This is a 4 star hotel. We did not stay here but were just a few steps away in the Argosy - part of the Babin Kuk Hotel Complex, populary used by tour operators. Spacious lobby and had nice bar area (expensive prices compared to the Argosy I noticed) and wonderful views overlooking the bay and across to the islands. The advantage over the Argosy is its beach/lido position with sunbeds facilities right on the front. The pool here is indoors - no outdor one but I suppose in summer months that is not a problem with the beach side facilities. The president also has its own boat landing stage - boas depart from here for the Elapahati Island Cruise.
We did not stay at this hotel but visited it several times as it must have belonged to the same group of hotels we were staying in. Our hotel had notices about entertainment evenings at the President. It is an upmarket hotel with a considerable number of rooms, it has been built into the side of the hill and I would think every room would get a magnificent ocean view. The pool area was nice, however I believe the Argosy beach was by far the best beach in the district.
Although the literature on the President describes its "beach" as private, it certainly wasn't when we stayed there. Each day at about 4.00pm and all day Saturday and Sunday the locals would inundate the area, at one point we couldn't move off our sunbeds without clambering over them. When we reported this to the duty manager we were told it is against the law in croatia to have private beaches. OUR TIP IS:- get down to the beach early and leave before the hoards arrive during the week and at the weekend go off touring for the day.
The heated indoor pool was nowhere near as warm as the sea! Beautiful sunsets from the sea view balconies
