Arkada stands by the sea in the Helios area of Stari Grad, among pines, a pleasant walk around the bay from the historic centre. It is one of the classic holiday hotels of the island rather than a design property, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Facilities are broad for the price: indoor and outdoor pools, a beach in front, tennis and basketball courts, mini golf, volleyball, a fitness room and a Chill and Play zone for kids, with buffet meals and all inclusive options available. Parts of the building show their age, which guests tend to forgive at this price point.
It suits families and anyone who wants an active, uncomplicated seaside week with Stari Grad nearby.
