Hotel Saint Hildegard

The hotel is to quite a good standard although could benefit from some attention in places, i.e. there was a noticeable stain on our carpet. Overall, very clean, all credit to the cleaners, and the beds were very comfortable. Location was very peaceful, lovely and quiet, slept well every night. Spectacular views across the sea. Some things to note though... our room shared a joint balcony with, I think, four other rooms so guests could walk right past your window. Another couple had an air conditioning leak in their room which they complained about several times but nothing was done, they had to improvise themselves to collect the water dripping from the ceiling. Also, the location is not actually in Omis, it is a place called Ruskamen. There are no restaurants nearby, we caught the bus into the nearest town, Omis most evenings to eat, about a 10 minute bust ride. The bus stop is up the steep road of the hotel, turn right and it's in front of the supermarket, return stop is nearly opposite. The bus company name is Promet, (the area is outside the local bus route) Promet buses don't run very frequently and are usually very late. Look at 'Go by bus' for the timetable. Ideally you need a car. Taxi is about 10 euros. We only eat in the restaurant once in the evening, the buffet was tepid, the 'hot plates' aren't hot. When we complained to reception the following day the response we received was rude and impertinent, no apology, didn't even believe us when we said the restaurant closed at 10, we had to show her a photo of the sign to prove it, she then said we shouldn't have gone to eat there 1/2 hour before it closed, couldn't seem to understand that the food should be hot irrespective of the time you eat, within the times stated of opening. We couldn't believe we had to justify our complaint. Not impressed. Hence... we caught the bus to eat to Omis most evenings. (Recommend the Pirates Kitchen). We also wrote to the hotel upon our return but never received a response. There were two members of staff who stood out at the hotel in the restaurant, Gea and Manuela, both of whom were polite, friendly lovely people. We also loved the fact that the hotel has adopted a cat called Hilda who has been there since the hotel was built, she has a limp which doesn't seem to inhibit movement and is well looked after. Makarska, further south down the coast has a beautiful marina and lots of restaurants. We opted to spend extra money to stay there for a night so we could eat a nice meal and at least walk back to our accommodation. Wish we had booked our entire holiday there. Again, you catch the Promet bus. Overall, we wouldn't recommend this hotel and will never return.

A nice hotel at medium size with friendly staff. The hotel is very clean and have nice rooms located just next to the water with private beach. An excellent lunch is served in the restaurant on the beach at reasonable price. The hotel has a nice pool on the beach. Summary: perfect for me and my daughters.
