Hotel Reviews
Hotel Neptun Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik

If you are looking for an over the top resort, this is it.

Authenticity & Character
Big, resort style feel. Not friendly and warm like every other place we stayed in Croatia.
Location
3.5 mile walk into the old town and far from any local shops or restaurants.
Staff
Unfriendly and boarder line rude. Our key did not work multiple times and we continued to have it replaced. They dismissed our concerns and said it was because we put it next to our cell phone (we didn’t.) The ATM in their lobby stole €50 from us and they were unhelpful. They did not greet us or smile and seemed constantly annoyed if we had questions.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very clean and full of anything you could possibly need. You can certainly find anything your heart desires at the breakfast, as well.

Sarah was great to work with in planning our family trip to Croatia! I usually plan my own trips so it was different for me to use a trip planner. Sarah was extremely responsive throughout the entire experience including when we were in touch with her once we were on the ground.

We enjoyed the sampling of cities — Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik — that gave us a taste of what Croatia was all about. Hvar was our family’s personal favorite. Through our interactions with our bike tour guide and boat excursion skipper we got a sense of the local culture and pride in the island.

Sure in retrospect there were a few things I would do differently, but we had a good first experience with Kimkim and I know how to better communicate our interests the next time.

Room was spacious and front desk staff was nice but hotel was a bit far from the old city for our liking. It was closer to some other restaurants by the marina and was walkable to sunset beach but it was too far to go back and forth to the old city multiple times in a day. We had a power outage out last night but the staff worked quickly to get the generator back up and running.

The guides we had for touring were incredible, so knowledgeable and very helpful. ( Sorry, I will not attempt to type their names, because I know the spelling would be way off) The hotels that Sarah made reservations for us were beautiful, and the staff at all of the hotels were amazing. Nick at Hotel Giordanno was very gracious and kind during our stay, the ladies at Irini Luxury Rooms were very helpful during our stay in Split. We had a tremendous time on this "bucket list" trip. We wanted to go to Croatia as my paternal grandparents immigrated from this country, it was very moving to go to Samobor and find where my Dad's roots began. Croatia is a beautiful country and all of the people that we met along the way were very welcoming. We are hoping to return one day with our children. Sarah, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this trip a dream come true.

Our recent honeymoon in Croatia, customized by Sarah and Ivan from the kimkim travel group, was an absolute dream come true! Sarah and Ivan were easily reachable and communicated with us throughout the entire trip, ensuring seamless transitions between accommodations and making sure our trip was smooth and easy. From the moment we landed in Dubrovnik to our final day in Split, every detail was meticulously planned, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and culture of this stunning country.

Our journey began in the enchanting city of Dubrovnik. The Hotel Bellevue lived up to its 5-star rating, offering breathtaking sea views and impeccable service. Immediately upon check-in, we went downstairs to the beautiful local beach conveniently located downstairs and accessible by a hotel elevator that takes you directly to the entrance of the beach. The hotel was also walking distance to the old town where we could tour the city walls at night and immerse ourselves in Dubrovnik’s rich history as we walked the 2km stretch. The sunset kayaking excursion around the old town was a magical experience we'll never forget.

The day trip to Cavtat was a delightful surprise. The local farm that we visited in this charming coastal town was truly an unforgettable experience. The authentic Croatian meal we prepared alongside the farm’s owner Jadra was a feast for the senses - the flavors were incredible, and the hospitality was heartwarming.

In Hvar, the Amfora Grand Beach Resort provided the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. The private island discovery tour was a highlight, with our knowledgeable guide J.J. sharing fascinating insights about Hvar’s history and culture. The boating excursion to the Pakleni Islands and Brač was simply spectacular - crystal clear waters, secluded bays, and the freedom to explore at our own pace.

Split captivated us with its ancient charm. The cooking class was an absolute delight - shopping at the local market and then creating traditional dishes under the guidance of our chef was both fun and educational. Our guide for exploring Diocletian’s Palace was exceptional, bringing the ancient stones to life with engaging stories and historical context.

Throughout our trip, the guides provided by kimkim were outstanding. Their passion for their regions shone through in every interaction, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had unforgettable experiences.
