I have been going to Tucepi, Croatia for the past 5-6 years. Since Hotel Laurentum has opened, I have stood there. The hotel is a baeutiful one that has a gorgeous view of the Adriatic ocean. I f you have a room in the front, i would say that it is the most baeutiful sight. it is better than other views I had seen. The food is great, and they can specialize it to what you like if you ask nicely. The staff is great, especially the manager. He has helped me out plenty of times when I needed it, from finding bus times and cab stations, to even calling his friend to give me a ride. The staff is very friendly and the reception desk people can speak english pretty well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The only thing that I dislike is how they lock the doors at midnight. This is a thing that all hotels do in the area for reasons I don't understand. Why can't the night worker stay up all night and do his job, instead of sleeping, so you have to wake him up when you come home.

Have just returned from 2 weeks in a most beautiful part of Croatia. We stayed at the Hotel Laurentum in Tucepi from 25.9.04 until 9.10.04. Weatherwise, we had two overcast days and 12 days of glorious sunshine. The hotel itself was lovely. Spotlessly clean. The room was large, very well furnished, with a good sized bathroom, which had a large hairdryer. The staff were excellent and most had some English, but the receptionists had very good English. Food: for the first week it was okay, but the second week we ate out a lot because the menu was the same. Apparently this is being changed for next year, according to Holiday Options rep. Eating out is very reasonable, except for fish (which we found strange) which is on a par with UK, but nevertheless cooked beautifully. I personally ate fish 13 nights out of the 14 we were there. There was pork, veal, beautiful steaks, pizzas, omelets, salads, seafood etc. A good variety. The wine was superb, we recommend Dingac and Plancic, both red. We were about 3 hours from Dubrovnic, but took the tour and didn't regret it. Breathtaking views and a lovely city. We also did some boat trips which again were excellent. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, very relaxing and a quiet area at that time of the year. Sea not suitable for small children as the beach dips away quite steeply. But fine for adults and older children. The area is very safe to walk around at night. If there is anything anyone wishes to know, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
