Amadria Park Family Hotel Jakov

Great for families with small kids!

Amadria Park is a large resort with multiple hotels (including Jakov) and a camping site etc. Eerie empty this time as season with perhaps 5 kids families. Accommodates large groups and conferences to generate out of season business. Hints: Do not book suites as they are all overlooking (noisy) aqua park with limited sea view and less than ideal layout. 5 stars given exclusively for reasons of the employees - some young and inexperienced but all went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. A few hickups were managed via free upgrades and vouchers to the benefit of both guests and hotel. Contact hotel direct via email. Default pricing via website out of season much too high. Final hint: Rent a boat (150-160€/day) within the resort and go across the strait to the island Zlarin and anchor up in one of the many beautiful little bays on the south-eastern part of the island. Also possible to sail into old part Sibenik etc.

Welcome: When we arrived, we had to wait at least 45 minutes until we could check in. After a long journey(with two small hungry children), we did not need an extensive check in and therefore I think we did not have a good idea of what facilities were available. Breakfast Waiting times: -You have to fight for a table, even during times when it was indicated it would be quiet. -At one times, 3 of the 4 coffee machines were out of order. -A long queue for ‘lemonade’? No fresh juice, or, say, fresh mint or ginger for tea. -We missed out on scrambled eggs and croissants. Of course, some items may run out, however, these are the essentials of a breakfast should be available at all times. Especially since when you lose your spot from the row you have to start from the beginning again. Assortment: -Little to no variety except the fruit which was very good. Breakfast general: -We tried our best to say good morning to staff behind the buffets however we were not given a glimpse.We feel it is important to pass on to our children that you should treat someone with respect at all times but especially in the case of employees who work hard to provide service. -We saw many guests shoving pancakes, yoghurt drinks and fruit in their bags to be eaten by the pool in the afternoon. -We saw a manager making a couple of waitresses very inappropriately put them to work. -During breakfast, plates or bowls were not taken out so many tables were very messy. -Lots of unnecessary disposables being used. Bar: Also long queues and I wanted to thank the lady behind the pool bar for the drinks made. I didn't get the chance to do that, I found this really rude. The drinks were firmly at the price. Which is fine when served in a luxurious manner. However, there was no consistency in the drinks served, one time a lot the other time little, then in a glass and then from a plastic cup. Tap water that was offered was also empty at many times. Swimming pool: We found it very disappointing that there was not 1 slide present. Of course in the water park which as a hotel guest you don't even have access to there were many. But the website gives you the impression that there are plenty of opportunities to slide which is not so. In the small pool, I fell down because it was extremely slippery, leaving a bruise on my leg. I later saw others slip here too. One day, we arrived at the pool at 4:30 PM and were informed that there were no towels available. When I inquired if there might be towels at the other hotel, I was told to "try and see." I was quite frustrated, as this does not seem very service-oriented. I asked to speak with the manager, but their whereabouts were unknown. Additionally, many of the towels provided had yellow stains and/or holes. While there were plenty of sunbeds, there were far from enough umbrellas (many of which were also damaged) or shaded areas. Many guests place their towels down before breakfast, so if you arrive at the pool around 11 AM, you're left withou

We've been staying at this hotel for years, and it’s become our favorite family getaway. The staff is always welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrive. The rooms are spacious, clean, and perfect for our needs. Our kids love the pool, and there are plenty of family-friendly activities to keep everyone entertained. The on-site restaurant serves delicious meals that cater to both adults and kids, making dining easy and enjoyable. We look forward to our stay every year and can’t wait to return next year! This place truly feels like our home away from home.

The hotel is just perfect for us, for a big family everybody finds something for themselfs. The kids can play in the pool while the adults can chill and worry about nothing. We’ve been coming here for a few years now and we will definitely be seeing you next year. Thank you for the best summer.
