Overpriced apartment
We (family of 5 with 3 children) have traveled in Croatia for 11 years and we are in love with the Makarska riviera and the small villages between Omis and Makarska.
We had already spent 2 wonderful weeks in the most amazing apartments for almost the same price (cheaper than this) on the Makarska riviera before arriving in Villa Divina. After reading the feedbacks from other guests, seeing the pictures and reading the descriptions in the add, our expectations were extremely high. Unfortunately they were not fulfilled...
The view is spectacular, but you will find the same view along the whole riviera.
The pictures in the add doesn’t show that the common parking and main road to the other villas is just outside Villa Divina, making a lot of noise and passing traffic. The pool is not very private in that matter and also dirty.
The private beach is fine, but you will find the same beaches along the whole riviera, even less crowded than this “privat” one. Note that the beach is 260 steep stair steps down. Stones on the beach are really painful to walk on without shoes. The public pebble beaches have softer and more round stones, and you will find them in nearby villages. It is a huge difference!
The pictures in the add doesn’t show that the villa is surrounded by old half finished buildings making it look like a small ghost town.
The apartment is clean, big and with modern furnish. However, it’s lacking the final “touch” making it more welcome and comfortable. For example: there were no soap in the bathrooms or kitchen (even if the add said there would be), the kitchen sink was almost broken and a lot of the kitchenware were either half broken or dirty. We didn’t get enough towels or beddings for all of us, so some had to share the first night.
We did not receive the warm welcome other guests have described and we had a hard time understanding the host (maybe because we only speak English and not German?).
Even though the add said there would be a washing machine available, you have to pay 50 Kuna to use it- we have never experienced that before! We also had to pay to use the kajak at the beach.
The WiFi is bad and there’s no DVD-player as said in the add.
Note that this is all compared to all the other amazing places we have stayed at the last 11 years, in the same area. We have had extremely welcoming hosts doing everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. It was therefore disappointing spending our last days here.
