Hotel A'mare Zadar Croatia

Escape to Paradise: Hotel A'mare Zadar - Your Croatian Dream Awaits!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive deep into Escape to Paradise: Hotel A'mare Zadar - and trust me, I’ve got some feelings. Forget the airbrushed brochure, this is going to be a messy, honest, and hopefully hilarious review. Let's GO!

Escape to Paradise: Hotel A'mare Zadar - The Almost Perfect Croatian Getaway (with a few hiccups!)

Right, so Zadar. Absolutely stunning. Croatia? Check. Dream awaiting? Well, almost. Hotel A'mare promises an escape, and on many levels, it delivers. Let's break this down, shall we? This isn't just a review, it's a journey.

First Impressions: Accessibility and the "Almost" Promise

Okay, so the promise of accessibility is definitely there. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests. Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I did poke around. Elevator, check. Generally, the public areas seem pretty accessible, but double-check details if you require specific accommodations. Because, let’s be real, “accessible” is sometimes a wish and a prayer, not a guarantee. Now, getting around, it's a breeze. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Valet parking – all the things. I didn't have to fight for a spot, a small win in my book.

Wired In (and Wi-Fi Wildness)

Okay, internet. Important, right? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! And in public areas. The Wi-Fi was… well, let's just say it fluctuated like my mood swings after too much strong coffee. Sometimes blazing fast, sometimes a snail's pace. Now, they also had Internet Access – LAN. Remember those? (Show of hands if you’re over 30!).

The "Things to Do" & "Ways to Relax" Extravaganza (or, How I Spent My Time)

The hotel boasts a wealth of relaxation options. Spa, sauna, steamroom, the whole shebang. I love a good sauna. And good massage. I indulged in a massage, honestly. It was… amazing. I could have stayed there all day, lost in the world of essential oils and skilled kneading. Seriously, worth it. The pool with a view? Stunning. Genuinely Instagrammable. But here's the thing… everyone wants to be in the pool with a view. So, it's crowded. Seriously crowded. I recommend going early, or late, to get some peace. The fitness center? Well, I intended to go, but you know… too much beer.

Cleanliness and Safety: The Pandemic Pivot

This is where A'mare really shines. With the world as it is, they've really stepped up. The Anti-viral cleaning products, staff trained in safety protocols, hand sanitizer everywhere. Daily disinfection in common areas. Room sanitization opt-out available (a nice touch). They were clearly taking it seriously.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Gastronomic Gauntlet

Okay, food. A critical component of any holiday, right? A'mare offers a lot. Restaurants, a poolside bar, even a snack bar (for those late-night cravings, like I had!). Breakfast [buffet] was a mixed bag. The variety was impressive. But the hot food was… sometimes lukewarm. They offer Asian breakfast, Vegetarian restaurant, and International Cuisine in restaurant - the food was pretty solid. The coffee shop served a decent cappuccino. The pool side bar was super fun - the drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was perfect.

Services and Conveniences: Perks and Pitfalls

Concierge? Helpful. Luggage storage? Convenient. Gift shop? Kitsch city (loved it!). The elevator was a lifesaver! Air conditioning in public areas? Essential. They also offer food delivery which is nice!

Rooms: Comfort and Caveats

My room? Air-conditioned, check. Blackout curtains? Bless them! A mini-bar (which I definitely used). Everything you'd expect. But here's a minor gripe: the "complimentary tea"… was just the standard nasty hotel tea bags. C'mon A'mare, upgrade! On the plus side, rooms are non-smoking, they have safe security features, and the bed was comfy.

For the Kids (and the Young at Heart!)

Family-friendly! Babysitting service (if you need it). Kids meal options. They seem to cater well to families.

Getting Around: Smooth Sailing (Mostly)

Airport transfer? Sorted. Taxi service? Readily available. Car park [free of charge]. Zadar's a walkable place, or you can grab a taxi. The bus system runs as well.

