I stayed at TUI BLUE Makarska for 2 nights with my wife, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. The location and view are absolutely beautiful — peaceful seaside atmosphere, clear water, and amazing sunset views. The hotel area is relaxing and perfect for a short couple’s getaway. The serv...

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and 4 days and chose a room with a private pool. We visited in May, so the pool water was quite cold at first, but we got used to it after a while. We paid almost €600 for this room, and I must admit I expected it to be a little bigger. It felt somewhat compact,...

High-quality hotel with beautiful views and a perfect location right by the beach. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole hotel was spotless and well-maintained 24/7. We also really enjoyed the activities and facilities the h...

I would like to describe our stay at the hotel from May 24th to May 26th. Upon arrival, we immediately had a huge problem with parking. During the night, a staff member eventually found us a distant parking spot behind a barrier. Carrying our luggage all the way back to the hotel was quite difficul...

We had a really great stay at this hotel. Everything was very clean, which made us feel comfortable from the first day. The rooms were nice, cozy, and well maintained, with a beautiful view.

Pros

  • Direct beach access with clear, calm Adriatic water.
  • Strong couples and romance fit with a quiet adults-only design.
  • Officially verified coordinates, room count, restaurants, pools, and airport transfer distance.

Cons

  • Not located in central Makarska.
  • Some room categories may feel compact.
  • Extras such as daybeds or beach loungers can affect perceived value.

Things to know

  • Best for couples who want scenic coastline, clear water, and a low-key adults-only atmosphere.
  • Despite the Makarska name, the hotel is in Igrane; plan transport for Makarska town.
  • This is half-board oriented on official TUI BLUE information, not necessarily a classic all-inclusive setup.

Hidden tips

  • Consider a swim-up sea-view junior suite if privacy and views are priorities.
  • Bring water shoes for the fine-pebble beach.
  • Use the promenade and nearby village for a change of scene, but plan transport for larger-town dining or excursions.

What guests say

Most loved
  • Sea views and direct clear-water beach access
  • Peaceful adults-only atmosphere
  • Friendly staff and relaxed couple-focused setting

  • Remote from Makarska town despite the name
Things people wish they knew
  • The resort is in Igrane, south of Makarska town, not in central Makarska.
  • The beach is fine pebble and water shoes may make swimming more comfortable.
  • The resort is better for quiet couples than nightlife or high-energy entertainment.
From Reddit
