Church of St. Martin Tours and Activities

Hotel is in a quiet area, if you want to head into Zadar city centre you can't walk but Ubers are cheap. Plenty of seating by the pool and in the bar. The hotel is right on the coast, which is a nice walk and the view of the sun set from there is beautiful. The dining options tend to be same for lunch and dinner. Room looked slightly old fashioned but the bed was comfortable, clean and the shower was good.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights and easily could have done another 5. The bedroom was wonderfully kept and I enjoyed every minute in and by the pool, on the nearby Borik beach and swimming in the sea. Somehow they got wind that it was my birthday the day before we left, and left a card and present in the bedroom. I used the little bit of Croatian I'd learned and hotel staff were encouraging and positive about this, though they were excellent in English, and I assume in German and Italian too. The old city is excellent for restaurants, interesting old churches, and the archeology museum. But if you're not driving your only option is to book taxis as there is not much public transport to speak of. I don't hold it against the hotel of course but a bus service would really make a difference. I was very impressed by the buffet dining, and great coffee and other drinks available from the Tramontana bar (a wider selection of beers would be nice though - maybe Karlovačko crno?). Unfortunately my girlfriend had food-poisoning, she thinks from a bad mussel in the hotel restaurant, so be careful with those. One of the reception staff instructed us on where to find the nearest pharmacy, who were very helpful. On the whole we'd definitely consider staying again and were sad to say 'zbogom'.
