Amadria Park Ivan

An honest family review while we are still here. First off, the area (Sibenik) is really nice. It's clean and the sea is perfect for swimming etc. The Amadria Park Ivan is one of 4 hotels on what was the Solaris Resort. All are linked (sister hotels) with very little difference in standards or facilities. The problem with that is there is no competition and so everything is priced high. You would need to do a ten minute drive to get any variety in food and drinks. The buffet breakfast is fine but after that the menu selection is very poor. The restaurants and snack bars in the resort all use the one menu. On more than one occasion the food we ordered off the limited menus was unavailable. Even simple things like ketchup! The majority of the hotel restaurants close at 9pm too. You will find yourself resorting to having substandard snack type food most days. We booked two rooms, one for my wife and I and the other for our two teenage kids (Girl 18 & Boy 17) We got rooms side by side which was great but there was only a double bed in each. What teenage brother and sister what to share a bed or even one with their parents. We asked for twin beds or even a fold out bed for one of the rooms but we did not get one. Instead we had to pay another €660 for the only remaining room left just so the teenagers had their own space. So we had to book three rooms for something that was not our mistake. On the plus sides, the pools are nice. The walk from the pool to the beach is nice too (right beside each other) White Beach is the main beach at the hotel and it's really well kept and very safe for kids and adults to swim at. The water is very clear and warm. The view out to the islands is impressive. The hotel rooms are ok. Possibly a little small but the issue none of us liked was the lack of privacy at the bathrooms. Their is a clear glass door with no lock and the shower faces into the bedroom with a curtain (on the room side) Very odd set up. The rooms do not have a balcony which is something we usually enjoy. The air con in one of our rooms worked well but no so we'll in the other. The extra room we had to book was even smaller and had one of the worst hotel views I ever saw. Picture attached. There are some really nice staff doing their best and we did appreciate it but overall the hotels are getting the basics wrong. There is no hotel entertainment for teenagers or adults. A DJ just play a few tunes for an hour or so. We had a rainy day and unlike most hotels there was nothing put in place to keep guests entertained. A taxi to the center of Sibenik (€20) is recommended as its a really nice place to see. You can also rent bikes from the sports centre (€32 per person) and go on a nice cycle towards St Nicholas Beach. With food options being a major issue we found that the closest supermarket was 10-15 minutes walk away. It helped us with the basic supplies. If traveling from Split Airport to the resort you will be to factor a charge of €120 - €

Decent service, friendly staff, decent food. Had some complains tho,been waiting 2 days in the bar at the front of the hotel for atleast 20 min, and nobody came to serve me. And you should clean the airco’s in the rooms. This is litteraly discusting.. still had a good vacation and also likes alot of things about this hotel. Thank you for having us.

Man.. it was awesome! Let me explain or yea, introduce you. So, there’s rooms. You can choose connected or door to door. Connected perks: switch through rooms instantly and there’s doors for privacy. Door to door? See for yourself. And the pool? It’s saltwater. Well, to be fair I don’t like salt water but it’s enjoyable for most people so I won’t demote the rating. The beach? It’s perfect. Instead of the annoying sand there’s mini rocks and they’re so easy to get off and the ocean is SOOOOOO clear. Almost like the pool. The food? It’s the same each day I think but it’s good Atleast :) and the rooms are all the same. The service? Great! And the rooms? Clean, great and the pillows are so nice to sleep on. Overall? Very good! Would come again. On a scale from 1/10, it’s 8.5 for me. You should definitely go to this hotel! It’s the best I’ve ever been to.

Excellent hotel . The people who are working in the hotel are very polite and always smiling . A large selection of food that is very tasty . Our room was very good . Beaches are close to the hotel and very clean . I recommend this hotel to everyone .