The "Quirks" and "Imperfections" (Because Let's Be Real)

Here's the real tea. No place is perfect.

The "Happy Hour" wasn't that happy.
The music in the bar… was sometimes a bit… elevator-y.
There's a shrine! Never saw it, or even knew it was there.

The Emotional Rollercoaster: My Hotel A'Mare Experience

I went in, I was skeptical, I worried about everything, and yet… it worked. I have a hard time relaxing, but I relaxed. It wasn't perfect, but the good outweighed the bad. The core experience was fantastic!

Hotel A'mare Zadar Croatia

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a week of sun, seafood, and probably at least one epic sunburn. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram travel reel. This is the REAL DEAL. My absolutely real, probably slightly-too-honest, and definitely-going-to-be-slightly-rambly itinerary for Hotel A'mare in Zadar, Croatia. Prep yourselves, because this is gonna be a wild ride.

Day 1: Arrival and Immediate Panic

Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrived at Zadar Airport. Huzzah! Except, wait… where's the shuttle? Turns out, I'd read the confirmation email slightly (read: entirely) wrong, and now I'm standing amidst a gaggle of confused tourists and trying to decipher Croatian phrases that sound suspiciously like someone dropped a bag of angry cats. Eventually, after a frantic phone call and a very sweaty walk, the shuttle arrives. My luggage, miraculously, survived the trip. Thank the heavens.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Check-in at Hotel A'mare. The photos LIED, in the best possible way. This place is ridiculously chic, like, my-apartment-is-a-moldy-shoe-box kind of chic. My room faces the sea, which is already making me tear up a little. (I'm a sap, what can I say?) First order of business: Unpack and try not to immediately wrinkle everything. Fail. My packing game will never be on par with my enthusiasm.
Evening (4:00 PM - Onwards): Wandering. Just wandering. Exploring the area around the hotel. The sound of the sea organ washing over me is like a lullaby, I spent an hour just drinking it in. Dinner at a seaside restaurant; the seafood was so fresh, it practically waved at me. Ordered too much, obviously, but NO REGRETS. Fell asleep listening to the waves. Glorious.

Day 2: The Riva's Allure (and My Near-Disaster)

Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Breakfast at the hotel. Another glorious spread, I am going to be so round when I get home. Then, off to explore the Riva. This place is postcard-worthy. Seriously, gobsmacked, so this is beauty. Sat for an hour, watching people cruise by. Croatia does something to you. I'm feeling more at home.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The Riva continues to deliver. Coffee, gelato, and then… DISASTER. I was so busy admiring the Roman Forum (or maybe the ridiculously attractive street musicians), that I managed to trip on a completely innocuous cobblestone and nearly face-planted into the Adriatic. Thankfully, a kind Croatian man caught me, saving both my dignity and the contents of my gelato. Mortified. But also, HUGE thanks to him, because I'm pretty sure that fall would have resulted in several broken bones and immediate embarrassment.
Evening (4:00 PM - Onwards): Cocktails at a bar with a view of the sunset. The Zadar sunset is legendary, and it didn't disappoint. Spent the evening laughing and talking to strangers. Real connection! It was good.

Day 3: Island Hopping. And, Well, Island Nearly-Sinking?

Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Boat trip time! I booked a day trip to the Kornati Islands, and the brochure promised idyllic beaches and crystal-clear waters. The reality was…mostly true. The islands are ridiculously beautiful, but the boat was overcrowded, and I'm convinced the engine was held together with duct tape and sheer willpower.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Snorkeling. This was the highlight. I saw more fish than I could name, the water was so perfectly clear. For exactly two hours. The sea turned into an angry beast with waves crashing everywhere.
Evening (4:00 PM - Onwards): Back to the hotel. I was drenched and exhausted. Decided to skip dinner and order room service along with a bath, it was much needed.

