Escape to Paradise: Murter Apartment Review - Bubble Bath Bliss (and Mild Mayhem!) ✨
Okay, people, buckle up. I'm back from my little slice of Croatian heaven, the glorious "Escape to Paradise: Luxurious Murter Apartment with Bubble Bath!" And let me tell you, it was… an experience. Prepare for a review that's less "objective travel guide" and more "highly caffeinated rant with a sprinkle of sunshine."

- Category: Travel, Accommodation Review, Croatia, Murter
Let's Dive In (Literally, Into That Pool!)
First things first: Accessibility. Bless them, they tried. There’s an elevator, so that's a HUGE win. Listed among the Facilities for disabled guests is a big plus and means a lot to those who need it – it’s important! HOWEVER…the devil is in the details, right? I'd want to check those actual accessibility features before committing, if that sounds right? (Call ahead, folks, always call ahead.)
The Good Stuff: Relaxation, Relaxation, Relaxation!
Oh. My. God. The Bubble Bath. Let's just bask in that moment. It was… epic. Like, "I'm a mermaid, hear me roar" kind of epic. With it being in the apartment, you can enjoy it at any time. The water was hot, the bubbles were copious, and I legit spent an hour and a half reading trashy magazines and pretending I was royalty. Total, utter bliss.
Now, beyond the liquid perfection:
- Spa/Sauna: Didn't get to the full spa treatment, but I did briefly visit the Sauna area. Nice, clean, and definitely worth the splurge if you're into that whole "sweating out your sins" thing. I am.
- Swimming Pool: The Pool with view was stunning – infinity edge overlooking… well, paradise! I spent a disgraceful amount of time lounging poolside, sipping (aforementioned) cocktails. It absolutely is the chill zone.
- Fitness Center: I intended to use the Gym/fitness center. Keyword: intended. I did, in fact, walk in and look at some equipment… and then immediately walked out. The bubble bath called to me. Don't judge!
- Massage, Body Scrub, Body Wrap: This is where I truly regret missing out. I heard whispers of incredible massages, and I bet I'd be coming back a whole new person.
- Steamroom: I also heard about the steamroom! And once again, I didn't get to it. I’m beginning to realize that prioritizing relaxation needs a serious re-evaluation on my part.
Amenities & The Practicalities: A Mixed Bag
Okay, let’s be honest. I’m kind of a sucker for the little things.
- Internet Access, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: Praise be! The Wi-Fi was strong and consistent. Internet [LAN]? Didn't touch it. I'm a wireless kinda gal.
- Cleanliness and safety. Everything was super clean. Anti-viral cleaning products? They even had hand sanitizer dispensers everywhere. I felt safe.
- Dining & Drinking… and Snacking. There's a well-stocked Mini bar. The Poolside bar was a lifesaver, and the drinks were strong (and affordable!). Didn't get to enjoy the Vegetarian restaurant or the Asian cuisine in restaurant. Not something I looked for.
- Room service [24-hour]: Essential for a lazy human like me. The pizza was…adequate, but the breakfast? AMAZING.
- Daily housekeeping: My room was always spotless (even after ahem that bubble bath situation).
- Air conditioning: Thank GOD. Croatia in July is not a joke.
- Additional toilet. Always a good thing.
- Alarm clock: Did not touch it.
The Imperfections (Because Life Isn't Perfect, Thankfully!)
Okay, here comes the real talk.
- Noise: The walls are a bit thin, and I could sometimes hear people chatting in the hallway. This wasn't majorly annoying, but something to be aware of if you are SUPER noise sensitive.
- The "View" From My Room: My room faced…well, not the best view. Overlooked a quiet section of the complex (but it wasn’t hideous, or awful) so I didn’t ask to change. But next time? I'm demanding a sea view!
- My Own Disorganization: Okay, this wasn’t the apartment's fault. But let's just say I may have misplaced a key card at one point. Found it eventually.
- Pets allowed unavailable: This is a shame for the animal lovers! The apartment is listed as NOT being able to accommodate pets.
