We stayed for one week all inclusive at the Hotel Epidurus, Cavtat in Sept 2007. Cavtat is just a 5 minute taxi ride from the Hotel (we paid £34 for a prebooked return trip but later found that the hotel could book taxis for around £18 return). Our room was at the front of the Hotel, so no sea view. It was pretty small but adequate for our needs. The decor however could use some updating as the room was quite shabby. The hotel food is plentiful and on the whole pretty good although could generally do with being hotter. We found the best selections to be meat and fish from the grill, where the food was cooked fresh instead of being left to stand on the buffet. There was always a good selection, especially at breakfast time with cereals, continental and cooked varieties on offer. Wines, both red and white, both perfectly drinkable, along with beer are served at lunch and dinner. On the whole we found the Hotel staff along with all the staff we encountered in the town to be very friendly and helpful. Cavtat itself is a really pretty town which in our opinion, the photos we’d seen on the internet did not do justice to. The planes coming into land at the nearby airport are by no means too noisy or too frequent. It well worth visiting some of the restaurants in the town which serve mainly very good value fish dishes and pizzas. We’d definitely consider a return visit to Cavtat in the future.

We've stayed at this hotel for one week in September 2007, all inclusive. The hotel (rated 3 stars) is nice and quiet but a little bit antiquated. It is near to the airport (3 km) but not noisy. The rooms are fair but caution with the sea view, as there are rooms behind the pine garden with little view. The plumbing is also a bit noisy. The hotel is located in a beautiful bay and about 1 km (15 minutes walking) from the village (and harbour) of Catvat (spelled Tsavtat) and the promenade to there by the shore is really nice. Buses (n. 10, 12 kunas each way) to Dubrovnik departure from there every 30 minutes. You can also take a boat (80 kunas, round trip). The hotel staff is very friendly, except for the rent-a-car guys, who will insult you (as they did to us) for a 15 minutes delay in car return. The food is fine but quite monotous. The beverage (local beer, wine and liquors) is OK. The swimming pools (adults and children) are small and not much popular as you have the hot waters beach nearby (10 meters). The place is near to the surrounding countries and we went from there to Bosnia (Mostar and Sarajevo, 1 day) and Montenegro and Albania (following day. We loved Albania, despite the poverty: people are very friendly). In the end, this place and hotel are a good choice.

My family and I had a weeks holiday in this hotel back in 2004 and we can honestly say that every holiday hotel we`ve stayed at since hasn`t approached anywhere near the standard of the Epidaurus.
We have never revisited a hotel in the past but after reading the recent reviews we have decided to try and book again for next year - this time for two weeks.

Hotel is 3 star and I would agree with the rating. We had a family room which was fairly large - always cleaned with crisp white sheets each day. Reception and everyone else always had a smile. Position of hotel is just ideal - right onto the sea. My children are teenagers and if they are happy then naturally any parents can then enjoy themselves. The Animation club were excellent - always doing something but not pressurising. The water sports were excellent - thanks to Anna, Anna, Kate, Dessi, Lucy and many others too many to mention.

The tablecloths were again crisp and replaced immediately you left the table. Would recommend to any aged family.

The hotel is convenient for a walk into Cavtat and you can get the bus and boat nearby to Dubrovnik.

Many thanks to all. Pauline and family
