě nebylo úplně vše dokončeno patří k tomu nejlepšímu, kde jsem zde byl, přičemž porovnám stejné kategorie hotelů. Ještě bych upozornil na dobrou polohu hotelu, který je na okraji Makarské, byl zde poměrně klid, otevřený prostor a proudila zde energie, což se nedá říci o středu Makarské, která na mne působila stísněně a bylo zde velice hodně lidí. Hotel určitě stojí za opakovanou návštěvu.

We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of the summer holidays as a family with 2 children. The hotel is beautiful, always smells lovely and overall had a luxury feel to it. Our sea view room was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. Beds comfortable and quiet - we slept really well. You could choose to have the room cleaned, if not they would gift you with a surprise left at the door. We stayed half board and the breakfast was always delicious, the dining room was really tastefully decorated and we had unlimited Prosecco. The dinner was varied each night- plentiful, flavoursome and always was replenished. The dining staff work really hard and we never had a problem with ordering drinks although it would have been nice to have not been charged €6 for a bottle of water. The rooftop bar is so beautiful and we enjoyed several evenings up there when our kids were in the games room. The beach area was nice, people do try to reserve sun beds but we saw staff actively trying to prevent this and we didn’t have a problem finding beds in the morning. Same with the pool lots of sun beds. One thing I would like to highlight is the lack of security in this hotel. Every day there would be a group of young lads who I presume are locals, who would come and cause chaos in the pool area, jumping off the little bridge and generally annoying others who have paid good money to stay at this hotel. I did bring this up with the pool staff but they turned a blind eye. Anyone can walk in from the street as the gates are not locked, key coded or manned. We did wonder if people could also just walk into the restaurant and eat as we were only asked for our room card at the entrance from the hotel, not the outside. I think this is the only thing that lets this hotel down. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful and even found us a plug adapter as we left ours at home. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel caters towards families, if you are a couple who wants a relaxing stay this is probably not the hotel for you. Our kids loved it and had the best time swimming in the sea and pool every day. Overall a really lovely stay, good facilities for families and the area is just stunning. We would come back to this hotel, if the security was improved.

This hotel was not luxury for us, the lobby is beautiful but that’s it, our room was spacious but the bed was not properly made when we arrived, the housekeeping staff seems lazy because they never cleaned our room properly nor made the bed back properly. If you’re a couple that likes a quiet vacation this is not the place, there are no adult only pool, kids were in every pool, kids running and playing on the floors also, at breakfast everything was always cold. We tried to have a romantic dinner at the hotel restaurant but people showed up with their kids ruining it for us. The only positive thing about this hotel was Ana at check in, she was very nice and informed us about everything we can do, the breakfast waiter staff was also very nice and even the waiter at the restaurant on the 7 floor. We had to bring up our suitcases by ourselves and down again for check out, luxury hotels usually do that, was frustrating for my husband because the elevators are so small and always busy. Overall this is not a bad hotel, just didn’t fit our standards for luxury and 5 stars and I can only recommend this hotel to families.

Not a 5 star. Shocking service. Dirty rooms. One pineapple in the entire hotel when we asked for a Pina colada. Most drinks missing from the bar. Avoid this hotel.
