Getting there
- Airport transfer

- Taxi / Uber estimate
- Old Town ≈ 14 min · Cruise port (Gruž) ≈ 10 min · Airport ≈ 32 min. Uber operates in Dubrovnik but surges on cruise days and after midnight — a fixed private price is usually steadier. Check fare estimates.

Local insider tips
- Rooms in the higher wings get the sea view; garden-view rooms are cooler in July.
