Admiral Grand Hotel

I stayed for a week half-board in a side sea-view room. The room was quiet and clean with a bath and a good, powerful shower. All of the staff are friendly, helpful, and polite, and it was a pleasure to meet them. Breakfast was fairly standard, similar to many 4/5 star hotels. The evening meal buffet was very good. If you like fish(and I don't), there were monkfish, shark, bream, and salmon, to name a few. I preferred the meat dishes: roast beef, fillet mignon, etc., and I was pleasantly surprised by the turkey in orange sauce. For some reason, I did not like any of the bread on offer, and the soups were somewhat bland, but other than that, the food was very good. Slano is a quiet, scenic village, so if you like nightlife, it may not be for you. It is conveniently located on the beach between Dubrovnik (45 minutes by bus) and Ston ( 20 minutes by bus, but not frequently). I highly recommend the scenic mountain walk from Ston to Mali Ston, and a day trip to Lokrum Island.

When my husband was taken ill on holiday at the Admiral, the Staff could not have been more caring and helpful. Miss Branca, the General Manager, visited him in the hospital, an hour away, l to ensure he was ok. During the whole of our extended stay, the hotel staff were exemplary.

Beautiful location, set in a quiet bay. A few restaurants, supermarket, lovely bakery and pharmacy all opposite the hotel. The hotel is situated directly on a shingle beach, so take some beach shoes. Plenty of sunbeds, so no issue finding one whatever time of day, and if the weather is not good enough to sit outside there are sunbeds by the indoor pool as well. All the staff are friendly and pleasant so ignore any reviews that say they are not. Rooms are large and spacious with beautiful views, and the quietest we've ever stayed in. Restaurant food was very good both for breakfast and evening meal, but we did not approve of the cost of the bottled water, when tap water is readily available. The snack bar served excellent burgers at lunch time, but we often went to either the restaurant over the road, Maestral, which we can recommend to share a pizza or to the lovely bakery for some pastries. There is a bus stop directly outside to Dubrovnik and other buses available at the main road which is a very short walk away. We went on a couple of TUI trips to Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, both very good, but a long time on the coach especially to Montenegro. We also made our own way around by bus to Dubrovnik, Ston and Trsteno Arboretum. The area is very quiet and not much to do after your evening meal other than go for a walk, so be prepared for this. We would definitely stay at this hotel again, as we had an amazing chill out holiday. The only negatives are the cost of the bottled water at the hotel, the tea and coffee in the room is not replenished (so take some extra or buy at the supermarket) and the room fridge is stocked with their expensive drinks. I asked if we could remove them to put our own things in and they said 'no'. I would suggest that the hotel sorts these minor issues and then everything would be absolutely perfect. A big shout out to our TUI rep, Kristina, she was amazing, the best rep ever.

We’ve just returned from a fabulous holiday, our first visit to Croatia but not our last. Having stayed in many 5* Hotels, we would say the Admiral Grand is more high end 4* The Hotel is right on the beach, set in a small village (Slano) with stunning views. The pool bar offers refreshing drinks and the most delicious burgers, highly recommended if peckish lunchtime. We really enjoyed the food, breakfast is very good and dinner had an extensive choice of dishes on offer, my husband who loves meat was in meat heaven! We found the dining room staff pleasant and helpful. The bottled table water charge didn’t bother us, but as many have mentioned there would not be a charge in a 5* hotel and at least free tap water should be on offer. From start to finish we felt welcome and found the hotel staff, polite, professional and friendly. The hotel is quiet, very peaceful and just the relaxing break we needed. We returned home refreshed and rested and already planning our trip to return. Ps: Do take the bus into Beautiful Dubrovnik but be aware finding the return bus stop can be tricky, We walked to the bus station. The bus drivers are friendly and helpful, if in doubt just ask.

Set in a gorgeous picturesque village with gorgeous bays and mountains it really gives you that chill out wow factor. Rooms are a very nice size with a good size bathroom and balcony. I was top floor 3rd floor room 301 with a magnificent view out across the bay. Hotel overall extremely clean. Lovely near on private beach. You could always get a sun bed around by the pool, even in the middle of the afternoon. Food was fairly basic, I would always find something really nice to eat. Not the biggest of choice but still very nice. You can drink the tap water here, yet in the restaurant you have to pay for bottle water which I thought was quite unfair. After dinner could be quite boring. In the 7 nights I stayed I think only 2 nights we had evening entertainment. Found by 9:30pm 90% of guests had gone to bed. Opposite the hotel there's a small supermarket, post office and bus stop. Within 2 minutes walk you have a ice parlour, 3 restaurants, 1 bar 1 bakery and 2 souvenir shops. There's a beautiful marina 5 minutes walk away. I booked this hotel as a 4 star hotel, and thats exactly what I got. On the sign Outside it says 5 star hotel. But it's a very good 4 star hotel. If you want a week of totally relaxation then book here. Ignore the bad reviews this is a lovely hotel. Definitely book a sea view room.