Dining, Services, & the Fine Print
- Restaurants, A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: Quite a variety! I appreciated the choices.
- Air conditioning in public area: Essential!
- Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Ironing service: Convenient, but I didn't use them. Too busy relaxing!
- Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange: Convenient for a non-local!
For the Kids:
- Family/child friendly, Babysitting service, Kids meal, Kids facilities: They seem pretty geared up for the little ones.
- Access, CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property: Security features, no complaints.
Overall Impression: Worth It? (Spoiler Alert: YES!)
Despite my minor quibbles, this place is a winner. The Bubble bath alone is worth the price of admission. The staff were friendly and helpful, the location is beautiful, and the overall vibe is relaxed.
Would I recommend "Escape to Paradise: Luxurious Murter Apartment with Bubble Bath?"
Absolutely. Just go. Take the plunge, get that bubble bath ready, and embrace the glorious mess of relaxation. And if you see me there next year, tell me to drag myself to the gym. The Steamroom too!

Alright, buckle up buttercups! This ain't your perfectly-curated Instagram travelogue. This is the real, messy, sunscreen-smeared truth of my Murter adventure, centering around that damned bubble bath promise.
Murter Mayhem: A Croatian Odyssey (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Adriatic)
Day 1: Arrival and the Case of the Missing Beach Towel (and My Sanity)
- 7:00 AM (give or take): Wake Up, that glorious moment of potential, even when I'd be traveling. Drag my grumpy bones out of bed. Coffee is a MUST. Did I pack enough? Probably not. I always need more socks. Always.
- 8:00 AM: Airport shuffle. Arriving at the airport, my luggage is heavier than it needs to be. I, of course, brought a book on Croatian history. I have no idea why. I'll probably read half of it.
- 11:00 AM: Flight. The miracle of the flying machine. I read half the book and watched a trashy rom-com. I hate rom-coms, but here we are.
- 1:00 PM: Landed in Zadar! Sunshine! Smells of… well, everything. Time to find my rental car. Cue the chaos. I have a terrible sense of direction, an even worse sense of parking, and let's just say the Croatian drivers were not the most patient.
- 3:00 PM: The drive to Murter. Holy. Crap. Scenery overload. Turquoise water, tiny islands… I almost drove off the road gawking. Stopping at a roadside stand for some cherries. The vendor gave me a strange look when I tried to barter with a half-eaten croissant.
- 4:00 PM: Finally, the apartment! "Charming," the listing said. More like "compact." The bubble bath was mentioned, of course. The first thing I did was frantically search for that promised haven. The bathroom? Small. The tub? Present. Bubbles? Cracks knuckles We'll get there.
- 4:30 PM: Unpack. Where's my beach towel? Frantically search the luggage, rip it apart. Nope. Must have left it on the bed. Cue internal meltdown I'm already a sunburned, rumpled, and slightly unhinged person.
- 5:00 PM: Found a small shop. Bought a questionable-looking knock-off towel. At this point, I'm just glad it doesn't have a picture of a cartoon bear on it.
- 6:00 PM: Walk around the town (Murter). I did not go to the town of Murter, I ran across a beach, I did not go to a restaurant. I went to a store and bought a pizza. I ate the pizza.
- 7:00 PM: Evening: Dinner. Ordered something I thought was a simple fish dish. Turns out it was an entire, bony sea creature staring up at me. After a brief internal panic attack, I ate it. It was surprisingly delicious. The local wine? Even better.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Time for the moment I've been waiting for: THE BUBBLE BATH! Frantically searches for bubbles, only to find a tiny bottle of suspiciously scented liquid. Damn. This ain't gonna be a foam party. But, okay, I'm here. It's fine. I can make this work.
- 9:00 PM: Slippery, slightly under-bubbled bath time. The water is delightfully hot. I am now a prune. It was heavenly. As I soak, all the chaotic driving and the missing towel fade away. In their place? Serenity. Or, you know, until the water gets cold.
Day 2: Island Hopping (and Navigating My Own Sense of Direction)
- 8:00 AM: Wake up and feel mildly hungover. Coffee is now essential.
