 The Villa I stayed in. by Callavetta
Comprised of the main building, several levels working their way down toward the sea, and 4 villas, the public areas are beautiful and every turn exposes a glorious view of islands, coastline, or the old town of Dubrovnik.
I had a seaside room in one of the Villas, across the road from the main building. From my tile balcony (complete with very comfy patio furniture) I had a fantastic view of the entire coastline and the old city. The room itself had a splendidly comfortable king bed, with duvet covers, soft sheets, and every amenity you could ask for. Beautiful maple furnishings rounded out the room. There was a large TV with many cable channels, and air conditioning! (It was near 100 degrees in Dubrovnik while I was there).
The large tile bathroom had an abundance of plush towels and wash clothes (!), was brightly lit, and provided a makeup mirror and hair dryer. I never snag the shampoo and conditioners at hotels but this was the exception as the products smelled so heavenly.
I showed up at Grand Villa Argentina without reservations! But the staff was so helful and wonderful to me my entire stay. I was able to get a sea view room, with king bed and beautiful balcony for only 127 euro per night. This included the best breakfast buffet I've ever seen in Europe.

I've wanted to go to Croatia for years and when looking at Hotel options this was the one I always chose (you see, I plan holidays all the time and get fun from the planning, whether they come off or not). I was therefore thrilled when I got a chance to come here on business and that the client chose this hotel for our group.
In many ways it exceeded my expectations, but in others it rather let me down.
The main lobby is opulent and as you enter you feel a little thrill at the exceptional view through floor to ceiling windows over the sea and the islands. Checkin was fast and pleasant and we were in our rooms within five minutes. The champagne that I had asked for several weeks before was right there chilling and ready - I was happy that they had remembered.
The room was beautiful, decorated in Italian style with aged cream furniture and three lovely brightly coloured original paintings on the wall. Whilst the room was well furnished, it was rather tight on wardrobe space and very tight on size. I meant to ask if there were bigger rooms in the hotel but I was having such a lovely time that I forgot!
We were on the fifth floor and our spacious balcony commanded a spectacular view, equal to the view from the reception area. For the best views, ask for a room on the fifth to seventh floors as tall trees and foliage block much of the view on lower floors.
Our chrome and gold bathroom was gorgeous, toiletries and towels plentiful. We also had plush fluffy robes and slippers.
Cocktails are lovely but not cheap and are served at the bar at reception and on the fourth floor.
Only the main restaurant was open during our stay as it was low season. While breakfast was fine, lunch and dinner were from the one menu and the food was disappointing. This will deserve a seperate review.
For me the best thing about this hotel was the large indoor pool and jacuzzi. We were staying here in the middle of a very cold and wet Spring so once we had explored the old town several times we were delighted to be able to relax here. At times we were the only people using the pool. The views from here are also amazing, and the doors open out onto the gardens in finer weather.
There is also an outdoor pool, but it's definitely not for out of season use:-)
The views here are also to be highly praised. If you look from your balcony to the right you have a wonderful view over the old town. Check it out at sunset. Looking to the left there is a view of islands, blue sea, red roofed townland, and green trees. A|ll around you to the front it the sea and yet more islands. Breathtaking no matter what the weather.
