The centrally located, upper-middle-range Best Western Premier Hotel Astoria is within a five-minute walk of the main train station, and other transportation links. The 100 guest rooms are clean and spacious, and include free Wi-Fi free, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, and a hearty buffet breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel, which dates from 1932, evokes old-world style, which some might find more dated than charming. Travelers seeking chicer and sleeker accommodations might want to check out the swanky Hotel 9 boutique property or the modern Arcotel Allegra, which has competitive rates and an on-site spa and wellness center.

The Hotel Monte Mulini is a chic and contemporary luxury property that overlooks the Adriatic and a lush forest. While Rovinj town is about 20-minute walk from the hotel, reaching its charming Old Town will require a cab ride for most people. Rooms are clean and stylish with high-end bathrooms, and most open onto balconies with sea views. Two restaurants provide excellent dining, and there's an upscale spa. Monte Mulini is one of the finest hotels in the area, but families with children might want to also check out the sleek Hotel Lone next door, which has better kids' facilities.

The upscale Island Hotel Istra is a large all-inclusive property located on a small island, a 15-minute ferry ride from Rovinj. Its 358 contemporary-style rooms and suites have balconies, many with scenic views, and amenities like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Larger suites include notable extras like Nespresso machines, electric kettles, and sofa beds. The hotel has lovely outdoor and indoor pools as well as a wellness center, plus it offers a wealth of sports and children's activities. Though there are no shops or restaurants on the island, the hotel's four on-site restaurants offer several dining options, plus guests get freebies like buffet breakfasts and drinks at dinner -- but buffet meals get mixed reviews. The hotel is popular with families and gets busy in the summer; couples looking for a quieter scene should check out Hotel Lone.

The massive Le Meridien Lav Split is a popular destination right on the coast, but it may be a bit too big for its beaches. Spread across four connected buildings, it's huge, and has every facility in the book: vast event spaces, a spa, fitness center, tennis courts, kids' club, and water sports on its private stretch of beach. The private marina is useful for wealthy visitors looking to dock their yachts. An outdoor infinity pool has an impressive view of the crystal-blue Adriatic sea, but it's too small for the number of guests the hotel accommodates. Tourists might be a bit disappointed by the hotel's distance from Split and its attractions. The Radisson Blu Resort Split is actually in Split (and still on the beach), while Palace Judita Heritage Hotel offers a more personal experience in the heart of the Old Town.

Hotel Cavtat is a stylish mid-range property on Tiha Bay Beach and a five-minute walk from Cavtat's town center. Most of the 131 rooms range are renovated, bright, and modern, but a few rooms are still tired and dated. Most rooms have balconies with views of the sea and all rooms have free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Along with a private beach, features include a rooftop infinity pool, two restaurants for buffet and a la carte meals, and two bars. The hotel is only open from April to October, and air-conditioning is only available during the high season. For lower rates, albeit without beach access, the Villa Radovic is a good choice with modern rooms.

The 2017-renovated, 312-room Remisens Hotel Epidaurus is a sleek three-pearl property located just off a pebble beach and a seven-minute drive from Dubrovnik Airport. It brings modern Scandi style to its beachside location, with modern grays, bright pops of color, and clean lines dominating the design scheme. There's a lot on offer at the property, though some of it (windsurfing and diving lessons) comes at an extra charge. For those keen to explore, it's a 20-minute coastal walk into Cavtat and a 40-minute ferry ride to Dubrovnik. Though most guests are couples, kids can keep occupied with entertainment, a playground, and shallow pool next to the main one. Note that some rooms and bathrooms are small. Those wanting a more romantic spot could look into the beachfront Hotel Cavtat, which is also set in the center of the town.

This upper-middle-range resort is located on Lopud, a car-free island a short ferry ride from Dubrovnik. Its quiet beachfront location attracts leisure travelers and families who are looking for a resort atmosphere, and almost all areas of the resort offer panoramic sea views. The 182 guest rooms are spacious and have balconies with sea views. Amenities include two infinity pools, three restaurants, three bars, and a spa with a sauna, plus a Turkish bath, a whirlpool, and a relaxation area. For a resort hotel, rates are competitive, but notable downsides include extra charges for the spa, premium beach chairs, and ferry service. Travelers looking for a similar resort-style property may want to compare rates and features at the Admiral Grand Hotel, about a 40-minute drive from Dubrovnik.

The four-pearl Waterman Svpetrvs Resort is located a short walk from the harbor and ferry port on the quiet side of Brac. It's modern and stylish, with white-beamed ceilings and clean lines in the serene bedrooms, some of which come with balconies and sea views. Although there's plenty to do on-site -- including five pools and multiple restaurants throughout the larger complex -- it might be more rewarding to head to the port area for dinner as food on the property is only average. The resort is great for those with kids, thanks to age-appropriate clubs, kiddy pool, and mini-golf, plus a spa and adult-only pool appeal to adults. For those seeking a less-sprawling hotel in Brac, the three-and-a-half pearl Hotel Bol is closer to town, though guests will have to walk a bit farther to reach the beach.

Hotel Liburna is a three-pearl property located on Korcula Island, with bright, modern interiors and a picturesque beachfront setting. Its 112 guest rooms have warm, contemporary decor, and some add furnished balconies. All units have flat-screen TVs, minibars, and sleek bathrooms with shower/tub combos, but they lack kettles, and only some have sea views. Highlight features include two outdoor tennis courts, mini-golf, and free breakfast at the hotel's on-site restaurant, but the outdoor pool is a bit small. There's also no on-site gym, and if that's a deal-breaker, there's the hotel's sister property, Marko Polo Hotel (where guests are given access to facilities), which also has a spa.
