DUNATOVI DVORI Heritage Hotel

DUNATOVI DVORI Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely location with a little private beach out front with a beach bar. Lots of positives. Food was lovely. Coffee and free cake is a great deal. Breakfast menu was limited but really tasty. Poached eggs were perfect every time. Staff were nice with good English. Room has lots of thoughtful little touches like a cardboard box to hide the light from the air con display. Hotel common areas were very beautiful. Didn't use the pool or sauna but very nice area. On the down side room was a little small and no balconies so drying clothes etc. was difficult but it's an old building so there is little that could fix that. Lack of kettle is a bit weird as all hot water had to go through the coffee machine and comes out brown with old coffee grounds. Preko is very beautiful and peaceful (in September) and this was a really nice hotel to have as a base. Recommended"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at this apartment on Preko. The Seaviews from the conservatory were incredible. The apartment is a short walk down hill to the main town and the beaches. There is also a large supermarket (Tommy) about a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The owner, Ivo, is a really nice and helpful person, he was always there to advise us and was easily contactable and flexible with check ins (he picked us up from the ferry port). There is also an amazing BBQ area and outside seating area (with Sea views) where we spent a lot of the time. Apartment is comfortable and big enough for us as a family of four (2 adults, 2 children). The Air Con is also very good and did keep the whole apartment at a decent temperature in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again."
