Location cannot be beaten. Stunning views and amazing sunsets. BUT there is a lot of smoking even though it's supposed to remain in 'designated' areas. Vegetarians will find the food options limited and the food is generally much the same for each meal. Would recommend you don't wear flip flops aro...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at TUI BLUE Adriatic Beach, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

We stayed at TUI Blue Adriatic for the last week and overall had a pleasant stay, but there were a few reasons we felt it was more of a 3-star experience for us personally. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning scenery throughout the area. The swifts flying around the hotel were al...

All in all a fantastic short break. Quick flights from the uk, to Spit. 2 main downsides: the property is over 2 hours transfer away from Split and depending which way the driver goes, if you suffer motion sickness, be prepared.

Pros

  • Direct access to very clear Adriatic water.
  • Adults-only atmosphere with strong relaxation appeal.
  • Verified room, pool, restaurant, and coordinate data from official sources.

Cons

  • Remote setting with limited nearby infrastructure.
  • Hilly paths and steps may not suit every traveler.
  • Beach lounger costs can be a point of frustration.

Things to know

  • Best for adults seeking a quiet, scenic Makarska Riviera stay rather than nightlife or town access.
  • The beach is clear and swimmable, but it is pebble rather than soft sand.
  • Split Airport transfers are long, so arrival and departure days can feel travel-heavy.

Hidden tips

  • Pack water shoes for the pebble beach.
  • Consider a swim-up or private-pool room if pool crowding is a concern.
  • Plan excursions in advance because public transport options are limited.

What guests say

Most loved
  • Clear-water pebble beach and sea views
  • Relaxed adults-only atmosphere
  • Friendly staff and clean rooms
Most common complaints
  • Hills, steps, and remote location
  • Paid beach loungers or beach setup
  • Food variety for some dietary preferences
Things people wish they knew
  • The resort is secluded; excursions usually require a car, transfer, or organized tour.
  • The beach is natural pebble, so water shoes are useful.
  • Some beach loungers may be operated separately from the hotel and may cost extra.
