The hype
Travelers universally praise the cleanliness and the breakfast buffet, but many find the drink prices extortionate.
Rixos Premium Dubrovnik
$150-250/ nat
Bestil hvis You want a massive, glossy resort experience with killer sea views and a top-tier spa, and you don't mind a 20-minute walk to the Old Town.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The 'Libertas Beach' platform offers direct, ladder-access swimming in the crystal-clear Adriatic
- Anjana Spa is legitimately world-class, spanning two floors with a serious tea selection
- Breakfast at Turquoise restaurant is a massive spread that actually lives up to the hype
Hurtig oversigt: It’s a hulking 1970s architectural beast that’s been polished into a modern luxury liner, but it feels more like a convention center than an intimate boutique escape.
Anmeldt af @arc.gem_adventures: I honestly didn't want to leave. The breakfast buffet alone is worth the trip – so many healthy options! And waking up to that Adriatic blue every morning? Unbeatable. It feels super high-end but still really relaxed.

Reality check
The 'resort' vibe means noise—expect early morning housekeeping carts and buzzing pool music to bleed into your relaxation time.
- You prioritize a massive, heated indoor pool and spa facilities over historic charm
- You want a guaranteed reliable 5-star standard without quirky 'boutique' surprises
- You love swimming off concrete platforms directly into deep, clean sea water
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and aggressive. They will find you. Generally very thorough.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Marble surfaces are well-maintained, no grout issues reported.
- Maintenance: Renovated in 2020, so everything still feels tight and new. AC is the only weak point.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count, and plentiful. Pool towels are large and fluffy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive (signature scent). Rooms are fresh, no mustiness.

- City tax is roughly €2.65 per person/night and is paid upon arrival, not always in the prepaid rate.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is it really walkable to the Old Town?
Yes, but it's a 15-20 minute walk with some hills and stairs. It's scenic but can be sweaty in August.
Is there a sandy beach?
No. It's a 'concrete beach' (Libertas Beach) with ladders into the sea. Great for swimming, bad for sandcastles.
Is the pool heated?
The indoor pool is heated year-round. The outdoor pool is seasonal and unheated, but refreshing in summer.
Do they allow pets?
No, Rixos Premium Dubrovnik has a strict no-pets policy (service animals excepted).
How much is parking?
Expect to pay around €16 per day for on-site parking, which is actually decent for Dubrovnik.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent. Check your specific rate, but most standard bookings include the buffet.
Insidertips
- ✨
Skip the hotel dinner buffet at least once and walk 10 mins to 'Magellan' for better value seafood.
- ✨
The 'Tea Corner' in the Anjana Spa has over 100 tea varieties—it's free for spa guests and totally underutilized.
- ✨
Use the 'Libertas' bus app to track the #4 bus so you don't wait in the heat.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The casino is the only one in town, which attracts a specific late-night crowd that isn't always hotel guests.
💡The 'Park View' rooms are essentially 'Parking Lot View' rooms—the marketing name is generous.
💡You can actually swim to the 'Bellevue Beach' cave from the hotel pier if you're a strong swimmer.
💡Drink prices at the pool bar are nearly London/NYC levels—bring a water bottle.
💡The hotel was built in 1971 and you can still feel the brutalist architecture beneath the modern veneer.
