This is a great hotel in wonderful location - it has a huge infinity pool and right below is is a side-walk, and then the beach. You really couldn't get closer to the sea if you tried! We've been to several Valamar hotels in the past, and the Meteor is our favourite. The staff are extremely friendly, the food is excellent, and the hotel overall is very child-friendly - perfect for a family. We booked direct with the hotel and had a large suite with a terrace, which was beautiful. The room itself was very well appointed and very clean. Food was great - large selection at breakfast as well as dinner, huge choice of salads and everything was really fresh and tasty. Anything that ran out was refilled very quickly. There was always pizza and pasta on offer, plus a selection of different meats, side-dishes, as well as warm vegetable dishes and desserts. I think everybody could find something that they liked. We also had dinner at their beach restaurant La Pentola, and that was delicious too. For lunch, we ate at their pool bar - again the food was delicious and really good selection. The staff are super friendly, special thanks to Petra at reception who couldn't have been more helpful, and Matija at the pool bar who always smiled. All the pools are great, but only the children's pool is heated. We came in May, when the weather wasn't that hot yet, and the water in the pool took some time getting used to - same with the sea temperature. Swimming in the large pool is fantastic and super relaxing. Unfortunately some guests do not respect the pool rules which say "no balls and no inflatables" so here it would definitely help if there was a pool guard on site to keep an eye on this. There is also a large indoor pool, which is heated, and that is really practical if the weather turns cold. If you stay on the beach and rent loungers, you have to pay extra - otherwise just bring a towel or a beach mat to sit on. The beach is pebbly, and water-shoes were a must for us. The hotel is only a short-walk to Makarska, where you can find a number of shops, cafes, and ice-cream shops. We went to Split one day, which was about an hour drive each way. The trip from Split airport to Makarska is about 1.5 hours drive. Overall we were really happy with our stay and look forward to coming here again in the future.
