The property is great with excellent sea views and convenient coastal walkway to nearby restaurants and bars. Great spa facilities as well with the indoor pool particularly convenient for the cooler days. Breakfast is great and good options for dining. Upgrading to the dinner inclusive package is probably a good option as dining out is very expensive considering what you are actually getting.

Amazing

Lovely hotel(s) right on the water. Lapad is a quiet neighborhood that gives off a tropical vibe. The entire Royal grounds is large and you can walk the water for two miles while passing plenty of restraints to stop and eat. The only grounds I will stay when visiting Dubrovnik

Hotel Royal Ariston is located in a truly idyllic location with beautiful views from anywhere you are, whether it's the restaurant, bar or pool. The rooms are spacious, but the decor could use a bit of a renewal (there were marks on carpet, dents in walls, bathroom door would scrape against the floor when opening) but all very minor things. The amenities were really amazing, a good choice of pools, hot tubs, spas, restaurants & bars either on the resort or within walking distance, though prices were a bit expensive if staying on the resort, even in the off season (October) when we visited.
