In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Hotel Bellevue Superior City Hotel sits on Sibenik Bay, a 5-minute walk from the old town, but the view it hands you is the open Adriatic straight ahead — a clear break from King Kresimir and Life Palace, which are tucked into the old-town lanes. It scores 9.4/10 on Booking.com and 9.5 on Agoda across 195+ reviews. There are 49 rooms across several tiers: standards look over the town, while deluxe and Sea View rooms face the water. The headline is the top-floor Executive Apartment and Presidential Suite, each with a balcony hot tub over the sea — several reviewers say soaking in it with the Adriatic in front at dusk was the best stretch of their trip. The rooms run a modern Dalmatian look, spotless, and reviews call them large with good bathrooms and enough hanging space.
Food and amenities
The spa has a small mini pool, a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath and a fitness room, all open to hotel guests. Breakfast scores especially well — smoked salmon, prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato salad and fresh croissants, with more choice than the standard hotel buffet.
Location and getting there
The Sibenik Bay waterfront buys you a better sea view than the old-town hotels, but you walk 5 minutes to reach the stone lanes. The hotel is near Sibenik harbour, the departure point for boats out to St. Nicholas Fortress and the Kornati Islands. A taxi over to D-Resort runs about 10 minutes, and Krka National Park is roughly 35 minutes by car.
Things to know before booking
The hot-tub terrace rooms cost a good deal more than the standards, so weigh whether the splurge is worth it. The location is not dead-centre in the old town — fine for most, but a touch less immediate than King Kresimir. And there is no private beach; the draw here is the bay view and the spa rather than swimming off the property.
Our take
If a real Adriatic view and a full spa matter more to you than being inside the old-town walls, Bellevue is the seafront pick in Sibenik — and the old town is still only 5 minutes on foot. Book a top-floor unit for the hot tub; take a standard if the view alone is enough.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- Waterfront setting on Sibenik Bay with the Adriatic opening up straight in front — a real sea view rather than a stone-lane outlook.
- The top-floor Executive Apartment and Presidential Suite have a balcony hot tub facing the sea, which reviewers call the best part of their trip.
- The spa has a mini pool, a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath and a fitness room, all open to guests.
- Premium breakfast that scores especially high — smoked salmon, prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato salad and fresh croissants, with more on offer than the usual hotel buffet.
- Staff come in for praise in reviews as attentive and charming, and the rooms read as large and spotless with good bathrooms.
- The hot-tub terrace rooms cost a lot more than the standard ones, so check whether the splurge fits your budget before booking.
- It is not right in the old town — you walk 5 minutes out through the newer part of town to reach the stone lanes, so it is a touch less central than King Kresimir.
- There is no private beach here; the draw is the bay view and the spa rather than swimming straight off the property.

Insider Tips
- Book one of the top-floor Executive or Presidential units if the balcony hot tub is the point — the standard rooms do not have it.
- Confirm a Sea View room at booking; the cheaper standards face the town rather than the water.
- The harbour is close by — it is the departure point for boats out to St. Nicholas Fortress and the Kornati Islands, so plan a half-day on the water.
