Hotel Uvala

Hotel Uvala is a four-star hotel at Masarykov put 6 on Lapad Bay in Dubrovnik, Croatia, run by the Maestral hotel group. Masarykov put is the seaside road that follows the bay in the Lapad district, a green peninsula a few kilometres northwest of the Old Town, and the hotel looks over the water with the pebble beach close at hand. City buses run from Lapad to the Old Town and the Gruž port, and taxis are plentiful. The hotel has 51 rooms, making it a smaller, more personal property than the big resorts nearby, and its style is that of a traditional Adriatic seafront hotel with terraces and garden surroundings. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms and Sea View Rooms, with air conditioning and wifi, and the sea-view category is the one most guests prefer for its balcony outlook over the bay. Breakfast is served on site, and a restaurant offers meals, while Lapad's promenade has additional independent restaurants and cafes within a short walk. There is no major spa or pool complex at the hotel, so guests typically use the beach and the neighbouring Maestral hotels for activities. Service is friendly and straightforward, aimed at couples and families on a seaside holiday. Rates are in the upper-middle range, commonly about €70-200 per night, with July and August the most expensive. Listings disagree on the closing date, so travellers visiting in late autumn should confirm opening before booking. Phone enquiries can be made on +385 20 433 580. Visitors who want to be beside the bay, with the Old Town reachable by bus in about 20 minutes, usually find it a good-value base on the Lapad coast.
