The hotel in detail
- Parking

- Pool & spa
- Heated outdoor infinity pool, spa with sea-view treatment rooms, sauna and gym.
- Family facilities
- Children over 12 are the norm; cots available but there is no kids' club and the terraces are stepped.
- Accessibility
- The building is built down a slope with lifts between levels; the jetty is reached by steps — tell the hotel in advance if steps are a problem.

- Check-in / Check-out
- Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 12:00.
Getting there
- Airport transfer
- Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) is 22 km away — around 28 minutes by private transfer in normal traffic. Times can be longer with border traffic, road works, accidents or summer congestion between 11:00 and 14:00. See airport transfer options.
- Taxi / Uber estimate
- Old Town ≈ 6 min · Cruise port (Gruž) ≈ 14 min · Airport ≈ 28 min. Uber operates in Dubrovnik but surges on cruise days and after midnight — a fixed private price is usually steadier. Check fare estimates.
- Longer journeys
- Journey times to Kotor, Mostar, Split and the islands.
Local insider tips
- Use the free hotel boat to the Old Town harbour — it beats the road on every count.
- Sveti Jakov Beach is below the hotel but reached by around 160 steps; take a taxi back up.
