“tiny air-conditioned rooms with Croatian idea of 'all inclusive'”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010
5
people found this review helpful

The hotel is located right behind the beach. It is reachable by ferry from the town of Ploce, but also by car over the road on the Peljesac peninsula. I took the road-trip. The road is pretty narrow, with lots of curves, so it wasn't very pleasant for my children (5 & 6 y.o.). Parking was a lottery, and I won a place in a sunny spot. Some other were not so lucky.
BEACH
Great, clean, warm water, excellent to swim in. The pebble-beach is only meters from the hotel, and it is not very big. It is not as nearly clean as the beach in Brela, or Zivogosce, which annoyed me a bit.
RECEPTION STAFF
THe check-in was pretty quick, but all the time later on, the staff at the reception was somewhat uninterested in their guests. They seemed like sleepy, with slow answers, like... absent or something. Never seen something like that before. At the end of vacation I wanted to pay for the baby-bed my child used during the vacation, and it took them over 30 minutes to finish that, they seemed completely incompetent.
ROOMS and CLEANLINESS
The room was very small, and with an additional baby-bed it was virtually impossible to move in it. Luckily, it is air-conditioned, and has the sea-view with a small balcony, which partly compensates for the room size.
The maid entered the room only to change the towels. She never cleaned the ceramic-tile floor, nor the balcony. Only after I asked for the additional soaps and shower-gels did she start to bring them in. We also lacked a pillow, and they said that they didn't have any more "because they had a lot of guests" (*?????). I found it ourageous to have to sleep without a pillow all during the vacation!!! Either don't try to put so many guests into the hotel, or buy a couple of more pillows!!! The sheats on the beds wer not changed all the time during our one-week's stay at the hotel. I find this also outrageous.
THE FOOD.
Breakfast: not much of a choice: bread, cheese, jams, butter, margarine, salami, coffe, milk, cereals.
Lunch: 3 cooked sorts of meal, five sorts of salads, free non-alcoholic drinks (with an awful taste, you could see that it is just a diluted sirup with added CO2), soup, and for desert some dry cakes and ice-cream. THe fruit was fresh, though. One day my wife found uncleaned fish was being served for lunch, with bowels and all inside of it. We returned it to the chef. I wonder if he can eat something like that...
Dinner - same as lunch.
ANIMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT
One local guy and one resident animator from Chech republic tried their best, but it was nowhere near the Turkish concept of animation. I guess I could not expect more from the Croatians. The kids got their kicks with mini-disco, though.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Some ridiculously pricy outings by boat. I still can't believe how much Croatians want to get paid for a lousy service.
I'd rather reccommend you to go to Turkey for the vacation. The Croatians still have a lot to learn about tourism.

“Stunning Views - Hope the Roads are finished soon!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2009

Lovely hotel in what is usually a quiet scenic town but at the time of our visit the main road from harbour to the hotel was being dug up!! Local businesses told us that this work should have been completed by April 09 but when we visited in June 09 it looked like it was not long started! The town has stunning views over the sea to the mainland of Croatia. The hotel was very comfortable - we had a large double room with a balcony overlooking the sea. Pool area was very nice and clean, only the diggers put us off spending a lot of time here! However all roadworks seemed to cease about 2pm so after that was fine. Until 2pm we found a nice walk the other side of the harbour where you can swim in the sea - very relaxing! Breakfast was fine - the usual bread, cheese and ham but with an omelette too! We found an excellent fish restaurant called "Ribar" just off the side street beside the hotel. The owner is a fisherman and the fish were all freshly caught that day - add to this organically grown vegetables from his garden and you get a great meal. They really looked after us and gave us free desserts also. Give it a try - you wont be disappointed - all for under £35 for two and this included wine and drinks! We would go to Trpanj again and stay at Hotel Faraon - only I hope the road is finished!!!!

“Excellent Spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2008

person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Hotel Faraon 26 - 28 Jul 08. Overall it was an excellent experience. Staff were friendly and professional and the facility was clean and well kept. Hotel is located next to the sea and a pebble beach. Surprisingly (I'm used to sand) the beach was alright to lay on just a blanket although many used different forms of padding. Breakfast was included but limited to eggs, one choose of meat, cereal, buns, cheese and one type of cold cut meat. Certainly good enough to get the day started. Pool area appeared to be well maintained but I spent all of my time at the beach. Water was very clear. Only down side would be limited vehicle parking, overflow was approximately 500 meters away. Also there was no shampoo in the rooms. Everything else was great!
Hotel is located in town with several restaurants located just down the road approximately 200 - 300 meters. Overall an excellent experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

  • Liked — All rooms overlooked the sea and hotel was located in a small town
