This was our first time staying at The Royal Blue and we weren’t disappointed. We stayed at a neighbouring hotel last year so knew we liked the area but the hotel we stayed in was tired so wanted to try somewhere new. Check in was very smooth and although we arrived early our room was ready. The rooms were a great size with a lovely big balcony and beautiful sea views (we chose a sea view room) which I would recommend. Rooms are well appointed and I found the bed and pillows to be very comfortable which is a must with my bad back. The rooms had an iron, iron board, full length mirror, hairdryer, l’octaine shampoo, conditioner and shower gel and everything else you would expect Hotel is absolutely spotless with loads of pool areas, although the hotel was busy we never struggled to find a lounger. Staff could not be nicer, very friendly and so helpful especially Petra at breakfast she was lovely. My only complaint would be about the beach bar which was called “on the rocks” although staff were lovely there weren’t enough of them and it seemed a bit slow at times to get service. This didn’t bother us but we did see a few annoyed customers. Overall I would definitely recommend. Old Dubrovnik is about 10 minutes away in an uber which would cost roughly 8 euros or you can get the number 6 bus which is about 5 euro return. Walkway into lapad is lovely and the cave bar is worth a visit.

“FABULOUS HOTEL”

We booked a 4 night stay at the Royal Blue Dubrovnik. The room was absolutely fantastic, very spacious with loads of storage, 3 large sets of drawers and a large mirrored wardrobe. Also had tea/coffee making facilities and a safe. The king size bed is the best bed I’ve ever slept in and of course fantastic high thread count bedding, it was amazing!!! Great size balcony with nice furniture and a stunning pool and sea view. Food was half board and was lovely. One of us is gluten free and if you let the restaurant manager know he arranges for the chef to come out and discuss your requirements, he even made a lovely pasta dish for us !!! Staff at breakfast are great (Petra) was very nice and friendly and helpful. Pools are well maintained and clean with plenty of sun beds and staff very helpful if you require your bed moving or need an umbrella or towel. Spa offers affordable treatments as well as indoor pool, Steam room and sauna. Hotel is quiet on an evening, probably because there is a stunning promenade that runs up to Lapad with amazing views and great bars and restaurants. The hotel is in a fantastic location and the bus stop just over the road that takes you to the old Town every 15 mins, The only negative I have is that on check out day the spa changing room is very small and nowhere to hang clothes, very difficult when there is a few people in there at the same time. Overall a FANTASTIC HOTEL !!! That I would highly recommend

Amazing week of relaxation. Hotel was amazing. Room lovely. View of sunset stunning. Staff attentive. Food and drinks delicious. Only downside was poor facilities after checking out - told we could use Spa to shower and change before flying but there was no privacy. Would be better if a room was available instead. That would make it truly a five star offer and an absolutely perfect stay.

I have just reteurned from a very disapointing stay at this Hotel. It was a Holiday booked to celebrte my significant Birthday. My Friends e-mailed the Management to point this out, and ask for two adjacent rooms. Management replied that they would do this subject to circumstances. They did not do very well ! We were on different floors and some distance apart. Although we asked at Reception to move 3 days in a row it was stated that this was not possible. All in all we got the feeling that the Reception Staff did not care, indeed the overall feeling about this Hotel that there is too much emphasis on trying to sell you one of the many Boat trips on offer. I would add that the Cleaning and Bar Staff were brilliant. Yes this appears to be a 5* Hotel the Reception area is beautiful with Sea views. Rooms are of High quality. But administration is lacking. Be aware of 2 areas of personal danger. Bath / Shower, we found that the Bath is very high with a slippery surfce. I fell and caused significant injury to my leg. I had to recieve First Aid treatment from the Reception Staff. Another danger area is by the Sky Pool and Bar. We witnessed several people get out of the pool and walk along the slippery surface of the Bar area and slide, only just regaining their balance. Also be careful as you walk in the Road outside the Hotel, a very congested car Park with Coaches, Lorries and Taxis and other trffic trying to avoid the Parked cars. Shurly a larger off road parking area could be provided. What is there is a danger to guests. As others have noted the food provided is quite expensive and whilst there is a reasonaable choice (as long as you like fish Octopus, Squid etc) what we felt we could select became quite repatative. Breakfast Buffet, a free for all sometimes difficult to get to the food. Neaby facilities. Its a 20 minute walk to the nearest Shop or Restaraunt. I would add that I have stayed in many Hotels all over the World, never have I been in a Holel so devoid of printed information for Guests. there is no written information available. You can watch the TV Video but will only be told about the personal services they can sell you or Boat trips. In short this could be an exceedingly good Hotel should some of these points are sorted.
