Jerolim Island, Split-Dalmatia hotel rooms at the Independent

"My wife and I were greeted by resort staff after arriving from the ferry and they brought our luggage to the lobby for us. The facilities were the best we experienced on our 10-day trip through Croatia. All the front desk staff and dining staff were friendly and gave us excellent service. The area around the resort was beautiful and everywhere we wanted to see was within walking distance. We would absolutely stay here again. "

"Beds and bed linens were perfection, staff was amazing. The breakfast was the best we've ever had included in a hotel, fresh self serve options and fast, menu ordering. Very impressed!"

"Wonderful location and lovely hotel."

"Fantastic stay with the highest level of service. Great breakfast and wonderful concierge. "

"The only thing I want to comment on is the loud music all day long everywhere! Couldn't escape it! "

"Very helpful and welcoming reception staff. Lovely hotel . Excellent breakfast . Just 2 things to note, drain in shower is blocked and the toilet flush button is very , very hard to push . Apart from that we had a lovely stay . Thank you "

"Beautiful view from balcony and just a short walk to rat beach or 10-15 minutes walk to Bol for an evening stroll with a drink before heading back. "

"Enjoyed my stay here and would stay again. Walking distance to the downtown stretch and beautiful harbor views. As typical there is no AC and only a sheet is provided as cover on the bed. There was a standing fan tho, and the balcony was a great addition!"

"Starting with the positive, this hotel truly shines when it comes to its proximity to the beach and local attractions. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. However, our recent stay was unfortunately marred by a series of issues that impacted our experience. In one of our rooms, we encountered a clogged shower and a broken air conditioning unit, making for an uncomfortable stay. The refrigerator was also noticeably dirty upon arrival. In the second room, the AC unit was leaking. These maintenance issues are simply unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber. Considering we booked this hotel specifically for its beach amenities, we were severely let down, for two out of our four days, the hotel ran out of beach towels by 10 AM, with staff unable to provide any estimate for when more would be available. Furthermore, the hotel's beach chairs were completely claimed by 5 AM every morning, forcing us to pay for external chairs daily. This completely negated one of the primary reasons we chose this hotel. To compound these problems, the hotel staff seemed indifferent to our concerns. When we brought these issues to their attention, while they addressed them, there was a distinct lack of empathy or urgency to resolve them. A more friendly and proactive approach from the staff would have gone a long way in mitigating our frustration. While the location is undeniably a major draw, the multitude of problems was notable. "
