None of these are major issues on their own, but together they do highlight a need for more consistency in housekeeping and attention to detail. Breakfast, however, is a real highlight – genuinely excellent
You’ll notice some older, post-socialist-era buildings alongside newer developments, but also a beautifully updated promenade with plenty of great restaurants serving local food and flavours
The location is also a real plus – close enough to Dubrovnik’s main attractions to feel convenient, yet just far enough away from the busiest crowds to offer a bit of breathing space
It felt like there may be some staffing challenges at the start of the season, as certain outlets (including the coffee shop and bar) were closed during slightly poorer weather
There were a couple of small inconsistencies (for example, being offered fresh juice at the table on some mornings but not others), but the quality and variety were impressive
It’s important to say that none of this is meant as a complaint for the sake of it. This is a genuinely lovely hotel and a step up from much of what’s available in the area

They even made us a breakfast box to take away on an early morning start. Indoor pool and sauna were clean and very nice. Checked out the gym but didn’t use it, equipment looked everything you could need
Only shame was that the al la carte poolside restaurant didnt stay open til 9pm as stated meaning one evening we found it difficult to find somewhere to eat
The poolside restaurant has seats outside and in shade, it’s open and looks very modern, menu is good for lunch and snacks, pizzas are great and also the pasta
Great food, great location, great pools
A big hotel but with some great facilities such as 3 pools spa and breakfast included. Quiet location with easy 10 minute bus link to the town. Amazing views and lovely weather
Really great area to bade yourself for a stay in Dubrovnik. Babin Kuk is mainly made up of resort hotels, including the Valamar group which meant you could use the loungers on the beach at the nearby President hotel
A really beautiful and modern hotel with great location close to the town of Umag. Perfect if you want to use it as a jumpoff point for exploring the region or just to decelerate your life a little
Great place, freshly renoviert, clean beach with great view. Food is a bit blend, it was the Achilles' heel of the hotel. Otherwise, highly recommend
Cold swimming pool was a blast! I felt very nice and had a great time thank you, Coral! (Not trying to be harsh in the lines below, you have a great place so here's my feedback to make is extraordinary 🙏🏾😇)
Not many people, nice cosy seaside space, lots of towels, trees and a very high quality equipment! It has everything you might need. It is large yet somehow feels small and cosy and very very private
Pool area was quite and we enjoyed the cooler saltwater instead of chlorine water
The radiator in the bathroom is not working, so where to dry the swimming trunks after swimming in the indoor pool? The staff is very friendly and kind, so please renovate a bit and give them a nicer place to work

Absolutely amazing Hotel and Service. Service here way above what you can ever dream of ! Location magical !
Nice newly renovated rooms with nice private beach, including an adult only area. Great staff, all we met were very friendly and spoke English well. Breakfast was great with an amazing choice of options
Tiling around pools could use some work, so be careful. Showers are not a great design and hard to keep water in the tub. Rooms are nicely renovated but no real sea views due large trees
The "beach" is a concrete pier with deck chairs and umbrellas, which are free, but many guests reserve them at 8 am and do not show up until noon. The access to the sea is thus either by ladder or by diving
The sea is crystal clear but cooler than the Caribbean. The pier has two tiers, separated by a one-foot step, with no warning line, and 6-inch stairs in only a couple locations
I immediately realized this was a safety hazard, but nevertheless fell down over the one-foot drop, misjudging the depth, with only minor scrapes, fortunately
Pools were a really good size & pool loungers with availability was questionable. People would be going down early morning to place towels down then going off for the day and not returning until mid afternoon
The trip from the bedroom to the restaurant or the pool is a bit cumbersome, as the elevator only goes to the reception area, and you have to walk down the length of the lobby and down the stairs to go to them
The highlight of our holiday was definitely the aquagym with Marco – he was so energetic, full of positive vibes, and always in a great mood! The music selection was fantastic, with great songs in English and Spanish that kept everyone moving and smiling
The highlight for us was the quality of the food in the restaurant, as well as all the staff there. Everyone in the restaurant area are extremely friendly and helpful
We had a perfect stay at Hotel Mediteran Plava Laguna! Everything was excellent – from the service and cleanliness to the beautiful surroundings
And again the food quality, considering the large number of people to serve, is outstanding

The hotel is in a good location. You can see the bell tower of the port from the hotel. In short, the scenery is endless. The room facilities are new and complete, the price is more expensive but worth the experience
The hotel is long, but there is only one place with an elevator. Our room is far from the elevator, and we have to walk a long way to the elevator every time. Friendly staff, but not many breakfast options
Thanks to the hotel for the warm hospitality, strategic location, polite staff, high quality breakfast and dinner, and excellent management. Especially for the birthday wishes to my wife, we will come back.
