Family vacation to Croatia
Croatia
|
Oct 2 - Oct 12, 2025
My husband, 11 year old son and I visited Split, the island of Korcula, and Dubrovnik for ten days in October. It was the most amazing and perfect trip we could have dreamed of. Our agent, Robi, made a point to get exactly what we wanted to do. Everything went perfectly, from the time the driver picked us up at the airport, to the time the driver dropped us off at the airport. Robi planned a cooking class for us, a private tour of a winery, a private tour of both old town Split and Dubrovnik, a boat tour of the Elaphiti islands, and even was able to provide us a driver at the last minute for unplanned fun! The hotel accommodations were beautiful and clean. Robi went out of his way to make this a special, unforgettable experience for us. Robi’s local, personal knowledge of the area and culture really made it a memorable trip. If I could give him 100 stars out of 5 I would.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel was clean, beautiful and had very friendly staff. The location to Old Town Split was very convenient with easy walking access to everything. The breakfast was delicious with a huge selection.
The hotel is spectacular. There are amazing views from the lobby and the rooms. The staff went out of their way to remember us and be helpful to us. We had to catch a very early flight and the staff made sure we had breakfast to go and a bellman to help us with our luggage. The location is not walkable but there’s easy access to reliable bus transportation and we never had trouble calling an uber. There is a huge indoor pool, a nice sized outdoor pool and a fantastic beach club. The breakfast options were great with a huge variety and delicious smoothies, coffee and juices. The room was big, clean, and comfortable.
Beautiful views and convenient for walking. The beds were comfortable. The carpet was a little worn but clean. Good breakfast.
Activity Reviews
Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He spoke great English and was very accommodating to our son.
The driver wass on time, friendly, and had a clearly marked sign for us.
Our chef was super accommodating to our dietary requests. My son and husband are not seafood eaters but the chef easily planned a menu around that. He took us to the markets, taught us stuff about the food and culture of Croatia and taught us three new dishes. He walked our son through bread making and taught me how to descale, gut, and cook a fresh fish. My husband, the more experienced cook in the family, even learned a thing or two. This class was one of the highlights of the trip.
The park was beautiful. It was our only rainy day of the trip and we still enjoyed the park.
Our driver/guide Robi was amazing. He lined up a private tour of a winery and took us to the salt mines which my husband really wanted to see. He gave us a personalized tour of the area and even introduced to his family. This day really made us feel special. Robi made our vacation spectacular. We could not have asked for a better time.
There’s a long ferry ride to the island from Split but once you get there it’s a pretty little place.
The winery was very interesting even for our 11 year old. The wine was delicious!
The guide was super informative and knowledgeable. She really specialized the tour for what we showed interest in and was so sweet to our 11 year old who was not nearly as interested in history as the adults.
The boat trip was so fun. We went in October and it was too cool to swim but seeing the islands and the tiny towns was super interesting. Our guide was very friendly and a good captain. He had a cooler full of drinks ready for us.
Our driver was on time and helpful.
