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.
