Southern Croatia does not have a vast selection of top quality hotels. We stayed in the Imperial in Dubrovnik (5 star and excellent) the Park in Hvar (great boutique hotel) and wanted something reasonable for a couple of nights before flying out of Split The Meridien in Lav was full, and when we drove past it we were delighted we were not staying there as it is in a depressing and overdeveloped strip of coast.Maybe the casino is its main attraction? So the Horizont seemed the next best and we reserved it from Hvar. It looks like a communist period hotel, upgraded , modernised and now Russian owned. Was told high season guests mostly Russian, in early September mostly German, mostly package deal. A superior room with an attractive sea view was €180 for dinner B&B for two The room, with decent bath, was fine. The pool/fitness etc excellent. Breakfast not bad. Dinner OK but as the restaurant is still communist looking and lacks charm we went out the second night and had an excelllent fish dinner 100 yards away. I think in Croatia you usually get what you pay for and this place is priced fairly. However, I would not want the be in Baska Voda in high season. The resort is simply too small for the crowds if all the rooms/apartments are let out and the beach nothing to compare with the islands.

We stayed with my wife at Baska Voda 8 nights, in hotel Horizont, with HB. Becauce we visited really a great part of Croatian Adriatic hotels, we can note that Hotel Horizont is one of the best. Especially restaurant with excellent chefcook is a dominant attraction of hotel. In summer months has restaurant problems with profesional waiter, but dishes from Master Cook were very delicious and on festive evening with croatiam music also very valuable. The accomodation part of hotel has very solid 3*** standard of German hotels, 4th * is probably for nice water world with 2 swimming pools indoor and outdoor. Other problems: parking - special area for prominent ?, details in bathroom and very expensive transfer to airport, when is not managed by travel agency. Hotel Horizont is very clean and is a good alternative for your stay at Adriatic.

The hotel Horizont is located in one of the most picturesque places of Croatia - Makarska Riviera (the town of Baska Voda). The beaches there are considered to be one of the best in Croatia. The town is small, safe, good for holidays with small children, but the beaches are crowded and the seafloor is made of stones and pieces of rock, so it is not very easy to get in and out of the sea.
The hotel itself is quite comfortable, with good SPA, the indoor pool and jakuzzi. The rooms are well-eqiupped but rather small. The food is of reasonable quality, nothing outstanding about it, but I do wish they would offer a wider choice of fruit at the height of the season. The stuff are polite, but when we asked for the permission to stay a few hours longer for extra payment they turned us down, saying they are fully booked. Taking into account the fact that we had to wait for 6 hours at the airport for our flight to take off, we would have preferred to spend three more hours in the hotel room rather than in the lobby. So it doesn't seem to be a very guest-friendly hotel.

The Horizint Baska Voda is an excellent Hotel 4**** by Eastern Europe standards,staff efficient if a little brusque,maybe due to the need to comminicate in English,Greman and Russian.Rooms are of good size try for room on 5th Floor facing sea stunning View. Make sure you get room with seperate Shower as the first room we were offered had a fixed shower screen over bath making access very difficult for even the most agile.Pool go and extensive "wellness centre" for those who need such things. Close to Beach,white pebbles all Meals good ,dinner suitable for veggies @ a push.Quests in low season (Oct) mostly german/sweedish/russian coach parties.good if you want pool to yourself in day. Overall excellent late holiday venue provided you don`t mind the quiet and lack of english speaking residents
