Aminess Grand Azur Hotel

Cannot fault this lovely Hotel...Orebic is picturesque and the locals are lovely. We had a wonderful welcome everywhere we went. We were only allocated 1 pillow each but it was no problem asking for another. When booking make sure you ask for a balcony...you will probably have to pay a supplement otherwise you won't get one. Lovely peaceful hotel, it was even quiet by the pool area. We walked daily into Orebic, lovely walk along the sea front. Sea shoes advisable if you want to swim, very pebbly. A must is to visit Korcula, 2 euros over on the ferry from Orebic. We also did a trip to Dubrovnik...if you don't like crowds maybe it's a miss but definitely worth visiting. Drinks are only free from the dining room until 9pm at night. Staff lovely and extremely helpful. Quite a few steps involved getting to the pool area so just be aware if you have difficulty getting around. We loved it and will return.

Just back from here today and I’m so sad to be back. Croatia was so incredibly beautiful. The hotels location is perfect with the mountain range behind you and the beautiful turquoise water of the Adriatic in front of you. We were welcomed by Toni who was so lovely and kind to my two girls. All the staff are very helpful and work incredibly hard. The hotel is immaculate. Our room was spacious and it’s definitely worth paying extra for a sea view. We were on the first floor so it was lovely to hear the sea & entertainment at night. It wasn’t too loud and it’s quite a relaxing atmosphere There’s a great choice when it comes to food but I’m glad we went half board as there’s some really good pizza restaurants in orebic and across to the islands. Ice cream is quite expensive at the hotel but there are a number of ice cream parlours and supermarkets near by. I would highly recommend taking the passenger ferry over to Korcula, it’s fairly inexpensive and it’s even prettier than Orebic. Fish and Fun snorkelling boat tour was the best excursion The hotel and surrounding area felt very safe. My girls and I had an amazing time. My only regret it not staying longer than 7 days.

Spent one full week here and we loved it, it was great experience. From first moment of checking in to checking out, people working there are really helpful and kind, service is great and in our case we have breakfast and dinner (both great with lot of choices). Just keep in mind, if you're going to Korcula with ferry (without car) do not take Jadrolinija :D otherwise you will have to walk for 35mins to get to the city. Overall it was a good value for the money and we will probably book again in the future. Also they have daily activities planned both for adults and children which is a plus :)

Before we arrived here I was convinced that I would be giving this hotel 5/5 having read the majority of the recent reviews. We stayed here for 11 nights I would say it just scrapes 4/5, 3.5/5 would be a fairer assessment in our view. Of course everybody has different expectations from a holiday and you generally base this on value and experiences. A previous reviewer suggested ‘ you need to get a life’ if you post a poor review. Of course that’s their view, although the aim of Tripadvisor is in the name: to advise future vacationers on what they will experience when they take their trip, the good and the bad. If we all gave good reviews, what would be the point of this web site! So let’s look at the good and the not so good. Pro’s: 1. Views from the hotel are stunning when you look across the Adriatic to the islands. 2. The sea is amazingly clear. 3. The coastal town of Orebic is a short 15 minutes walk along a footpath away. There are plenty of bars to stop off at and enjoy a cooling drink. 4. Korcula the mini Dubrovnik, is a short hop on the passenger ferry and will only cost you 6.10 euros for the return journey. Korcula, is well worth a visit at least once during your stay. 5. The hotel has reasonably good air conditioning throughout. 6. The staff are by far and away the main asset of the hotel. Always pleasant, friendly and generally multilingual. 7. The food is always a very subjective subject. We found the food fine and never struggled to find something to eat. Be aware hot food here is a scarcity. We were on the all inclusive lite package, which we preferred as we we were then free to eat lunch elsewhere, often it should be said this was at the beach bar. Shout outs should go to Kristian and Dima for their great service and friendliness. 8. We went on a day excursion to Dubrovnik and arranged this through the hotel asTUI seemed unable to accommodate us. This was a great trip that included a stop off in Ston and a wine tasting experience. The organiser at the hotel who arranged the trip, Mirna, went out of her way to make sure this happened and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a trip through the hotel. Our driver Mario was a safe and reliable driver, with the usual dry Croatian sense of humour. Con’s 1. Something that hardly get mentioned in reviews is that the hotel although facing the sea, does not have a private beach, subsequently it get swamped by other tourists. During the day the area around the hotel including the small beach is completely taken over by an influx of tourists. It appears that they drive here from other European destinations and set up camp. The upshot of this is: Beach sun beds which are an extra cost are unusable unless you are ok to something akin to being surrounded at the O.K Corral! These non hotel tourists are free to use the beach bar and will be seen sharing a mineral water between large groups so they can access the seating, once ensconced often remain for hours on end. This subsequently reduces

