Hotel Lemongarden - Adults Only

Everything about this hotel is fantastic. The private beach is particularly wonderful - large area, very quiet and serene, spotless bathrooms, food and drink available at the small onsite restaurant, plenty of chairs, heavenly hammocks. They offer complimentary shuttle to the private beach but you can also take well-maintained bikes which we did and it's a very easy pleasant 10-15 minute ride over. The pool is beautifully designed but would be more enticing if it was heated a bit warmer. Rooms are large, well appointed, wonderful sheets and beds, and fabulous bathrooms. Staff are nice, albeit "Croatian-cool" in demeanor. We didn't opt for the private transfer but if you don't mind spending 400 Euros (we could afford it easily but still found it more than we felt it was worth) it would be a stylish, fast, luxe way to get door to door service from the airport to this gem of a hotel. We only had breakfast, no lunches or dinners, but the food was excellent and presented beautifully. One of the best hotels we've stayed at in 20 years.

We loved this hotel. I was looking for a hotel where we could relax & unwind & feel pampered. The Lemongarden achieved this. After we collected our luggage at Split airport we were met & taken to the private speedboat & whisked off to Sutivan harbour. We were delighted our room was ready early so we could unpack & settle down for lunch at the waterside restaurant. Afterwards, an afternoon by the pool beckoned. We were the only ones there. The pool is gorgeous. The gardens are immaculate. The staff are all delightful. The scent of jasmine & sound of the birds made us instantly relax. Any plans to explore Brac or further afield vanished. This was a holiday for complete relaxation.  Nothing is any bother. Smiling staff. Good service. Genuinely the best sleep I've had in years.  We spent a couple of afternoons at the beach. We aren't really beach people but this area is pretty special. A super beach bar (we preferred the lunch menu here to the one at the hotel). We were spoiled because the weather was gorgeous yet we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We probably would have had more dinners at the hotel but as a non red meat eater I struggled to find what I wanted on the current menu. (There is a decent vegan section but that doesn't appeal to me.)  However it was nice to try the other little restaurants around the harbour too.  There were no negatives but as an observation I'd mention that although the hotel is adult only there is a children's playground directly beyond the pool area which can get 'lively' at certain times of the day but it wasn't a problem for us. A fabulous stay here. One of the staff mentioned that they get many repeat guests which is no surprise. I hope I'm one.  Finally, the macaroons are absolutely divine! Sent from AOL on Android

Having been fortunate enough to stay in many top quality hotels I have to say this hotel is up there as one of the best if not the best. The location, architecture, accommodation, grounds, facilities, service, staff, & the quality of the food - all exceptional! We will definitely be back.
