Admiral Grand Hotel

Overall it is a very modern, new, well maintained hotel. Breakfast is first class and with all the western staples and a few Adriatic twists. The beach is private, clean and quiet. Towel service is on point. There are always some free loungers and parasols to be found. Beach area is artificial tiny pebbles leading in to more natural pebbles and rocks and a quick drop into the deep dark bay. The water is good enough for a swim but far from breath taking and crystal clear like in other places along the Croatian coast. This is to be expected in a serviceable bay. Views of the bay especially at sunset are unique and picturesque. The pools indoor and outdoor are clean and modern with plenty of loungers. We didn't spend any time by the pool as we are beach people. The room we stayed in was the basic mountain view. We ended up really liking being on the ground floor after being hesitant at first. You can jump out of one of the side doors and cut your travel time to the beach to seconds. Ground floor highly recommended. The beds and couch were comfortable, although the pillows were hard and lumpy made of the worst memory foam I've ever encountered. Any of the staff I encountered were friendly and quick to help. However, not once were we approached on the beach for drinks as advertised. I am a big tipper when served right and let's just say those lazy servers missed out. I recommend this hotel to families and couples. Singles steer well clear of Slano in general or you wil

The location is mesmerising which is probably why they get away with having unhappy staff, no table service beach side and beds that are not doubles but two large singles and not very comfortable. I love the view, the beach, the indoor and outdoor pool, think they need to make a bit more effort for it to be a real 5 star. They should get paddle boards and extra available trips. I think it is somewhere older generation goes to relax but it would make an awesome adults only resort for the child free younger couples. Shortage of good coffee and cocktails but good areas and restaurants around to go to.

The hotel is very nice. Beautiful facilities. Two pools and beach provide an excellent atmosphere for relaxation. The staff hustles, but they are not accommodating. Pool bar and food service shut down at 4pm. We found the best time to enjoy the pool was after 4pm. While you could still get drinks from the inside bar it was not easy. We had kids and inquired about getting food outside by the pool (6pm) and the staff was appalled by the request. They take their Buffett dinning room very serious even though the food was average at best. If you venture outside the hotel the food is terrible. We were surprised that they would not accommodate a simple request of food by the pool, especially considering they offered the service at lunch. We ended up getting room service. Because of that I would not recommend this hotel. Also the dinning room manager was very stern and very KGB. He yelled at our kids for dancing to music in the lobby and he yelled at someone in our party inquring about food because she was Ina bathing suit. This sort of service would not fly in the U.S. Overall, it was a nice hotel but I wouldn't go back.
