Unforgettable Holiday in Dubrovnik with Wellbeing Escapes - thank you Rebecca for your amazing service throughout.
Everything was made convenient and easy and I felt so at ease despite being a solo female traveller. The service provided by the hotel was nothing short of excellent and I would recommend it to absolutely everybody.
It really was up there with my best holidays.

Accommodation was rather mainstream (ie room very ordinary) but the view was spectacular! Treatments good and PT session also. Would have been good to have more yoga sessions. Food on site was not very impressive - I had to send back the meal at one of the restaurants as not cooked properly.....

We couldn't fault the hotel; the staff especially deserve high praise, everyone we met was just delightful, so friendly and courteous, a credit to the hotel! The restaurants and bar on-site were also very good, I was especially impressed at the vegetarian/vegan offerings. Our treatments at the spa were wonderful, I even fell asleep during my facial! We booked a session on the climbing wall, something I've always wanted to do, which was great fun. I did a yoga session too which was great.

Easy and great value, and will certainly book this again.

Lovely hotel and resort and did enjoy my holiday for the most part.
However the Wellbeing Escapes package was not very well coordinated or communicated by the hotel. I had to chase all elements of the holiday from the city tour, spa and transfers. This was a very different experience from other Welbeing Escapes Holidays that I have been on.
I would also recommend that for any future bookings that rooms are allocated to quiet areas of the hotel. My room was directly over the conference room & was disturbed by loud music on the Wednedsay evening & then again on the Friday evening (until 2am) by a pool party. I was then woken up early on the Saturday morning by a early morning call from Reception that I hadn't ordered.

The service was amazing. Professional, warm, friendly, helpful. They even made a birthday cake for me and put it in my room as a surprise. How lovely is that! All the treatments at the spa were of exceptional quality. Products, rooms, beauty therapists - marvellous - couldn't find fault.