We stayed a week in October. We didn’t know the hotel was closing for winter 3 days after we left. We enjoyed our stay very much and pleased we paid extra for a room with a balcony. The location was amazing. Peaceful at night with lovely views. The food was good though what was meant to be hot was always lukewarm. Wine and beer on tap for lunch and dinner but the coffee machines turned off. As the hotel was closing there were no sun loungers on the beach and no bar by the pool. If you wanted a drink you had to climb stairs to the hotel bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful .

Kitten Plea for Help This is our first review on Trip Advisor and before proceeding to review the hotel itself, which overall was excellent, we would like to post a cry for help for two adorable little kittens who were ‘residents’ at the hotel (close to the restaurant). The kittens were members of the same family and enjoyed playing with one another and any play things given them by hotel guests. It would be a real pity if they were split up as the little tabby was clearly more confident with its brother or sister. The kittens were just about weaned and had started to eat solid food, beef being their favourite apparently, though they were partial to Chorizo, Turkey & Chicken. We asked the hotel staff what was to become of them as the hotel was due to close on Sunday 22nd October, this being the end of the season. There was mention of a member of staff adopting the black / white kitten as it was the more confident of the two. I’m sure though that the little tabby would be an excellent pet once it had become used to people, and clearly, they would both be even happier if they could find a home together. We would have adopted them there but for the impracticalities of importing them into the UK. So, on behalf of the kittens at the Aminess Grand Azur Hotel Orebic, Croatia, please find us a loving home together. Thank you.

Lovely hotel right by the sea. I don’t think you can beat the location. We booked last minute and all expectations exceeded. Very friendly, helpful staff, wide choice of food. If you’re looking for traditional full English and chips with dinner you may be disappointed. I was ecstatic to find a good selection of seafood and meat options and with half board plus wine/beer was included with meals - great value. Lovely pool and plenty to do in the area. Hired a car from the airport which was great value and made good use of it exploring the peninsula and Korcula. Definitely recommend the drive to Lovište and walking the track up to the monastery. Turn left out of the hotel and track is approx 200m on the right.

Fantastic value hotel. We bought the all inclusive light package. The lack of free drinks outside of lunch and dinner was a plus in our view as there was no drunken behaviour around the hotel. Some people have complained about the food. We thought it was very good. Loads of seafood. Yes, the sausages at breakfast are the European type, but there was always 5 or 6 types of ham to choose from, plus cheeses, pastries, any type of egg, fresh fruit, nuts, etc etc. The staff are wonderful. Very calm and always helpful. We had a seaview and balcony. The rooms are small, but we were out all day, so it wasn't an issue. The view is beautiful with the island of Korcula not far away (10 min walk to ferry, €2 each way). My one and only minor criticism is that our bedding wasn't changed once during our week long stay. It could have been our fault as we opted not to have cleaners every other day. We will be back. Croatia is beautiful, especially this area. We met Croatians on holiday there who said they think it's the best stretch of coast.

Fabulous hotel . Food excellent superb staff . Beautiful location I’ll definitely return . Just be careful which Hop on Hop off bus you use expensive and not worth €10 let alone €25 absolute rip off in Dubrovnik. Go to the harbour 5 island boat trip for €25 , excellent value for money .
