My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the moment we arrived we were greeted very warming by a young guy at reception, who took care of all of our needs during our stay. We were informed about everything from the moment we checked in, including the fish/seafood "fisherman's buffet" serving that night, which was highly recommended and we are very glad we booked for the occasion. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Our balcony was huge and we spent most afternoons watching the sun set over a glass of wine. The swimming area has ample beach chairs and the towel service is so easy to use. This hotel is located in Lapad, but it is easy to get into Dubrovnik old town by bus. The bus stop is directly outside of the hotel, and is the last stop of the service so you can never miss your stop. I believe that ran every 10/15mins, and takes approx 20mins into the old town (again the last stop). You can purchase tickets from reception, which is the most economical way. This bus can get quite full, and the driver tends to not leave people behind! The other bus service that leaves from this hotel takes to you Gruz, about 10/15mins, so even though this hotels ocation is a little further out, it is well serviced by the local bus. I wouldn't recommend dining at this hotel, the food was ok but not the greatest. Breakfast, however, is great! Large variety to suit all needs, and omelettes made fresh to order. Tables were always clean, service was efficient.
We both really enjoyed our stay here and would have been happy to stay longer. Only advice, keep all documentation regarding the package that you purchase. We had a minor hiccup with the transfer service, however this was promptly rectified by the young man at reception, he seemed to be the best person to speak to about any concerns. We booked the romantic package and we were very happy with that.
Room Tip: Hotel offers good packages so definitely book via their website rather than an online booking agency...
