Hotel Uvala

A lovely hotel. Rooms were clean and had everything you need. Dressing gown and slippers provided. A safe and a small fridge were available. The balcony was a little disappointing as it felt enclosed. Having said that, the views over the bay were fantastic! The food was great. Good variation of evening meals. I especially liked the bbq and taste of Croatia nights and appreciated the offer of a complimentary drink with the meal. Meal time drinks ( including water) were payable as extras. We put these on a tab and paid for them at the end of the holiday. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They could not do enough for you. The housekeeping staff were always smiling and spoke to us daily! The pool area is at the front of the hotel overlooking the sea. There is a little noise from the road in front and some building work on a new hotel next door. This did not affect us though. There are a small number of sun beds and I was concerned that it would be a fight to get one but we never had a problem whatever time of day we went down. Towels were provided. The spa and indoor pool were clean. We were allowed to use the spa shower facilities on our last day once we had checked out of our room allowing us to swim before leaving. Lunch can be purchased and eaten either in the outdoor restaurant area, or it can be bought to you by the pool. The same with drinks. The bus to Dubrovnik stops right outside the hotel. It is so easy to use. We purchased a 7 day Dubrovnik pass. It certainly paid for itself, giving us access to the walls walk, a number of museums, monastery, fort, bus fares and a discount on the ferry to Locrum island. Well worth the money. There was no entertainment at the hotel but it was a 2 minute walk into Lapad where there were loads of bars and restaurants, some of which had live music. Make sure you wander along to the cave bar - a unique experience! The access to a pebbly beach is just across the road. Perfect for a dip in the sea to cool off! It was extremely hot in August. Overall we had an amazing holiday. We will be back.

Hotel built in 2003 but appears almost new throughout. Our room (with sea view) was up to the 4-star mark. Staff all really pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was always very good. The evening meal (buffet) less so but OK. Pools always clean. Excellent location, five minutes walk to seafront and Lapad centre; bus stop to Old Town right outside hotel.

We loved our 10 night stay at Hotel Uvala. The staff were so friendly, kind and helpful. The food was fresh, delicious and more-ish. The view of Lapad bay was beautiful and nightly sunset was amazing. Thank you Hotel Uvala 🥰
