Sun Gardens Dubrovnik

Just returned from our third visit in two years. We were greeted with a warm reception at check in, even though they didn’t know we’d been before. We booked a room on the Club floor again and enjoyed the use of the bar on the top floor. Viridiana recognised us from earlier this year, and was very welcoming. The breakfast is superb with an amazing choice and served by a team of wonderful ladies. The hotel and grounds are immaculately clean with amazing facilities, including the three large pools. The view over the Adriatic is spectacular, and we enjoyed watching the boats sailing past. We ate at the resort each night and found La Pasta to be reasonably priced, with a good selection of dishes. Cilantro and The Butchers Grill were also very good.The staff at all the restaurants were very friendly. My only criticism is that there could be more reasonably priced snacks at lunchtime, toasties/sandwiches? Not everyone wants a burger at lunchtime, and they were expensive too. The shop didn’t have any either and even a packet of crisps was pricey. Despite this we will be returning soon.

Very nice experience on the rooftop

This is a lovely hotel with great facilities, the only downsides are the location and the prices. The first wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t for the second. There is a shuttle bus to Dubrovnik that would be perfect for visiting the old town, but it’s €10 per person, each way meaning our family of 5 would have been paying €100 each time we visited. The facilities on site are great and the staff are very helpful, but the prices in the restaurants and hotel shop are higher than old town Dubrovnik and that feels too much given the charms of the old town compared to the hotel. We had a lovely time, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone not concerned about the above.

A beautiful resort hotel with everything you need in one spot! Restaurants, bars, pools, a beautiful private beach, a marina, even a small but well-equipped grocery store! Close enough to Dubrovnik to pop in and out, but away from the crowds. It was peaceful, calm and beautiful! We used the hotel shuttle bus to get to Dubrovnik, as well as a taxi from the taxi stand outside the hotel (which was on the pricey side), and Ubers (which were about €20). We would take the hotel shuttle bus to the city and return using Uber. If I could make any suggestion, it would be to make the shuttle bus depart every hour. But, the current schedule worked well enough! The rooms are beautiful, as well! Spacious, clean and super comfortable. We loved the glass-walled shower/bath & separate toilet. The balconies are big and include two sun beds and a small table with 2 chairs. The hotel itself was beautiful. We are at 3 of the restaurants and the food was amazing!! So fresh and just delicious! We also frequented the gelato shop! Tip: bring water shoes. Not just for the hotel’s pebble beach, but for any swimming in and around Dubrovnik! I read that tip somewhere beforehand and we were sooooo glad to have brought them with us!

A modern, extensive and in general well-equipped resort. However, not a resort for older or infirm people. It’s located on a hillside. So most visits to the bars, pools and restaurants involve extensive outside flights of steps. And, with very few exceptions, there are no handrails. So as the ground falls away on both sides, there’s nothing to hold on to. For a modern five star resort in an EU country, this is very surprising. In the main hotel, there are of course lifts. But not in most residences. Our flat was really nicely equipped. But it was on an upper floor and there was no lift. So to get to it, you had to climb 26 large outside steps. And there were no handrails. We complained about this, but nothing was done. Our flat featured a large balcony/terrace. But it was unusable due to the lack of shade. We asked for parasols but were told that was not possible. The site includes three lovely pools. But two of them do not include any handrails to get in or out of them. So again, not good for those needing a little support. Overall, a disappointing experience. If we had known all this before, we would not have booked. It’s puzzling because, for a resort of this size and value, it would cost so little to deal with these issues. But, until they do, I could not recommend it to people who need a little support.
