DUNATOVI DVORI Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for a week, at this truly excellent boutique hotel. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and attentive. The dining was excellent, both with the included breakfast and also for evening dining, especially if you want an authentic and locally-sourced Croatian dining experience. There is a small private swimming pool; but even better is the public swimming in the sea literally right across the single-lane street, along with the beach bar also operated by the hotel. Overall it's not just a place to sleep; it's more like a high-end summer resort."
