“We loved everything, especially the staff who were warm and kind from the start. The hotel has the closest 'private' beach in town, with towels, beds, and umbrellas all well organised. Breakfast had everything you needed – yogurt, fruit, eggs – though fresh orange juice cost extra. Our superior double room had a wonderful terrace with amazing sunset views. The bus stop to town was nearby and always on time. Dubrovnik is a fantastic holiday destination and the staff made our stay very pleasant.”

8.7Verified guest

“An unbelievable hotel with a variety of tidy rooms to relax in. The location is stunning and lovely, a short walk to a separate restaurant for V-level guests with a great buffet, à la carte dishes, and even prosecco and oysters. The hillside leads to Lapad town with shops and bars, and you're feet from Coral Beach Club and other attractions.”

“Had an absolute blast with friends here. We enjoyed the pool, beach volleyball courts, and biking around. The staff were friendly and breakfast was great. Don't miss the sunset views from the balcony – a quick bus ride gets you to the Old Town.”

8.7Verified guest

“Overall a fantastic stay for another four nights. Breakfast was satisfactory and plentiful with breathtaking views, and the staff were approachable. I was upgraded to a premium queen room. The location in a lovely area was brilliant, with shops nearby and a great restaurant about a 10–15 minute walk away.”
