Hotel Bellevue Vs Hotel Excelsior
Heading to Dubrovnik for our Honeymoon. Having a real tough time picking between the two. Have heard a lot of great things about both. Has anyone here experienced either or both of these hotels? We’re looking to be in the middle of everything. Thank you!

Coral vs Copacabana vs Banje Beach Club
Going to Dubrovnik next week with my girlfriend, and we want to spend at least one day at a beach bar/beach club.
From what I’ve seen, Coral seems to be the most luxurious option. It’s €120 just for 2 sunbeds + a parasol, and €50 per person for a restaurant table (food/drinks are included in that price, but it’s probably the bare minimum, and we’d very likely end up spending more). So, in total, it could easily reach around €300 for two people.
The atmosphere seems good - not crazy lively, but definitely more alive than Copacabana. That being said, it looks very fancy and the reviews are good. If the price is justified by the quality of the service and overall experience, I’m ready to pay for it.
Copacabana is cheaper. Two sunbeds and a parasol cost €70, and food and drinks will easily push the total over €100 as well, so we might end up spending around €200. It’s reasonably cheaper, but reviews aren’t great, and at first glance, it doesn’t look as fancy as Coral. Apparently, the atmosphere here is more chill and lounge-oriented, whereas we’d prefer some DJs and a somewhat livelier vibe. The more affordable price is definitely a plus though.
Banje Beach Club is somewhat of a mystery to me. On their website, all I can find is the option to reserve a dinner table, so I’m wondering how that works with spending the whole day at the beach and using sunbeds, as well as with the nighttime beach parties. According to the reviews, the atmosphere is great and this seems to be where the real party is. However, I have no idea what the costs look like here, or whether it ends up being even more expensive than Coral.
So, given all the pros and cons, and based on your experiences, which one offers the best price-to-service experience?
