"This is our favorite hotel in Dubrovnik surroundings. Staff is always friendly, professional and welcoming. Hotel is very clean, beach is wonderful for swimming and relaxing. So many pools. No matter how busy hotel is, you always can find available loungers and beach towels. Spa facility is huge. You don’t need to book service to enjoy saunas or pool.Its very nice place to stroll in evening on the main path surrounded by several restaurants. We tried all of them and several times. In summer we appreciate theme nights. Our favorite is Croatian.We tried seabass baked in salt. Was the best meal of our vacation. Dinner spread is anonymous, can please anyone. Rooms are specious and very comfortable. Bell boys always there to assist you with luggage’s or parking. Thank you Sun gardens for your excellent delivered hospitality."
"The room was clean. We were in the annex and they should make that clear when booking.
The bathroom must have had previous flooding as the bottom of the door trim was damaged and the shower door was stained.
A weird shape room but was spacious enough.
It’s a 25min walk from old town.
The pool area is great but the flooring is worn and damaged in places, need footwear. Deck chairs could do with facing the sun more.
The access into the sea great.
Pool staff very helpful. Check in staff ok but not overly friendly or helpful.
Breakfast was great. Views lovely."