Day 4: The Roman Forum and Other Ruins

Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): History time! Zadar is full of Roman ruins. Wandered around the Forum. Really tried to soak in the history and appreciate my surroundings. But I kept getting distracted by the fact that I still almost fell into the ocean yesterday. Really, its my fault.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Lunch at a traditional konoba. The food was incredible. The waiter was a total charmer. Fell in love with Croatia.
Evening (4:00 PM - Onwards): Sunsets, sunets, sun sets. This time, a proper one. This time, by the sea organ. The sounds are truly magical. Spent an hour, just listening.

Day 5: Foodie Paradise

Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Okay, I woke up late, sue me! And I'm not sorry. Went to the local market. Bought olives, cheese, and some weird fruit I couldn't identify. The chaos, the smells, the sounds…it's all part of the experience.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Cooking class, baby! Learned how to make Peka (a traditional Croatian dish). I did not, in any stretch of imagination, become a master chef, but I had fun. And the food? Surprisingly delicious.
Evening (4:00 PM - Onwards): Dinner at a fancy restaurant. Celebratory meal. Another sunset, of course. Took photos and I am pretty sure I saw a shooting star while I was at it, I swear.

Day 6: Goodbye, Zadar. (Sob!)

Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Last stroll through the old town. One last cappuccino, one last gelato. Buying souvenirs. Cried to myself a little.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Relaxing. Reading by the pool, trying to soak in the last moments. It's almost a crime how quickly the vacation goes.
Evening (4:00 PM - Onwards): Packing. Which is basically a synonym for "stress." Trying to squeeze everything back into my suitcase. Dinner. Saying goodbye.

Day 7: Departure. And the Post-Vacation Blues.

Morning (8:00 AM): Back to the airport. Goodbyes. Tears. Already planning my return trip.

So, there you have it. My messy, imperfect, yet completely amazing week in Zadar. I'm exhausted but rejuvenated. My suitcase is overflowing, my bank account is lighter, and my heart is full. And I wouldn't trade a single, slightly-trippy, sometimes-stressful, always-delicious moment for anything. Zadar, you beautiful beast, I'll be back!

Hotel A'mare Zadar Croatia

Okay, spill the tea. Is Hotel A'mare Zadar REALLY paradise? 'Cause, you know, Instagram lies.

Okay, deep breaths. Paradise? Look, it's Croatia. Coastal. Gorgeous. A'mare… yeah, it's *close* to paradise. But let's be real, remember that time you thought you were buying designer jeans and they turned out to be… let's just say, *not* designer? It's like that. First off, the pictures? They're stunning. The reality? The lobby *does* look like a magazine spread. The pool *is* ridiculously inviting (though getting a prime sunbed is basically a battle of wills… and early mornings. Seriously, set your alarm). And the views? The Adriatic Sea is, well, it's just… *breathtaking*. Literally. You'll gasp like someone's stolen your breath. But paradise? Nah. My balcony door jammed the first day. Took them, like, two hours to fix it. Two hours of me and my luggage staring longingly at the view. I swear, the concierge looked faintly embarrassed when he finally arrived. And the breakfast buffet? Loads of food, but the coffee? Let's just say it needed *serious* help. Brought my own instant coffee the very next morning. Coffee snob, me? Maybe. (Don't judge.) Yet, it was pretty damn special to be there.

The rooms, dish on the rooms. Are they actually as sleek and modern as they look?

Okay, the rooms. They're… nice. Really nice. The design is clean, minimalist, all that. Think, you know, Instagram-worthy. My room, the Superior Sea View, was… well it was *superior*. But I peeked into my friend's room and let's say, it was less "superior" sea view and more "kinda sea view, if you lean *really* far out the window... and squint." The beds? Comfortable. The bathroom? Generally, clean. The shower pressure? Actually *good*. Which, honestly, is a win in my book. However, and this is a minor whine, the lighting in the room was… moody. Extremely moody. Like, "can't-actually-see-to-apply-makeup" moody. Had to do it by the window, which, depending on the time of day, meant I was either blinding myself or doing it in near darkness. Minor problems, I'd say. A little more lighting, more focus, and a good view really made the room stand out.

