So first the good:- - Beautiful island - Beach front (clean sandy beach) - Lots of excursions/activities to do - The 2 ladies who did the activities clearly enjoy what they do and are very impressive! - Spotlessly clean - Very comfortable beds - Good, powerful shower - Food selection was very good Not so good:- - Pot luck whether you get friendly staff or not. Some are very friendly and helpful, others ignore you. We stood at the bar one night, which was unattended, and 3 people were walked past us and ignored us before we enquired if anyone could serve us. - When arriving and walking on site to reception the security guard (who we nicknamed The Sheriff!) approached us quite aggressively asking to see our wristbands. When we explained that we were checking in he just walked away, without saying anything. - Chap on desk for excursions was scrolling his phone and seemed a bit put out when we asked about how to buy tickets for the passenger ferry and told us to “ask his colleague tomorrow”. Luckily we worked it out ourselves online as there wasn’t anyone on the desk this morning when we came down! - The lady on reception in the spa was on a video call to presumably her partner, which she left running while she booked our treatment for us, which was a bit awkward. We had tried to book using the app, but when we (thankfully) checked up on it, we discovered it hadn’t gone through so had to book with her then. After we had our massage and were paying it gives you an option to tip. We would of course always tip, but the lady quite pointedly said to me “there is an option for you to tip here, how much do you want to do?” which felt like a bit of pressure as it is easy to select it on the card machine yourself. It didn’t impact how much I tipped, but I’ve not experienced that before. - Non- alcoholic options are quite limited. Non-alcoholic beer was only available as a premium beverage, so had to be paid for. The drinks aren’t the best quality, so I mostly stuck to water. - Snacks available between meal times did not look appealing! Some sandwiches behind a glass counter at the pool bar. Essentially the beauty of the island does the heavy lifting, and actually I’d say it’s terrific value - safe, clean and fun. The hotel could go from being “pretty good” to “excellent” with a few small changes:- - A bit of a brush up on customer services for some of the staff. Appreciate they work hard and it’s a difficult job, but it did sometimes feel like an inconvenience to ask for something. - Nicer towels in the rooms - they were very thin and coarse. - Fewer signs everywhere. There was a lot of Tui branded signage that had been laminated when looks scruffy. By the pool there were two no smoking signs of 2 different sizes right next to each other! - In the hallways there were Tui dark blue coloured rugs which looked dirty most of the time and a trip hazard. They just looked a bit naff. - Heat the jacuzzi pool - it was actually colder than the sea!!

I spend ages on TA whittling down my list picking a hotel and I’m glad I settled on this one. The Argosy is excellent. Lovely views from the hotel and pools out to sea, nicely kept gardens and a short walk from behind the hotel to the promenade or “beach area. Hotel is immaculate. We had a “partial sea view” room which was great. Nice big room with plenty of space ( no drawers for smalls tho! Kept them in the suitcase). The room must be well soundproofed too as we never heard any other guests. I’m sure there was a baby in the next room too, maybe it was just a quiet baby! I have never seen such a wide array of food at a hotel breakfast buffet! Lots of different cheeses, meats, salad, breads, cakes, real honeycomb, goulash, the list goes on.. we also ate pizza at the little bistro which was very tasty I’m being picky but couldn’t understand why no milk is provided in the room with the tea bags etc, and you have to pay for it if you get in the hotel ( we got some at the mall) and the towels were a bit “hard” but the may be due to being eco friendly? Also I could only find Sky news and BBC news on the Tv. Other English speaking channels would be appreciated. Get your return bus tickets in the little hotel shop. The bus is regular. One tip, it’s a free for all when you get the return bus from the old town, I’m afraid “first come first served” and politely queuing doesn’t seem to apply here so when it’s busy take care. The buses do get crammed too so be prepared to stand. I definitely recommend this hotel!

Would just like to say this is our personal experience. We stayed here for 2 weeks which is not something we normally do in Europe but we also wanted to visit Bosnia / Hercegovina and Montenegro so decided on the 2 . What can you say, everything has been said. Pros: Check in easy, Reception area was bright and airy. Friendly and helpful, welcome drink nice touch. Rooms, exceptionally clean and spacious, bed very big and comfortable, nice size bathroom, shower great and lovely balcony with sun beds and table and chairs. Oh, forgot to mention stunning views. Also very quiet, never once heard neighbours. The 2 girls who cleaned our room, so lovely and took care of the room. Food, breakfast was fantastic, evening meals were very good, variety good and always found something to eat, meat or fish or stews, pasta, cheeses etc and sweet selection was great. Food was always well presented and fresh, breakfast smoothies were nice touch. Views from restaurant was stunning especially the sunsets. Staff, excellent experience, all so very friendly and helpful. They couldn’t do enough for you, special mention to Andrijana and Paola ( front of restaurant ), Tarek, Marijo and Selma ( restaurant staff ) and Miljenko and Damir ( restaurant managers ). They were a credit to the hotel, always greeting guests with a smile, so friendly, helpful and happy to chat and showed a real interest in you and what your experiences of the day etc. very knowledgeable about their country and local areas, gave you tips and ideas etc. they genuinely made the holiday experience that much better, thank you to them and all the staff. Facilities, both indoor and outdoor pools lovely, plenty of sun loungers , Gym, didn’t use so no comment. Plenty of loungers at beach and towels when room card shown. Bar and beach bistro area lovely, plenty of comfy chairs to relax in. Lift from beach to all floors if you didn’t want to walk. Location, no.6 bus stops 50metres from hotel, buy tickets in hotel shop, cheaper, takes you straight into old town, which is first and last stop. Walks either side of hotel, one takes you along coastal dirt road to port via couple of beaches, and good drinks stop, Shelby’s ( after Peaky Blinders ) was good. The other along coast and past hotels and cafes to Lapad and Sunset beach. Visit The Cave Bar for drink along the way, cave bar is fab and outside view is beautiful. SUNSETS STUNNING. Concierge desk, booked up some trips from here, girls friendly and helpful, not pushy to sell, prices matched those from vendors in town. Shout out to Leona and Matea. Cons, only one, pillows to soft. Overall it was a fantastic experience and would recommend and definitely go back. More than anything, the staff, location and views make this special.
