Admiral Grand Hotel

Just back from a wonderful 10 days in Slano. The location of the hotel is absolutely fabulous with its own beach and the views are amazing. The room was a little on the small side for three (we had our teenage son with us) but perfectly workable and housekeeping came everyday and kept the room spotless. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. Evening meals are buffet style, again ample choice and good quality - can feel a little repetitive later in the week but the half board option is very reasonable and well worth it - we went out a couple of evenings and enjoyed the local restaurants for a change of scenery. We were expecting a disco which the younger members of our party would have particularly enjoyed but we couldn’t find it!! We asked where it was and were told it was closed for repair following water damage? The staff were GREAT - always friendly and helpful, providing excellent service. Special thank to Elise - Merci beaucoup! - she was a superstar! Slano itself is fairly small and quiet, with a lovely gentle pace, friendly people snd is largely unspoilt - visit now while it is still that way!!

Our last night here as I type. Just the wife and I stayed for 1 week at half board. The food and choices of it are quality. The rooms are of a high standard although with a travel inn vibe and feel. I don't think there are any with a bad view. You will either get a sea cove view or mountain view. Both are equally stunning. There is a very relaxed atmosphere and ambience about the place. It's surrounded externally by top class restaurants a few tourist shops and 2 spar type shops. The town itself has a small dock where you will often see cruise ships and yachts docked. The beach is of small stone and the swimming pool itself has sea water and bit Kikichlorinated fresh water. There is plenty of seating and no need to rush for a deck chair as there are plenty on the beach or around the pool. Recommend the boat trips that are on offer at the dock. If you go to Dubrovnik I would suggest a better experience is to go late afternoon/evening on bus and get a bolt ride home as the buses are every 2hr and usually packed and the castle is really hectic during the day.

Looks amazing. Setting is idyllic. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You have a balcony with two chairs and a table (in a double room so not sure about larger rooms). Ours was overlooking the pool and the sea - we had a lightning storm on our first night here and it was stunning over the sea. Food has been good so far. It’s buffet style so can be warm rather than hot but it’s still good. Breakfast - lots of choice. Evening meal- lots of choice also. Beach is made from shingle/very small pebbles and that leads into the sea. It’s painful under bare foot so suggest bringing water shoes. Sun loungers, plentiful and also, there is no rush for them. No four in the morning grab-a-bed! The hotel supply beach towels too. Just collect them from the guy on your way to your lounger. Staff are helpful, friendly and work really hard, especially the catering staff. We have loved our stay here and are sorry to be leaving today.

Ok ,so first off read some recent reviews about being "Stir Crazy" well guess they so narrow minded they should have stuck to Benidorm . The hotel location is excellent ,easy to get a sunbed in mornings without the usual 6am towel wars. Do your research on the village of Slano before going then moaning about what it does not have etc . Yes the staff clear your plates quick,but at NO point are you made to leave ,you can go back in and get more food if you wish . As for breakfast ,what do you really want ,as everything you need for a good breakfast. Staff....found them all polite ,happy and engaging,happy to help and give advice where to go and what to do. Rooms ...beds made everyday and cleaned . Bar...yes it may close early for some people but if you 24hr drinking like I say go back to Benidorm. They have bars in the village you can drink in past midnight . We went to the marina bar was open until 1am . The village itself is quiet ,we went on 2 boat trips with the Slano boat excursions ..was brilliant and well worth the money. Cons.....only have 1 ...the dress code rule on evening is non existent..people turning up in football tops and tatty shorts. Don't waste money on nice expensive trousers as you won't need them judging by what they allow people to wear . Overall ....we would go back in a heartbeat ..quiet , tranquil,relaxing place,a step back in time of a relaxing non exploited area. If you can't be happy in each others company then go Benidorm as this isn't for you 5/5

This is a lovely hotel.The staff are friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfasts and dinner substantial, well presented and a very good choice to cater for everyone. It is right on the beach and the views are spectacular It has an outdoor and indoor pool both of which are big with plenty of loungers both at the pool and on the beach. I stayed with my son and daughter in sea view rooms and they kindly made sure we had adjoining rooms.The rooms are cleaned every day I highly recommend this hotel
