Beach Hotels in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia

Although this hotel is situated quite some distance from the Old Town this is not a bad thing at all. Insect I very much appreciated being removed from the thick crowds and noise, and very much enjoyed the peace and tranquility and spectacular sea views from this wonderful resort. Definitely worth paying extra for a c facing room, for breathtaking panoramas day and night. My room was elegantly decorated and very comfortable, with ample space for everything although a luggage rack or designated space for luggage would enhance overall comfort greatly. Staff were generally helpful and polite, with special mention to Matija the Restaurant Manager, who, despite handling large volumes of customers, remained unfailingly cheerful and energetic. The breakfast buffet was very generous by European standards, whilst the dinner buffet selection was also more than adequate and quite good value at 35 Euros per person. As mentioned in previous reviews, a bus connects the Babin Kuk area (where the Royal Ariston and her neighboring sister hotels, the Royal Princess, Royal Blue, Royal Palm and Neptun are situated) to the Old Town. If you purchase the 40 Euro Dubrovnik City pass, discovers one day worth of this bus travel plus access to the city walls and its museums. Cannot recommend this resort highly enough and look forward to my return.

Staffs are very helpful and caring. We have very early morning flight and need to leave hotel before breakfast starts. The staff offers to prepare breakfast box for us to take to airport. The hotel is relatively new considering the similar age of hotel. It takes only 20 mins Uber to old town which I find it’s completely acceptable. It’s good choice for relax and also not far from airport. We will definitely go back to stay this hotel if we visit here again.

War eigentlich in Ordnung aber ☝️ es gibt Schlangen in verschiedenen Größen, was auch normal ist.

Nice resort only 5min water taxi from old town and 8-10min drive to wineries. There is a grocery store right across the street which is handy. The lady who runs the rentals on site is very good and fast to get things done. The small pool gets very busy and does not have much seating. They charge to use the chairs at the beach even if you stay at the hotel. The buffet breakfast was good, but very busy. There is a small, much more relaxed (rocky) beach 4min walk from the resort.

Very disappointed. I usually look for the best accommodation at any place where I go for a holiday. This hotel with small rooms, no ventilation and poorly maintained small balcony with uncared for bushes and shrubs blocking any excess or views was not something I expected when I booked the place. Food variety and quantity extremely small at least in room service. Please replace the word “ Palace” or just delete it.

Very good hotel, everything is great

Great location for solo female travellers. 7mins walk to the old town where you can get food and take day trips from. In the afternoon when it gets too hot, you can come back to the hotel for a siesta or chill by the deck chairs. House keeping was great with constant refreshing of the room. Would stay here again. Only negative is that there’s a live band playing at a nearby beach club from 8pm to around 10.50pm each night. Can’t get any rest until the set ends (even with ear plugs on). I had assumed that the live band was playing at a restaurant within the hotel as the music was so loud but the concierge clarified that it was from a nearby beach club and it’s because it’s summer. To be fair the music was nice but loud.

This is a wonderfully relaxed hotel . The central facilities ( restaurant , lounge, bar, entertainment area ) are on two levels and nestle into the bay whilst the bedroom accommodation is in groups of villas that blend well into the surrounding houses, that face into the beautiful horseshoe bay. The all inclusive arrangement where meal times are well spread out means the restaurant is never too busy . An excellent place for a relaxed holiday

The pros: I arrived 2 hours earlier and was thankful that concierge checked me in immediately. The view from my room was wonderful and the breakfast variety was fine though the same menu was served daily throughout my 4 night stay. The vicinity of Lapad is not near to the old town, but I specifically selected the area/hotel to be away from crowds and large tour groups, so I’m happy with it. The area is beautiful, with plenty of rock coves for walks and exploration. The cons: Mirror to the cupboard was cracked and plastered over with aluminium tape, design of the room is definitely dated, carpets are a little stained though these are not important to me. As a solo female Asian traveller, I do observe that older staff, male especially, communicate with some sense of superiority towards me, in comparison to western guests. In other words, I do not feel welcome. That applies to Dubrovnik in general, while in Zagreb, service staff are much friendlier.
