The Chedi Luštica Bay

Majority of the staff were nice

Food selection very poor for vegetarians, staff rushed us everyday in the restaurants. Very isolated, and not really a resort - just a hotel with a sub standard swimming pool which was ice cold.

Everything about hotel staff so amazing spa treatments amazing

The best room with beautiful views

Let me start by saying that the Chedi in Oman is one of my favourite hotels in the world and the Chedi in Qatar is also excellent so we had high hopes. The hotel was generally ok. Decent size room, comfortable bed, excellent toiletries and on the whole attentive staff but it just lacks something.... A sentiment that was actually echoed by a family we got talking to who felt exactly the same.

Firstly, I had communicated with the hotel prior to our arrival and said that we had stayed in other Chedi properties so we were excited about our trip and that we were celebrating a special occasion. Not one person acknowledged either of those things. The pool is far too small and crowded - it's like being at a Holiday Inn - not relaxing, not exclusive and far too cramped. The beach area is also not great. Sun loungers too close together and there was a broken side table. On one morning, there were no towels when the beach opened at 8am, the driveway down to the beach was being cleaned with a jet wash until about 9am and there were discarded pistachio shells on a couple of loungers. Not what you expect from a Chedi. Children running around like it's a playground. The hanging chairs in the lobby were being used as swings with kids charging around and breakfast was equally bad. It's not just the noise and chaos that is offensive but it's frankly dangerous carrying cups of hot water when there are children charging around the restaurant. Breakfast was good but every day I had to wait at one of the stations for items to be refilled - one day I waited 5 minutes. And, I waited 20 minutes one day for a cappuccino which never arrived. I know it was August but it's no excuse.

Room was excellent

Beach needs a major improvement
