The hype
The rooftop pool and ocean views are spectacular, and the rooms are spacious and clean.
Royal Blue Hotel
$200-400 / nit
Reserva-ho si You want a sprawling, resort-style escape with epic Adriatic views and an adults-only rooftop pool, far from the suffocating crowds of the Old Town.
Per Què Agrada Tant
- The adults-only rooftop infinity pool
- Massive balconies with unobstructed sea views
- Access to eight pools across the massive Royal Resort complex
Vista ràpida: It delivers on the views and the pools, but the on-site food is aggressively mediocre and you're a 20-minute bus ride from the historic center.
Revisat per @wheres.kam: My stay at the Royal Blue Hotel was pure magic. Waking up, pulling back the curtains, and seeing the Adriatic Sea right from my bed was unreal. I spent hours at the rooftop infinity pool and loved the crystal-clear water at the rocky beach. Highly recommend for a romantic trip!

Reality check
The massive four-hotel complex can feel like a factory, and the restaurants are overpriced for the quality.
- You want to spend your days lounging by a pool with a cocktail
- You prefer quiet, resort-heavy neighborhoods over city centers
- You're traveling without kids and want an adults-only sanctuary
Neteja i Manteniment
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough and reliable, though a few guests report missed spots during the chaotic peak summer months.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and mostly spotless, but there are isolated reports of minor mildew in the shower corners.
- Maintenance: The rooms are well-kept, but the communal hallways have worn carpets and dated furniture that need an overhaul.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-grade 300 thread-count linens and plush towels that feel genuinely 5-star.
- Odors & scents: Rooms smell fresh, but multiple guests have complained about a lingering musty smell in the carpeted hallways.
