Makarska: The Town
Makarska lies southeast of Split and northwest of Dubrovnik, about an hours drive from Split. Located on a bay that resembles a horseshoe, it is situated between the Biokovo mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Makarska, like so many other coastal towns along the Adriatic is well-known for its palm-fringed public walk. The town abounds in restaurantss cafes, bars and shops that look over the  charming wharf where ships and boat of all shapes and sizes glide smoothly over the blue waters. Along the beach, there are many hotels and the usual, unmissable camping site.
Makarska Accommodation: The Old Town and the port of Makarska
The old town with narrow stone-paved alleys forms the centre of Makarska. By the church, lies the main square that hosts the morning and evening fruit market. There is also an ancient Franciscan monastery that displays a sea shell collection including a gigantic clam shell.
Work out your finances for accommodation.  Leave ample for eating out and free time but have a concrete plan how much you are willing to spend on accommodation.
Sometimes what seems more costly may work out cheaper. You may be better off with a package tour in a hotel than maybe with renting a large apartment unless it is close to the beach. Hiring 3-4 scooters for a week, never mind hiring two cabs to take you to the beach twice a day might be quite a sum.
