My stay at the Royal Ariston Hotel was overall a wonderful experience, with stunning sea views from my room that really enhanced my holiday. However, I was disappointed with the front desk service when I had a concern regarding my blocked view, and I felt the manager could have handled it better. The location was perfect for exploring Dubrovnik, but the buffet dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of quality.
