TUI BLUE Makarska - Adults Only

If you were every trying to decide between going to the TUI Blue Adriatic Beach and this one which is just a few kilometers away, hear me out!! We spent 2 night at each of the hotels: - the Adriatic Beach is all inclusive option, you don't have that here, which I don't mind. But I must say the endless mohitos at the Adriatic Beach were a true highlight - food is 80% the same in both hotels. I liked the dinner options in TUI Makarska much better, but desserts were better in Adriatic Beach. Muuuch nicer view and position of the restaurant in TUI Makarska. The Adriatic Beach one is high up since the hotel is huge - our room in TUI Makarska had a great sea view, but the closet right at the enterence door was terribly placed and what is the deal with the shower and toilet separated from the wash hand basin by a swinging door? Not clear on that one. Anyway, the room at Adriatic beach was much more practical. - the guests at the Adriatic Beach were younger and the party kind, but it wasn't rowdy at the pool at all, just nice fun, good music and plenty of drinking. The guests at TUI Makarska were much older and looking for calm vacation. Both hotels are of course Adults-Only! - the pool at the Adriatic beach is huge and I loved itand there is a jacuzzi by the main pool. There are two completely separated smaller pools a TUI Makarska which are ok but kind of a let down compared. The beach though is much better in Igrane at TUI Makarska. The pebbles at Adriatic Beach were sharp as hell. Also at Adriatic beach you have to be early to reserve good pool chairs, but at TUI Makarska there were always some free ones (probably because half of the guest prefered the beach) - little bits I noticed and appreciated as well: the welcome drink at TUI Makarska was a nice touch; we LOVED the movie night by the pool in TUI Makarska; the pool staff in Adriatic beach are extra cool.

Location, facilities, staff, the vibe ...they got it all. From a professional demeanor to a down right honest friendly approach, the staff makes this place. Big shout out to the culinarium crew which made us feel at home. Beaches are nice, water is perfect and the if calm is your go to than so is this place.

This hotel is definitely one of the most beautiful and best organised places that I visited in Croatian Adriatic. Very nice and functional architecture, lots of activities. The food is excellent and staff is really nice and helpful. This was also my first time in "adults only" hotel and I may say it was new experience of total relax. I would like to come again any time.

Beautiful, modern hotel, location by the sea. Clean and comfortable room, very large balcony with amazing sea view. The food was varied and tasty. The staff made sure we had everything we needed. Two swimming pools, very clean, sun loungers in abundance. It was also possible to find sunbeds in a quiet place further from the pool. Beautiful surroundings of the hotel, lots of trees, views of nearby islands.

The beach is beautiful and the fact that it's right outside my door and is private to hotel clients is perfect. The staff are lovely and accommodating. The balcony was bugger than expected with great views. The food was excellent with great variety.
