Built on a cliff overlooking Lapad bay, Hotel More has its own private access to the Adriatic from a concrete terrace along the rocky shore. Travelers looking for a sandy beach may be disappointed, but the hotel hides a natural cave that makes Top 10 lists for coolest bars in the world. The restaurant pairs regional dishes with an extensive wine list and outdoor terrace. Rooms are posh if dated, but they have marble bathrooms with big jetted tubs. Sightseers must travel across the peninsula to get to Old Town attractions, but views of the islands are right outside.

Hotel Adriatic, an 108-guest room, seaside budget hotel, is a 1960s relic that's dated but exceptionally well-located, just a minute's walk from the beach, though outside of Dubrovnik's Old Town. The best rooms are on the upper floors facing the sea, featuring balconies and newer furniture. Other units are less well-maintained, with worn furniture and dated floral accents. In-room amenities are limited across the board -- AC, Wi-Fi (sometimes slow), and old tube-style TVs are about all guests can expect. A decent, free hot breakfast is served in the hotel's sea-view restaurant across the street, and half-board dining options are available. Travelers looking for more in-room and on-site amenities can consider the nearby Hotel Splendid, but it's also dated, and pricier.

This four-and-a-half-pearl luxury boutique hotel is perched on the rocky edge of the hilly, green Babin Kuk peninsula. The property is located about a 15-minute drive outside Dubrovnik's Old City, so it isn't ideal for travelers seeking proximity to sights, but hotel's semi-remote, seaside location adds much to the romantic ambiance. Public spaces and 115 guest rooms remain fresh from 2016 renovations, and in-room amenities are upscale, as all units have large flat-screen TVs, minibars, kettles, coffeemakers, robes, slippers, and free Wi-Fi. Though while spacious and nicely equipped, bathrooms look slightly dated. Features are solid, too, with restaurants, a spa, three outdoor pools, and direct beach access. Travelers who to stay in Old Town and keep the same range of high-end amenities should check into the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik.

Located on Lapad Bay, the three-pearl Hotel Splendid is a seasonal property with a garden that leads down to a private beach. It's within walking distance of the bustling Lapad Bay promenade, but far from Dubrovnik's historic center. The 59 guest rooms are tidy and spacious, and all have balconies, most with beautiful sea views. Decor is dated, though, and other than the AC, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, in-room amenities are limited, and some have old tube-style TVs. A buffet breakfast is included in the room rate, but it gets mixed reviews. There's also a garden restaurant, a hotel bar, and a beach bar. Half-board options are available. But there's no gym on-site, and sunbeds and umbrellas for the beach cost an extra. Also, the hotel doesn't have an elevator. For more modern decor and better amenities, travelers can consider Hotel Uvala -- a bit pricer, but perhaps a better value.

The three-pearl Marko Polo Hotel is an old-fashioned property a short walk from Korcula's small city center and the beach, offering gorgeous views of both. There's plenty to do here for families and couples, thanks to an expansive spa, sea-view outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, water sports, and tennis court. Although the hotel is beyond due for renovations, the 103 rooms are clean and comfortable, plus come with free Wi-Fi. The restaurant serves good local specialities indoors and on a lovely terrace with panoramic vistas. Those who prefer staying directly in the center of town might want to look into the more stylish Hotel Korcula, set between the water and the medieval walls.

The Art Hotel Kalelarga is a four-pearl boutique property that sits right in the center of Zadar’s old town. It’s within a 10-minute walk of key sights like the Roman Forum, Cathedral of St. Anastasia, and Sea Organ. This upscale design-led hotel pays homage to its historic setting, with features like exposed stonework and rooms named after Dalmatian places, phrases, and poets. Each of the 10 rooms is individually designed and all have amenities like air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs. The bistro-style restaurant and wine cellar are a great feature for a small property and breakfast is included. The soothing vibe draws tourist couples looking to experience Zadar, though the hotel's style and location come at a premium cost. That being said, bargains are hard to find in this part of town.
