If you need safety for your family, hotel Amabilis does not apply to this. I'ts scary to go near him, not to mention his visit. August 13, 2023, terrible incident in the parking lot of this hotel happened. An employee of the hotel parking Amabilis Hotel, an elderly man in the middle of the white day, attacked me and my family with a huge kitchen knife. I managed to close the doors in the car, and thank God, I remained alive with my three-year-old daughter. Only the car was injured. A hotel parking worker scratched the door of my car with a knife and pierced the wheel. Thank God we are alive and the wheel is replaced. The police arrived and said that you can go to court, but you will not prove anything. The hotel staff refused to help at the reception and just kicked us out of the hotel and from the parking area. They refused to call the police and they kicked us out to hide their employees' attack on us. Passers-by helped us call the police and helped with changing the wheel. There are a lot of witnesses to this besprilin, but a rich hotel can buy everyone and hide the traces of the attack. The reason for the attack is a stop in their parking lot for 5 minutes. My wife was driving and drove into one of the free spaces in this parking lot without prohibited signs. To transfer the older child with things to the coach very close to the sports camp "Hostel Karlovak". Her was gone for exactly 5 minutes, but the hotel employee of the Amabilis Hotel started to force me to leave the parking lot. I politely asked to wait a few minutes without disturbing anyone, as there were many empty spaces in the parking lot. But the employee started insulting me and pushing me on the eyes of my three-year-old daughter. I didn't use force, but in a rude voice asked me not to touch with my hands. After that, the man ran into the hotel restaurant and a few minutes later returned with a huge kitchen knife and began to poke the window with a knife and scratch the car door and cut the wheel. There were many witnesses to the incident, but no one called the police. I regret that I didn't immediately calm him down by force until he brought a knife.I just asked the hotel employee to stand in this parking lot for 5 minutes, as my wife moved away and she is the driver. I know how to drive a car and could leave even without documents, but on this line for many kilometers there's no free space re-park, and it is also impossible to turn on the emergency parking, as I would block a very narrow road and create an emergency. We are in Croatia for the first time, and we were upset by this situation. Maybe the hotel is beautiful and comfortable with 5 stars and the owner of the hotel just doesn't know that a mentally ill person works for him who can attack people with a kitchen knife, I...
Read moreThe problem in Croatia, ok maybe that's unfair, I will be more specific, the Croatian coast, is the lack of professional staff. The main contributing fact is this area is very seasonal. The effect is that key staff are no more than part time. So this being said, my review should be read as constructive criticism and not simply criticism. The hotel itself rates 5*. People who travel internationally will expect therefore this 5 star level of infrastructure and importantly, service. Immediately I found the room to boast nothing more to be found in a 3 star. A double bed, a balcony, tv, and bathroom. There is no separate living area that one would expect. Storage are for cloths etc is average. The electrical sockets are cheap and coming out the wall. This is not just unsightly but also unsafe. There was no facility in the room to make your own beverage so one could sit on the balcony drinking an early coffee and enjoying the sunrise. In addition there was no complementary news paper delivered to the door in the morning. The bathroom door has no lock for privacy. Some people do indeed like to lock the door when using a toilet. There was also no proper shaving socket that has a standard 110/220 outlet with the addition of a hair dryer. All that is there is a simple 220v European outlet with no rating expected in a humid bathroom environment. The ventilation in the bathroom is also poor with all mirrors being steamed up and a bathroom ending up more like a steam room. The room basically felt cheaply put together in the smallest area afforded to 5 star accommodation. The evening meal was also challenged due to the unprofessional staff who are not trained to the standard expected and the ment in turn was as bland and uninspired as typical of the menu in the country. Yes there is a few exceptions. This not being one. On asking for the desert menu I was offered the same as can be found in any cafe and nothing more, pancakes with a cheap array of topping. Why oh why is this all that can be offered even in a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was as typically boring as any hotel could offer. And not even a means to make your own coffee or tea. Very unusual. I had to wait for someone to appear to make one at the bar. The one and only redeeming quality this hotel offers is the beach front location with a fantastic view. All in all I would give this hotel a 3 star rating. The sad thing is all its lacking can be easily fixed (apart from the small rooms) with small investment and also better staff worthy of a...
Read moreI was looking for a hotel to make a stop on my way back from Split to Nice (France). ||||I am in a wheelchair and travel on my own, so I needed to find a place that was wheelchair accessible, but I didn’t want to stay in one of those big impersonal resorts you can find everywhere in Croatia. ||||I found the Amabilis Hotel via Booking.com, and I definitely did not regret my choice! ||||The property is right in front of the sea, on the coast line and the beach, I mean literally! Inside the building, everything is white: the lobby, the restaurant / bar, and of course the room. ||||The room I took had everything I could expect: ||||- A breathtaking sea view from the balcony ||- A comfortable king-size bed ||- A large connected TV screen ||- A minibar ||- A coffee machines ||||When I arrived, the check in was fast, a ‘welcome fruit plate’ was brought to my room just 5 minutes after I arrived. ||||The restaurant is excellent and cheap considering the quality of the food, and the breakfast is very good (in particular their – somehow - local Urmashitsa cakes). ||||I felt welcomed by the friendly staff who was very helpful and made their utmost to provide me with the best possible experience and decided to extend a bit my stay for a second night. ||||I will certainly come back and stay in the hotel again next time I come to Croatia, and can encourage everyone to make...
