“bleak place with impersonal atmosphere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

person found this review helpful

The good things about this hotel are that it's very close to Croatia Divers, which has great diving, and that the rooms have a nice view and are rather modern.

I wouldn't go there again though, and I can't recommend anyone else to do so either, because:
- The bar plays boring loud club music every night which makes sleeping hard and doesn't fit in this sweet village.
- At several occasions there was a smell of tobacco smoke in our room.
- The room wasn't totally clean.
- The breakfast was awful compared to the wonderful food we generally had in Croatia. Parts of it were alright, but most of it seemed to be made of low quality ingredients. Also sad to learn that we had to eat in the big canteen instead of out on the big terrace which was full of tables and had a great view. Just no effort from the hotel to make it a nice meal.
- The beach was very small and full of people. Ok with us since we weren't there for the beach, but if that's what you then want don't go there.

The experience was ok over all but not worth the money. I would recommend people to book private accommodation.

Room Tip: Book rooms with sea view!

“The rooms may have been remodeled but service and amenities are non existent”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

Rooms really good and very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the place had no heart. The reception staff unfriendly and unhelpful. This is not a cheap hotel so would expect some services...it has none, no room service, no laundry, no free wireless for laptops. This place is out of the way and beach access
Is into a busy less than pristine harbour. They would have been better spending $$ on culture, service than rooms...really disappointing.

“Good rooms, terrible food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for 4 nights whilst diving with Croatia Divers (just next door), well located if you are diving, badly located if you want to visit Vela Luka as it is across the bay (water taxi or 20 min walk). The hotel is very clean and the beds and bedding very comfortable. The view from the room was lovely, although there is a bar at the bottom of the hotel that plays music into the early hours (can be heard through the closed door). The shower was powerful, but hand held as there was no higher wall attachment, so not great.
The staff were mostly friendly but their English wasn't great.
All this however pales into insignificance when compared to the food. Honestly some of the worst that I have ever eaten/looked at. Big silver trays of mass produced slop. Breakfast was bearable, the other meals were truly awful. We tried each meal once, then ate out across the bay.
In summary, good hotel, just don't eat there!

“Comfortable good quality hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2010

Lovely hotel; rooms nicely renovated - hotel photos are spot on for what you get. Free internet access, air con, fantastic water pressure in the showers! and a great view out over the bay to wake up to in the morning.

Service was excellent, staff were very helpful and very pleasant to deal with. We arrived after midnight and they had a very nice cold buffet waiting for us. During our stay, my daughter needed a dentist and they rang and arranged an appointment for her there and then.

We were diving with Croatia Divers (see separate review) and as this hotel is right next door it was perfect for what we wanted.

We took the full board option which gave us lunch as well as local wines/beers and soft drinks. Normally I don't do the fully catered thing on holiday but as we were taking a PADI course at the dive centre, the 12 hour days meant we had little time or energy to worry about going out for meals. So from that point of view it worked very well for us.

Food was pretty much what I expected, no major surprises really; the different types of bread were lovely, salads were good, coffee in the dining room was awful! But you can get really nice coffee in the bar, so that was ok!

The clientele seems to be either younger familes or older couples. The hotel has direct access to the pebble beach and it's very popular with locals also There's also a very handy water taxi for only 4 Kuna which runs every 30 mins if you don't fancy the walk around the bay.

“Renovated! Enough of the bad rap...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2010

HI,
I have been going diving in Korcula every summer for 3 years now. The hotel was under renovation for a long time and last August I decided to try it out and stayed there for 5 nights instead of my usual private accommodation.

The rooms are nice (especially if you have one with a great view over the town harbor), the AC is good and the service was good as well. Nothing like in the old days :)

There is no pool, but the hotel is on the beach with 15m to water from the terrace.

I had half board and both the breakfast and buffet dinner were good with plenty of choices. Order your coffee from the bar, though :) Plus: They had ice cream every night :)
