Wow, great review - thank you! I stayed at Rixos Premium Göcek in Turkey a few months ago and from your pictures it looks like Dubrovnik can definitely compete. Back in March this year we stayed at Hilton Dubrovnik in part because that hotel is getting great reviews and because Rixos was not open (unlike Hilton which is open 12 months per year). We had a great stay at Hilton including a suite upgrade and executive lounge access which was fine, but I think the rooms at Rixos look even better and the views are several notches above as well. The only advantage of Hilton would be that you can walk to the Old Town from there and have access to lots of great restaurants. I might try Rixos next time instead of returning to Hilton even though we did not have much to complain there.