The hotel is located opposite the ancient city, and the scenery is definitely unmatched by other hotels. However, the interior decoration is not worthy of the room rate of about 4,500
This hotel is so beautiful. I highly recommend it.
Great hotel, the breakfast had a huge selection to choose from, great pool and pool bar, the staff was splendid
– In the spa area, it was too hot on the loungers and there was no real way to cool down unless you moved to the pool area in another room. - It would be nice if still tap water was offered free of charge with dinner
Very nice stay! The rooftop spa was cozy with a beautiful view and a relaxing atmosphere. The lobby bar was also a highlight, with great vibes and live music in the evenings
50 per day, the garage is actually a good deal. Suggestions for improvement: – A drying rack in the room for swimwear and towels would be helpful, especially if you don’t have a balcony
– On the pool terrace, water from the upper level sometimes drips onto the loungers below. This could easily be solved by adding gutters
The infinity pool, spa, and saunas with breathtaking sea views were just stunning. Honestly, those views alone are worth the price
The hotel seems new, very clean, good service, the breakfast was so good meny options, the pool is very nice I recommend this hotel. Even though the app offers free parking, I had to pay an extra charge.
We had a lovely stay at the hotel! The pool and the gym are both great, the breakfast had a vast selection and was delicious but the best part of this hotel was the excellence service of all staff
Fantastic breakfast, lots of options! Shout to wonderful people at the reception, they went above the call of duty! Mirna was working all 4 days at the reception and is a jewel, I would hire her tomorrow for my business in Canada, thanks Mirna!!!!!
near city center , have good customer services to explain the tourist area , hotel is clean & city view
Great modern hotel with a awesome rooftop bar, nice facilities and amazing room - we had the spacebath room and it was amazing - very futuristic, well equipped and the bath next to the window was fantastic
Nevertheless, definitely a recommendation! It is also a 20 mins walk away from the city Center, that’s something one should be aware of as well
Heated swimming pool inside, outside the pool was too cold. The breakfast and dinner times were great
Perfect place for a stay - longer or just a weekend. Clean, spacious room and hotel facilities. Amazing view from the balcony and infinity pool
Very good spa included in the price
Definitely too cold water in the swimming pools😕
00- midnight which is clearly audible from room balcony. A number of different swimming pools (no lifeguards) including the infamous infinity pool on the 9th floor
The hotelroom was great, same floor as reception. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. When we asked for water cattle, the staff provided immediately. Hotel situated right at the beach, perfect for long walks
Beautiful hotel, everything looks great, people who are working there are very friendly, nice, welcoming, we had beautiful vacation for a woman’s day, everything was perfect, specially food and the view
The beach is lovely and well-kept. One big advantage is the free charging for electric cars – a real plus! Overall, a solid choice for a relaxing seaside holiday
Hotel offers private parking which was great, location is right on the beach of Stella Maris and close to everything. Rooms were quite basic, but clean, nice balcony with a beautiful sea view
We spent a few days at Hotel Sipar Plava Laguna in September 2024 and had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is clean and nicely maintained, with a calm atmosphere
Most of the guests were German, which is also reflected in the style of service – organized and efficient. The food was good, and there’s a small water park for kids, which is a great bonus for families
Very good, some food a bit cold.
Pool is a little small but the beach makes up for that and it’s not a long walk to the beach. The room was clean and spacious too and most importantly during the COVID time the room was cleaned well
The pool was great but no lifeguard so didn’t feel safe with the kids and nobody around to ask for towels or drinks so it didn’t give that nice hotel feel.
