Loved everything about this hotel. Quiet location but only a 15 min bus ride into the busy Old Town. Great breakfast was included, on a terrace overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Fabulous.
Great stay in a stunning location. Only negative it’s very pricey

Fantastic location with stunning sea views.
Service excellent and only 15 minute drive into the old Town.
Definitely recommend 👌
What a lovely resort, very clean, friendly staff, excellent food, modern, great facilities, beds very comfortable. View was fantastic, worth having a sea view with balcony. Will definitely return to Dubrovnik and stay at the resort.
A lovely hotel with very friendly staff who were very attentive. The beach area was lovely to get a decent breeze where as the higher pools were hotter. Easy to get taxi’s into town, or walking via the promenade into Lapad was great. An excellent range of restaurants at the hotel and locally. Would go again
Great hotel in lovely peaceful location, a 10 minute bus/taxi ride from Dubrovnik old town. Really very good facilities including a number of pools, easy access to a cordoned off area for sea swimming ( and jumping!). The Croatian coast is very picturesque with crystal clear water.
