Hotel Jadran
Maybe you looked at the blog from 2011, maybe you didn't. It was a logistical achievement to get us there, but ride there on the bikes we did, in our dresses and lipstick.
The exterior of the hotel is pretty much as it was - painted, and slightly less 'barracks' looking, but there has been a large amount of money spent on the interior, including the terrace area and the pools. The lighting isn't good, too bright which undermines the attempt to create intimate spaces. There was a band from Split playing french swing/jazz music - the guests were sitting around on phones, playing cards. We wandered in as if we owned the place (three tall women, one blind) and waited for the waiter to take our drink order - and waited, and waited... they lost points for service.
The highlight for me was the spiral staircase which was the subject of photos in 2011. We took turns at descending and taking photos
- stunningly well done (and the staircase looks good too..) . The downstairs arched spaces have been turned into 'swim out suites' - not sure of this, but the concept is a private room with the door opening on to a private pool. 'Turn down' services optional.
Anyway, here are some photos.
