Valamar Argosy Hotel

Valamar Argosy Hotel is a four-star hotel on Iva Dulčića in the Babin Kuk area of Dubrovnik, Croatia, on the wooded peninsula northwest of the Old Town. Babin Kuk is a resort district with coastal paths, pebble beaches and several Valamar properties close together, and the Old Town is reached by city bus or taxi in roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The hotel has about 308 recently refurbished rooms, giving it a fresher, more contemporary feel than some older properties in the area. Rooms are air-conditioned and have wifi and minibars, and many have balconies or sea views toward the water and islands. Accommodation is mainly Double Rooms and Family Rooms, which suit couples as well as parents travelling with children. Facilities include a pool, a restaurant and a bar, with breakfast and dinner usually served buffet-style, as is common across the Valamar group, and evening drinks at the bar or on terraces. The beaches of Babin Kuk lie within walking distance, and the coastal promenade provides easy walks to cafes and small shops. The service character is relaxed and family-oriented, suited to travellers who want a comfortable resort base with a pool and sea access rather than a historic-centre stay. The hotel is rated about 4.4 by guests. Rates run from roughly 100 to 280 euros per night, which places it in the mid-to-upper range for Dubrovnik, with the highest prices in July and August. Visitors who plan to spend evenings in the Old Town should allow for the journey back, and those who prefer to stay near the beach can take advantage of the restaurants and bars along Babin Kuk.
