Hotel Osejava — Hotel in Grad Makarska

The Hotel Osejava is a great hotel in a perfect location.|However, I want to make travellers aware of rooms that they should avoid. These are the second floor rooms facing the pool. After checking in we entered our room and were faced with a wall of beautiful flowers. (These rooms are marketed as park view rooms). The room had a cigarette smell to it and was very dark. The next morning we opened our balcony door at 7 am and found a couple lying on the sun beds three feet away from us. We had no view, no privacy and no respect from people who smoke. |We went to reception and complained and were told that they had two rooms we could look at - the room above us on the third floor or a fourth floor room. We eventually accepted the fourth floor room (thanks to the British couple who let us have a peep as they were leaving the room).|It was only then that our holiday started. You will see from my photos the difference in the views from both rooms.|On a positive note -|the hotel is very, very clean and beautifully presented. The food, from breakfast, lunch to evening meal is delicious. The majority of the staff are professional and friendly. A big shout out goes to the lady at breakfast who really does an excellent job. She is friendly, professional and very hardworking. |Would I recommend this hotel? Yes I would. However, the pool is small - not meant for sitting by 24/7 but more for an early morning or late afternoon dip. Or for a nice cooling off after a busy day of sightseeing. The hotel has a policy of no sun beds to be reserved before 8 am but that rule goes out of the window and the hotel does not police this policy. I booked this hotel not expecting to see sun bed hoggers at 7 am in the morning. |In summing up I would say the Hotel Osejava is a great hotel. I would recommend it and we would stay there...

My husband and I spent 3 nights at this lovely hotel and enjoyed our stay very much. Our room was very clean and spacious. Even though it faced the front we didn’t experience any noise issues at all. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful (more on that below). Breakfast was plentiful with a variety of choice and set us up nicely for the day ahead. It is a beautiful hotel and we highly recommend it! ||We loved the location of the hotel with the small beach right next door where we enjoyed swimming in the beautiful sea. We walked everywhere. Loads of restaurants, bars and shops were nearby. ||We were actually 1 day late for our stay due to car trouble. I spoke to the lovely Ivana on the phone the day before we were supposed to arrive. She assured me our room would be available whenever we got there and our reservation wouldn’t be canceled. She was true to her word which was such a relief. I also want to give a special shout out to the young man who was working at night reception one of the nights we were there. He was very helpful in assisting my husband when he was ill and needed to go to a hospital at 1am. My husband was prepared to walk, but this lovely young man actually insisted on driving my husband to the hospital. He went above and beyond and we are extremely grateful. I only wish I knew his name to properly acknowledge him! Thankfully my husband was ok and we continued on our trip with no hiccups, but we will not forget...

Beautiful hotel with fabulous views of the harbour. We had a sea view room at the front and were never disturbed by noise. The room was large, spotlessly clean, and the beds were comfortable. Hotel staff were very friendly especially the reception staff and breakfast staff. Everything is within easy walking distance of the hotel and all flat, so easy to walk around. Perhaps the only negative is that the hotel feels like its lacking a nice formal bar area within the hotel. There is a small cafe/bar next door but I didn't find the waiters very friendly, and the wine was dreadful. This was a shame as it was a lovely walk back to the hotel in the evening to sit outside for a drink.|The small beach at the back of the hotel gets very busy but was still a great spot for a dip in the afternoon after a long walk. Boat trips are frequent to other islands and there are trips to the Biokovo Skywalk, which is well worth it. We went by Tuk Tuk which was an experience. |We had to leave before breakfast on the last day and they made a lovely packed breakfast for us to take to the airport. All in all, a lovely hotel, in a fabulous spot,|PS, its a good 2 hours from the airport and as the receptionist said "that is on a good day", however, it is a very...
