Just back from a trip to Croatia which included a 3 night stay at the Hotel Porin in Makarska. The Porin was fabulous place to stay, we had a room right on the water front with fantastic views over the Harbour area. The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. Breakfast involved lovely bread / rolls and cold meat and cheeses which we ate each morning in the outside terrace area. Breakfast is served until 11AM, ideal if you want a long lie. Makarska itself is a busier resort that some of the guidebooks had led me to believe - but it still has a relatively unspoilt appeal. There are fantastic views of the mountains right behind the town. One side of the town has a very large, and quite busy beach. The other side of town has the harbour area and a path which follows the coast around and from which you can enjoy swimming and sunbathing from loads of little rocky outcrops and benches.
