Our stay at the Royal Apartments was nothing short of superb. The best thing about our time there was the hospitality and sheer generosity of our hosts, Maria and Zvonko. They catered to our every need and were always available for the slightest possible request. They are genuinely delightful people. Outstanding!!

The apartments were large, very comfortable and were stocked with all possible kitchen items including a toaster and jug. Scrupulously clean. At the front entrance is a supermarket, bakery and coffee shop as well as being seconds from the old town gate and centred perfectly for sight seeing and shopping.

This place is a real find. Email address is royalapt@ica.net

I join with many others in extolling the virtues of the Royal Apartments. In every respect - location, space, cleanliness, and last but not least, friendliness and helpfulness of hosts Zvonko and Maria, this is a great establishment. And Korcula was definitely the highlight of our Croatia trip. We spent too much time in Dubrovnik. One other note - avoid Heathrow if possible; it's a travelers nightmare.

Our recent experience proved that previous top reviews were not exaggerating. Scenic location on the plaza beside the town gate; easy parking; a grocery and bakery right by the hotel entrance; immaculate rooms; and -- above all -- the most charming, helpful hosts imaginable. Go, and enjoy! We should clarify that owners Maria and Zvonko Jelavic are now directly running the apartments themselves. They previously had a manager named Annamaria who is still mentioned in some of the guidebooks. Note also that Maria and Zvonko return to their other home in Toronto sometime in October and close the hotel for the winter.

Myself and my girfriend spent two nights in Korcula and stayed in the Royal Apartments. We were greeted on arrival by Maria who collected us from the port and showed us to the premises. Maria and her husband Zvonko are excellent hosts and really go out of their way to make your stay as good as it can possibly be. The rooms are spacious, clean and in an excellent location on the seafront. After a nice meal in the evening we were treated to a glass of wine with Maria & Zvonko and made to feel extremely welcome. On our last day Zvonko even arranged transport for us to Dubrovnik. The island itself is well worth a visit and if you stay at Royal Apts you will not be dissapointed.
