"I spent four nights at President Hotel Valamar Collection in Dubrovnik and overall it was an excellent experience that I would gladly recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful city. The magnificent reception area impressed me. The lobby is a huge, elegant hall with breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. The reception is staffed with several service desks and the English-speaking team is always available, professional, friendly and eager to assist. Porters are also available to handle luggage and escort guests to their rooms. My room was spacious, comfortable and featured a large balcony overlooking the sea. Throughout the day, I enjoyed watching sailing boats, yachts and even large cruise ships passing by in the distance. The views are simply mesmerizing. The sunsets from this hotel are absolutely spectacular. Whether viewed from the room balcony or even better from the terrace of the Piano Bar on the sixth floor. I personally took dozens of photographs of the sunsets. Couple of islands face the hotel, creating a stunning backdrop as the sun disappears below the horizon. The buffet breakfast is extremely generous, Transportation is extremely convenient. The hotel has direct access to the beach. Some remarks: A very unpleasant food odor in the corridor leading from the elevators to La Mar Restaurant. Bottled water must be replenished daily to prepare tea and coffee. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing seaside stay in DBV."
