Fodor's Expert Review Rixos Libertas

This large five-star property spills down a rugged cliff between Lapad and the Old Town, and it makes excellent use of its space with three restaurants, libraries to browse, Ping-Pong and pool tables, a huge outdoor pool and sundeck beside the private beach, and a fantastic spa that includes a full-size Turkish hammam, salt room, and even an igloo. It is located a short drive away from the Old Town, Lapad, and Gruž, so it makes a good base from which to explore the rest of town; there is also a car-rental agency on-site so it makes a smart start or end point for a road trip. A delightful varied breakfast is included and half-board options are available. The Rixos also offers heavy discounts through the off-season, and its fabulous indoor facilities make it a great option for a winter getaway.
