Medora Auri Family Beach Resort

This was a last minute booking with my niece via TUI. We were a bit put off by a 2 hour transfer but in the end the bus was lovely and it was fine - nice to see the beautiful scenery enroute too! The hotel itself mostly exceeded all expectations - we had a double with partial sea view. You can make special requests so I asked for a high room. There’s 16 floors and we were on floor 15 and had a hug sea view. Ours was a tiny balcony but that was fine as we only used the room to sleep and shower anyway. The room was much bigger than I was expecting - really clean with fresh towels daily and gorgeous shower gel, hand soap and moisturiser - they also supplied little vanity caps and shower gel. Good light in the bath room for make up and there was also a plug right outside the bath room so could have mirror for hairdryer and straighteners. We requested a twin but got a huge queen bed which was fine for us. There was also a little chair that doubles up as a sofa bed with a spare duvet in the wardrobe. Plenty of wardrobe space and hangers with loads of shelves. Plugs by the bed although no USB charging ports which lots of hotels have these days. Fridge but no water provided as local water is fine to drink from the tap. We had breakfast only as that’s standard but we both hate eating early so we only had a coffee and croissant for later - the tables honestly are a bit crammed and I always had to wait for the croissants and it was a minor bun fight! I’ve been to lots of all inclusive and never had this issue before - they could do with offering bigger variety of pastries, breads etc. they have auto drinks machines for water, juice and coffee which I guess meant we didn’t have to wait for table service. All in all good we weren’t confined to the restaurant as they always feel a bit like a school canteen but all in all was clean - just way too cramped for my liking. All rooms, bars and the restaurant had views over the gorgeous sea and Mountain View’s - just stunning really! We particularly enjoyed the egg chairs in the reception bar and our routine became coming to the bar 7pm and having some rose watching the sun set for 2hrs - was the most relaxing thing with super chill music playing and the staff were lovely but also didn’t pester or get too involved. There was another bar downstairs on the ground floor where I guess all the families and kids went as it was always so quiet in the beautiful reception bar - suited us down to the ground! Re sunbathing - you get the stairs of the lifts down to level 2 to get to the beach. You grab beach towels from level 6 pool and then go and pick up your sun beds and sunbrellas from the promenade in level 2 and find your spot. The first few days we pootled about and so all the sunbrellas had gone so we figured getting to the beach before 8am to get your spot and set up your sunbrella before getting brekkie was the way forward. We got a spot right on the shoreline - was just idyllic really - as the beach is stones

The hotel is at a very high standard. The property is extremely clean and well maintained, creating a wonderful atmosphere for a relaxing holiday. The food was varied, fresh, and very tasty — there was something for everyone. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and always welcoming. One of the biggest advantages of the hotel is the beautiful view, the peace and quiet, and the beach located right next to the hotel. The beach was clean, well looked after, with enough sunbeds and umbrellas, making it a very comfortable place to relax. The hotel is definitely worth recommending and is a place we would happily return to. The only downside is the distance from the airport and the very expensive taxi prices.

Came with my girlfriend from Ukraine. We were not sure how it will look, but the transfer, the hotel itself and the beach were great. Staff was very friendly, rooms were clean and really nice. Hotel is in small quiet town, so not a lot to do other than eat and relax, but Makarska is close, like 10 minutes on a car if you want more fun activities.

The terrible staff attitude really let my experience down, otherwise this would have been 5/5. From the reception staff to the catering staff, they were all devoid of any pleasantries. However the bar staff by the beach were rude beyond belief, unable to offer anything other than the bare minimum of attention. Luckily they accepted I wasn’t paying for orders that weren’t completed. I’ll be heading somewhere else next year.

Good value for money, especially because the hotel is right on the beach. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The food was okay, but the quality could be improved, especially from a healthier food perspective. A few more fresh, lighter, and better-quality options would make the dining experience better. One thing that could also be improved is the organization of the sunbeds and umbrellas. It should not be fully self-service, because sometimes it is hard to find an available umbrella if you come a little later. A bit more order and support in this area would make the beach experience much better. I would also like to specifically mention Ljiljana and David from the restaurant. They were very friendly, polite, and welcoming, and they made our stay more enjoyable.

Everything is wonderful! It’s our second year back to Medora! Beach, pool, stuff and buffet! Would like to mention Ljiljana, David and Samantha the stuff from the buffet who are always so helpful and kind!

This is the 5th time me and my wife visit. The trip from Sweden to Split is very easy. We love the small village of Podgora. Medora Auri is everything you need in a hotel and the location is unbeatable. Very close to the beach with free towels, and sun beds. Water is really nice. Our room is small but clean only missing some hooks for towels. The breakfast is really nice with a great selection. Shout out to the people at the omelette station. The dinner can get a little dull BUT we could always find something that we enjoyed and the vegetables are very fresh and plentiful. Speaking of people. We have experienced a very good service from all the people that are working at Medora. Some come back every year and we know them on first name basis. Robert J at Taste of Indigo is very professional and friendly. Alisa and Karol at the hotel bar are great. Alisa made a great Irish coffee. Rupesh and Gopal always had a smile and greeted us every morning. This trip we also received a complementary bottle of wine from a manager. And to conclude the review we have booked another trip here first week of June 2026.

Best hotel ever! This was our third time and not the last Food, pool, staff service and all the rooms are amazing, we recomend it for everyone

Beautiful place to be in! Looks like it was renovated recently, smells lovely wherever you go. Staff very,very nice and polite, good food in restaurant.
