Hotel Lapad

I booked a seven day stay at Hotel Lapad for my wife and I to celebrate our 40th (Ruby) Wedding Anniversary, as somewhere special and the Hotel Lapad certainly was that somewhere special. We arrived after the restaurant had closed in the evening, but a lovely cold buffet meal was ready for us which was amazing. Our room, 706, was spacious and well equipped with a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. We had a nice side view of the marina, and the hotel is in a prime location across the road from the marina. Buffet breakfasts and evening meals were amazing with something for everyone, a wide and varied choice. Two bars, one on the street outside the hotel and one next to the pool were nice places to chill or listern to the live entertainment on about five nights a week. All the staff were friendly and extremely helpfull, but I must give special praise Goran who worked on reception. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area, and even suggested a tour of the local area on a TukTuk on our special day, which he booked for us. He also made other recommendations of places we could visit, and was always friendly and thoughtful. Also thanks to Zelyko in the restaurant, who, after I mentioned our wedding anniversary to him, arranged for a bottle of wine, a small bottle of liqueur, a varierty of sweets and cakes and a lovely letter of congratulations from the hotel to be put in our room after we went down for breakfast. Then that evening at dinner we were also given a glass of sparkling wine each, which we thought was extremely kind, and wonderful special touches. Some reviews state that the bus to Dubrovnik stops outside the hotel, however during our stay it had been re routed on a road way behind the hotel. This was no great hardship. All in all, the best hotel we have ever stayed in, we cannot recommend it enough, or praise the staff enough for making our special occassion very special. Thank you all.

Firstly, I was not expecting such a lovely location and view! We were on the waterfront, which is nice to walk along and view the boats. It’s particularly pretty at night when lit up. The mountains behind make a lovely backdrop. The hotel itself is made from old stone and has some lovely features, but don’t let this fool you. Inside, is clean, modern and smells fresh. There is a spa-like smell in the main reception and stairwell. The rooms, are fresh, modern and the bathrooms are clean. A little extra bonus was the Rituals products in the bathroom. The restaurant has a good variety for breakfast and dinner and the food is cooked well. We had meals both in the bar and out the front (which has a slightly different menu) and the food was good. The pool area was relaxing (no screaming or noise) and lovely and clean. Towels are provided free of charge, which I wish I’d looked up before I bothered to pack some. Entertainment at night was also good - various musicians and a very relaxed atmosphere. On our day trip to Montenegro (booked through the hotel reception team) they provided us with a packed breakfast to take on the bus. On booking our trip, the staff were very helpful and gave us all the information we needed to know. All the staff we spoke to were very helpful - the cleaners, restaurant and bar staff, receptionists etc. I can’t find fault with this hotel at all - I’d recommend it highly.

Beautiful hotel situated opp the marina where large cruise ships dock. Check in very efficient and tastefully decorated bedrooms and bathrooms with Ritual toiletries. We had a small balcony however it was much too hot to avail of. Breakfast is super...absolutely everything to offer inc champagne. We did not use the pool as it was busy and weather too hot. We walked about 20 minutes to the beach at Hotel Splendid which was charming and quiet. We ate in the hotel bar on 2 evenings which was pleasant and well presented. The hotel is about 30 min bus ride to the Old Town which is beautiful. We availed of a taxi back to the hotel which took 5 mins and much more convenient tho expensive. Loved this hotel and thoroughly recommend. Staff are very efficient and everywhere is kept to a high standard.

We arrived at around 10.30 am and were dropped off a coach from a cruise in the Carpark, upon entering we had to store our luggage and were told we couldn't check in until 3pm, this left us all sitting around for almost 5 hours, I realise this was tui fault for not mentioning we wouldn't be able to check in but it would have been nice to be warned so we could have some of our swimwear to change into. We were there when they had a wedding on the Saturday, which looked lovely in the courtyard but it did make me feel a little sad as it was also our golden wedding anniversary that day,I did email the hotel before we arrived but it wasn't acknowledged in any way, and the maid hadn't been to do our room as we were told we had to put the card on the door , which we didn't have in our room, they came to do the room but the lady wasn't happy and made us feel at fault. Not a great welcome, no anniversary wishes and no smiles from any staff during our 3 day stay. Also not a very disabled friendly hotel in any way, the tui rep used a room up two flights marble stairs with no hand rails or lift so we also missed that as i use a stick to walk with . This is my honest opinion of our stay and the hotel is very beautiful, plenty of choice in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner,. We enjoyed the evening entertainment which was outside and some tables and chairs outside would be a improvement as the indoor bar was very hot but the only only place to sit.

Lovely hotel, great staff. Great view of the marina. Unfortunately that's it !! Little to do around the area, except travel into Dubrovnik old town. Ridiculous prices in Dubrovnik, grossly overrun by tourists. Been twice now, think that'll do us.