- 9:00 AM: Decide to explore the islands of the Kornati National Park. Sounds fabulous, right? Well, getting there is a bit of a saga. First, I had to find a boat tour that didn't cost the equivalent of a small car. Turns out, you get what you pay for.
- 10:00 AM: Arrived at the small port. I barely understood the directions, but I was on the water!
- 10:30 AM: Finally on the boat (yes, the one that didn't cost a small fortune), and the islands are truly breathtaking. The water? Crystal clear. The sun? Fiery. The other tourists? A little annoying, but hey, can't have everything.
- 12:00 PM: Anchored at a cove for swimming. Jumped in. It was amazing. Almost died.
- 2:00 PM: Lunch on the boat. The food? Basic. The view? Priceless. My sunburn? Intensifying.
- 3:00 PM: More island exploration, dodging other boats and trying not to look completely clueless at the helm of the world. Managed to not crash into any rocks!
- 5:00 PM: Back to Murter, slightly seasick and with a serious tan line situation.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Decided to go full-on tourist trap and order pizza.
- 7:00 PM: Walk around the town, looking for trinkets. I do not have a knack for shopping.
- 8:00 PM: You guessed it… Another attempt at the bubble bath. This time, I use all of the bubble solution. Success? Mild. But it's the thought that counts, right?
Day 3: Beaches, Bites, and Beautiful Bitterness
- 9:00 AM: Beach day! Found one that was sandy and not too crowded. Bliss. I actually relaxed. Wow. I'm growing up.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch at a beachside taverna. Fresh seafood. The best meal of the trip so far.
- 2:00 PM: My hair is a mess. I am covered in sunscreen. I do not care. I am on vacation.
- 4:00 PM: I tried to write a postcard, couldn't even manage to write one.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Finally found a place that served something other than seafood. Yes.
- 7:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Sigh. Time for packing.
- 8:00 PM: Bubble bath. This time, I just used shampoo.
Day 4: Departure
- 7:00 AM: Wake up.
- 7:30 AM: Last-minute packing panic. Did I forget anything? Probably. Who cares?
- 8:00 AM: Coffee
- 9:00 AM: Leaving.
- 11:00 AM: Plane.
- 1:00 PM: Back home.
This is just the skeleton of what a trip to Croatia would be like. I'm sure there are a million things I would have wanted to do, but this is a start, and it is the truth, unfiltered. I would do it all again in an instant.
Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Boiensdorf Bungalow Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: Luxurious Murter Apartment with Bubble Bath! – Okay, So You REALLY Wanna Know?
Alright, spill the tea! Is this “Escape to Paradise” *actually* paradise? Because, let’s be honest, ads lie.
Okay, fair play. Trust me, I went in with the same cynicism. “Luxury Murter Apartment”? Paradise? My expectations were, shall we say, cautiously optimistic. And… well, it *almost* lived up to the hype. Emphasis on ALMOST. Let’s dive deep, shall we?
The apartment? Gorgeous. Seriously, the photos don't lie about *that*. It’s clean, modern, and that view? Oh. Em. Gee. You're basically staring at the Adriatic Sea. Paradise-esque, right? Except…
Anecdote Time: I arrived late at night, after a truly epic travel saga that involved a rental car that hated hills and a GPS that seemed to be actively trying to kill me. So, I was already frazzled. I finally got there, the keys were in a lockbox, and... the code didn't work. Panic? Yep. Eventually, I got a hold of the owner (bless her heart, it was late!), and turns out I was typing in the year instead of the code. Pro Tip: Read the instructions *thoroughly* before midnight adventuring. That wasn't paradise, folks, that was a solid dose of “OMG, I’m an idiot.”
So, paradise-adjacent. It’s more like, "Escape to Paradise-ish, if you’re not prone to GPS-induced meltdowns." But the view. The view makes up for a LOT.
Okay, but the bubble bath! That's the real selling point, right? Does it *live* up to the Instagram expectations? Spill the bubbles!
