The location and room were fantastic Staff were all extremely friendly, acommodating and helpful. We’d chosen to walk here from the ferry on the other side of the island, so the relaxed checkin with a small glass of local sparkling wine was very welcome and set the tone for our 2 nights here. We were able to check-in early which was very much appreciated. The room was spotlessly clean. The wow factor was that it overlooked the sea and we could hear the water at night - very relaxing. After reading other reviews we brought our own tea so that we could enjoy a cuppa before breakfast on our balcony. I loved the small touches to make our stay so enjoyable- our bed had been made, bin emptied and the floor mopped etc while were at breakfast. We used the hotel Kayaks to see the Blue Caves and lighthouse and swam in the little bay near the hotel. We also spent a day walking around the beautiful, peaceful island with its stunning views of the Adriatic from the pine tree forest and so much different wild flora to appreciate. Thoroughly recommend. Wish we’d stayed longer.

Everything was good

Amazing stay at Kalamota, such a relaxing and calming location. We stayed for 4 nights and this was a perfect amount of time to unwind. As other reviewers say, this is a relatively remote location with not much alternative options available for say eating and drinking. Main port is 20 mins walk away which we did a couple of times and enjoyed it. Food, drink and service at Kalamota is exceptional, so other than the expense there is no reason to go anywhere else. No shops on offer other than small shop at the port with very limited selection, so bring with you from the mainland if needed. Overall, we had a superb stay, left very relaxed and ready for our next stop. Very highly recommend.

Nothing

Kalamota Beach House is one of the most magical places I have ever stayed at - and I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. The island really is a small Adriatic paradise - the area called Placet, above the famous blue cave, is one of the Most beautiful stretches of Mediterranean coastlines I have ever seen. The boutique hotel (10 rooms) is located in a tiny and magical village/port called Gornje Celo. There are maybe 20 houses and a small chapel, the hotel, and lovely sandy beach, a taverna serving amazing food and a bar. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the food is outstanding - as is the wine - and the service is wonderful. One person in particular made our stay even more unforgettable: delightful Sinisa. A lovely, lovely man who o hope to see again soon.

The location is really great to get a rest from the busy life of Dubrovnik, small cove with village vibes. There are regular boats from Dubrovnik to reach easily the hotel and honnestly the walk towards the other side of the island is just so cute. Our appartment had a beautiful view on the sea with a super large terrasse to enjoy a little bit of shade, recently renovated, airco, super comfortable beds and at night...no noise, just the stars!

The disadavantages of a remote place :-): There are not so many boats and one need to count 7-8 EUR per trip and 1h to reach Dubrovnik old town. We could not really stay late in Dubrovnik (unless getting the private boat)... The food at the restaurant was nice but super tiny portions (and there are not really other alternatives on the island). Breakfast was ok but I would have expected something better from the location

Such a lovely place to stay. Communication was great pre arrival, we were greeted from the ferry with the buggy to the other side of the island. Hotel is lovely, but it was the friendliness of the staff and level of service that made it such a special place to stay. If you want a relaxing holiday to swim and walk then the island is perfect, no cars, lovely sun sets.

Food at the hotel was superb however if you'd like to make use of the kitchen in your room and self cater, there's very limited food choice in the shop 20 minute walk away. Advise bringing food over from the mainland supermarket.

We LOVED this hotel! The nicest place we’ve ever stayed, worth every penny. We stayed for our anniversary and it felt so special. The whole island is walkable in around 45 minutes. We saw starfish and octopus whilst snorkling! One of the only sandy beaches and seabeds we found in Croatia, brilliant for swimming. Used the rooftop pool a couple of tomes and had it all to ourselves. Brilliant friendly and kind staff. Loved every minute!!

Ordered a couple of smoothies, which for €11 were not very nice. But that would be our only complaint!

The location is beautiful. The sea is safe and sandy. The hotel is on the waters edge. The staff are friendly, helpful and extremely hard working. The apartment was clean and comfortable and super quiet. The food is, in the main very good and executed well, especially the scallops and tuna. The lunchtime menu had simpler options which were welcome. Breakfast was really delicious, fresh fruit and excellent omelettes and perfect poached eggs. I love the intimate feel of this hotel and the laid back vibe with a touch of class. The private transfers by speed boat are a great start/end to the stay.

The evening restaurant menu could offer some simpler options. The cabana beds are super comfy, there could be a couple more to accommodate everyone by the sea. The pool area had no shade so was not an option as the weather was unseasonably hot.

This hotel is really beautiful-a gorgeous location and very peaceful. The staff are wonderful - very friendly and helpful. Loved the private boat transfer from Dubrovnik. Complete relaxation.

The restaurant is lovely; all dishes we tried were excellent although there weren’t many other options open on the island when we visited and it is nice to have a change of scene sometimes. Also there is just one local shop on the other side of the island for basic supplies (crisps/drinks etc) it would have been lovely to make a coffee or the odd pasta lunch in the apartment for example, but it was tricky to get hold of things like that.

I think there might have been a mistake - I reserved a one-bedroom unit, and ended up with a two-bedroom unit, the largest room in the hotel. The views were glorious, and I had dinner on the balcony on the last day. The personnel were very friendly, from the front desk to the restaurant staff. Housekeeping even provided first aid for a bite (unknown) on my foot from a previous hotel stay.

WiFi doesn’t always extend to the balcony.

Beautiful hotel with a magical setting. We were whisked to the hotel by boat from the port and met by smiling staff and a glass of fizz! What a welcome! We were sadly only at the hotel for a very short time but got a feel for the place. The breakfasts were delicious, and I loved that the hotel provides kayaks for guests to use at no extra charge…

Guests putting their towels onto the beds first thing in the morning and then disappearing!!