Most of the pool is surrounded by deckchairs which is unusual and there is gravel around the sunbed area which inevitably ends up in the pool. Such a shame - not the relaxing, chilled out holiday I’d hoped for
Great hotel in a beautiful village on the island of Brac. Stunning view of Split over the water - perfect for drinks at sundown. Restaurant is good, with lots of options. Pool area is nice, but can be very busy
The selection is ok for a short stay. Big queues for hot dishes during the dinner. Guests are "reserving" the sunbeds early before breakfast and are not using them. They stay mostly empty throughout the day
The hotel does nothing about it. We could not find sunbeds during our 5 nights stay. Rooms are clean, spacious with modern design
Very noisy with loud music, kids running everywhere and “pool events “. There should really be a pool just for adults but as it is the kids use all three - and as I say - theres lots of them
The hotel staff and manager are amazing. They upgraded us to a villa that also has its own parking. Will post more pictures from the private beach and infinity pool. Please stop by to check this hotel out
Superb hotel with great staff and facilities. The spa is amazing and the rooms are very comfortable. 2 points for improvement; some guests left their garbage in the hallway, which was not picked up
We had a wonderful time in this hotel! Room with a sea view, comfy beds, and great restaurants!
Michelin-star restaurant on the top of the building with more than professional presentation of local foods.
Excellent breakfast with a wide selection of sweet and savory options; by Italian standards, you could even have lunch. 😊
The wellness area is very elegant and spacious, with various saunas and a hammam
It is less than year old and all is perfectly balanced. All the rooms have stunning views, the pools are large and stylish, the spa offered so many options ro relax
Amazing pool and beach seating areas, great service and the rooms have the best views. Breakfast is amazing, and pizzas were excellent
The style is modern and the hotel is well-maintained. During our trip the rooftop pool and bar were unfortunately closed which deducts 1 star. The indoor pool was great and the saunas too
Due to rainy weather I didn't go outside much so I can't comment on the small private beach or outdoor pools
It was perhaps too expensive for me, but at the table I did see wine served, plus six macaroons. I had asked from the beginning if I could have my room, even if I paid a supplement, because of a late flight at 7:30 p
The response was negative, too many reservations. I was given two shared shower stalls at the spa, which were not cleaned between each guest. I had to walk around with my clothes in my hands until I got to the spa
Absolutely gorgeous! The view is stunning and every staff is so friendly and welcoming, especially the receptionist Manujana! Her hospitality and enthusiasm is top-tier! Give it a try and you’ll love this place
Not up to 5-star standards
You sold me an ocean view, I got a mountain view, a parking lot view, and a side view. The reception
They didn't take my half-board into account. I didn't have a meal the first night
Coffee from coffee machine was terrible, probably instant coffee used? When asking for pool towels be ready to pay 5€ a day per towel, never before had that happened
Beautiful views of sea and Split.
Very clean with pleasant and modern furnishings.
Yet to have breakfast, so can't rate it yet.
Very nice place in a lovely spot
Amazing friendly and great food
Check in and check out was eeasy and pleasant. Only inconvenience was the parking, needing to loop a couple times to find, which was timeconsuming based on thr area
This hotel has so much to offer - great location, good food, kind working staff, many entertaining options for kids and adults, playroom, sport field, pool with slides Will for sure came back!
