Built in 2011, the three-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Degenija stands out for being relatively new, which gives it a competitive edge against many older properties in and around Plitvice National Park. Its 20 guest rooms have contemporary decor with hardwood floors, though most don't have balconies. Standard amenities include AC, flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles, and shower/tub combos, but they lack toiletries. There's a great open-air cafe and bar where a free breakfast is served, plus a restaurant that offers regional cuisine, but no fitness center. The property doesn't have a pool, either, although one was being built during our visit. For a step up, travelers can consider Hotel Jezero inside the park, which adds a spa and has rooms with better views, but there's no air-conditioning.

Hotel Cavtat is a stylish mid-range property on Tiha Bay Beach and a five-minute walk from Cavtat's town center. Most of the 131 rooms range are renovated, bright, and modern, but a few rooms are still tired and dated. Most rooms have balconies with views of the sea and all rooms have free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Along with a private beach, features include a rooftop infinity pool, two restaurants for buffet and a la carte meals, and two bars. The hotel is only open from April to October, and air-conditioning is only available during the high season. For lower rates, albeit without beach access, the Villa Radovic is a good choice with modern rooms.

The 2017-renovated, 312-room Remisens Hotel Epidaurus is a sleek three-pearl property located just off a pebble beach and a seven-minute drive from Dubrovnik Airport. It brings modern Scandi style to its beachside location, with modern grays, bright pops of color, and clean lines dominating the design scheme. There's a lot on offer at the property, though some of it (windsurfing and diving lessons) comes at an extra charge. For those keen to explore, it's a 20-minute coastal walk into Cavtat and a 40-minute ferry ride to Dubrovnik. Though most guests are couples, kids can keep occupied with entertainment, a playground, and shallow pool next to the main one. Note that some rooms and bathrooms are small. Those wanting a more romantic spot could look into the beachfront Hotel Cavtat, which is also set in the center of the town.

Turist Grabovac is a peaceful, family-friendly, three-and-a-half pearl camping resort that’s conveniently located a 10-minute drive from the Plitvice Lakes National Park. The 33 rooms span various levels of comfort -- many are modern, though some are on the functional side, and there are some housekeeping issues. There are also pitches for travelers with their own tents, but some are far from shared bathrooms. The small pool is a welcome addition, the popular restaurant serves regional cuisine, and the buffet breakfast (costs extra) offers a wide variety; half-board and full-board are available. There’s an on-site minimart, pets are allowed (for a fee), and there’s free Wi-Fi (but it can be patchy) and free parking. Alternatively, Hotel Jezero is located within the park itself, though decor is more dated and rates are higher.
