Bottom Line
The 308-room Valamar Argosy Hotel is an upscale, chain property located in a complex with other hotels on a hill offering beautiful views of the sea and its islands. The downside of its hilltop location means there's no direct beach access and it's a 15-minute bus ride to the sights of Dubrovnik's Old Town. Rooms are pleasant and serene with pastel painted walls, stocked minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but some of the decor is more functional than stylish. The huge outdoor infinity pool has gorgeous views and a pool bar, and an indoor pool and spa offers additional space for relaxing. There’s a playground for the kids as well as an activity club during the high season. The on-site restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and dinner; beverage packages and half-board options are available. For a waterfront option, travelers could consider the hotel's sister property the Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel, which sits on a private pebble beach.
