Spongiola — Hotel in Grad Šibenik

The Spongiola is a lovely hotel. I have never stayed anywhere so pretty! The location is a beautiful, unspoiled island set on crystal clear, transparent waters that can only be reached by boat. Wonderful. The hotel has a private beach and its own water taxi.||||The rooms are very spacious and quiet (I saw 3 rooms where my friends stayed). Some with sea view and balcony. I had a fully stocked fridge, bathtub and safe. The hotel has a small bar and very lovely food in the restaurant. I had breakfast every morning and 3 evening meals. The food was always very fresh and the fish was especially good. The bread and fruit was delicious and the portion sizes were huge. Evening meal was usually 4 courses and I agree with other reviews, the hotel chef is very good. There were always plenty of staff to help with requests and I can honestly say that my experience of the hotel service was excellent.||||The hotel has a plunge pool, gym and two massage tables. The massage I had was very good. Evening drinks outside the hotel overlooking the sea was very nice.||||The hotel is footsteps away from a small village shop, ice cream shop, picturesque bars over looking the sea and restaurants. You can walk around the island in less than an hour and you can swim around it easily. You can book a diving course from the hotel with the local dive boat and every day I saw fisherman bringing home their catch. There is even a museum of sponges on the island and the hotel itself has lots of interesting photography from times gone by (when the hotel was a sponge warehouse!!) If you want to leave the island it takes less than 10 minutes to reach the shore by the hotel sea taxi which is free and available whenever you are ready. ||||I was very impressed with the airport taxi booking service from the hotel. I enjoyed my 7 day stay...

An amazing experience from the moment you ring the hotel to be picked up. 2 minutes later somebody helps you to park your car on the main land, helps you to carry your luggages to the hotel boat and after a short crossing you arrive on the beautiful island of Krapanj where you are greeted by a fantastic staff. The hotel was built on an old sponge factory in 2005 in respect of the island history and integrates a museum dedicated to the sponge harvesting. There are 200 official inhabitants on the island, the few who stay here all year round. Before 1960, Krapanj had up to 2000 inhabitants but most moved since to the mainland when the coastal road was built, People around are proud of this history and ready to share it with you. The hotel offers a fantastic diving center in respect of this diving heritage. One diver of Krapanj holds the world record of apnée diving under ice. Beach with bar, wellness center, indoor swimming pool, great restaurant,... All you need is here. Great stay. An hour walk takes you around the island where you will appreciate a marvelous sun set or rise and beautiful views over the surrounding islands. There are additional bars and restaurants on this car...

We spent 4 days in paradise.Is really hard to find the words to describe our experince with this beautiful hotel and people who work there.It’s not just about the hotel it’s about the feeling.Hotel is beautiful,extremely clean and has everything you need for perfect vacation.It’s on the beautiful location right at the beach,rooms are really nice,prices really normal.Food in the hotel restaurant is top class.But all this is not the most important thing,the most important thing about this hotel is that from the moment you enter you feel like you came home.People who work there are big family and they also want you to feel part of that family. From the owner to the maid, everyone works as a team to make the guest feel like they belong there.I was there with my son and my dog(yes they are extremely pet friendly) and we were very sad when we had to leave but for sure we will be coming back. My most sincere recommendations for this hotel and the island of Krapanj, you stole my...
