Luxury Apartments Kalajzić: Split - You Won't Believe This Place Exists! (And Honestly, It's Almost Perfect…)
Alright, buckle up, because I'm about to spill the beans on Luxury Apartments Kalajzić in Split. This place… this place… it's got serious potential to be the stuff of Instagram dreams. But, like all things (and especially me), it's not without its quirks. Let's dive in, shall we?

First Impressions (The "Oh My God, Is This Real Life?" Moment):
Pulling up, the place looks the part. Gleaming white walls, modern design, and that unmistakable "expensive" vibe. The entrance is sleek, and the Elevator made me breathe a sigh of relief (because, you know, stairs are the enemy after a long flight). Facilities for disabled guests seem well-considered generally, but more on that later. I'd seen photos, of course, but it's different in person. The Exterior corridor gives off a cool, modern feel.
Accessibility - The Good, The Maybe Not So Good:
Okay, let's talk accessibility, because let's be honest, it's a game-changer. Wheelchair accessible. They say it. And on the surface, it seems true. Ramps, wide doorways, the works. However, the devil, as they say, is in the details. While the common areas were generally okay, actually maneuvering into the Pool with view could be a challenge – the access wasn't as seamless as advertised. (A slight grumble there - I'm not even using a wheelchair, and it felt a bit… tricky.) This needs some serious attention. Plus, the information about the specific Accessibility details was a little scattered, which meant a few extra trips to the front desk to figure out the lay of the land.
The Room: My Sanctuary (Mostly):
My room? Gorgeous. Seriously, jaw-droppingly beautiful. Air conditioning blasting cold air (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!), a ridiculously comfortable Extra long bed, and a Seating area perfect for collapsing after a day of exploring. Loved the Blackout curtains – sleep is sacred, people! I also appreciated the attention to details like the Mirror which was situated in a way where I could actually see myself, the thoughtful Reading light, and the Laptop workspace. A nice touch. Free Wi-Fi was a lifesaver, and the Internet access – wireless was reliable… until it wasn’t. (More on that later.) But the real winner? The Shower. Powerful, hot, and glorious. The Bathroom was also stylish and well-appointed (if slightly confusing at first, but after a couple of looks it got a bit clearer), and the Bathrobes were a godsend. There were thoughtful things like Toiletries and Hair dryer, and the Mini bar stocked with goodies. However, I did have a question; I thought all rooms should have a Window that opens but mine seemed to have a sealed, closed unit. That was a bit disappointing.
Room - The Imperfections: I must admit, that I found some imperfections. The Alarm clock was something right out of the 80's. The Desk was in a strange location and sometimes I found myself hitting something. I would rate the room as 9/10.
Wi-Fi Woes (The "Why Won't You Work?" Moment):
Okay, so about that Internet access – wireless. It was advertised as Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!. Most of the time, it was fine, but there were periods where I could barely get a signal. This is a major problem for, you know, living in the modern world. Especially in a place that caters to travellers. If I need to work or stream a show, the Wi-Fi is an absolute necessity. The Internet [LAN], was, thankfully, a backup option, but come on, people, get the Wi-Fi sorted!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (The Foodie Adventure):
The Restaurants, oh the Restaurants. The main restaurant, was a Buffet in restaurant and the one where I took meals. The food was… varied. Let's just say that. The Breakfast [buffet] was the source of both joy and minor despair. The International cuisine in restaurant was decent, but the Asian breakfast… well, let’s just say it wasn’t exactly authentic. I did appreciate the Coffee/tea in restaurant, but the coffee was a hit-or-miss situation for me. The Poolside bar was a lifesaver for cooling off amidst the heat. I did appreciate the Bottle of water they placed in the room and, the Desserts in restaurant. However, the place missed the mark about the Salad in restaurant and Soup in restaurant. The Room service [24-hour] was a godsend after a long day, but it's not ideal for everyday dining. The service was a little slow, but the pizza was worth the wait.
Things to Do / Ways to Relax (The "Treat Yourself" Section):
Pool with view! Incredible I had a chance to actually experience that. A total highlight. The Swimming pool [outdoor] was clean and refreshing. I saw the Sauna and the Spa/sauna, and it got me to think about how to use them. The Sauna and the Steamroom offered decent relaxation. The thought of a Body scrub, Body wrap or Massage was enticing, also there was a Gym/fitness and a Fitness center.
Cleanliness and Safety (The "Is It Germ-Free?" Factor):
This is where Kalajzić shines. The Daily disinfection in common areas was evident, and the staff seemed genuinely committed to hygiene. I saw Hand sanitizer everywhere! Anti-viral cleaning products were clearly used. I really liked the Individually-wrapped food options, especially at the buffet. The staff was awesome and the Staff trained in safety protocol. So, if you're worried about that, this is a solid choice.
