Dugi Otok, Zadar hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very friendly and helpful staff & tasty food . The staff at the reception, at the pool bar and at the restaurant is very pleasant, professional and helpful. All the rooms have balconies with magnificent sea view. It is a very quiet and convenient location to explore some of the island attractions. Keep in mind that the train service to sakarun beach is not available anymore. It is a good place to rest and connect with the nature, since the village is very small and not crowded at all. We enjoyed it and looking forward to visiting again. "

"Villa Nai 3.3 offers more than just a place to stay; it’s a luxurious, serene experience nestled in a century-old olive grove. With only a few rooms, the atmosphere is peaceful and exclusive, giving the impression of a private retreat. The olive oils produced on-site have won prestigious international awards, and the owner may personally offer a complimentary tour if he’s around. The cuisine is refined and of high quality, making dining elsewhere unnecessary during the stay. While the 7-course tasting menu is impressive, it includes 10 courses, which can feel a bit heavy. Homemade croissants are occasionally underbaked, but overall the food is excellent, and the signature cocktails by the pool are a must-try. The only suggestion for improvement would be to add a pillow menu. In short, Villa Nai 3.3 delivers a tranquil, high-end experience that fully justifies its price."
