Our take
Hotel Central Beach 9 stands on Makarska's seaside promenade, a few steps from the beach, with air-conditioned rooms and apartments that add an equipped kitchen and a seating area. St. Peter Lighthouse and Kačić Square are close by, so sightseeing happens on foot. A 9.2 score from 840 reviews is reassuring. I would choose an apartment here for a family wanting the beach and its own kitchen, accepting the busy promenade outside.
- ✓Book an apartment unit over a standard room if your stay runs more than a few nights, the kitchen genuinely helps.
- ✓Arrange the paid airport shuttle ahead if you're flying into Split, it saves negotiating transport on arrival.
- ✓Walk to Kačić Square and St. Peter Lighthouse in the same outing, they sit close enough together to combine easily.

Why guests love itHaving a real kitchen in the apartment made the longer stretch of our stay far easier, especially with the beach genuinely a few steps away rather than a marketing exaggeration. The walk to Kačić Square and St. Peter Lighthouse became a regular evening loop, and the airport shuttle from Split saved us the hassle of arranging our own transfer on arrival.