Services and Conveniences (The "They Thought of Everything, Almost" Bit):
The Concierge was super helpful, always ready with a recommendation or a map. The Laundry service and Dry cleaning were a huge convenience. Daily housekeeping was top-notch. I used the Ironing service, which was a lifesaver. There was a Convenience store nearby, but I would have liked the one in the hotel. The Luggage storage came in handy.
For the Kids (Because Family Vacations Are a Thing):
Family/child friendly is a definite check. I appreciated the Babysitting service and the Kids meal, but I didn't see any dedicated play areas.
Getting Around (The "Where Does This Road Go?" Stuff):
Airport transfer was smooth and stress-free. Car park [free of charge] was a bonus.
The Quirks (And, Honestly, It’s What Makes It Interesting):
- The Lighting: The lighting was intense in the hallways. Like, blindingly bright. And then, in the room, it was all mood lighting. There’s no in-between!
- The Music: The elevator music… was bizarrely upbeat, especially at 7 am. It's like they're trying to force cheerfulness.
- The Signage: The room numbers were hidden. It took me about five minutes to find mine the first time.
- The Breakfast Staff: Some were amazing, and some seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. The mix was a bit jarring.
The Verdict (The "Would I Go Back?"):
Overall, Luxury Apartments Kalajzić is a fantastic base for exploring Split. The rooms are stunning, the location is great, and the staff (mostly) are lovely. The issues with accessibility (which need immediate attention!) and the occasional Wi-Fi glitch are minor annoyances. The food could be more consistent. Do I REALLY feel like I could go there again? Yes! I’m willing to overlook the minor hiccups because the good outweighed the bad. The emotional reaction: I would rate this the best place to stay. The imperfections, the ups and downs, the quirks… it feels real. I'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10. Just fix the Wi-Fi, guys! And that accessible pool access, please. Otherwise, get ready for a truly memorable Split experience!

Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into my Split, Croatia adventure. Specifically, the glorious, sun-drenched, and sometimes slightly chaotic, world of Apartments Kalajzic. Consider this less a rigid itinerary and more…a suggestion, a whisper, of how I might attempted to get through each day. Because let's be honest, "planned" and "me" rarely exist in the same sentence.
Day 1: Arrival & That First, Glorious Croatian Beer
- 8:00 AM (Roughly): Wake up, utterly bewildered by the airport. Okay, more accurately, struggle to wake up. Jet lag? More like "I forgot how to human". Finally, gather my scattered belongings (and my sanity…or what was left of it) and stumble out of the airport. The sun is already trying to melt my face. Classic.
- 9:15 AM (ish): Find a pre-arranged shuttle to Apartments Kalajzic. (Shout out to me for actually booking something in advance!) It's a slightly tense ride, mostly because the driver's playing euro-pop at a volume that could shatter glass. But hey, at least the scenery is beautiful. And the air smells of the sea. Sold.
- 10:30 AM (Give or take a minor breakdown): Arrive at Kalajzic. The apartment? Honestly, pretty darn cute. Tiny balcony. Potential for serious sun-soaking. My heart actually did a little happy flip.
- 11:00 AM - Noon (The "Unpack, then immediately abandon the unpacking" phase): Briefly attempt to organize luggage. Fail miserably. Decided I need immediate sustenance.
- Noon - 2:00 PM: Wander aimlessly into Split's Old Town. Get lost in narrow, winding streets. Get completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of ancient history. Seriously, Diocletian's Palace? Mind. Blown. Find a little café. Order a beer. (The first of many, let's be real.) Sip it slowly, savoring the cold, crisp, Croatian joy. That beer, right there, was a moment of pure bliss. Pure. Effing. Bliss. No regrets. None.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Explore the Riva promenade. People-watch (majorly). Buy a ridiculously expensive ice cream. (Worth it.) Take approximately a million photos. Realize I have no idea where I'm going. Get even MORE lost. Decide that's totally okay. This is what travel is all about, ya know?
- 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Shower. Change. Contemplate ordering pizza. Contemplate actually going out for dinner and not just eating the pizza in bed. The social butterfly within me briefly emerged, then fled in terror.
- 8:00 PM: Pizza it is. And a second, smaller beer. Maybe a third. (This is where the "messy" starts to really kick in, folks.) Fall asleep mid-pizza, dreaming of ancient emperors and gelato. Brilliant.
Day 2: Islands, Sunshine, and Seasickness (Maybe?)
- 9:00 AM (Attempted): Wake up. Actually kinda feel… okay? Miraculous. I need to start wearing sunscreen more often.
- 10:00 AM: Scrounge together breakfast from whatever I found in the local shops. Coffee. Pretend to be a health nut. Look at my map (which I'm pretty sure is upside down).
