Villa Paradiso 2 is a Zaton Bay hotel situated 10 minutes drive from Old Town and about 25 minutes drive from the Dubrovnik airport. Location: The hotel is located in Zoton overlooking Zoton Bay and the Adriatic. It is accessible by a main road heading to/from Dubrovnik. The hotel is perfectly located for summer tourists not looking to spend much time in the traditional tourist areas of Dubrovnik. There is limited access to public transport and limited pedestrian areas. Rooms: Good size rooms with excellent views of the bay and the Adriatic which are positioned to enjoy sunrise and sunset. The beds are comfortable and extra linen is available in the closets. There is plenty of storage space for clothes, a bar fridge (although no kettles) and toiletries are provided in the bathroom with plenty of towels. The room was clean, light and spacious and there was a balcony with furniture for enjoying the fresh air and view. Food: Breakfast was freshly made (eggs and sausages, with fresh bread, cold meats, cheeses and fruits) and available with coffee and juices. Comfort: As I was visiting in January, the atmosphere was very quiet. There is a bar and cafe which I did not visit. There is also a rooftop pool, which in summer, would be a big attraction given its views. Parking is available. The distance from the Old Town will require either a car or relax use of a taxi or ride-share. Staff were friendly and accommodating. My flight to Dubrovnik was re-directed and I engaged a late night bus trip for 7 hours to get to Dubrovnik. I contacted the hotel to advise them I’d be arriving in the early hours and they were ready for me when I arrived at 5.00am. I was very relieved. Overall: This was a good stay for me with a lot of peace and quiet - but it was winter in a summer resort area. It was good value for money, although I spent some on Ubers getting to places (my fault for not driving on the wrong side of the road!) If a guest is looking for access to Old Town, they would prefer to be a lot closer.

“Ok for one night”

There is a lift from the main road to the hotel. Not good when you are leaving a coach and 48 people have to get themselves and their luggage to reception. The rooms are on levels below reception. Rooms do not have any teas or coffee making facilities. The hot water in the shower is not very hot,… more

There is a lift from the main road to the hotel. Not good when you are leaving a coach and 48 people have to get themselves and their luggage to reception. The rooms are on levels below reception. Rooms do not have any teas or coffee making facilities. The hot water in the shower is not very hot, Wi-Fi is good, where you can connect to it. The food buffet selection is limited. Drinks, as an example - a large beer was just over 5 Euro.

“Noisy night”

We stayed here for our first night during our weeks tour of Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro. The room was fine, and we had a nice sea view. It was quite noisy during the night though, as we could hear loud scraping anytime anybody upstairs moved the furniture, and strangely, they seemed to do that a lot. All night. The evening meal was a buffet, with seafood spaghetti, baked trout, salad, and chips. Our plane was two hours late arriving, and it looked like the food had been sat there waiting for us for two hours. Surely they could have checked the departure and expected arrival times? The spaghetti was still tasty, if a little stewed. We paid £20 pppn to RSD Travel for the evening meals, and one common theme for all the hotels, was that the food wasn't of the quality we expected. We didn't even get a drink included for that price. Breakfast was also a buffet, and we had no problems find things we could eat.
