“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
6
people found this review helpful

This was our first trip to Croatia and we went with friends. We were absolutely delighted with the Laurentum. The staff were exceptional, the bedrooms huge (our friends were staying in one tht featured int he brochure) and everywhere spotless. We had a sea view but our balcony was in full sun and it was, unfortunately, far too hot for us to ever sit on it. However, the views of the sea and the glorious sunsets were stunning.
As the hotel is so small (34 rooms) you have to order your dinner each evening for the next night, which we were not terribly keen on. However, we would only have B & B next time, as there are so many bars and restaurants along the front to eat it - all quite cheap.
As stated the pool is tiny and there are not many sun beds. There was the usual international battle to get towels out onto beds first, each morning. The beach - if you walk for 100 metres from the hotel steps, is lovely, although pebbles, not sand. Lots of shade under pine trees and sun beds galore to hire . We went on excursions and hired a car to go up Biokovo Mountain - breathtaking and a real must. If the weather had been cooler we would have done more but it was in the high thirties for the 10 days and that restricted us. There was some local entertainment along the front on some evenings and Tucepi itself has a lovely 'family' feel to it. Very few English guests whilst we were there, although everyone spoke English very well. Dubrovnic - despite being 160 km away, was also a must - the city is so beautiful.

Room Tip: All the rooms we saw were lovely, but some have side sea views only - ask for front facing rooms

“Hotel provides an excellent and a relaxing surrounding in which to unwind.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

We arrived at the Hotel very late but were greeted warmly and with the offer of food which the Hotel had kept aside for us. This was a very kind gesture which was much appreciated.

Following our son's wedding that week my husband and I were ready for a well deserved rest which we did get. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Our room was facing the road with a partial sea and mountain view. There was a cave on the mountain which would change colour as the sun moved around. The room itself was spotless as was the rest of the hotel.Fresh sheets and towels were provided each day.

I shall recommend the fish in the restaurant as it was always very fresh. Sadly it was always served with creamed spinach and boiled potatoes which did get monotonous by the end of the week. The partial buffet provided and excellent selection of salad and fruit. During the evening meal the starter and the main dish was individually prepared. The soups were also worth trying. Dennis the waiter was excellent and deserves an individual mention for his knack of making you feel at home. Sadly he was not on duty on our last day to say thank you to him.

The beach at Tucepi is very pebbly. The hotel pool was very small but never crowded. Often we would have the pool to ourselves.

To sum up excellent friendly staff, very clean and very quiet. An excellent hotel to relax in. I half expected to see Miss Marple sitting in the corner!

Thank you for making our short stay so enjoyable.

Room Tip: The double rooms apparently only have partial view of the sea. Don't let this put you off as the...

“great holiday hotel in lovely Tucepi.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for one week in June 2011 and enjoyed unbroken sunshine though at nearly 34c it was getting almost too hot - July and August can be 38c!

The hotel has about 45 rooms and so is small and friendly, it enjoys a great location in the very centre of Tucepi so you walk out of the hotel which faces the marina and you are right in the heart of things. The guests were mainly eastern european from Bosnia, Slovenia etc with a small number of UK visitors.

Turning left took you to the classier part of Tucepi, while a right turn took you down to the bigger hotels in the resort which are more family orientated and considerably nosier.

We had a side view room, so you could see the sea to the right but also the mountains behind if you looked left and here at about 07.05am every morning the sun popped above the mountain top and bathed Tucepi in sunlight and warmth.

We stayed half board and the food was excellent and you were served at your table dining outside on the terrace by very friendly waiters who all spoke excellent english, it made a change from huge buffets that never change from day to day and after 7 days you really cannot face again.

We had a good size room that was air-conditioned and came with a safe though I think our mini-bar was missing since other guests had one, but it may have been they were in superior rooms as it's nice to have a fridge to put water and milk etc.

The hotel also had full wi-fi which was free, as was the in-room safe.

The hotel is a great place for couples and those with very young children and people who have finally got the children off their hands since evening entertainment is limited and the hotel when we visited offered nothing at all and seemingly never opened the bar, though this may be different in July and August. However, with the cafe's less than 50m from the hotel it was not a problem.

We had a great holiday at the hotel and in the resort and with Croatia still out of the Euro zone, prices were about 40% of what you might pay in Europe so eating and drinking out were very affordable.

As an aside we travelled with Balkan Holidays who were very good and the representative genuinely wanted you to enjoy his country during your stay rather than sell a long list of excursions on commission.

10/10 all round.

“Nice restaurant - boring rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2007
6
people found this review helpful

We booked this hotel for two weeks and got to spend a little too much time in it ... It rained almost every day the last week so we spent a lot of time in our room and in the hotel restaurant.

The rooms were comfortable and boring, the beds okey apart from the very uncomfortable pillows, and the view over the Adriatic beautiful. The hotel is located at the very heart of Tucepi which is a plus.

The staff were very friendly. One waiter even said, after serving coffee to us every morning,: "You just enjoy". Nice and unexpected.
