호텔 크로아티아

Enormous hotel. Doesn’t feel like a holiday hotel, several different conferences happening during our stay. May be different in high season. Lots of sections closed/deserted. Too big for us. Breakfast offering vast but basic and not hot. Omelette good. Very impersonal. Long trek up and down from main town though buggy transport randomly available. Wouldn’t return. Would stay closer to town in smaller hotel/air b and b.

New refurbished rooms. Clean and nice amenities in the bathroom. Sea view is spectacular. Breakfast at the property was good but takeaway breakfast was not too nice. It came in a flimsy box which broke along the way as the items were too heavy for the box.

The hotel is in a stunning cliffside location, close to the picturesque town of Cavtat. While the public areas are beginning to look dated, apparently the rooms are in the process of refurbishment. Our room hadn't yet been remodeled, but was perfectly adequate, if slightly on the smaller side. On the first afternoon we spent a few hours at the pool which was crowded and noisy at times. I far preferred the beach below, accessible by golf carts if you didnt want to use the stairs. But then I discovered another area that was on the rocks that lead to the small nudist beach. We were able to get 2 rocking chairs and an umbrella and that was where we spent the remainder of our stay. It was relaxing, quiet and sheer bliss. We will definitely go back next time we visit Croatia and hopefully the refurbishment of the rooms will have been completed.

The location is unbeaten. Cavtat is stunning and Hotel Croatia, perched on the hilltop overlooking the Adriatic Sea, has the best views. The hotel itself is huge, more like a city. The restaurant breakfast buffet was great, the local restaurants are a short walk and offer a wide range of delicious food options for lunch and dinner. The outdoor pool is a nice size and offers a mix of sun of shaded spots. We favoured the beachside loungers with the most fantastic view, a short walk from the town Center and served by the Spinaker bar and restaurant . The indoor pool, sauna, steam room were also a nice benefit and the saunas even had sea views. Staff are friendly and helpful, our refurbished room was clean and spacious with a tree top view. Take time to explore the walks and pathways around and head to Dubrovnik, further north through Croatia or even Montenegro and further.

For a 5 star hotel it falls short No coffee machine in room just kettle The toiletries are probably worst I’ve had, in spa showers no conditioner, body wash or lotion No cava or proper coffee just filtered Buggy was a god send I’m not keen on salt water pools which I should have read, and outdoor pool very cold as not heated, sea is warmer (beginning sept stay) Mini fridge was not cold But worse for me was the Air con it was dreadful not cool at all, I could hardly sleep as soon as warm.
