達米亞豪華精品水療飯店(Damianii Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa)

Erg ruime en luxe kamers. De jacuzzi had voor ons niet gehoeven. Enorm groot balkon en ook nog zeezicht. Ontbijt is ook luxe en op bestelling dus geen buffet. De keuze is niet heel ruim maar de kwaliteit is goed. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Zonder vragen, kregen we een upgrade. Wel wat buiten het dorp op afstand. Het hotel is klein waardoor je niet blijft eten want dan zit je er alleen. Maar verder helemaal prima!

Das Gute mal vorneweg: Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und die Frontdesk Mitarbeiterinnen machen einen ausgezeichneten Job. Vielen Dank dafür. Das Hotel ist generell schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Zimmer und Suiten sind zwar hochwertig eingerichtet, aber eben im Look der vergangenen Zeiten. Wir hatten eine Suite gebucht mit Meerblick, das Meer ist jedoch aufgrund der schönen Palmen am Pool kaum sichtbar. Die Minibar ist gut ausgestattet, die Preise sind aber inakzeptabel. Dasselbe im Restaurant und an der Poolbar. Cocktailpreise bewegen sich zwischen 20€ und 38€. Das übertrifft sogar die Preise der Luxushotels der nordeuropäischen Metropolen, welche einem 5-Sterne Standard wahrhaftig entsprechen. Die grösste Enttäuschung war das Restaurant. Die Speisekarte verspricht Fine Dining, die Umsetzung scheitert aber komplett. Wir bestellten Fisch zu Mittag, 200gr Fischfilet sollten es sein, auf dem Teller befanden sich höchstens 120gr mit einem Klacks Sauce. Der Fisch war durchgebraten und trocken. Dies zu einem Preis von 40€ - ohne Beilage! Wir bestellten noch 2 Beilagen dazu, wobei die eine Beilage erst kam als wir schon fertig gegessen haben. Es sei noch hinzuzufügen dass wir die einzigen Gäste zu dem Zeitpunkt im Restaurant waren. Das Grill-Gemüse welches vergessen wurde war zT. angebrannt und bestand nur aus Brokolli und fermentierten irgendwas. Wir liessen es einfach stehen. Für die Kinder gibt es absolut nichts. Ein Haus das sich 5 Sterne zuschreibt, sollte ein Kids Menü mit wenigstens 2 Gerichten anbieten können. Das tut der angeblichen Gourmetküche keinen Abbruch. Die Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend und brachte als Entschuldigung 3 Desserts. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist eher bescheiden, es gibt jedoch Möglichkeiten Speisen zu bestellen. Pochierte Eier waren dann allerdings durchgekocht genauso Egg Benedict. Poolbereich mit den Baldachins ist sehr schön, jedoch auch hier keinesfalls 5s Standard. Der Vorhang an der Umkleidekabine ist defekt bzw. entfernt, so dass keine Umziehmöglichkeit besteht. Die Türe an der Damentoilette war defekt. Es sind an den Cabanas Verbote aufgeklebt welche wir partout übersehen haben. Am Pool haben wir Getränke konsumiert. Als dann über 2h keine Bedienung kam, habe ich durstig und nichtsahnend eine Wasser Petflasche aus der Tasche geholt. Die Bedienung kam dann prompt und der Herr wies mich als Erstes auf eine forsche Weise daraufhin dass dies streng verboten ist und ich die Falsche sofort wegräumen muss. Wir waren leicht geschockt und schauten uns verdutzt an. Ich sagte der Bedienung dass über 2h niemand vorbeikam, darauf erfolgte aber keine Antwort. Wir bestellten dann weitere Getränke und Speisen, den Salat von der Menükarte gab es nicht, also nahmen wir eine Spinatspeise. Die war allerdings so versalzen dass wir es wieder stehen lassen mussten. Auch hier, so funktioniert das nicht in einem 5s Haus. Schade eigentlich. Das Hotel hätte Potential aber es muss an einigen Stellen ordentlich gearbeitet werden. Fazit

