How are the rooms?
The deluxe room was huge, even the standard rooms are quite spacious. Big balcony overlooking the Adriatic sea with an amazing view. Rooms feel fresh and were well equipped.
What was good and what was bad?
Good: great service and the resort itself was very beautiful. wide range of activities offered on site
Bad: there was no running water on our last night and morning due to some problems with the supply. While it didn't ruin our holiday because we were leaving soon anyway, other guests might not have been too happy - the staff didn't give any timeline when it would be resolved.
Bad: overpriced restaurants, but the nearby town of Zaton had many nice cheaper restaurants
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Used 70,000 Gold Points/night and felt it was good value. You get a lot included on the resort with 3 pools, beach, spa, good breakfast buffet, very beautiful location (although 20 min drive away from Dubrovnik) and very professional and friendly staff.
Overall I liked this hotel slightly better than when I spent the same amount of points at the snobbish (and undoubtedly very good) May Fair in London.
