Cavtat Hotel Reviews

Firstly, croatia is a very beautiful country with plenty to see and do. Cavtat is a pretty little town with a harbour which attracts some fabulous yachts. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, we found the best to be dalmacija and galija, which are at opposite ends of the promenade. The two biggest let-downs, however were (1) the lack of a proper beach; and (2) the miserable locals! There are no beaches in cavtat or dubrovnik. What the croatians describe as 'beach' is a concrete hardstanding or rocks with 'swimming pool' steps to climb down into the sea. There is no sand or shingle. There are no public swimming pools. I don't know whether the rest of the country is the same, however. The croatians themselves do not appear to like tourists - whether this applies only to british tourists or whether they treat all foreigners in the same way, I don't know. Overall, the weather was glorious, dubrovnik stunning (though crowded, but it was peak season) but unfortunately it's a case of "been there, done that, didn't buy the t-shirt and certainly won't be going back for it!" If beaches don't figure highly on your holiday wish-list, then croatia would be a great place for you - culture galore, gorgeous scenery and great walks. Otherwise, I'd give it a wide berth.

Cavtat great. Hotel poor

Beautiful area, gorgeous little alcoves to sunbathe on and beaches are clean and easily accessbile. Nice walks around the town and good transport to Dubrovnik. Lovely views all around. Nice gifty shops too!

There are several bars and restaurants along by the sea and a few shops. Only one supermarket and a pharmacy. There are not too many walks as there are not many footpaths and the roads are steep. You can only walk round the town and headland.