Let's talk location. Is it easy to get around, or am I going to be stuck in a tourist trap?

Okay, location. This is actually a *good* thing. A'mare is right on the edge of the action, close enough to Zadar's Old Town to be convenient, but far enough away to escape the absolute crush of people (especially during peak season). Walkable? Mostly, yes. You can stroll along the waterfront (gorgeous, by the way) into the city. It's a pleasant 20-30 minute walk. Or you can grab a taxi, which are readily available. Public transport? I can't really comment on that, since I had a taxi and relied upon them. The "tourist trap" thing? Zadar itself *is* a tourist destination. Let's not kid ourselves. But, the Hotel A'mare is well-placed. Some of the immediate area is a little, well, touristy. But the city center itself is beautiful and the hotel's proximity to it allows you to enjoy various options.

What about the food? The hotel restaurant – worth it, or should I venture out?

The hotel restaurant…hmmm. Okay, so, breakfast? Already mentioned the coffee situation. But, there’s a decent selection. The croissants were actually pretty good. The dinner? It was perfectly fine. Competent, even. Was it mind-blowing? Nah. Was it worth the price? Maybe not. But it's convenient. My advice? Enjoy the convenience for the first night or two, especially after a long journey. That way you'll relax instead of having to figure out where to go to eat. But, then, get out there and explore! Zadar has some *amazing* restaurants. The seafood? Unbelievable. Seriously, get the seafood. The local wines? Fantastic (and much cheaper than you'd think!). Don't be afraid to wander off the beaten path. Ask the hotel staff for recommendations. They might be a little biased, but they're probably good.

Let's talk about the pool. It looks AMAZING in the photos. Be honest. Is it overcrowded? Are there enough sunbeds?

The pool. Oh, the pool. *Sigh*. It *is* gorgeous. Infinity edge, overlooking the sea. Insta-GOLD, right? And it's generally a lovely place to be. But... the sunbed situation? It's a bloodsport, people. A full-on, Hunger Games-esque scramble. I swear, I saw people setting out their towels at 6 AM. SIX IN THE FREAKING MORNING. I’m not even kidding. I tried, I really did. But my internal alarm clock is set to a less aggressive time of day. I gave up. I ended up just snagging a patch of grass and basking in the sun, which wasn't the end of the world. So, yes, the pool is beautiful. But be prepared for a fight if you want a prime sunbed. Or, you know, embrace the grass. And try not to get *too* jealous of the people who seem to have a sunbed permanently reserved.

Any insider tips or hidden gems you uncovered during your stay? Spill!

Okay, insider tips. First, pack earplugs. The seagulls are relentless. And, trust me, you *will* hear them. Second, take a sunset cruise. Zadar's sunsets are legendary, and seeing them from the water... *chef's kiss*. Third, explore the little side streets in Old Town. You'll find hidden cafes, quirky shops, and a genuine sense of the city's soul that you won't get from the main tourist drag. Fourth, the staff at the hotel, generally, were really helpful and friendly. Though, the luggage guy was MIA when my balcony door broke. And, my absolute *best* tip? Don't over-plan. Leave room for spontaneity. Croatia has a way of surprising you, of drawing you in, of making you want to just… wander. Embrace it. Get lost. It’s part of the magic.

Would you go back? Honestly?

Would I go back? Hmm. Look, A'mare has its flaws. Nothing is perfect. The breakfast coffee was a tragedy, the sunbed situation was a war zone, the lighting in my room was a crime against makeup artists everywhere. But... the location was excellent. The views? Incredible. The overall vibe? Relaxing and beautiful. I really loved being there. Really. So, yeah, I'd probably go back. Maybe I'd bring my own coffee pot. And maybe I'd set that damn alarm for 5:30 AM. Probably. AbsolutelyCozy Stay Spots