- 11:00 AM: Ferry to Hvar. OMG, The Croatian islands are stunning. A million shades of blue, turquoise in the shallow spots, and the smell of salt and sea air wafting on the breeze.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Hvar): Explore Hvar Town. Climb the fortress. Take a million photos (again). Get slightly freaked out at the price of everything. Eat lunch with a view that makes my heart do a little flutter. The food was good, but the view? Priceless.
- 4:00 PM: Ferry back to Split. Note: Slight queasiness detected. Pray to the sea gods that I don't lose my lunch.
- 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM: Back to Kalajzic. Crash. Nap. Reflect on all the sunburn I'm definitely getting.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Dinner in the Old Town. Find a restaurant that doesn't require a second mortgage to eat at. Order fresh seafood. Devour it. Feel slightly less guilty about the pizza-in-bed incident the night before.
- 9:00 PM - Whenever: Stroll along the Riva. Listen to the music. Soak up the atmosphere. Get mildly obsessed with the idea of buying a small sailboat. (This will definitely not happen. But a girl can dream, right?)
Day 3: Marjan Hill, Market Mayhem, and Unexpected Tears
- 8:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Curse the sun for being so damn persistent. Attempt a workout (because, you know, I'm on vacation). Fail miserably.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Hike to Marjan Hill. Oh. My. God. The view! Seriously, the panoramic vista over Split and the Adriatic Sea is something else. Gasp. Stop every five minutes because my legs are screaming. Take a million more pictures. (I take more pictures than I blink!)
- 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM: Explore the Green Market (Pazar). Get overwhelmed by the vibrant colors and the scent of fresh produce. Attempt to haggle (badly) for some fruit. Realize I'm probably being ripped off, but embrace it.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Lunch. Something cheap and cheerful. People-watch again.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Unexpected moment. While wandering through a tiny, tucked-away alley, I stumble upon a street musician playing a beautiful, haunting melody. I stop. Listen. And, for some completely irrational reason, start to cry. Blubbering mess. All the beauty and history and sunshine just hit me all at once, and… yeah. Tears. Feel absolutely, gloriously ridiculous and also deeply moved. This is travel, people!
- 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Take a long, calming shower (to wash off, you know, the crying).
- 7:00 PM - Late (Because who knows?): Dinner. Another attempt to embrace the local cuisine. Reflect on the day. Laugh at myself. Feel incredibly grateful. Maybe a few more beers. Maybe more wandering. Maybe just falling asleep on the balcony, gazing at the stars and wondering how I'll ever leave this place. (Spoiler alert: I won't want to.)
Day 4: Departure (Maybe…or Maybe Not?)
- 9:00 AM (if I'm lucky): Wake up. The dreaded "packing" situation. Face the brutal and undeniable truth that this trip is nearing its end.
- 10:00 AM: Try to stuff all my newly acquired treasures (and maybe some extra clothes I didn't wear) into my suitcase. Realize I've bought way too many souvenirs. Panic.
- 11:00 AM: One last stroll through the Old Town. One last ice cream. One last look at the sea. One last attempt to memorize everything.
- 12:00 PM: Return to Kalajzic. A little sad. A little tired. But mostly…full. Full of sunshine, and history, and laughter, and beer, and the memory of that damn street musician and a moment of pure, inexplicable beauty.
- 1:00 PM: Shuttle to the airport. The ride back is quieter. The euro-pop is replaced with a strange sense of calm.
- 2:00 PM: Airport. Security. The whole shebang.
- 3:00 PM: Waiting for my flight, I suddenly have a deep urge to just…stay. To find a way to stay forever.
- 4:00 PM: Take-off. Look out the window. Wave goodbye to Split, and Croatia. The memory is going to last a lifetime.
So there you have it. A glimpse into my imperfect, messy, and utterly unforgettable adventure in Split. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! And remember: Embrace the unexpected. Get lost on purpose. And always, always, order the beer. You won't regret it.
Silvassa's Hidden Gem: Hotel Soubhagya Inn - Unbelievable Prices!
Okay, Spill the Beans! Are These Apartments Actually Luxurious? Because, Let's Be Honest, "Luxury" Gets Thrown Around a LOT.
Alright, alright, let's get real. "Luxury" is like that ex that *always* promises to change. But listen, Kalajzić? Yeah, it's the real deal. I stayed there last summer. The view from my balcony? Lord have mercy. I swear, I spent a solid hour just, *staring*. And not in a creepy, "I'm-stalking-the-neighbors" kind of way, more like, "Wow, the Adriatic is showing off today" kind of way. The furniture? Actually comfortable. I mean, you can sink into the couch and practically *become* one with it. And the sheets? Crisp, clean, and made me want to roll around like a giant, happy burrito. Honestly, I'm picky, *very* picky. But Kalajzić... it's legit. No cheap IKEA stuff here, trust me. It's like living in a magazine...but you can actually spill your wine on the floor and not be stressed about it (okay, maybe a little stressed, but you get the point!).
