We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of August 2011. We chose the most suitable option from the proposed "hot" tours (literally 3-4 days before departure). They wanted a visa-free country and the sea. They have already been in Croatia, but in another region - Istria. And, to be honest, rest in Dubrovnik loses in many respects.

We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of August 2011. We chose the most suitable option from the proposed "hot" tours (literally 3-4 days before departure). They wanted a visa-free country and the sea. They have already been in Croatia, but in another region - Istria. And, to be honest, rest in Dubrovnik loses in many respects.
First, there are endless crowds. Wherever you go - everywhere the people are dark. It is not clear why the hotel does not confirm the cleanliness of the beach (UNESCO blue flag) every year: in the morning (I went out specially before breakfast to swim before the crowds of tourists) I saw several bottles of wine left by young people the night before and cigarette butts. Not to mention the purity of the water: in the evening, apple cores, mowed grass, plastic scraps and bags, labels, and other rubbish float in the water. Yes, and every evening locals came to the beach to relax, mostly teenagers and children. The whole beach was littered with umbrellas and sunbeds with tourists, and under the sunbeds or near them, locals sunbathed on pebbles and slabs. No privacy. In Dubrovnik, it was also hard to breathe - people are everywhere.
Secondly, the kitchen was unpleasantly surprised. Probably only the lazy did not write about monotony, these are all trifles, in the end, for a change, you can eat in restaurants. But over-salted and overcooked fish and seafood, bitter marinated tuna and salmon, unripe wooden peaches - this is something... The result of our vacation (were resting with my mother) was poisoning - thank God that on the last day. But it didn’t seem enough, I don’t remember how I flew, I know that the flight attendants on the plane helped a lot. And for 3 more days at home I was on a strict diet. Mom was a little better, but she also got poisoned.
Thirdly, we were unpleasantly surprised by classical music: just before our departure, the restaurant arranged a special evening with music and the distribution of a cake (by the way, this cake may also have been the cause of poisoning, since the filling was raw egg whites whipped with powdered sugar). So, a string quartet was playing, and one of the violinists was shamelessly lying, it was difficult to listen to this cat concerto, but it was impossible to eat to it.
Fourthly, the bath in the room is designed in such a way that it is impossible for a person who has problems with the musculoskeletal system to get into it. Mom, who broke her leg two years ago, has never (! ) been able to take a bath in the whole vacation. And I, climbing over the side, hit my foot on the edge of the tub.
Among the advantages of the hotel are only the location by the sea, green terraces and large rooms. Dubrovnik, in addition to its border location (Albania, Montenegro, etc. is within easy reach) and its cultural program, also has few advantages. In my subjective opinion, these pluses are not worth it to come back here. Next time we will go either to a new region (Middle Dalmatia) or to the Istrian peninsula.

Hello! Before leaving, I got acquainted with the opinions of those who had a rest in the hotel. A variety of experiences. But everything changed upon arrival. Reception at the reception and accommodation in the rooms on arrival, but it was far from check-in (8.00 local time) was a pleasant surprise. The room had a good rest, the staff is above all praise.

I recommend that all arrivals learn (in advance))) a few phrases in Croatian - and you will not need knowledge of other languages, they will accept you as a native. Two weeks flew by like a dream, it's a pity that we have to part... But, indeed, all good things remain in my memory for a long time and I really want to return!

When we rested in this hotel, it was still 5 stars. I have to say, I really liked the rest, I would like to return there again. The hotel is not new, but leaves a good impression. All rooms with sea view. No problems with housekeeping. Room with a spacious balcony. Pebble beach, entry into the sea is not very rocky.

All rooms with sea view. No problems with housekeeping. Room with a spacious balcony. Pebble beach, entry into the sea is not very rocky. I advise you to take a special shoes. Although we didn’t have such shoes, we carefully entered, and there we swam)) The hotel has an indoor pool, but the area with sun loungers by the pool is not covered, it offers a beautiful view of the Adriatic Sea). The hotel also has a Finnish sauna, a Turkish sauna and a Jacuzzi free of charge. The food is excellent, in the travel agency we took only breakfasts, but upon arrival you can also pay for dinners, or you can eat in the city. At the time when we were resting there, the European Football Championship was taking place, and the Croats are ardent fans. So we watched football with them in the evenings in a pizzeria, eating pizza and drinking Croatian beer. The old town of Dubrovnik is very close, 10 minutes by bus. The bus stop is right next to the hotel which is very convenient. Bus tickets can be bought at Respeshina or from the bus driver. Also at the reception you can change the currency. The architecture of the old city is very beautiful. We took the tour and didn't regret it. We also went to Cavtat on our own, this is also a resort town 19 km from Dubrovnik. There by bus and back by boat. In general, the rest was remembered only on the positive side. A week was not enough, I wanted to stay more)

Although the hotel is 4 *, but everything corresponds to 5 *. In addition, Dubrovnik is Dubrovnik, as if you are relaxing in a fairy tale, especially if you are in the Old Town. And the President itself is located on the cape of Babino Kut, all rooms overlook the sea - it's beautiful.
