The Medora Auri hotel has a breathtaking location right on the Adriatic coast, offering stunning sea views from the rooms. While the rooms are spacious and well-equipped, the dining experience can be quite chaotic during breakfast, and the service at times felt rushed and inattentive. The hotel has excellent pool facilities and proximity to local restaurants, enhancing the overall experience, but the additional charges for beach sunbeds felt like a downside to an otherwise enjoyable stay.
