Hotel Stipe

The good: - it seems to be a family business with very friendly and motivated people - from the few restaurants in that small village, we had the best food right there in the hotel - the view from the restaurant at the bay is amazing - easily reachable with good parking The bad: - The view and reachability come at a price: The hotel is located right next to the main road. So you have to walk a little to get to the beach (5 min walk to beach, 10 min back because you have to go uphill). You can go to the beach by car, but the parking space there is either crowded or to be paid for. With children it'd be cumbersome to get to the beach, but since we did not have any, we just considered it part of our "sports" program to take the walk and get rid of some calories we gained from rather large holiday rations of food :) Traffic noise from the road was not a problem;

It's a small family hotel. According to some previous reviews I didn't expect a lot but concerning the low price I didn't care too much. Room was nice, better then expected. We even got a bigger room (apartment) then we reserved. WiFi was free, and it was working which is quite unusual for cheap hotels. Breakfast buffet was not reach, but, what do you expect from hotel in which room with breakfast for two adults and a kid cost less then a night in cheap hotel in Brussels? Drage, wheret hotel is, is located on half way between Zadar and Sibenik. If you are planning to visit these two cities it's great location. Do not miss national park Krka as well. The only bad thing is that hotel is located at Adriatic highway, so, opening window during night is not so good idea due to noise in the morning.

An exceptional family run hotel. Excellent restaurant, fantastic views-brilliant!!
