Nice 4* hotel at the beach. Hotel is located about 20-30m from the beach, has its own swimming pool (10-12m), depth 1,5m + small one for little children. We had paid for breakfast and dinner (dinner is chosen during the breakfast from 3 meals). Drinks for the dinners are not included in dinner's price, so you need to pay for it separately. We quite liked the stay here. Šibenik-Knin
