Guided excursions to the Elaphiti Islands are available, and the coastal promenade connects to Lapad's restaurants and bars. The number 6 bus stops 2 minutes walk from the hotel, running every 10-15 minutes to the Old Town's Pile Gate.

“In my opinion, this 5-star hotel excels with its blend of luxury and prime Adriatic location, providing both relaxation and easy access to Dubrovnik's highlights. The multiple pools, spa, and varied dining, including a rooftop bar, create distinct experiences within the resort. Though reaching the hotel with group bookings may present initial hurdles, the overall experience-enhanced by efficient transit to the Old Town-makes it a worthwhile consideration.”

The room was large and cleaned very well. The cleaning staff kept it tidy and refreshed it regularly. The breakfast offered plenty of options and was always delicious. Towels were available at the spa for beach use anytime. The gym include 3 treadmills and 2 stationary bikes.
The sauna was turned off during the day and you need to call 45 minutes before you want to use them.
