My wife and I stayed at Apartment Bacan in Aug'07. I'd booked our room for 7 nights. One of the reasons we chose this place is because the website shows a terrace area. Also it was one of the few apartments that had a/c.
When we arrived we realised that Apartments Bacan is situated on a main road. This meant that the terrace area was quite noisy, with a rather unimpressive view of the local traffic.
The room was absolutely tiny. It had a kitchen & table with a separate bedroom. However this doesn't explain exactly how small this place was......it should have been a studio flat rather than squeezing in an interior wall to make the 'bedroom'
We were a little disappointed when we arrived but we decided that as it was cheap (£45 per night) then we shouldn't really expect too much. The problem really came when we went to bed. The aircon which looked quite modern and seemed to work well became a big problem. It was situated so that it blew directly in to your face when you were lying on the bed. This meant that any more than 10 mins with the aircon on would result in a freezing face and dry eyes. No matter how many times I tried to adjust the slats we still couldn't sleep with the aircon on. As it was August we were unable to sleep properly with the aircon off.
The apartment is single glazed and as you're probably aware Cavtat is located near an airport. This meant that the low flying aircraft woke us up in the morning. In addition to this we could hear lots of noise from the floor above.
The one positive thing I can say about Apartments Bacan is that the bathroom was very clean.
With the noise and aircon problem it meant that we had very little sleep on our first night. We decided in the morn that we had to move elsewhere. The only hotel that we could find with such short notice was Hotel Cavatat (4 nights £95pn). This was a bit average to be honest, although the sea view rooms are quite impressive. For the final 2 nights of our stay in Cavtat we manged to get booked into Hotel Croatia (£110 per night). This was an amazing hotel and would recommend it to all.
It may seem a little unfair that I've just given one star to this place. This is basically because we just couldn't stay there any longer. These problems forced us to move on, which in itself was quite stressful. Not what you need for a relaxing holiday!
