With more than a thousand rooms, two pools, 11 tennis courts, four restaurants, salons, a cinema, galleries and markets on-site, this recently renovated resort is less a hotel than a rambling, raucous village (or – with its nightly entertainment schedules and karaoke parties – a beached cruise ship). Fans of Yugoslav architecture will find its spacious socialism-meets-Spanish-Mission aesthetic fascinating. Some facilities are also open to nonguests.
