Beautiful hotel full of antiques right on the beach
Pros:

Old world elegance charm on a car-free island.

Cons:

Not ideal for solo travelers because there’s an added cost per night if alone. Best for families.

Pros:

Krapanj, the smallest permanently inhabited Croatian island, is very beautiful, however the area around the southeast side isn't so great. We suspect that the residents of the nearby houses aren't taking proper care of it, as there's construction debris, etc. Elsewhere, however, it's very beautiful.
The hotel staff, whether at reception, room service, or in the restaurant, were always helpful and friendly.
Especially Mr. Nino – always cheerful and helpful. He also often took us by boat to Brodarica.
We also used the hotel pool - it was clean and always available.
I think the hotel's interior is the original one from 2005. It didn't bother me at all – it was always spotlessly clean. Hotels in Italy or Spain could learn a thing or two from this.

Cons:

the area around the southeast side isn't so great. We suspect that the residents of the nearby houses aren't taking proper care of it, as there's construction debris, etc

Pros:

The personnel was just amazing! Super friendly and helpful. The island is beautiful, calm and that you are right on the beach just makes this stay very special.

Cons:

If we had to mention something it would be that the water in the shower took some time to get warm.
