Top Istok Hotel Reviews

Bluesun Hotel Alga

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for families! Super busy parking lot, as expected!"

Hotel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden gem in a sea of options. A bit of a hilly walk down to the beach but after eating your weight in beach gelato-it’s a welcome jaunt to get steps in and burn off the calories. The area is a bit busy but we liked the location to get to other less crowded beaches. Breakfast was absolutely amazing-I will miss it terribly and will not be able to stomach DIY waffle makers and stale tasteless pastries in US hotels. Staff was helpful and extremely attentive."

Bluesun Hotel Berulia

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location and resort! Everything felt new, modern, and very well maintained, and the staff was great. The beach was quiet, beautiful, and never felt crowded, especially compared with Baška Voda, which is just a few-minute walk away. There’s a beautiful path along the beach that makes it easy to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, and gelato. We loved our stay at Bluesun Berulia and would definitely stay again!"

Hotel Biokovo

8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed, beautiful view of the sea, great breakfast, clean room and entire hotel, great location by the sea, walking distance to the beach, main promenade. Not well thought through and dangerous design of the access to the balcony. Door threshold is good 25 plus cm high and 20 cm wide. The balcony floor is 20 plus cm above the room floor. When you walk from the balcony to the room you are stepping well deep in. I fell badly at night with dim light. I don’t drink alcohol, do no drugs, I am in good health, I beat up myself badly. Really bad design!"

Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was our third time staying at this resort because we’ve always enjoyed it. The room was very clean, and the housekeeping staff was excellent—very friendly, professional, and attentive. However, the bar experience was disappointing. The beach bar wasn’t open during our stay, which was a big disappointment. The main bar also had issues with its system being down, and the staff seemed confused most of the time. I asked about the status of my order, and the bartender simply looked at me, said they didn’t have my order, then turned away and ignored me. The order arrived about five minutes later, making the whole situation even more confusing. For a 5-star resort, I expected a much higher level of service. Hopefully, these issues will be improved because we’ve always enjoyed staying here."
