Great TR and photos! We also stayed in Cottage 38 last year, and your experience was similar to the one we had there.

It's a unique property in a wonderful setting, but it's very pricey.

Service is not on the level of SE Asian Amans, that's for sure..... They really do try hard, but employees there were much younger and their lack of service polish made it evident that it was a temporary Summer job for many.

Food is only so-so by Europe standards, and variety is lacking such that you'll run out of new things to try after a few days. We had a conversation with the chef, and he lamented over the fact that he only had access to locally-sourced produce (and not from Croatia, for instance), making his job incredibly challenging.

Still, I think it's worth visiting once, especially if you live in Europe and combine the visit with other places in the region (Dubrovnik, Bay of Kotor, Split, Trogir, Mostar, etc.) Just be sure to save your pretty pennies before going.
