Reviews of Tara's Lodge 4 stars

Clean, friendly, quiet with a private beach

Small rooms

2 bed apartment with balcony - nice size for family of 4 with 2 teens. Spacious, modern and very clean. Nice view from master bedroom. We were aware the property is 3 miles or so from the town so we’re prepared to accept taxi fares (15e each way) as we didn’t have a car. However the location was a good compromise as clear water for swimming from the small ‘beach’ area with complimentary bean bag style sun beds. There’s an inflatable sea assault course a short walk away which children enjoyed a couple of times for 10e each for 30 minutes. The property has paddle boards (18e for 2 for an hour). Small grocery shop short walk away. Korcula old town has a nice atmosphere with plenty of restaurants.

The bistro is where breakfast is served. It’s a small buffet selection of fruit, bread, croissants and hot food cooked to order. It’s ok but found staff, although seemingly numerous, indifferent to us. On each of our 4 mornings we had to constantly approach staff for service and they seemed unengaged.

Location, beach nearby, tasty breakfasts, helpful team, rooms with air conditioning, nice view

For the price I would expect higher standard of the room

The staff were incredible! We stayed in 10 different places during our trip all over the Balkans and this was by far the best service we had. The food was excellent, too. Breakfast was fantastic, we had dinner one night there too and weren’t disappointed.

The room we booked was a “sea view” room but we were on the ground floor behind the restaurant. This meant that we’d have to stand up outside of the room to actually see the bit of sea, and it wasn’t very private, as our patio was on the main path of all guests and staff coming and going from the beach and restaurant.

Very nice sea bay view from the balcony, excellent staff service. It is very nice that the restaurant/bar are right there. Beach is nice, if you do not feel like looking for more secluded places.

Price and quality ratio did not fully convince, however, the sea view and broad offered facilities are admittedly great.

Location is clearly one of the best on the island. The sea and scenery on that particular cove are truly breathtaking and you can quite easily spend all day there. We felt likenwe couldn't stop taking pictures. The sea is so calm and perfect for swimming and paddle boarding whuch can be rented from the lodge. Staff were all great and very helpful. Apartment is what you would expect too.

The only downer was the price. This is quite clearly a premium priced hotel and we would have expected things like the apartment and the breakfast spread to be premium quality which I wouldn't quite say it was. Clearly the price is based on that particular location and the sea cove rather than the hotel itself.

Location, access to the beach. beach club was great

Pool closed for 2 days maintenance in the peak holiday season

They had everything you didn’t even have to leave! The ocean and sun beds are right there, great food is right there at their restaurant, and the staff were incredible!!

N/A

Privacy, layout, location

Nothing!

The location was good and it was all nice and compact.

The music in the restaurant. The lack of a phone in the room to call reception. The wasps at breakfast

Great hotel on Korcula Island. Friendly staff, and cute little restaurant. The beach front had the best views in all of Croatia we had visited. Calm, relaxing and great sea to swim in. They also provide snorkels and flippers free of charge which was great! We didn’t eat dinner at the restaurant, but the breakfast was ok. Basic but had everything you needed to start your day! Cocktails were fantastic and happy hour is very good €€€. Would recommend if wanting a relaxing few days in Korcula.

It’s not that this was a problem because we knew before we booked - but just to highlight you have to get a taxi or car to get to the hotel, which is around €15 Each way to Korcula old town. So just keep that in mind!

The incredible beach lovation - best on the islamd! The staff, the food.

Not all rooms have views the way it is in the photos

I booked this hotel as the ones in the centre seemed a little tired. The rooms were clean, tidy and minimalist, white beach lodge style. The hotel is right on the waterfront. The bay in front of hotel is huge and very well protected from the winds, it's almost like a little lagoon, however when I was there the water was not the clearest in comparison to other places I swam in Croatia. I would recommend this for families with kids. The weather turned one night and I had dinner the beach restaurant, the food was good. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

It is a short 5-10 min drive to the old town. I paid 15 euros each way by taxi at anytime of the day or night, or 25 euros by taxi boat. It doesn't seem like much but it does add up after a couple days. It was a little short on shower gel with the mini toiletry bottles. My room's windows faced the path to the beach and restaurant which means it lacked privacy as people kept looking in when walking past.

Tara's Lodge has the most stunning scenery set overlooking a gorgeous bay. I have never seen such clear blue sea in Europe! It is really something special. There is a nice chilled vibe here and is the perfect place to spend the day on the small beach taking in the gorgeous views and dipping into the water. Lots of other guests opted to rent paddle boards as well. The restaurant attached to the hotel is called Mimi's and we had some delicious meals there. Tara's Lodge is about a ten minute drive from Korcula old town and costs €15 in a taxi. It is definitely a much more relaxed area and has a supermarket and other beach bars within walking distance. The staff were extremely attentive and on hand to help with any requests.

The only thing I would mention is that I think the photos on booking.com made it look like the swimming pool looks out onto the beach. The swimming pool area is quite small and does not have any of the amazing views. That is not the hotel's fault, just something I thought was worth mentioning!

The location can’t be beat! The properties amazing and the staff is excellent.

We loved it all.

Fantastic location with a laid back vibe. Close to Korcula town, vineyards and secluded beaches. Excellent, friendly service, wonderful food, fab view - what more could you want?
