The hotel itself is pretty nice. The rooms looks ok, and the bathrooms containes everything you need. Location is perfect, a couple of meters from the ocean in the harbour center.

BUT, we could hardly get any sleep the four nights we stayed there. Rock hard beds and it was to warm. When the temperature is 34-35 degrees, it's impossible to sleep without any air condition. We asked for a fan, and got it, but that did'nt help much.

The staff are very helpful, and the hotel offers a variety of activities for tourists who visits this island which only has 250 inhabitants. We went for kajaking, biking and swimming. The hotel also has wireless internett, but 40 kuna for one hour is pretty expensive, and you need to use the computer in the lobby. It does'nt work on the hotelrooms. We ate all our meals in the hotel, because they offered a cheap and various menu, and the food was good.

If you want a quiet, peacefully holiday on the beautiful coastline of Croatia, Sipan is worth a visit. And by the way, Sipanska Luka is a much more inviting place the Sudurad - on the others side of the island.

Stayed at the Hotel Sipan for a wedding in June. The view from our window was probably one of the best views I've ever had from a hotel- straight out onto the bay. Sipanska Luka is tiny and very very sleepy. There is a small beach round the other side of the bay from the hotel but otherwise you swim straight off the side of the jetty into warm, still, unbelievably clear water.
The hotel could make a bit more effort with its outside space- the terrace is nice, but the few deckchairs that there are are basically in the (admittedly quiet) road. There were rumour of a pool, in fact it might even be pictured on the website, but at the time of travelling there was no pool. Air-con was also an issue- despite having air con units in the rooms, they didn't actually work! It was quite hot, which meant we had to have the windows open all the time which could be a bit noisy as the hotel terrace was underneath. To be fair though, that noise was probably due to the wedding as I imagine normally it's very quiet indeed.
There are a couple of very good seafood restaurants in Sipanska Luka- one is quite famous, but the other, in the main square (Taurus?) is equally good.

We had a great 3 nights at the Hotel Sipan. We booked direct with the hotel after a recommendation from friends. We completely wound down, but not the place to go for any kind of nightlife/shopping sights! It is set at the heart of the harbour, which is a quiet but lovely place. Our room (and the front of the hotel) had fabulous views out to the harbour & the islands beyond. We spent a lot of time just lazing on the loungers in front of the hotel, watching the world go by & going for an occasional dip in the harbour. Don't come to Croatia for beaches - they don't really exist, however the water is beautifully clear.

The hotel is stylish, but not really a 4 star. Rooms are not huge but fine, beds were comfortable. Slightly oddly, despite having airconditioning clearly installed, we were told by reception that 'we do not have airconditioning in the hotel' - the panel flashed annoyingly so we had to cover it up to sleep.

To get there you need to get the ferry from Dubrovnik, then the local bus which meets the ferry - a lovely journey, don't be put off.

If you're going to Sipan, take enough cash - the only cashpoint was out for the whole of our stay, which severely restricted our dining options - the hotel is the only place that takes credit cards. The hotel restaurant caters for half board guests - the appetizer buffet was fine so we filled up on that, however the main courses were almost comically bad - I'm not a fussy eater but they were practically inedible. At least it was cheap! The other restaurants around the harbour are far better, there are 4 options to choose from if you have cash!

The Hotel Sipan does not have A/C or elevators, they do have beach towels available for use, however they will not tell you any of this. I can live without either, it would have been nice to know in advance. It was hard to get much information out of the staff, we are easy going people but it was a little frustrating. Breakfast was so so, we did not eat lunch or dinner at the hotel. We were not fans of sit in the same seat at all meals theory. The other restaurantson the island were fantastic, great seafood, wine and service.
The island is beautiful beyond words, it is a wonderful place to get away from it all.
