So far we have been having a fabulous time at Valamar Lacroma Hotel. We booked it two weeks ago, a last minute holiday with my mum and 7 year old daughter.
The superior room has been perfect for us (despite the lower floor not having too much of a view, we can shade better on our larger balcony) the staff have all been incredibly friendly and attentive (especially Angelika, who we frequently see at our meal and recommends lovely wine)
The food has always been delicious, visiting the President Hotels beach is a treat, the indoor and outdoor pool is lovely to spend time in.
We read online about people complaining how the dining area is cool. I get that its fresh, but we find with some mosquito repellent on, its so much nicer to sit outside and enjoy the sunsets and scenery.
So far cannot fault the hotel, definitely worth staying while in Croatia if you want to be close, but not directly in Dubrovnik
