What guests think

At Royal Ariston Hotel, guests consistently praise the dramatic Adriatic views from modern, comfortable rooms, the extensive resort facilities including several pools and a spa, and the peaceful seafront setting with easy bus connections to Dubrovnik’s Old Town.

Staff are generally friendly and helpful. Breakfast is widely enjoyed, though some report crowding and lukewarm hot items, while opinions on dinner or half board range from excellent variety to disappointing quality. Common cautions include rocky sea access instead of a sandy beach, early sunbed reservations by guests, limited complimentary water, and occasional lapses in reception responsiveness or housekeeping. Expect a scenic, resort-style stay focused on relaxation by the sea.

This hotel is very clean, rooms are luxurious and comfortable. We had a sea view room which was very scenic. At dinner you can see the sunset. We used the indoor pool and sauna frequently. From the back of hotel you have a pretty promenade for strolling at any point with connecting hotels and bars to dine at whilst overlooking the sea. I will definitely go back there again and stay at this hotel!!

A lovely hotel with very friendly staff who were very attentive. The beach area was lovely to get a decent breeze where as the higher pools were hotter. Easy to get taxi’s into town, or walking via the promenade into Lapad was great. An excellent range of restaurants at the hotel and locally. Would go again

Great hotel in peaceful location. A 10 minute bus or taxi ride to Dubrovnik old town - definitely not walkable. Facilities at the hotel were very good with a number of pools and easy access to a cordoned off area for wild water swimming. There is a lovely easy coastal walk along a purpose built path with great views to Lapad where there are restaurants and shops. Hotel would benefit from having some water stations given the heat.

Fabulous hotel. Part of a network so you can use all the facilities of the network (think all inclusive without the food). There are 5+ pools, including a rooftop 18+ bar with infinity pool that is spectacular for sunsets. During our trip it wasnt very busy at all.

The property is great with excellent sea views and convenient coastal walkway to nearby restaurants and bars. Great spa facilities as well with the indoor pool particularly convenient for the cooler days. Breakfast is great and good options for dining. Upgrading to the dinner inclusive package is probably a good option as dining out is very expensive considering what you are actually getting.

The room was spacious and clean with a wonderful view of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a lovely quiet area just a 20 minute bus ride to the old town. There were also plenty of outdoor pool options, although the weather prevented us trying them all. The breakfast buffet was not so great. Although there was a good selection of food on offer, the hot options were actually cold. The buffet area was also not big enough to accomodate the amount of guests, especially around the breakfast cereal, milk and tea and coffee machines. Overall though, my friend and I had a wonderful stay.

Pros: Food: On the day we checked in, staff were told we had halal food and they kindly swapped our half board to the only restaurant that did halal. We were grateful. Views: We had amazing views from our balcony and our room was well sized. Cons - Cleanliness: Room wasn’t cleaned even once. No one even tried. We tried calling reception but could never get through. Thankfully the cleaning lady would leave behind the trolley for new towels etc. and we managed to get some clean towels. ViP access: late checkout was hard won and for a couple of hours and only because I knew the Ts and Cs. They insisted we pay 25 euros per hour after that despite there being room. They gave a bottle of wine but as Muslims there was no alternative. Would have been nice to receive something else - so just returned it.

Luxury Sea View suite was large and spacious. However we were offered a room at the lowest floor where the sea view was obstructed by trees which was rather disappointing. Free parking is great and bus service to Old Town is frequent and very convenient. We also felt that overall the front desk staff could have been warmer and friendlier. Housekeeping also did not refresh the room properly the stay on the second day. The bell boys however were very helpful and prompt in their service of dropping and picking up the luggage.

Hotel Royal Ariston exceeded our expectations. We had an overnight flight and checked in early with no issue. Our room on the fifth floor overlooking the sea was lovely and well appointed. Housekeeping was prompt. Breakfast was a tad hectic as the restaurant serves all of the sister hotels but if you arrive early it was okay. Only complaint were the coffee machines which resulted in lines and they were often out of service. A part from that, the food was good. We had very nice cocktails and nibbles at one of the bars. It was a great stay!

The hotel was wonderful and situated in a great location. The bus stop was just a minute's walk from the hotel and took 10 mins to take you into the Old Town for 2 Euro's. You could also walk along the coastal route (Promenade) from the hotel (20 Min) to reach the restaurants and bars, worth a walk in the evening. Very safe at night. Worth a visit to the cave bar, about 10 mins into your walk.

We read mixed reviews about the catering for half board. We found the choice to be okay, but not exceptional, and assuming you avoid the obvious peak times, then the service was fine. At times, we felt the staff were overly keep to clear the tables, but never to the point where we felt too rushed to say anything. Just one to watch, if you want seconds :-)
