We stayed here for a week. The hotel is really big, larger than we'd normally go for, but we'd struggled to find a small boutique hotel with a pool. The pool area is lovely and great views out to sea. Our room was good, with a huge balcony, but the hotel definitely still feels more like a large resort than a luxury resort. You have to get a bus into the old town but it stops right outside the front and they're v regular. Nothing can prepare you for first seeing the old town, it is spectacular. We went in June and it was busy, apparently it gets even busier later in the summer. You can spend hours wondering around, it is so pretty. I'm not sure I'd go back to the Dubrovnik Palace, we had a drink at the sister hotel the Bellevue and it seemed really nice, smaller and more like a boutique hotel.

We stayed 4 nights in early December out of season and we think possibly only two other rooms were occupied so it was Ghost Town..........except for one night, when a noisy wedding party took place until 4am. Ensure your room/suite isn't one or two floors below the function room!

Staff were delightful, breakfast was excellent, but we were disappointed by the restaurant food which was overpriced.

Views from all the rooms are fabulous with great sunsets over the sea and islands. Decor was dull beige minimalist, but our suite (with shower room and bathroom) was very clean and newly furnished. Persistent drain smells in the shower room troubled us so we stopped using it. Reception staff told us they were caused by the wind! Comfortable beds.

The pool/spa was superb and we spent most of our time there, relaxing, when the weather wasn't too good and the lounge areas were deserted.

The public bus service into the city is frequent and excellent: only 15 minutes. Loved the city. Don't miss the wall walk.

Overall, an enjoyable stay and we might stay again, but in warmer weather to make use of the other hotel facilities such as the outdoor pools. The locals are charming and most speak English.

The hotel was lovely, everything you would expect from a five star, The breakfast was fine, with a great choice. We didnt stay half board, but we ate twice in the hotel in a cosy resturant on the bottam floor which was fine. We stayed for a week, but there wasnt a lot to do around Dubrovnik, and definitly was ready to go.
I would defintly come again for the hotel,
But not for the area.

We stayed here with a 3 month old baby and were very happy with the facilities etc. big disappointment was the food. Breakfast was fine but all the restaurants were seriously over-priced and food wasn't great.
Room service food was very poor also. Didn't seem to be any non-smoking sections in bar or restaurants.
The spa was excellent - treatments really good and average cost.
