The hotel rooms were very comfortable with good size and similar views. They faced the ocean directly, ensuring a peaceful night's rest, despite occasional noise at night and early morning. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance to the old town and offering exceptional breakfast. However, the dining experience could be more varied, as the menu became repetitive after several days.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a gorgeous terrace overlooking the Old Town, even though we had only a partial view. The service was exceptional, from the friendly waiters to the attentive front desk staff. The location was fabulous, just a short walk to the old town, making it perfect for a 4-day getaway. The dining experience was superb, especially with the excellent breakfast spread offering everything from fresh omelets to crispy bacon with a spectacular view of the Old Town. One downside was the limited variety of dishes compared to other 5-star hotels, and the glazed cakes were not up to par. Overall, a great value for money experience with top-notch amenities and modern facilities.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the room we had last year was dark and lacked a sea view, it offered a glimpse of the neighboring island, the open sea, and the old town of Dubrovnik from the glazed balconies. Service was accommodating but not overly welcoming, and the location was convenient for both city access and private beach relaxation. Dining was delightful with a fantastic view, but there were some limitations to the service. Overall, a decent stay with some notable drawbacks.
