Sea of Eden

Hotel Description

You know what? I was honestly skeptical when I first pulled up to Sea of Eden on Lozica street – I mean, it’s tucked away in this quiet residential area about 15 minutes from Dubrovnik’s Old Town, and from the outside it looks pretty unassuming for a place with a 9.5 rating. But sometimes the best finds are the ones that don’t try too hard to impress you from the street. The moment I walked into the lobby, though, I got it. There’s this immediate sense of calm that hits you – maybe it’s the way the light filters through the windows, or how the staff actually looks up from what they’re doing to greet you (not that rushed hotel smile, but genuine warmth). The check-in was refreshingly smooth, and the woman at reception gave me these insider tips about avoiding the cruise ship crowds in the morning that honestly saved my entire first day.

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both polished and relaxed at the same time. The rooms aren’t huge – this is a 3-star spot, after all – but they’re thoughtfully designed with these little touches that show someone actually cares. The bathroom has this rainfall shower that’s got proper water pressure (you’d be surprised how rare that is in some Croatian hotels), and the bed is legitimately comfortable – not too soft, not too firm. I actually slept better here than I have at some fancy 5-star places. The air conditioning works properly too, which is crucial if you’re visiting during those sweltering July and August months. From my room, I could see bits of the Adriatic through the pine trees, and there’s something really peaceful about waking up to that view without the chaos of being right in the tourist zone.

The location is actually brilliant once you figure it out. Sure, you’re not stumbling distance from Stradun, but that’s honestly a blessing – you get to experience Dubrovnik like a local rather than feeling trapped in a tourist bubble. There’s a reliable bus that runs every 20 minutes to the Old Town, or it’s about a 25-minute walk if you don’t mind the hills (and trust me, there are hills). The neighborhood itself is lovely for evening strolls, and there’s this little konoba about five minutes away where locals eat – the kind of place you’d never find if you stayed in the city center. Parking is included, which is huge if you’re planning to explore the Dalmatian coast, and the staff genuinely knows their stuff about day trips to places like Korčula or the Elafiti Islands. It’s one of those rare finds where the rating actually makes sense – they’re doing all the fundamentals really well without any pretense, and somehow that adds up to something special.

Reviews

• EXCELLENT, I highly recommend it – Ion from Romania – 20 January 2025 (10/10)

  I really liked the property for several reasons: we were warmly welcomed, the host awaited us with a plate of drinks and appetizers, provided us with information about the sights, the superb location on the seashore, the cleanliness of the property and the amenities (from needle and thread, kitchen equipped with everything you need, bathroom with everything) ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay. 😊

  The staff at the accommodation were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were quick to respond to any requests or questions I had, and provided excellent recommendations for dining and activities in the area.
  The location of the accommodation was also perfect, not far from Dubrovnik and many of its attractions and restaurants.

• If you want peace and a break from daily hustle, this is the ideal place. – Małgorzata from Poland – 5 May 2024 (9/10)

  We would like to thank you and confirm that this place is a real paradise on earth! From the first moment we felt at home, and the hospitality and openness of the owners made our holiday unforgettable.
  
  Why we fell in love with this place:
  1. Family atmosphere: We had never before encountered such warm and friendly hosts. They cared for us like family, paying attention to every detail, helping with directions, and providing advice. It was truly exceptional that we could feel so comfortable away from our own home.
  2. Charming garden: The small garden is an absolute gem! Every morning, we woke up surrounded by beautiful flowers and herbs. It’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening relaxation. We cherished every moment spent in the fresh air.
  3. Sea view: Words cannot describe how beautiful the view from the terrace is. We spent hours gazing at the sea. It’s truly a magical place that will remain in our memories forever.
  4. Peace and relaxation: If you’re seeking tranquility, peace, and a break from the daily hustle and bustle, this is the ideal place. The apartment is located away from the city noise, yet close to the beach. It’s a haven for those who crave solitude and moments just for themselves.
  
  Thank you for these unforgettable moments. We will definitely return!
  
  What could be improved: On weekends, there were no buses to the town, but the owners were very helpful and gave us a ride.
