I stayed here with my girlfriend in August 2011. We booked it sight unseen and without recommendation. I could not be happier with the result. For budget accommodation it is great, clean and simple. Ana the host is more than helpful nothing is too much trouble including making sure I had a taxi to the airport at 4am. Situated a 5 - 10 minute walk outside of the town centre. (A steep walk too) it is quiet and comfortable. If you are people who like to explore the surrounding area (beaches, Dubrovnik, the islands) then all you need is a bed at night so forget the glitz and glamour of hotel living and opt for the apartment option. If I have to say anything negative it would be that the beds were firmer than I am used to and I would prefer. That said I slept well given all the fresh sea air and walking we did.

Great apparently . Great yew from most balconies. owner Ana great person nothing too much trouble .will get anything for you . Great hairdresser next-door very reasonable . Cavtat fab place to relax . Grub and drink very cheap .Am coming tothe same apparently for 8 years . Which says everything

Red Coral apartments are situated just above Cavtat marina which is about a 10 minute walk away. The apartment block is the ugliest block of a fairly ugly set of other apartment blocks but has great views during sunset and, because of its close proximity to the airport, aeroplanes!

We were given a warm welcome on the first day; Ana explained how to get into Cavtat along with the parking restrictions. We were given the essentials to start us off on our self catering holiday: red wine, bread, OJ, marmalade, margarine, milk and bottled water (but the tap water is fine to drink). Ana and the cleaning lady (didn't get to find out her name - sorry!) are both easy to get hold of if there is a problem and are very easy going.

The apartment was cleaned once a week along with bed sheets being changed. New towels and toilet roll were replenished every other day. However the toilet rolls never seemed to last! The cleanliness was OK, however the floor really did need cleaning more often as I found myself wearing flips flops to keep my feet clean.

The bathrrom was spacious and had a washing machine in it. Toiletries aren't provided and you will need to take your own hairdryer and travel iron.

The apartments advertise satellite TV but there are just a couple of news stations in English so it’s a very basic service. Overall, the apartments would be OK for a week's holiday. I think for two weeks somewhere with more facilities would be better, e.g. satellite TV, pool etc. as Cavtat is a small resort and there isn't really a lot to do.

Although not the prettiest apartments from the outside, inside was beautifully clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped, the balcony large and the views lovely. The owner Ana is very helpful and will point you in the right direction for what you need. There is a supermarket just back up the hill from the apartments and the walk down to Cavtat takes about 10 minutes. There is another mini market in the town and a fruit market as well. There are plenty of restaurants catering for most tastes and pockets - eating out can be a little pricy - try Atlas for pizza & pasta or Dolium for more traditional food, but drinks in the bars are very reasonable. Cavtat is beautiful, a lovely place to relax in and explore but the 'beaches' are little more than rock perches, there are better beaches at Mlini, Srebreno and Kupari. Dubrovnik is only a boat or bus ride away and boat trips to the little islands off the coast are definately worth the effort!
