Maistra Select Astarea Hotel

Lovely location with nice walks along the front and water taxis to Cavtat and Dubrovnik available. The pool area and beach were both good and staff very friendly. Great breakfast and standard double nice room on 4 th floor with side sea view. Bar and restaurant on the harbour was lovely and superb entertainment in hotel beach bar on Tuesday night.

Nothing

Loved the room, view, facilities and staff. Wonderful service from Goranna and Jaka in one of the hotel resturants (a short walk away from main hotel)

It was expensive to eat and drink in the hotel bars and restaurants

Pool sauna and outside pool.

Breakfast could be improved

Polite, friendly staff who can speak multiple languages. Nothing too much trouble and very efficient. Newly renovated building and lots of space that makes use of the spectacular views - sea, trees, mountains surround it! Close to the bus stop (2.90 euros each way, per person) to Dubrovnik/Old Town and took about 30mins. Great views on the route. The pool area and beach area are really quick and easy to flow between the two. Hotel is in a really quiet spot, and there is a busier bay about 20mins walk right (as you look at the sea). Great selection of food at breakfast and dinner. Well organised and highly staffed so constantly cleared tables. Catered well for allergies and even prepared a completely different meal when I didn't like the option available, due to my allergy. Room was a good size and comfy bed. Walk-in shower was powerful and at 6ft2 could stand under it comfortably!

The hotel was clearly being renovated and it promised to have a games room and indoor pool and spa area. These were not ready and therefore not open. Very disappointing. Significant lack of shade around the pool and on the beach area immediately outside the hotel. However, lots of umbrellas available with sun loungers. People put their towels on these early but don't use them for hours on end, which is rather frustrating! Lack of water bottle refilling stations, which meant you had to keep asking at the bar. Restaurant area echos very badly and makes it difficult to hear one another at the table - sitting outside was better for this, but many people smoked cigarettes, which is not great for children or those with respiratory conditions.
