Adria Paradies is the perfect name for this property. It started with a warm greeting from the owner's mom. Even though she didn't speak English, she got us right to Marinko. Whenever we saw her around after that, she was always smiling and quick to say hello. Marinko welcomed us with a quick tour around the property and offered drinks up while we waited for our room to be ready...which it was within 30 minutes of our arrival (even though we got there well before check in). He is an amazing host who is delightful to sit around and chat with. The room itself was perfect. There was a living room with small kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom. The minute we walked into the living room, we had the most amazing view. It was like a post card. But, walking out onto the balcony took our breath away. It was huge with a table and chairs, overlooking the pool and the sea. There was a rack for drying our wet suits and towels and an extra lounger to kick back and relax. Finally a full roll out shade to keep the sun off late in the day. The apartment was spotless. In addition to the futon in the living area, there was a table and chairs to eat and, a TV for the evenings. The small kitchen had everything we needed. The bedroom had a large comfy bed with full doors out to the balcony covered with mosquito netting. There was a large armoire and tables on each side of the bed. For clothing overflow, there was a set of drawers in the entry way. The bathroom was efficient and clean...plenty of hot water in the shower and room for toiletries. The property itself is just spectacular. There are multiple levels along the water with plenty of chairs to lay out on. There are umbrellas available to us if you want more shade. There is a nice easy, graded entry into the crystal clear water. There are also spots were you can dive in if you prefer. Bring shoes for the rocks and to avoid sea urchins. If the sea isn't for you, there's a good sized pool for your use with a kiddie area for the little ones. Bring beach towels or buy them in town. Other than that, the apartment has everything there. In June, we needed mosquito spray, not sure about the rest of the year. Just come prepared to relax!
I really could go on and on about this property (and I hate to give away what I feel is a secret hideaway), but I will finish by saying we couldn't have made a better choice and I highly recommend a stay here. It's truly Paradise!!!
