Our take
Hotel Niko sits on the Solaris peninsula outside Šibenik, inside the Amadria Park resort, with its two outdoor pools set among pines a few steps from the sea. Guests get discounted umbrellas and loungers on White Beach, and the same resort holds Aquapark Dalmatia, whose heated indoor section changes a rainy day for children. I would book a sea-view room, since the others face the park or the courtyard. The trade-off is distance: Šibenik's old town and the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St James are roughly five kilometres away, a drive or taxi rather than an evening stroll.
- ✓Ask for a sea-view room when booking: the others look over the park or courtyard, and recent guests often describe the rooms as dated, so the view carries more weight.
- ✓Travelling with a dog? Only select rooms accept dogs, and only up to 10 kg, so request one at booking rather than at the front desk.
- ✓Keep Aquapark Dalmatia for a grey day: it sits in the same resort, has 9,100 square metres of heated indoor space open all year, and entry is charged separately.
- ✓Split airport is 55 km away and Zadar 79 km; the resort gives about 52 minutes by car for both, so choose whichever flight suits you.

Why guests love itFamilies are the travellers Niko suits best. The two outdoor pools are a few steps from the sea, White Beach is right below with discounted loungers for hotel guests, and Aquapark Dalmatia, the resort's water park with a year-round heated indoor zone, is inside the same complex for an extra charge. Family rooms with balconies are available, and the terrace restaurant serves a buffet from breakfast to dinner. The weaknesses are real: several recent guests call the rooms dated and due for renovation, and this is a three-star, not a resort flagship. Šibenik's old town, about five kilometres away, needs a car or a taxi. I would choose it for a beach week with children, not for a city break.