The bubble bath. Ah, yes. The siren song of relaxation, beckoning weary travelers with promises of foamy bliss. And, yes, it mostly delivers. Let's just say, I now have a *very* strong opinion on bubble bath formulations.
The tub itself? Massive. Roomy enough for two, *easily*. (Hypothetically. I was travelling solo, so I can't *personally* vouch for that aspect.) The jets? They work. They massage. They make you feel like you’re being gently kneaded by tiny, enthusiastic dolphins.
Bubble Bath Rambling Session: Here's where things get... opinionated. The apartment provides some cheap bubble bath, which, frankly, smells like a cross between dish soap and regret. My advice? Bring your own. Seriously. I went to a local pharmacy and bought a big bottle of lavender-scented bliss, and the whole experience transformed. Suddenly, I *was* transported. Suddenly, I could feel the stress of driving up those hills melting away. Suddenly, I understood why Cleopatra was such a boss. So, yeah, bubble bath? Absolutely. Just bring the good stuff. You deserve it.
And the view from the bath? Oh. My. God. (See, I told you I get emotional.) Sunrise over the Adriatic? Bubbles, lavender, and a view that makes you weep with happiness? Yeah, that’s… pretty close to paradise, actually. Worth every penny. Just… bring the good bubble bath. Seriously. Don't skimp.
What about the location? Is Murter actually… well, *cool*? Or just another pretty Croatian island?
Murter? Okay, let me be blunt. It's not Mykonos. It’s not Ibiza. It’s not exactly a party island (unless you consider a perfect sunset and a glass of local wine a party, in which case, consider me the life of the party).
But what **is** Murter? Charming. Authentic. Seriously laid-back. There are beautiful beaches (some a bit rocky, so bring water shoes!), cute little restaurants, and a general sense of peace that’s hard to find these days. It's the kind of place where you can wander around, get pleasantly lost, and stumble upon a hidden gem (like, for me, a tiny gelato shop that was pure heaven).
Quirky Observation Alert: One night, I was wandering around, and I swear, I saw a cat parade. Seriously. Like, ten cats, all marching down the street in a slightly coordinated fashion. Murter: It's weird. And I loved it. Just embrace the weirdness.
The apartment's location is perfect, honestly. Close enough to the town to walk, but far enough away that you have peace and quiet. And the sunsets? Don't even get me started. (They’re, again, spectacular.) So, cool? Maybe not, in the "trendy" sense. But delightful? Absolutely. Escape from the ordinary? Definitely.
Is it kid-friendly? Because, let’s face it, a luxury apartment is useless if a small human is constantly screaming for snacks.
Ah, the tiny tyrants. Okay, here’s the deal. This apartment… it *could* be kid-friendly, depending on your small human’s temperament and your personal tolerance for potential chaos.
The apartment itself? Well, it is spacious. The balcony is large. The view is phenomenal. But the big selling point *for me*, the bubble bath, that could be great fun for kids but only if you don't mind having to clean up later. And if you have a kid who needs something like a pool, this doesn't have that.
Emotional Reaction Alert: Honestly? I’d leave the kids at home. Purely selfishly speaking. This is the kind of place where you want to unwind, drink wine, and soak in a bubble bath without the constant threat of sticky fingers and demands for "more screen time!". Murter itself is fine for kids, the beaches etc. But this apartment… it's an escape for adults. Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary.
In short: Technically, yes. Ideally? Probably not. Unless you want to spend your "luxury" vacation refereeing a sibling squabble while desperately trying to get some peace. Just… think about it carefully. And bring earplugs. For yourself.
What about the kitchen? Can you, you know, actually *cook* there? Because sometimes, you just want a home-cooked meal.
The kitchen. A crucial element. No one wants to be stuck eating overpriced tourist food for a week, especially if you’re trying to relax.
The kitchen is well-equipped! It has all the basics. A stovetop, oven, fridge, microwave, and all the usual utensils. There is also nice tableware and glasses. I'm pretty sure there was a coffee machine… though I, in my bubble-bath-induced haze, never managed to figure out how to work it properly. (Note: I am a complete idiot when it comes to coffee machines.)
