Valamar Lacroma

We stayed here for four nights as part of a two centre tour in Croatia. Our welcome at Reception was very good with smart well turned out staff who were very helpful. Our room certainly didn’t disappoint although we had an inward facing view which was a shame. However, the views from the rear terrace certainly made up for that, with some stunning sunsets to be had. The meals at the hotel were very good with so many choices available. All well cooked and fresh. One little sticking point was that on check in we were provided with a number of small home made tickets to hand in to the waiting staff when you wanted some water with your meals. A waste of resources really, if you want water why not just be able to ask for it instead of messing around with these little tickets. Well, perhaps there is a good reason but I can’t thing of one. A great bus service into the centre of Dubrovnik is just a very short walk away. I’d say that this is a very good place to stay whilst visiting Dubrovnik.

Valamar Laroma Hotel is located on a peninsula looking over the water north of town. It is a good distance from the old city. However public bus # 6 has a stop just up from the hotel and links the hotel with another stop outside Pile Gate of the old city For 12 Kune (= about $ 2). The hotel is massive catering to tour buses. Our walk from our room to the breakfast room seemed to take seven minutes, but the fabulous breakfast spread was worth it The hotel has a large indoor pool and also a large outdoor pool, a steam room, a sauna, and a full spa. Across the hall is a great workout room. It's a great place for a relaxing stay.

Lovely stay at this hotel, friendly staff and fantastic food. Fresh omelettes are delicious. We enjoy walking so no problem there but a little remote for non walkers. Hotel quiet in the evenings but it was October.
