Just two minutes walk to the beach (which is mainly occupied by the neighbouring Le Méridien hotel). Very clean and modern rooms with comfortable beds. We stayed five days in a studio room which has a fridge, microwave, egg cooker, toaster, water kettle an a Dolce Gusto coffee maker, and a large balcony. There’s a small supermarket on the main road behind (above) the hotel, about five minutes away. There are also many restaurants, either on the main road or in both directions on the beach. The ladies at the reception were very nice and friendly. Split is approximately 10 kilometres away and can be reached by public bus from the main road or by BOLT/UBER services. All in all, we can recommend the Residence for a beach vacation.

The Residence hotel has only a minuscule pool with a few (6) sun beds and no shade. Neither do they have their own beach area with sun beds and umbrellas. All these services/facilities are owned by the neighbouring Méridien hotel. If you want a real pool and beach facilities, you have to register there. In June 2022, they charged 300 Kuna (40 €!!!) per person per day for guests who stay at the Residence- which in my opinion is impertinent. Everyone can use the beach though but you have to bring your own towels, sun chairs etc. And please note, there’s no shade - bring your own umbrellas!!! The Residence hotel should also offer these services for their guests, either for free or a nominal fee.

location on ground floor from reception. near the beach - less than 200m. very clean and the room was reset and cleaned every day :-) Aircon working really well.

the view of the sea/ beach was only partial. No tea or coffee in the room - had to go and buy this! no breakfast included

Nice hotel next to LeMeridien Lav, but you cannot use for obvious reasons their properties. Room was big enough, clean, good bath room. Ladies at reception were nice, but the reception area is just a small room with limited options. Close to the beach, the marina around the corner is very nice, too.

While knowing upfront, the rooms in the basement have a limited view as we actually looked onto a stone wall, But to be fair, this was mentioned somewhere in the booking fine print I think.

Borderlining excellent. But pool in very small, looked bigger in pictures. Appartment was nice and very clean.

Small pool and had to bring own towels to beach or rent. Rental of sunchair was 40 euro on beach located near hotel.

Great value for money. Kitchen was very nice! Breakfast in the restaurant was ok. We liked better to eat breakfast in the nice kitchen

If the floor in the apartment had been cleaned everyday, it had been perfect

The staff are very welcoming and extremely helpful, there is a small supermarket at the top of the steps going up to the main road which is great for stocking up on essentials, it’s so close to the beach for chill days and it’s equal distance for day or night trips to split and Omis.

The pool is a little small, but the beach is only 50mtrs away so it’s fine

This place was amazing, I cannot recommend it enough! We stayed In he three bedroom apartment on the top floor and it was beautiful! Wall to ceiling floors with the most fabulous sea view! The apartment was immaculately clean and very beautiful. Nikolina and the other girls who work at the hotel were amazing and so helpful. They would arrange for their driver at the hotel to take us to Split and collect us whenever we wished too. Podstrana was a really pleasant surprise, the beach is on the doorstop of the hotel and a couple of really pretty restaurants are beachside too which in the evening have the most beautiful sunsets. We were a family of 4 two adults one daughter 21 and the other 13 and this holiday was great aa it had just the right amount of balance between quiet and peaceful and then lively when we went to Split. We will definetely return..

Nothing!

All good. Lovely, well equipped and clean flat with a full width balcony and sea view. We had one with 2 bedrooms/bathrooms. It also had a sofa bed suitable for one person and we requested another small bed for a child. Flat had dishwasher and washing machine, well equipped kitchen, towels were regularly swapped. Location great for famies with small children or couples looking for a beach break in the sun. Hotel reception arranged transfers to and from the airport and also printed off testing documents that we needed for travel.

The location is perfect, the beaches in Podstrana are beautiful! The hotel has distance from the activities and guests at the Hotel Lav (Meridien), so it was quiet & allowed me to sleep with no problem. I definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Split, its nice to decompress in Podstrana in the morning and charge up before heading out at night.

We stayed for a week in the Residence hotel. The location is amazing, rooms are clean and well equipped. The staff is very helpful and friendly. If we ever come to Croatia again, we will definitely stay in the Residence.
