Building feels modern, nice finishes and attention to detail, but not too stuffy – has a relaxed feel. Staff is very welcoming and helpful and seemed to work well with each other which added to the relaxed vibe.
Nicely situated against hills and looking out to the sea with cliffside and small islands on the horizon. A really beautiful view from what seemed like any room, and definitely from the outdoor dining deck.
Mlini has a slower, somewhat secluded feel, about a half-hour boat ride from Old Town. Easy walking in either direction along the sea and under pine trees. We explored some ruins at the bottom of a trail in one direction and the town with a small mall in the other direction, which had the most well-organized, orderly shelves I've ever seen in a store, and what looked like a lot of nice produce, cheeses and meat selection. Past that area is a nice trail along the water to the ruins of some hotels/buildings that were bombed in the conflict in the 90s. Many stands for boat rides and excursions, rentals for water activities, small outdoor shops, some restaurants, ATMs, and other hotels. We were told it was part of the busy season when we stayed in July but this area never felt overly bustling to me. It was lively but leisurely and not difficult to find spots on the different beaches. The hotel itself was quiet, and any activity sounded muted enough at night that we could leave the door open to enjoy the sound of the water. Looked forward to breakfast everyday.
