The Residence

"We stayed at the Residence for 11 nights as a base to explore Split and the Islands . Our room on the second floor overlooked the tennis courts and the Sea . It was very spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and pillows. The walk in shower was always hot and we had regular towel changes . The staff in reception were always available if needed and pleasant. It was the beginning of June and the season only just getting started. The pool and the restaurant were closed which didn’t really affect us . The only thing we had problems with was the main road into Split ! Bear in mind a 20 minute ride could sometimes be over a hours journey on the bus, the traffic is horrendous and the buses get very full and standing room only . Having said that we had a lovely holiday at the Residence and did manage to complete our list of places to visit."

"We very much enjoyed our stay in The Residence. The apartment was spacious and kept immaculately clean, the towels changed frequently and the bed linen halfway through a two week stay. The reception and housekeeping team were very helpful and friendly. We found a couple of good restaurants along the seafront and one up on main road, and a great ice cream place in the marina. The fish restaurant under the apartment building is excellent but it’s a bit pricey. The pool was too small and shallow to be used for anything more than a quick dip and there were only six sunbeds – hardly anyone used it which isn’t surprising but the beach was so close it didn’t matter to us. Shade under the palm trees on the promenade if you go to the beach for a swim and a short spell in the sun. Otherwise you need to walk for about 10 minutes to find sunbeds. Only downside was the queue of traffic on main road for first 10 minutes of journey to Split. I think the school run started up when we were there. Appreciated private and secure parking during out stay."

"The Residence Hotel is a true gem! The staff were really hospitable: they found a perfect apartment for our family and once we arrived helped us out with everything. An apartment was nice and modern. From our vast terrace we could see the island of Brač across the sea. The beach, just a few minutes away, was lovely at all times of day. Many chic beach bars and restaurants were in the vicinity as well as a marina. Looking forward to coming back next year!"
