First of all, this review is for the Gala Annex building which is a subpar building beside the San Antonio hotel. We arrived thinking we were in the main building but did not realize this was a separate building. - breakfast was awful, we only had a bit the first day, and we ended up throwing majority of it out as it was disgusting and awful - rooms in gala annex were awful, shag carpeting which was disgusting, bathroom floors were dirty, hair in the shower and AC barely worked. - hallways and rooms smelled musty and by the second day smelled of fecal/sewage smell - we luckily were able to transfer/had to pay 112 euro a day for a room in the main San Antonio building for the rest of our stay. This was a good building, room was clean, sea view room and we were lucky we were even able to be upgraded as the hotel was sold out. - location is good for beach days as the hotel is right on the beach however it is in podstrana which is one road in and one road out into Split. If you plan on going for dinner or trips into Split you need to plan accordingly and early for an Uber, a 9km ride took us one hour one day and was awful, - if planning on never leaving the hotel then it is fine however not many other food options around - parking was free however very tight and hard to move around or even get a spot. Seems that many people just park here for the beach who aren’t staying at the hotel, they should consider having the arm to the lot down with a key card for hotel guests only for use Overall, once upgraded our experience was better however if we didn’t have that option or experience in split would have been absolutely awful. gala annex building should really be listed as a separate hotel which would be merely 2 stars if that. It was very deceptive that it fell under the san Antonio’s 4 star rating. It was a HORRIBLE middle section to our honeymoon. Would never recommend. **to note we did ask the front desk for help and suggestions as to how to improve our stay and they said “this is what you booked and is your problem** they did not provide free upgrade or anything!!!
