Just retuned from The Rosina and very impressed with the quaility throughout.Spacious room/suite on 1st floor and stylish restaurant and outdoor terrace where we ate breakfast and dinner for our 10 night stay .Food at breakfast and dinner was very good quality---(croissants to die for!) and lots of various breads and fruit and evfen hot breakfast if required. Dinner was also of a very good standard.
With the exception of the Swedish owner who was certainly an ice-maiden---a smile and a "Good Morning" would have been welcome and these cost nothing, the rest of the staff- waitresses and reception and domestic staff were very friendly and courteous. However this is the only criticism---maybe she had worries on her mind!
Anyway it is a lovely hotel and inspite of the walk down to the main promenade far surpassed other hotels we have stayed at previously in Croatia.

Our light and airy room was on the top floor at the front overlooking the sea. The balcany was sunny & had a small area for drying clothes. The room itself was great - a large double bed, small (but fine) shower room & a large sitting area with TV etc. (the rooms at the back of the hotel are slightly smaller). There is some noise from the road but it didn't worry us.
We stayed at the end of the season (last 2 weeks September) which appears much quieter but the hotel still provided dinner when required although didn't have the full menu available. What we had was good. Breakfast had a good choice & was buffet style, but again reduced in choice as the number of guests decreased.
The staff and owners were great - very friendly & helpful. On the last day they offered for us to stay in our room until flight departure (late afternoon) without us needing to request it.
We'd go back with no hesitation

Just got back from Mackarska, 1st time in Croasia. Buitiful place, spectactular views. This Hotel is 1st class, very relaxing and friendly. About 10 mins down the bank to the shingle beach, about 20 mins to town center. Reasonable prices at the bar/cafes along the marina. I would recomend the EVO restuarant, you pass it on the main road on your way down to the town centre, its more expesive than cafe's but has a very good fish and grill menu. The meat plate for 2 is worth a try, with drinks and a half bottle of wine its around £25.
There is a pizza style bar/cafe next to the Rosina Hotel called Monacco which is very good. Its mainly Croasians use it but dont let that put you off. It has a very good menu, not only pizza, but a good meat and fish selection also. We ate there 3 times. 1st time we had mushroom soup, rump streak, bolegnase lassagne, side salad and 2 or 3 drinks each. The meal was excellent and under £20

We stayed in Makarska for two weeks in August. It was a first visit to Croatia. We were pleasantly surprised with the beauty of the country and hospitality of its people. Croatia offers an European service of good quality. The Rosina Hotel is a new and modern hotel. The rooms, overlooking the Adriatic sea, are big and comfortble. What is peculiar in the room is a sitting/TV lounge , separated from the sleeping area. In our room there was a big terrace, where you can watch a sunset in the evening while having a glass of wine. The hotel is located along a noisy highway, but the soundproof windows at the hotel protect your sleeping at night. The staff at the hotel was very professional and friendly. 10 minute walk down the hill from the hotel to the coastline. If you take right on the seaside promenade you can find a less crowded beaches.
