Hotel Cavtat

Vinko runs the beauty salon "Lavanda" in the Hotel Cavtat. He is really, really good. We were not staying at Hotel Cavtat, but visiting a restaurant nearby, happened to see the massages being advertised. It was worth the trip to Hotel Cavtat to see Vinko. He identified that I was holding a lot of stress in my shoulders which he really managed to ease. I ended up going to see him twice. Recommended!

Just returned from a 9 night stay at the wonderful Hotel Cavtat. The hotel is spotless with rooms cleaned daily (thank you to the lovely lady who cleaned our rooms so efficiently). Lots of hand sanitiser available throughout the hotel. The best part is most definitely the view of Tiha Bay, simply stunning. We had double superior, sea view rooms located on the 6th floor. These were spacious, light &beautifully decorated with floor to ceiling glass sliding door/windows with breath taking views over the bay. The balconies are tiny but it was still lovely to sit looking at all the super yachts whilst watching the sunset. Bathrooms clean & modern with walk in shower. A mini fridge is included in the price of these rooms. My only negative is the lack of Tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. The pool, whilst small is lovely as it overlooks the bay. Had no problems in getting a sun bed at any time of the day. The pool area did lack a bit of atmosphere. The pontoon area was relaxing (no beach here but walk to the right of the hotel and follow the road round for about 10 mins & you come to Zal beach, big pebbles so would recommend taking beach shoes. Huge inflatable in the sea for those with kids 50 kuna for half hour). We stayed on a B&B basis and found the choice to be plentiful with something to suit all tastes. We enjoyed lunches/dinner/drinks at the hotels bar/restaurant situated by the pontoon on several occasions. We found the food to be very tasty and reasonable. In fact we ate at the number 1 restaurant in Cavtat, “Boheme” which we found to be very average and had better food at the Cenzura (Pizzas, salads, cocktails all delicious) so don’t always go by on what you read! Our best meal was in the main town at “Bougenvila” & wow this restaurant didn’t disappoint, amazing food and flavours and not too bad price wise for the fine dining experience, highly recommend. The pretty main area of Cavtat is a very short stroll away from the Hotel Cavtat with plenty of restaurants (most offer the same menu which gets a bit repetitive). Also recommend taking a stroll around the peninsular and watching the sunset with a beer in the beach bar “Little Star.”Drinks pricier here. No stay in Cavtat would be complete without a visit to the Old City of Dubrovnik. What a truly beautiful and stunning City it is. We took a boat there and back during the day (we purchased our tickets from the hotel reception for 135 kunas per person return) and in the evening we took the number 10 bus (bus stop approx 5 mins walk from the hotel - 25 kunas per person one way) and got an Uber back (approx £25). The City wasn’t too busy due to the current pandemic so for us it was a bonus to have been able to visit without the usual crowds. Thank you Hotel Cavtat for a truly memorable stay. I would rate the hotel as 4 and a half out of 5 if given the option to. Now to quarantine back in the U.K! Oh how we are already missing the view.

A 3 day stay in Hotel Cavtat was most enjoyable; a central location just a short walk from the harbour front and the myriad of bars and restaurants. The pool is a decent size and as I was here for work, a dip at 8am although a little cool was the perfect way to start the day. Stunning views across the bay. One place to certainly return and less than 10 minute taxi ride to Dubrovnik airport.
