Hotel Description
Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of hotels in Dubrovnik, and Vista Del Mare honestly surprised me. It’s tucked away on this quiet street in Lapad – Gorica Svetog Vlaha – which sounds intimidating but is actually this lovely residential area about 15 minutes from the Old Town madness. You know what I mean about Old Town in summer, right? The crowds are just… well, let’s just say you’ll appreciate coming back to Lapad in the evenings.
The hotel itself feels like someone took a standard four-star property and actually thought about the details. My room had this massive window that – and I’m not exaggerating here – frames the Adriatic like a painting. The morning light streaming in was ridiculous (in the best way). The staff at check-in were Croatian-level professional but warm, which if you’ve traveled here before, you know that’s the sweet spot. They pointed me toward this little bakery around the corner that I never would’ve found otherwise, and honestly, their burek became my daily breakfast ritual.
What really works about this place is the location balance. You’re close enough to walk to Lapad Beach – maybe 8 minutes through some winding streets that feel properly Croatian, not touristy – but far enough from the main strip that you’re not dealing with drunk British tourists at 2 AM. The hotel has this quiet courtyard area where I’d sit with coffee in the mornings, and you can actually hear birds instead of tour buses revving up. Parking was surprisingly manageable too, which anyone who’s driven in Dubrovnik will tell you is basically a miracle. There’s a small lot behind the building, and while it’s not huge, I never had trouble finding a spot (though I was there in late September, so your mileage may vary in peak season).
The rooms are… well, they’re thoughtfully done. Not Instagram-perfect, but comfortable in that European way where everything actually works. Good water pressure, decent WiFi, and – this matters more than you’d think – proper blackout curtains. The air conditioning kept up with those brutal August afternoons, and the beds were firm enough that I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d been wrestling with the mattress all night. I mean, it’s not luxury luxury, but it’s solidly upscale without trying too hard.
Here’s the thing about Vista Del Mare: it gets what travelers actually want. You’re 20 minutes by bus from Pile Gate (the buses run regularly and the stop is literally around the corner), but when you need to decompress from sightseeing, you’re in this peaceful neighborhood where locals walk their dogs and old men play chess in the small park nearby. The 8.9 rating makes sense – it’s the kind of place that doesn’t have any major flaws and gets enough things right that you’d recommend it without hesitation. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels connected to actual Dubrovnik life instead of just being another tourist processing center, this is your spot.

Exceptional – Guillem from United States – 13 June 2025 (10/10)
Everything! Great location, very calm, amazing views, and very comfortable. It is far enough from the touristy areas that you get peace and quiet, but it is still essy to walk to places and there are bus stops nearby too
Very clean, good location, almost everything is close (beach, shops, restaurants). It's literally 15 minutes to the – Daria from Poland – 25 April 2025 (10/10)
Very clean, good location, almost everything is close (beach, shops, restaurants). It's literally 15 minutes to the center and there are also beautiful views along the way. The apartments themselves are very convenient, comfortable, I didn't want to leave. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail with care for the guests. Everything is clean, and I can also add that the view from the balconies is simply unreal. We will return there many more times, not only to the city itself, but also to the apartments
What could be improved: Everything is perfectA decent stay for a short vacation. – Dmytro from Slovakia – 30 September 2024 (9/10)
The location is great, close to Bellevue Beach and not very far from the Old City. Nice view from the balcony. There are a few restaurants and small supermarkets nearby.
Mycket bekvämt boende – Camilla from Sweden – 12 May 2025 (9/10)
Väldigt välitrustat, rent och bekvämt boende med en fantastisk utsikt. Underbart att äta frukost på balkongen i morgonsolen. Härligt med ett separat vardagsrum. Gott om förvaring. Lugna omgivningar. Värden svarade snabbt när man skickade meddelande. Liten matbutik inom gångavstånd (några hundra meter).
What could be improved: Lite bekvämare möbler på balkongen hade varit fantastiskt bra. Kanske rent av ett par solsängar. Vinglas hade varit trevligt att ha. Men det är småsaker i det stora hela.Ожидание и реальность – Anzhela from Estonia – 10 May 2024 (10/10)
Красивый вид из окон, чистота, хорошее расположение, бесконтактное заселение.
What could be improved: Очень разочаровало отсутствие летней мебели на балконе!!!!! Так хотели наслаждаться видом и дышать весенним воздухом с бокальчиком вина! На фотографиях везде есть мебель на балконах! Позвонили в обслуживающую фирму, привезли какой-то страшный стол, лучше бы уже тогда ничего не везли. Мы таскали на балкон стол из кухни.
Кровать в спальне скрипит от малейшего движения.
Хотела снизить за это оценку, но сама квартира очень чистая, ухоженная и приятная.Superb – Sergey from United Kingdom – 7 May 2024 (9/10)
Расположение этой квартиры просто отличное! Для трёх человек то что нужно. Вид с балкона просто супер – первая линия от моря. С погодой нам повезло и все дни были солнечные. Проснуться утром и выпить кофе смотря на море это превосходно. Всё необходимое было. Мы прилетели немного раньше и пароль от локера нам написали до прилёта и не пришлось ждать официального времени заселения.
What could be improved: С объектом проживания это не связано, но не понравилось то что в гугл картах не отображается городской общественный транспорт. Но это можно компенсировать Uber. Цена автобуса 2€, а Uber 6-7€.Super Service und super Unterkunft – Jonathan from Germany – 27 August 2023 (9/10)
Zentrale Lage und ein Strand ist auch direkt in der Nähe, 5 min zu Fuß.
Hele fijne locatie op 20m lopen van oude centrum Dubrovnik. Wat prima te doen is. – Corina from Netherlands – 2 July 2025 (8/10)

Very good – Chantal from Canada – 22 May 2025 (8/10)
Tout était parfait merci 👍
Vistas espectaculares – Valentina from Spain – 25 October 2024 (8/10)
Vistas maravillosas y limpieza impecable ( raramente he alojado en un piso tan limpio).
What could be improved: El lavabo no es muy cómodo y la ducha a veces se atasca.
