Lastovo accommodation from AU$176

Having read the mixed reviews on here, my wife and I were a bit anxious on arriving. Those giving negative reviews for this place need a reality check in my opinion! Example, complaining about the rooms being 'standard' and plain....when staying in a setting like this, you shouldn't be spending much time in your room! I'll admit we have stayed in swankier and more polished places but we were more than satisfied with this resort. Pros: Location is picturesque and quiet, staff are great (especially the guy in the G&T bar), beach is right in front of the pool, the resort is basically the only accomodation of note around (so feels very private), breakfast is a great buffet with lots of choice, water taxi is €3 each way and every half hour until 10pm, large supermarket right across the road, lovely waterside promenade for an evening stroll, lots of amenities, in-pool bar, relaxed vibe Cons: Dinner is a fairly average buffet (recommend getting the water taxi over to Korcula old town for dinner), only bottled water at dinner which you have to buy is a bit stingy (versus tap water dispensers available at breakfast) Recommend getting a taxi from the port when arriving as although it's lovely arriving by boat, reception is at the front of the resort so lugging your cases from the back where the water taxi drops you is effort (taxi was €12). Early June during the week seemed a good time too as it wasn't too busy. There were no charges for loungers either (1 review said there was).

Really tiny room.

Well located close to old town, on the water. Pebble beach next door. Google maps directions are just a bit wonky, but you can see the hotel when the directions dead-end into another defunct hotel, so you are not lost.