How Close Are You *Really* to the Action? I Don't Want to Be Stuck Out in the Boonies, You Know?
Okay, look, I'm a city girl. Give me a bustling street corner, give me the smell of fresh pizza (or, in Split's case, amazing seafood), give me people! And the location of Kalajzić? Spot on. You're close enough to walk EVERYWHERE. The Riva (the waterfront promenade)? Hop, skip, and a jump. Diocletian's Palace? Totally doable. You're right in the heart of it, but you also feel a little bit escaped if you want to. I walked to a bakery every morning for *the best* burek I've ever tasted. Seriously, if I could, I’d smuggle them back home. My biggest problem? Deciding *which* amazing restaurant to try each night. Oh, and the gelato… the gelato was an addiction. It's so close, you can hit the gelato shop multiple times a day, (I might have done this). Bonus: less time in taxis, more time sipping cocktails overlooking the Adriatic. Perfection.
Parking! Ugh. Is Parking a Nightmare? Because I've Got an SUV and I'm Not a Fan of Tiny Croatian Streets.
Okay, parking in Split, generally? It's...an experience. Let's just say I've developed a whole new appreciation for parallel parking, even if it was a bit tricky. Luckily, Kalajzić usually has parking available. The parking is something you have to coordinate with them. It's not like, some massive parking garage, but it's *there*. Which is a massive relief. Check with the owners, they'll give you the lowdown on the best spots and the availability. But consider this: You'll realistically be walking everywhere once you get settled, so perhaps leaving the car parked is a great idea. My friend and I went for a walk and actually got lost at one point!. It took us on an adventure, which I would not have experienced if I was driving.
Seriously Though, Is the Wi-Fi Reliable? I Need to Post All My Amazing Vacation Pics (and Maybe, You Know, Get Some Zoom Calls Done).
Oh, the Wi-Fi. The bane of every modern traveler's existence. I get it. You *need* to share those sunset photos on the 'gram. (And yes, I totally get the need for those Zoom calls, gotta keep up with the work from somewhere, am I right?) The Wi-Fi at Kalajzić? Generally good. I had no major issues, unless the sun was shining, the beach was calling, and I just *couldn't.* The speed was fine for my needs: uploading photos, streaming shows (gotta recharge those travel batteries!), and actually managing to do some work. Don't expect lightning-fast fiber optic, but it's definitely reliable enough to keep you connected. Just don't expect the strongest signal possible from your balcony, sometimes the walls get in the way. But who wants to be inside when you can be *outside*?
Are the Apartments Family-Friendly? I'm Bringing the Whole Crew (Including the Teenager Who Thinks Everything is "Lame").
From what I've seen, yes. The apartments are spacious. You will have more than enough room for your family. I'd say consider sending your teenager out on their own, so they do not complain, it is much better that way. The kitchens are well-equipped (important for keeping everyone fed!). It allows for that home-away-from-home feel, which is great if you're traveling with kids. The location, being so close to everything, makes it easy to get around and find activities for everyone. Just, you know… pack extra snacks. Travel life has its ups and downs, especially with children and teenagers. I would know.
What About the Vibe? Is It Party Central, or More Relaxed? Because I'm Looking for a Relaxing Getaway (and I need my beauty sleep).
Okay, so this is important. Party central? Not really. At least, not right *on* top of the apartment. You're in the city, so yes, there's nightlife, and you will hear it. But it's not a constant, thumping bass from your window until 4 AM. The vibe at Kalajzić itself is more…chill. Relaxed. If you're looking for a quiet, serene retreat, it's perfect. If you're looking for a place to pre-game *before* you hit the clubs, well, you've found the perfect spot. You will be able to recover the next day. I think it strikes a lovely balance because it's close to the action, but also offers a great space to relax and recharge. I can attest to sleeping like a baby and waking up the next morning ready to explore! And after a long day of exploring, a comfortable bed and a quiet apartment is the *best* thing in the world. The apartment has everything you could need and more.
Okay, I'm Almost Convinced. What's the *Biggest* Thing That Would Make Me Hesitate? Like, What's the Real Downside?
Alright, here's the honest truth. The *only* thing that gave me pause (and it's a tiny one) is that... you *might* not want to leave. Seriously. When I was there, it was like I had to drag myself out of the apartment every day. The comfortable bed, the gorgeous views, the *peace*... it's addictive. I found myself creating excuses to stay in. "Oh, I need to do 'research' on the wine selection!" "I'm gonna 'study' the sunset!" You've been warned. It's a luxurious trap. But honestly, even thatUnleash the Magic: Tamarind Tree Secrets of Masinagudi & Ooty!
