I decided to write a review about the hotel, because. I myself was looking for a tour with good accommodation for a very long time, but I found only one review about VALAMAR LAKROMA RESORT. We chose this hotel so to speak intuitively and did not regret it for a single day!! ! The video and photos from the official website of the hotel could not convey all the beauty and harmony (indeed, the human eye perceives better than any technology). The hotel is located on the hill of the Babin Kuk peninsula, it is only 300 meters to walk to the beach along the olive grove, equipped with new paths. The beach located on the territory of the hotel President, down to the beach by elevator. You need to take a towel card with you, which will be given in our hotel. At the President Hotel, take the key to exit the beach. The beach is clean, not crowded, there are many Russians and residents of Ukraine. Therefore, if you are without a company, I think it will not be difficult to find it there. We rested in June, the sea was quite warm, the water is just crystal clear and very salty. I advise you to buy slippers at the shopping gallery for swimming, they protect against sea urchins, besides, it’s just nice to walk on the seabed in them. Sunbeds, umbrellas and towels on the beach are free. octopus, star and sea urchins. If you like a beach with small pebbles or are afraid of waves, then walk along the bar to Copacabana beach (ask for a map at the hotel reception).
The rooms in the hotel are just class! We had a balcony with a sea view. It's great to wake up, open your eyes, and outside the window - the sea. The room has air conditioning, an ironing board, an iron, an electric kettle. Live music played under our windows in the evenings: rock, instrumental, and national. For the first two days, she made it very difficult to sleep, but then she fell asleep so well that they bought CDs with national music and songs at home. Therefore, if you go to bed earlier than 22-23 hours local time (+2 hours from Moscow), when when buying a tour, ask that your room does not go out to the central gallery (just if the weather is bad, then live music evenings are arranged in the hotel, just again under the same numbers, and since the soundproofing from the side of the door is also not very good, the last two nights slept badly again). These are the only disadvantages of our holiday. We rested with friends, their room was not on the central gallery, it's quiet there.
Restaurant. The kitchen in the hotel is beyond praise, as a result, recovered by 3 kg. I just wanted to try everything. For breakfast, we took freshly squeezed pineapple juice, pieces of pineapple, watermelon, melon, kiwi, etc. Croissants are so tender and tasty that when you return home you don’t want to buy them here. Italian cuisine, a vegetarian table, dairy products, a lot sea ​ ​ fish, various cuts, pastries, etc. , I think everyone will find what he likes best. All hot dishes are prepared in your presence. We started dinner with meat broth, which, you see, is very good for digestion.

SPA. You need to book a massage in advance, we didn’t know, unfortunately we didn’t get it. But every day we visited saunas: hammam, Finnish sauna, infrared sauna, relaxation rooms. There is a gym, outdoor and indoor pools. Therefore, if the weather deteriorates, you can have fun without leaving the hotel.
Separately, I would like to thank the staff. Well, if you speak English, then you will be understood without problems. Our knowledge is at the level of the school. We had to explain literally on our hands, but we were always understood, helped and advised.
Bus number 6 runs to the Old Town every 10-15 minutes. The fare costs 10 kunas (1 kuna is about 5.7 rubles). On a ticket purchased on the bus, you can travel again within an hour from the moment it is activated. The fish and food market is located next to the port of Grush, this is the fifth stop from the hotel. You have to go to the Old Town to the final stop. If you are interested in seeing other streets of Dubrovnik, you can take bus number 7 from the President Hotel.