The hotel offers everything you could wish for: a lovely pool, delicious food, (Grano Duro), comfortable and stylish rooms… simply perfect. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
All perfect. Food, sea, swimming pool, slides, place, staff, play zone, accommodations. The best vacation, especially for families with children
We found the keycards a bit annoying to use every time to enter the pool, and think wristbands would be easier. This way we only got 2 cards for 4 of us. Separate pool for small children
The pool was the ideal place for relaxation and reading, and the beach is less than a minute away. Plenty of bars and restaurants around, and Makarska centre about 20min walk away
Everything was clean & tidy and the pool was maintained well. It opened later than what we hoped for, 9am every day, and slightly small
Pool, lots of sun lounges and brollies, beautiful but very cold not salt water very close to beach would advise taking water shoes as beach is very rocky and painful underfoot, Adriatic sea freezing
The basic training is a SMILE. Anyway for a 3 star hotel with all inclusive it is a very good value for money option. I wouldn’t stay here if we were to spend the whole time in the hotel with no excursions
Two hour transfer from airport on coach. plenty of food in the all-inclusive buffet and snacks in between, coffee machine in reception if you need out of hours
Best vacation experience in my life. Have to say we got quite lucky with the apartment. We got it on the 8th floor with the most beautiful view looking at both the sea to the left and the high mountains to the right
We always had an empty elevator because it emptied out always at the 8th floor. Even though Im a picky eater, and have celiac disease (cant eat gluten), I still managed to get a full and tasty meal everyday
Only problem is you have to take an empty bottle with you every day to fill it up after breakfast lunch and dinner. It was one in a lifetime experience for me personally
older but well-maintained hotel, perfect pastries for breakfast, good all inclusive (drinks and food all day), wonderful new wellness, helpful staff. in some rooms the air conditioning was not working properly
Excellent hotel.. ledt my passport and moneybin drawer in room by mistake one day was untouched ... nothing was too much trouble there
the staff was helpful and changed the room to a better one with good air conditioning
Excellent modern hotel, clean and well maintained.
went all inclusive. plenty of varity of food all areas spotlessly clean. staff friendly and eager to help. would be nice to have tea and coffee in room
Looks like a cruise ship that got stuck on the land. But it's ok.
We were pleasantly suprised by the access to 6 different pools on arrival to our hotel including 1 on the rooftop. There was a lovely gym, spa on site also with access to all. Breakfast was great each morning
Only negatives i can really find was that there were no double beds in the rooms, only 2 single beds joined together to lake a double, I had called and the man at reception said this was the case for the whole hotel
Had a great stay at the Royal Princess Resort. The hotels are all part of the same group so you can use the facilities across the properties. The walkway from the promenade into Lapad was so beautiful
The location was perfect, right on the bay with great views, and the perfect view of the sunset each night. There was a bus stop just a 2 minute walk away, which was just a €2 trip to Old Town
Beaches are super clean and the staff could not be nicer. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so incredibly memorable. Dubrovnik city is only a quick Uber away
The staff were friendly, more so those in the Vista Bar who were very helpful than at the reception but nevertheless, still friendly
A large hotel complex with 4 swimming pools, located right on the seafront in a beautiful bay. Just a few minutes walk from the city center. This spacious room is well equipped with a minibar and air conditioning
Our rooms on 7th floor like student accommodation. Very few photos show this hotel bedrooms. Most reviews are from foreign guests
Lovely getaway
The views are beautiful. And the balconies are spacious but know that your neighbour may be a smoker and the smoke drifts into your room. It is difficult to find umbrellas either at the pool or beach
Amazing holiday with friends and family! Superb service, pools and bedroom views on the Adriatic sea!
We had a pleasant stay in hotel Mimosa. The rooms were very clean andequipped with all of our needs. We had a beautiful view to the harbor and enjoyed the singing of the birds from our large balcony
Everything was excellent once again. The one thing missing was evening entertainment. Great for families, young and old. You can walk out of your hotel and straight onto the beach
One of the best things was the variety of beaches to choose from. Each day, we could visit a different one. There was also a water park and an indoor pool facility in case of rain
This is my second year in a row staying at Hotel Niko, and already my fourth time here—and for good reason! Each visit just confirms why I keep coming back: the warmth, the hospitality, and the incredible people who work here
The water park had an entrance fee, though it was half price when we were there, while the indoor pools at a nearby hotel were free to use
They go above and beyond to make every meal and moment enjoyable, always with a smile and a kind word. Their genuine care, positive energy, and attention to every detail make you feel truly valued as a guest
Whether it’s a morning coffee or a late dinner, they’re always there to make sure everything is perfect. They don’t just serve you – they create a beautiful atmosphere filled with warmth, laughter, and connection
I also want to extend my deepest thanks to all the other staff at Hotel Niko—everyone at reception, the housekeeping team who kept everything spotless, the kitchen and restaurant staff who prepared delicious meals, and those who ensured everything was always in order and clean
