Great place . Clean , lovely staff and made very welcome. Great to have water on tap all the time . Food ok , although menus limiting so ate out most nights . Lovely water taxi into village . Swimming at in the sea was a bit rustic - more needs to be made to tidy up that area ! Unfortunately a few families came from next door hotel and the kids took over the pool with lilos etc and staff did not remove them or notice they were not guests ! Overall great stay.

This property was designed with the guest experience in mind. The resort was full of game, nooks, hammocks, bars, and free pool beds that didn’t have to be reserved. We stayed in a Valamar property in Dubrovnik afterwards based on our good experience

Really fantastic stay, great location! The flexi half board was brilliant and plenty of choice. I would have given 5 stars however they have a no pool bed reservation policy, however by 08:30 all of the beds have been reserved and also not in use for many hours with no effort to uphold this policy at all so unless your down before 8am there’s no chance of a bed by the pool.

Had an absolute amazing time at this hotel last week, the location right next to the beach was brilliant. The pool is an amazing way to have a relaxing time. Although slightly on the small side, the rooms were very clean and having a balcony was nice. The spa was very enjoyable and also very well priced.

We had a wonderful experience at Places. It is a beautiful property with a great vibe. What made it even more enjoyable was the staff. Martha was wonderful and gave great tips on places to visit. Miheala was a great concierge and planned a wonderful wine tasting excursion for us. We had an issue with my bank card and Marissa went above and beyond to fix it. I cannot say enough about the team of people working in the hotel!

After the crowds of Split, Places was the perfect resort for our group of 8. The property is thoughtfully curated for young people and young at heart. Great technology is used throughout the experience. We saw a lot of firsts at this resort. Also, the included breakfast was a hit. It was fantastic. The rooms are small but efficiently designed. We could not think of a more magical place to stay in Hvar. Stari Grad was so much better than staying in the extremely busy Hvar Town.

Stari Grad Gem

Fantastic resort with spacious, clean, quiet rooms. Beach area is nice with a shower. Free extensive breakfast and 25 Euro voucher per person per day for food and drinks. Staff was polite and helpful. Only complaint is that they charge guests extra for umbrellas and chairs on the resort property on their own beach. That wasn’t cool.

Far and expensive to Hvar, 2€ charge for beach towel change (so if it was dirty and you stayed 5 days, you had to keep or pay), no phone in room so you have to go downstairs every time you need help or are missing towel or things in room), not much variety of food

We loved our stay!! This hotel is fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The half board concept works fantastically and allows complete flexibility. The food is very good and breakfast included also fantastic, this is buffet style but includes everything from continental to cooked to oysters to fresh juices and more!! The rooms are clean. The staff really make this place, always very helpful. The entire hotel pretty much runs off an app you download on checkin so that may cause some people issues although I am sure the staff would help. We had issues with transfer when we arrived however on the way back to the ferry the hotel organised this and was only 5 euro each so would definitely recommend contacting them to do both ways.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The most disappointing and worst resort experience of my life. This place is a total joke of a hotel. Very few staff that only service you via a QR code ordering system. Broken A/C in the unit where we were given generic responses but it never got fixed during our stay. Snarky responses from staff. Sunbeds (the only seating) that are part of the hotel near the water are additional charges. Exteremely far away from downtown Hvar with cabs that charge you 80 euro to get back and forth from the hotel.

Not quite how it was marketed

This hotel did not live up to the marketing campaign. This is a party place, for example we used the noisy air con system to drown out the music outside at 11pm. At £200 + per night it is very expensive and not a place for relaxing. The beds are uncomfortable and rooms look like a slightly upgraded premier inn. The bathroom did not have a refurb and brown paint slapped on the tiles. If you’re a young couple and looking for a party scene it would be a great place to go however if you’re looking for some tranquil and chill, it is not. The food was expensive so your 25 euro allowance disappears instantly. Although, having said this, the food was good quality and the breakfast selection was epic. Strari grad is a beautiful village but the Americanised hotel does not match with the beautiful character of the village it is and the respect it deserves. The hotel location means it is only a nice scenic 10 minutes walk.
