Zavalatica Holidays from £314

I’m not sure if this is a regional standard or simply the hotel’s policy, but for a 4-star hotel, the lack of even basic amenities was very surprising. There was no kettle, tea or coffee in the room, no conditioner, and no body lotion. It honestly felt very outdated for a hotel in this category. Breakfast was particularly disappointing. There was a lot of variety, but unfortunately almost everything was tasteless. Many items were overly oily, the breads were dry, and even the breakfast coffee was very poor. Cleanliness was another major issue. The public restrooms were dirty almost every time I used them, and on more than one occasion the toilets had literally been left unflushed and soiled. This is simply not acceptable for a 4-star property. The one genuinely positive part of my stay was the staff working on the 3rd floor. They were consistently warm, smiling, helpful and kind, and I really appreciated them. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the rest of the service, which I found largely unhelpful. Overall, the experience fell far below what I would expect from a 4-star hotel, both in terms of amenities and basic standards of food, cleanliness and service.

Absolutely stunning views of the Adriatic and Dubrovnik. Do not hesitate, this villa is absolutely beautiful and has all the amenities you need for your stay. We enjoyed our mornings on the balcony overlooking the sea and cooling off in pool during the evenings. But the best part of the stay was our host! Adrian and Naira made us feel like family. They were so gracious and generous during our stay. We hope to return soon!

Stayed there for two weeks with kids 9 and 11, and grandparents. Amazing place. Perfect surroundings on the Dalmatian countryside along wineyards and family restaurants. Cavtat and Dubrovnik is far away, consider rental car for the stay if you want to check out other places. Montenegro and Bosnia is only 30 mins to the border. The house was very clean and smelled nice. We had plenty of space for us six. The outside grillhouse was very nice for a break from the sun and to have dinners/bbq. Would definately recommend to others and consider revisiting. If I should complain about a single thing, it would be the matressess, a bit too hard for our taste. A thick top-mattress would do the trick. Overall, excellent!

Lovely hotel and in good position for the old town. Room view was disappointing/next to the air conditioning and the ‘complimentary’ half bottle of wine turned out to cost us €90, so beware.
