Familys in Dubrovnik

The Sun Gardens resort and spa was excellent in every way. Due to its size we did think that it might be rather impersonal but this was certainly not the case. All the staff were so pleasant and helpful and everywhere was immaculate. We stayed in a superior double room which was large and well furnished. The view from our balcony was magnificent with views overlooking the sea and gardens. There are many restaurants and bars and we found the food first class in all of them. It is nice to have such a choice of venue. I think our favourite meal was breakfast. The choice at the buffet was overwhelming- and there was so much of it! There is plenty to do without ever venturing out of the grounds, though we did visit Dubrovnik Old Town on several occasions, the most fascinating place and well worth a visit. We also visited some of the islands. There are several swimming pools including one for adults only and all have an abundance of comfy sun loungers. Children are well catered for too, there are two clubs catering from age three to twelve years old and several small pools for them. There is a sports centre, a climbing wall, tennis courts, squash courts and a very good spa centre with indoor pool. We had a really relaxing holiday and can't wait to return.

Great all inclusive option, food was plentiful and very fresh. Staff were amazing and the mojitos were nicely prepared. Children's entertainment was second to none. We would happily go back

well run hotel, hotel staff very courteous, food good for the bulk catering that has to be done

It is a large hotel but you don't feel crowded by other guests. We had a sea view on the 7th floor which was lovely, very comfortable bed to lie in with the doors open at night listening to the sea. The location is great, beautiful cool sea and fabulous service and good food at the poolside restaurant. And all only a ten minute taxi ride from the airport.

our room was on level 5 and there was no lift, condition of stairwell walls were dirty and scuffed, carpet on level 4 and 5 had green paint spilled, as did our room? two days without loo paper even though our room had been cleaned, lots of sunbeds, although you had to be up with the crows to put a towel on one, as did many many of European guests did. public access road to hotel was blocked of as there was a private party to nearest bar 'Hattricks sports bar'. NO access was given by local doormen and we had to climb over the rocks to gain access to hotel hmmm not good if you have children or have difficulty walking. we were bed and breakfast, it was a huge choice especially the fruit 12 in all.

The location is remote from Dubrovnik but that is what we wanted at the end of a three week holiday. The pool is awesome and the breakfast was great except for the coffe from a vending machine. The staff were great but watch out for the local Casinovas that lurk around the pool playing Costa from Shirley Valentine. Not an honest bunch and their motives are predictable. Lots of French families and pop music by the pool if that is your thing. I preferred the evening they had a live local trio.

Really nice dinner included in the basic rate. Cheerful bar area. Good beach. Lovely pool.

This is a brilliant 3 star hotel. It has great facilities, good staff and decent meals.

We arrived to a very warm welcome from Zadranka and her lovely niece Anna who looked after us extremely well during our stay Everything was clean and fresh, they were terrific hosts. We also got loads of information about where to go and what to do. All in all it was just terrific , they can be highly recommended

Looking at the other hotels by the Ariston, we think we had the best one. Built into the rock terrain in layers. 20 minutes by bus from the amazing Dubrovnik city. Brilliant facilities, food great, staff efficient and friendly, rooms spacious, clean and comfortable. Great bathroom. Wonderful views - gorgeous buffet breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea every morning was memorable. Would highly recommend both the hotel and Croatia - we all loved it!
