“marvelous stay at a fabulous hotel with incredible staff”
We had a wonderful stay at Marco Polo hotel. Firstly about the hotel: the rooms are very spacious and have loads of storage to put away your stuff. The bed is also spacious and very very comfortable, together with the pillows. I had a very good nights sleep. Breakfast is excellent, and the location is likewise amazing. Right on the beach. Easy to go for a quick swim or just enjoy the view while eating. The hotel has a certain atmosphere around it that makes it feel like home. Very cozy. What made our stay even more special were the staff. Specifically Sandra at the reception and Stipe as host. Rarely do you see such genuinly kind individuals. We had a personal situation which made our stay a bit more difficult due to a booking error from my side. The way the staff has helped us will not be forgotten. They even gave us a bottle of home made olive oil for any inconveniences. Overall we had a marvelous stay at a fabulous hotel with incredible staff.

The village itself is quiet and relaxed. The hotel has good location at the beach, easy to access by car and a small grocery store nearby. It's a small boutique hotel with nice staff and many places to relax. We had a stunning view from our room. It was possible to enjoy sunset every night from our own balcony.

“An absolute dream”
We absolutely loved everything about our stay here! The hotel helped arrange a transfer from the airport for a good price. We expected to be met by a taxi driver but instead the restaurant manager of the hotel restaurant (which is in the Michelin guide) picked us up. He was very friendly and gave us a bunch of great tips for our stay. Once at the hotel we booked a table for the ”gala night” at the hotel restaurant. It was a really good experience with a six course tasting menu and a wine package accompanied by live music whilst sitting a maximum of 5 feet from the sea. Perfect start to our vacation! We ate at the hotel restaurant most nights (we also tried some other good restaurants in the area but I would say that the best restaurant in Gradac is at the hotel). The restaurant has themed nights several times a week such as ”gala night”, lobster night etc, so the menu changes quite a bit which is refreshing and if you wanted to you could easily eat at the restaurant every night without getting tired of it. Then on our first full day we went for an amazing wine tour led by the restaurant manager (shoutout Nenad). Together with a small group from the hotel we road by minibus along the coast to several wineries and even got to try a proper ”Dalmatian breakfast” (which was quite strong in terms of alcohol). We also stopped at an oyster farm and ate fresh oysters by the water. Then we got picked up by Stipe (the hotel owner) in the hotel boat and went to a lovely bay for swimming, drinks, more wine etc before heading back to the hotel. We thought this excursion was so good that we also opted for the boat trip to Hvar which was also absolutely amazing. The hotel also has several other excursions which sounded really fun (and they are all very reasonable in terms of price/value). The rest of the time we spent relaxing at the amazing beach right by the hotel.

Fabulous location. Staff were very helpful and very very friendly... always willing. The dinner menu, the quality of food at dinner was fantastic (let's try to keep it a secret - probably too late I fear!) - as were the wines.

“Gorgeous location with comfort.”
Absolutely beautiful location straight on the beach. Gorgeous spot for breakfast and great service. Various places to sit, the reading area, the beach, the deck, the pool and the terrace and our own balcony. The lift was helpful for us with our heavy bags. We were given a lift to the bus stop. Such a pretty location for the lovely family run hotel.

“Comfortable and relaxing hotel, feels like at home.”
We had a unique and very relaxing time in this hotel. The staff is very kind and helpful. I was very impressed by the hotel, its surroundings and the Gradac area as we visited here for the first time. This hotel is for adults, so it is quiet and comfortable. We booked for dinner in the hotel's Nicolo Polo restaurant (listed in 2023 MICHELIN Guide Croatia), which was terrific, with the sunset on the terrace. The sea view from the room was very romantic. We really hope to come back again. The beach and the jetty are just in front of the hotel; it is so comfortable. Parking is available just behind the hotel.

The perfect spot on the Riviera! Fantastic view from the windows, own terrace on the first floor. There is also a restaurant serving a hearty breakfast. Clean rooms, super and personal service. The people that work here are really top class in their service. Special thanks go to Sandra and the reception staff. The owner Stipe is also very close to the guests. We strongly recommend!
