Hotel Kompas

Dubrovnik


Right by the beach at Lapad, this big hotel has more personality that you'd expect for its size, due in large part to interesting art, slick design and charming staff. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the outdoor pool is pleasantly cool on a scorching day (the indoor one's warmer).
