In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Medena is a large resort complex in Seget Donji, right on the water about 4km from Trogir Old Town. Most rooms look out toward the sea to some degree, and the Sea View units come with a balcony facing the Adriatic. The decor is simple, standard 3-star stuff rather than anything designed — but it is all functional and does the job for a beach stay.
Food and amenities
This is where Medena earns its family reputation. There is a private beach by the hotel, a big outdoor pool, a kids' pool and a playground, plus high-season animation activities for children. Kayaks and SUP boards are available to rent, and there are watersports off the shore. The buffet restaurant serves international and Dalmatian food, and the beach bar runs all day. Half Board is the smart option for families who would rather not head out for every meal.
Location and getting there
The Old Town sits about 4km away. A public bus passes right in front of the hotel for a few kuna, or you can take a water taxi from the Medena pier straight into the Old Town in about 10 minutes — a convenient and genuinely scenic way in. Split Airport (SPU) is only around 8–10km away, a 15-minute drive, which is an advantage every Trogir hotel shares.
Things to know before booking
You are 4km out, so getting into the Old Town means the bus or a water taxi rather than a short walk — fine if you have planned for it, less so if you wanted to stroll into town at night. The complex is large and the design is dated, an older-era resort rather than a boutique. And service can run slow at busy points in high season, so build in a little patience at peak times.
Our take
Medena scores 8.0/10, and it is the clearest budget family pick on this list. From about $63 a night you get a private beach, a big pool and easy transit into town — long-stay guests who have come back over the years say it is great value precisely because you are not paying to sleep inside the Old Town. If you want a base by the sea and are happy to day-trip into Trogir, this is the one.
