Grand Palace Luxury Retreat - Tale Of The Sea

Everything was fantastic, gorgeous room, the location was incredible and Josip was so helpful! Highly recommend!

Room was ideal for access to Diolcletian's Palace, obviously, and the room itself was very clean and comfortable. Quieter than expected. Our point of contact was very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Nice room in older building. Nicely renovated.

We stayed in the suite which has a double bedroom and a separate living room/kitchen. It has fabulous views over the harbour on one side and the old town on the other. It has been beautifully renovated. You do need to bear in mind that there is no reception so be sure to let them know when you are expecting to arrive. They send you a video to show you how to navigate the maze of steps and alleyways on the old town which is easy to follow. The kitchen is well appointed although some kitchen roll would have been useful. The windows provide really great sound insulation from the church bells but we could hear people in the room above and to the side. Our only issue was that there wasn’t enough hot water for 2 consecutive showers.

The location to the marina and castle was fantastic. In fact the unit was inside the castle walls. The down side was this is not an actual hotel, there is no front desk, no bellman, and it's kind of a maze to get to the unit. It's through the castle doors, up some stairs, around a corner, up a lot more stairs to a platform, to the right, a few more stairs, around a corner, over a plywood walkway til you are finally there. Luckily a man came to show us the way and carried our suitcases. Someone was supposed to show up at checkout to help us with the suitcases but they never came, so we got help from strangers. The unit was nice, very clean, very comfortable, and once you exited the maze everything you could possibly want was there...the restaurants, shopping, buses, boats, the marina, gelato everywhere. You could pop around every corner to something new. If you have mobility issues or just don't like to lug your heavy suitcases around, pick something else. If you like a 24 hour from desk, also pick something else. It worked out for us, but a hotel with breakfast would have been good too :)

This was a fabulous property with a great view of the harbor and the Riv. Thoma greeted us and provided awesome recommendations for our stay. I highly recommend the Grand Palace Luxury Retreat for your stay in Split!

Perfect. Great all around. Memorable four days.

right in the middle of old town and place, busy, loud, no parking options. I don't know why they supply a coffee maker when there is no coffee supply. I suppose they want the guest to bring their own coffee.
