Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Croatia

Sprawling across its own rocky, pine-studded peninsula, with quiet walking trails through the property, this vast hotel offers guests the chance to find their own place in the sun or shade, seemingly miles away from the rest of the world. A 10-minute walk west of the island center, it has modern, softly furnished rooms, each with a balcony or terrace, five restaurants, indoor and outdoor saltwater pools, and some of Cavtat's best swimming spots (including a nude beach).
