Best family hotels Croatia are hotels adapted to family needs. Family hotels Croatia offer family rooms, full board meal plans, entertainment and activities for all age groups. Compared with big family resorts in Egypt, Turkey or Spain, the best family hotels Croatia are probably lagging behind. But family hotels Croatia have some of their own advantages.

It means you get to drive to your destination rather than fly. It is more convenient, and more often than not, cheaper for families than flying.
