Adriatiq Hotel Faraon

Nice place for short vacation (we only stay for 1 night). Small beach is just in front of hotel - so if you need a place for sleep and eat and swim - it's for you. AI beer and wind taps we also big + for us :-)

First time in Croatia but not our last. Landed at 0900 on the 27/09/19 weather was 26 degrees. Walked 100 metres to Sixt rentacar and collected our VW Golf, well renault Kadjar. We then left Dubrovnik and followed the satnav to our hotel. 2 hours of some of the best scenery ever. Reached our hotel which is dated. We got to our room, the beds were lovely, we overlooked the sea. Peaceful, the odd ripple coming from the almost silent ocean. Stayed at the hotel for the evening meal which was nothing to write home about. Being halfboard we felt we had to. Walked along the harbour and had a couple of drinks in a nearby bar. Slept like an angel in the hotel room although there was a 2 foot climb into the shower. Got up the following morning, breakfast was fine, bolied eggs, various sausages, bacon, and other bits, no drame and 8 out of 10 for me. Drove along the coast away from Dubrovnik and found an amazing beach where we stayed for a few hours. Had the last and final meal at the hotel, this meal was a bit drab and made us wish it was a B&B. Went out the following day to Orebic, these roads were twisty and turny, proper drivers roads. We spent the evening here too having changed at the hotel of course and the same roads agsin, sooo much fun although you need 100% attention. Drove back to Orebic the next morning and got the car ferry over to Korcula. Parked in the public multi story at the top of the town and walked down. Historic town with lots to see, wouldn't want to miss this place! Back to the hotel, got changed and back to Orebic for my 50th meal. Found Restoran Amfura (Seperate review☆☆☆☆☆}, had the sea food platter. The following day we travelled to Dubrovnik, stopped off at Ston. There are the old city walls that you can walk, its a hike but hey i'm 50 and i did it. Went on to Dubrovnik and used another multi storey at the top and walked down, sooooo busy but pretty amazing. Did the game of thrones 2 hour walking tour, more steps.....went back to Ston and had dinner there as Dubrovnik is pretty expensive. Didn't back to the hotel until 10 pm, hardly anyone appears to drive in the dark. Then today check out at 10am although the lady on reception has let us keep the key so we can shower after we spend the day on the beach. Do's: get a car, go to Orebic and Korcula, visit Ston if just for the food. Dubrovnik is also a must. Don'ts: do all inclusive unless you want to sit in gods waiting room. Spend every day in Dubrovnik the sights are everywhere and the roads amazing.

This is a classic 3 star hotel, but built into the side of a mountain and right on top of the access road and beach. Thus, real problems finding anywhere to park less than 400 meters away. Plus, the place has no lift, just lots and lots of stairs, which became a bit tiring day in and day out. Otherwise the staff and food were adequate, rooms clean, with a refreshing breeze off the sea that required no air conditioning throught our stay.
