Orsan Hotel by Aminess

We arrived at 11.30, way before check in - I know the rules, that one was on me - they did say they'd prioritise our room and call me. I went up a few times and only at 3pm was it ready - a bit of expectation management would have been good. The canteen is vile. I saw a mouse run across and that was it for me, appetite lost. The first night I had a few things, but it's all disgusting. The pool is salty, and the sort of people at this hotel are the kind who get their towels down at 3am so by 9am there's no space - animals. By 11am those towels reserving their spots still there, not an owner in sight.. Rooms are shabby. overall they take your money and spend nothing in on the quality, it's tired, it's old, it's ugly, it's a vile experience I paid c.£360 a night (400 euros)

Great location, staff is the best.

We went as a couple in early September for one week. The weather was fantastic, averaging at about 28 degrees each day. The hotel was clean, the gardens were pretty but it was very quiet. Paying the extra for the sea view is definitely worth it! We were in room 5. This was a good size, with wooden floors (many had carpets), a huge south-facing veranda and spectacular views over the water to Korcula town. There was no entertainment at the hotel in September. What entertainment that there was, was in a sister hotel, Grand Azur, next door. However on the poster of activities in our hotel, it didn't explain this, and the timetable of activities was incorrect. We did point this out both to the hotel reception, and to the animation team in the Grand Azur, but the poster was not replaced during our stay. Saying this, we did pop to the Grand Azur one evening and found out about the cycle trips. We took the free cycle trip the following morning and it was a highlight of our stay. The food at our hotel was of an excellent quality although it did not vary much from day to day, or between lunch and dinner. We particularly enjoyed the whole grilled fish - whitebait, sardines and even whole trout - which we'd not come across before in buffet-style half board restaurants before. We enjoyed the local dishes on offer - chips were rarely on the menu. The wine and beer was remarkably good for full board plus. The location of the hotel was beautiful in itself, as was the path along the sea to Orebic town. The Orsan is the furthest west of the hotels and the walk to the town and the boat to Korcula was a mile (1.6km). Although a pleasant walk to do, once we'd done it a few times we wished there was an option of public transport. Another highlight of our holiday was a sightseeing and wineries tour of Korcula which we booked in Korcula Town. After a tour of the island in an open top minibus, we visited 3 wineries, tasting a total of 10 wines as well as some liqueurs, olive oil etc! It cost 75 euro each but we felt it was excellent value for a great day out.

We had the privilege of spending our summer holiday in this hotel with our baby and 4-year-old daughter. The location is perfect, offering privacy and a stunning view of the sea and Korčula. The staff were incredibly kind and supportive, especially when our baby had a high fever – something we will never forget. Meanwhile, our older daughter enjoyed every moment with the Aminnes team and their daily activities. A heartfelt thank you for everything – we look forward to returning next year!

We have had 4 family vacations in this hotel so far - in 2021, 2023, 2024 and now in 2025. We had an amazing time. The staff's hospitality is beyond words, the rooms are small but comfortable and cleaned every day so hygiene is at high level, the food is delicious and we gain a few pounds with every stay :) The proximity of the beach and natural shade is priceless for us with small children and of course, there are no words to describe the beauty of the Adriatic sea. We will gladly come back next year!
