Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

If you love reading a book and being able to jump in the sea without any pescy sand, this is your dream hotel. Breakfast 10/10. We are vegan and they were very accommodating and polite at all times. Staff are professional and respectful. Had buffet off menu due to covid. Lifeguards very helpful with helping with parasols and towels. Walk to the old town in 5mins. Views are stunning. Room was huge and clean. Generally on a vegan note, Dubrovnik not as good as Split for options (which has loads!) but don't let that put you off, amazing little city.

We arrived at the hotel Excelsior with a transfer organised by the hotel which was easy and efficient in a spacious car. The lobby is lovely and has panoramic views over the beach and across to Dubrovnik old towns, which make a great first impression. We booked a room with a terrace in Villa Odak, which we were worried would be too small after reading some other reviews, but on arrival we were given one of the larger double rooms at the end of the corridor which made a week with a 5 month old baby much easier. There was a cot already waiting for us in there which was comfortable and the hotel were very accommodating about any additional things we needed for the baby. The terraces in the rooms are nice but depending on which end you are, can be very close to the breakfast restaurant so don???t offer much privacy. Breakfast was a little basic. The a la carte menu had quite a few options but anything beyond standard items like toast and eggs tended to be lacking in flavour and/or stale. The service was very friendly though and the views from the restaurant very nice. The indoor pool and beach area are nice, with good service and food and drink options outside. The indoor pool was generally quieter when we were there and provides a welcome break from the sun. The spa is reasonably priced and the massage was good but not amazing. One of the best things about this hotel is the location - 10 minutes walk into the old town which makes eating out in the evenings very easy. There are shops and supermarkets close by with plenty of options including good quality baby food if you need it. Overall a good stay, we would visit this hotel again.