My wife and I booked this hotel in 2019 with the intention of visiting in summer 2020. Due to the pandemic, the hotel kindly moved our booking several times and eventually to August 2023, once it was safe to travel. I have summarised the stay to make it easier to read but happy to answer any questions if a reader has more questions Positives - Beautiful location away from the main town and a beach walk (30 minutes) into Omis (nearest big town) - Fantastic service from all staff who all went out of their way to make our experience 5 star - Modern and quiet swimming pool, jacuzzi, wellness (pool, sauna etc) and dining area - Breakfast is fantastic. The staff bring you a menu with a range of options and you just choose whatever you want (all good quality) - Marijana (forgive me if I spelt this wrong) who works breakfast time in the restaurant is a credit to the hotel. Professional, efficient, friendly and thoughtful. She definitely made our stay that extra bit special and nothing was too much trouble (my eating regime can be a pain on holiday and she was super helpful). - Gym was fantastic for a hotel gym (albeit a little cramped but this was because there was so much good gym kit packed into the space) - Private beach for hotel guests only (please not there is a fee for hire of beds and/or cabana) - Local restaurants directly across from the hotel are a good standard and right on the beach Room for improvement - Cabana’s in the hotel are only free if you spend 500 kunas a day (£55) - The hotel is on the main road leading into Omis… This is a pretty fast road similar to a busy A road in the UK which can be daunting to cross (there are crossings but cars don’t always stop straight away). Best advice is to cross the road and then walked along the beach path into Omis and avoid the traffic (it’s also a lot prettier) - Hotel food is really expensive when you compare this to the local area. We are out most nights for £40 but the hotel at least double. - Seating on the suite terrace was really limited and looked out onto the car park. It important to reinforce that this hotel is pretty fantastic despite there being a few minor areas that need a tweak. The staff make this hotel extra special…. From the cleaners, night porter, reception and restaurant staff. They are all exceptionally helpful, polite and professional which made a for a great experience. We are seasoned travellers and my wife works for a large meetings and events company so we have seen a lot of hotels and spaces. We have stayed in many boutique hotels and this is up there with the best of them. Well done 👏

The most amazing hotel I ever visited! Everything exudes sophistication and luxury. Bed is very comfortable, pool is amazing. Hotel is not so big, so its not crowded on the breakfast or at the pool, which for me can be really irritating! Very professional and kind staff, especially girls and one man at the desk that made me welcome surprise. Beach is private with comfortable sunbeds with baldacchinos (free of charge for guests). Kindly recommend!

First and foremost one has to say how polite, helpful and charming the staff are at this hotel. It is only a pity the rest is not as good. Travelling with a friend we drew lots as to who would take which room, 1st or 3rd floor, with a view for both facing a solid rock and the hotel garage (for which, if you have a car, you are expected to pay 25 Euros a day!) not even in France do they charge that. The 3rd floor bedroom was done up like a nightclub, black and gold. The 1st floor one was at least white with glittery mosaic walls in the bathroom. Kitch in both cases. The size of the rooms was good as was the balcony if you were happy to stare at the netted rock face of the mountain! The 2 enormous sliding wardrobe doors were the most irritating feature of the rooms. Each time you wanted to use the bathroom you had to slide one of these doors to one side and when you wanted anything from the side where your drawers were or the safe, you had to slide them the other way. Muscles required. I object to having musak filtering from a speaker in the ceiling above the bed. I mentioned this at reception who seemed surprised as they didn't seem to be aware of this! A kettle was provided with sachets of indifferent tea (no English Breakfast tea - I take my own luckily) and coffee was in ***** form as you would get in a cheap motel or lesser hotel. Not what you would expect from what calls itself 5*s. There was no milk ever given, so I took my fresh milk from the breakfast/dining room. A bottle of water was provided at the start of your stay and that was it. You were expected to buy your own thereafter. Having stayed in a REAL 5* for 4 nights in Split, 2 water bottles were given daily in your room. The continental breakfast let's call it that, was disappointing. Dried up cheese and ham sitting in the fridge, but if you chose the cooked option, this at least was ok. The best part of the hotel was the pool, but not the somewhat ridiculous and not very comfortable loungers. We had been led to believe it was an Adults Only hotel but that was not the case as it turned out as there were children, well behaved thank goodness. This is a hotel with pretensions and not to everyone's taste sadly, but Omis is a delightful town with some very nice places to eat round and about and well worth visiting but pick somewhere else to stay.

The hotel was amazing! Rooms clean and spacious. Location was right on the beach where cabanas awaited for those taking a dip in the incredible Adriatic Sea. The hotel food was spectacular, down to the warm croissants and fresh bread, incredible feta cheese, caprese eggs benedict, fish plate, crispy French fries, pasta, etc. Each food ordered from their menu was delicious and perfect. One thing I appreciated above all else was the staff, everyone was courteous and super helpful. Special shout out to Marijana and Antonela. Both women were delightful, attentive, funny and sweet. They knew how to make our trip extra special, recommending places to visit, local drinks to try, and restaurants in downtown Split to try out. This was my first time to Croaita, I'll definitely be coming back and staying at the Damianii again!

Staff were excellent as was room and facilities. Food and drink was nice but top London pricing. Would eat at the Local restaurant and Shooko bar.

We really enjoyed our time here. The staff were all great, the food was really good and the room was huge and really well appointed. Loved it. Would definitely recommend to couples looking for a chilled week especially.
