My partner and I herd lots of good applause for Croatia and thought let's see what the fuss is about.

We took 11 days starting in Split then Huvar with a night on Korutula ending in Dubrovnik for 5 days.

We had a great time everywhere, the people and places a joy.

GVA was unfortunately a let down, it is certainly not 5 star! The rooms air-conditioning terrible, the room outdated and staff, bar the bell boys, unhelpful. The service is slow and unfriendly.

If you want a great pool with a great view then this is the place for you, I would recommend finding a deal though, as at the price we paid it was not what we are accustomed to nor what we experienced throughout the rest of our trip.

In general. Not 5 star but 3. Poor service. Poor Rooms. Great pool.

Dubrovnik itself Fantastic just stay elsewhere!

Found this place to be isolated and relaxing......We all went for a Spa and swimming in the evening which refershed us.....after a tiring day in office a place like this will refresh your mind and body as well....rooms were prtty comfortable and cozy......enjoyed our stay....

We spent 7 nights at this marvellous hotel in early July. the weather was exceptionally humid so the air conditioning (throughout the hotel and very effective) was essential to a comfortable stay.
All of the staff were courteous and helpful and when we discovered that the remote on the television was faulty a man was on the doorstep in less than five minutes, batteries in hand, to fix it quietly and efficiently.
The area by the sea was a great place to sunbathe and take an occasional dip whiolsy watching the boats go by across the bay.
The only downside was the ciost of eating in the restaurant - however we soon discovered several excellent alternatives for dinner in the old town of Dubrovnik.
In summary , a great hotel offering excellent service and facilities!

My Fiance and I stayed at the Villa Argentina for 1 week at the beginining of June. The hotel itself is beautiful... it is especially great for those that love sunbathing and swimming. The hotel has two pools, an outdoor and indoor pool, both of which are great. A holiday to me is all about the pool and I have to say the Villa Argentina has the best outdoor pool and sunbathing area we have ever visted - it is amazing. You can swim in the pool or the sea which is crystal clear. However, be aware that the swimming conditions in the Adratic, it changed each day we were there so one day it would be perfect for an intermediate swimmer and the next you would need to be an advanced swimmer to handle to conditions. We found that the hotel itself is more 4 star than 5, and thats based mainly on the quality of service received from staff. The front desk is ok but not what you would expect form a 5 star hotel. Some tips are bring a travel iron.. the hotel does not have an iron service available in the room and so you have to pay (circa €7 for each item) to have your clothes ironed. Also get a room with a sea view. The hotel has the most amazing view ( I think best in the city) so pay a little extra and get a sea view. We made the mistake of getting a regular room, without sea view and it was very cramped for the week. Dubrovnik itself is very casual so leave you smart clothes at home and bring comfortable shoes and a cardy.. also I'm a wine lover but found the half carafe (or lite carafes) of wine for a meal to be great and much cheaper.
