An upmarket well-equipped but characterless large-scale choice which enjoys stunning scenic views of either the sea and islands or the bay and village. It ticks all the boxes except the one marked personality and although comfortable, is stuck with its 1970s design origins. Lots of steps around the property and down to the waterside and village won’t suit those with mobility problems. Attracts meetings and conference business.

Exterior

A huge unappealing, multi-leveled, angular 2-to-10-storey 1970s concrete edifice; most rooms have a balcony and a sea view.

Property type: Hotel

Interior

The interior is spacious and modern but rather 1970s in décor - and not in a retro way. A vast open-plan lobby has a black-marbled floor, a few gift shops and groupings of boxy black and lime green leather chairs. A bland bar opens to an attractive cane-furnished terrace benefiting from superb village views across the bay, as does the smart wood-panelled restaurant on the floor below.

Rooms: 487

Grounds

The property is surrounded by extensive tiered leafy gardens connected by steps. The tiled pool deck is surrounded by shady pine trees and provides ample loungers; an open air a la carte restaurant is adjacent. Steep steps led to rocky bathing platforms (including one for nudists) on the S side and a flat waterside concrete platform on the N side which also has beds, a dive and watersports centre and a simple bar/grill.

Location

Area Type: Situated on the Sustjepan peninsula, high on a hillside among thickly wooded trees with spectacular views of the bay, islands and village; a long flight of steep stone steps through the trees leads to the waterside and village.
