| said: When you arrive at the landing jetty just yards from the Liburna, hotel staff carry your bags in for you which is very welcome since the journey by bus and ferry from Dubrovnik takes around 3 hours 30 minutes. This sounds like an arduous journey, yet the breathtaking views along the coastal road are like taking a free excursion before you arrive. Staff here and throughout Croatia generally don't expect a tip - restaurants usually add a service charge to the bill, but the service is as friendly and courteous as you would find anywhere, and if you do decide to tip you're thanked profusely.
I was lucky to have a room that faces the medieval town across the bay, and the view was one of the finest I've had from any hotel balcony anywhere. Since the water is so calm and the mainland is a little over a kilometre away, together with the densely wooded hillsides you feel more like you're staying in an upmarket resort in the Swiss or Italian lakes. The rooms on the other side overlook the area where buses turn around, but beyond that there is still a fine view of forests and the sea.
The room was comfortable and clean but not luxurious. There is satellite TV and a well-stocked mini-bar that is very reasonably priced - 150 kuna (£1.50) for a beer or glass of wine. The bathroom was clean with a good shower, and although the water is solar-heated, even in October there was plenty of hot water.
The food was adequate, with a self-service buffet at breakfast and waiter service for evening meals which included a choice of starter, main course and dessert. You choose the following day's main course at the end of your meal. It is simple fare – grilled or stewed meats or a vegetarian option usually limited to stuffed peppers. Veggies should note they are not very well catered for – even the vegetable soups contained small pieces of meat. A bar is open all day and closes at 11pm, so you'll need to head into the town if you want to stay up late. Hot drinks are readily available, although the local coffee tended towards bitterness.
Facilities for children are limited – the pool is very small and although the sea is just yards away, the coastline is very rocky with just one or two tiny shingle beaches. It is advisable to buy something to wear on your feet if you venture into the sea as there are sea-urchins amongst the sharp rocks.
Overall, the staff were very welcoming and did all they could to make the stay as pleasurable as possible. The general location couldn't have been better, and is perfect for those who like to watch the sun go down from their balcony with a drink or two. If you're looking for a quiet romantic break, you will be very contented with a stay here.

| said: Good hotel in a great location with beautiful views over to the old town of Korcula. Only a few minutes walk into the old town and with a bus station nearby to enable visits to other parts of the island. There were also water taxis to visit offshore islands and other parts of the island. The biggest drawback was that there was no air conditioning in the rooms, and as the temperatures were over 100 on some days, the nights were impossible without a fan, so we bought one! Apparently air conditioning is not something which any of the hotels on the island have, so there were a number of hot people there! The hotel was very clean, with helpful staff. Breakfast was a buffet, but the evening meal was waiter service with guests chosing the following night's menu the night before. There were plenty of choices, but we felt that a buffet would have been better to cater for different sized appetites. However the salad bar was buffet style, with a good choice.
