The hotel on the territory can be compared with the Egyptian 5 *. There is a playground, volleyball and basketball, a large swimming pool with shallow and deep zones. The territory is green and well-groomed. Standard rooms are, of course, small (all with a bathroom of 12 m2) and very modest, but everything is clean, whole and quite acceptable. Our friends moved for an additional fee to a room of a higher class, but it is not so big and chic. There are rooms with balconies, but this is higher than standard. Cleaned up every day. Tipping is not taken! ! The food was excellent and varied. There are different types of food. Theirs All is the usual full board, because everything in the bar is paid. Shara only during meals. The main plus of the hotel is that it is located on the outskirts of the city in the forest, 500 m to the nearest promenade, the beach behind the gate is large and gentle (medium pebbles, hedgehogs only at depth), there is another beach nearby and a separate nudist beach (marked fkk - it says on the rocks ). Nearby are the hotels Tirena, President, Ariston, Neptune, Valamar Lacroma. But for various reasons (for example, you can only enter the water from the stairs and sunbathe on wild stones), you can only choose the Valamar Club or the President from these hotels. Our choice could fall on Vis, Bellevue, Compas, but after looking at them already on the spot, we came to the conclusion that Valamar is better, because these hotels are urban - there is no territory, the beaches are small and crowded. Radison Blu is a wonderful luxury hotel, but it is located 16 km from the city and the island and the sea as such are not visible in front of the hotel. And in the case of Valamar, that is, both a quiet backwater and the open sea. Near the hotel (50 m) there are cafes and shops. The city bus in Dubrovnik stops next to the hotel, tickets can be bought on the bus 10 kunas and at the hotel 8 kunas. On one ticket you can ride on different buses for an hour. The hotel sells travel cards for 25 kunas per day. The hotel is inhabited by French, Germans and Spaniards. all pensioners or with children. Animation is designed for this contingent. Excursions may not be taken, as you can take a bus at the bus station and go to Cavtat, Ston, Split, etc. You can rent a car at the hotel (from 45 euros per day). Drivers on the roads are very careful and disciplined. There are practically no Russian guides!! ! You can also sail to the islands - take a boat on the beach and go on a trip (much cheaper than an excursion). But it is worth taking apartments, not hotels, because in supermarkets there are products at normal prices (a large mesh of mussels 9 kunas, 1 kg of squid 20 kunas). 1 kuna - 5.4 dollars or 7.2 euros. They change equally normally both euros and dollars, both in the hotel and in the city, the exchange rate is the same. Restaurants are expensive - 1 kg of fried squid - 300 kunas, a large fish dish for two - 250 kunas, soup - 40 kunas, wine - 120-300 kunas (30-150 kunas in the store).
You only need to go to Croatia for May, because everything is still blooming, it’s not hot, but it’s not cold either, it’s quite possible to swim and there are few people on the beach. The rain was, but small and short. My relatives were vacationing in Dubrovnik in August, it was possible to go crazy from the heat.
