The Medora Auri in Podgora is in a fantastic location! The hospitality team can help you with anything you need - excursions or renting a car - and I found that booking these things directly with the hotel was better value for money but equally fantastic service. Renting a car was super easy, the car was brought to the hotel and picked up from there also so no faffing or inconvenience. Also, excursions and trips were arranged brilliantly, picked up and dropped off at the hotel doors.
The main town, Makarska is very close and easy to get to (10 minute taxi/bus ride but can also be reached with a nice stroll along the promenade) and has all the main links to boat trips to the islands, day trips to Krka National Park or Dubrovnik etc. Both Podgora and Makarska have wonderful communities that made my holiday fantastic.
The restaurants and supermarkets were also great, plenty of choice and multiple options for children etc. Hotel food was great, buffet style with almost anything you could want. I was very impressed with the hotel’s consideration for guests with food allergies - such as myself. Everything is picture labelled clearly with allergens and they have a “gluten free corner” and also many options for dairy allergies etc. I had expected to do as I always do in holiday and take a guess and hope for the best but was very very pleased to have had the luxury of knowing what I could eat!
Stunning beach also, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
