The staff were amazing, the pool and beach area are beautiful and the air con in the building was crispy! Quick water taxi to Stari Grad from the beach area was 2 euro and worth it. This is a great spot for a relaxing and convenient stay

A litle dissapointing

Nice breakfast. The rooms were however really small, very outdated and not so clean. The standard of the resort was in general average. The pictures looked better than the reality.

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.

Bad food. Noisy rooms. Staff was not happy at all and one night we waited about 20 mins to get a watered down drink. We both got sick after being there.

Wonderful vacation

A wonderful summer vacation in a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel is located in a beautiful pine park in the bay near Stari Grad, Hvar. Everything is very unique about the guesthouse, but the friendly worker at reception explained everything to us upon arrival. We all received a bracelet to pay for food and drinks and to open the room. The balance can always be checked on the app on the phone. The place is really wonderful with two swimming pools and close to the sea. The staff is very friendly from Stefan, who always find time to talk to each guest individually. Charge of the kitchen surprises me with his knowledge of gluten-free food, for which I regularly receive advice. All of the staff are cheerful and smiling but with wonderful smile during meals refreshes the whole day. The music by the pool is fantastic, with different DJs, and we must praise the girl with the violin who perfectly fits into the sound of mixed good old and new hits. Guests have free sunbeds in the park and next to the swimming pool, which completes the wonderful and high-quality offer. If you want the atmosphere of a small town on the coast, you can walk along the sea to the center of Stari Grad with its restaurants and cafes.

Not sure we would return.

Not sure if we would return. Positives are breakfast was good and varied, location is good if you want somewhere beautiful and quieter but then the hotel counteracts that with playing awful loud music. Paid extra for sea view to only see trees. Rooms are tiny and bathrooms have not been updated in the refurb, just tiles painted. The food was pretty awful for lunch/dinner and they had run out of most things on our last night due to a delivery/order mix up. Service was also hit and miss. Our shower didn’t drain and they did sort it promptly, however on the day we arrived they were very unhelpful with providing support with getting from Stari Grad ferry port - the shuttle bus was booked in for service so tough luck we were on our own. They should have provided discounted taxis for guests if the shuttle (advertised on their website) was out of service.

Before you start reading this I am working my way through 7 excellent reviews of our travels around Croatia for our honeymoon. We selected to stay here for 2 nights and it was the low point of our travels. The name and photos of the room we chose were very misleading. Described as “seafront” but not at all close to the sea our room was on the ground floor looking out onto some grass with no view of the sea at all, we had to keep our curtains draw to stop people walking past looking into our room. It was also incredibly small and cramped, we could not open our suitcases on the floor. The ok looking bathroom in the photos was not what we got at all. It was tiny, with a leaking shower, with the most basic of everything. I have given a high rating for this hotel being eco friendly, this is based on the fact that they have a single bar of soap wrapped in cardboard that serves as your hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Despite being eco-friendly this isn’t pleasant for guests. At the front desk they offer shuttles into town and to the ferry port but these run so irregularly it’s not really an option. The pool was nice until they started playing loud house music that you couldn’t escape. Staff are generally uninterested and the whole hotel seems to be designed around as little interaction with guests as possible. Breakfast selection was good as was location Ultimately, our time here was the low point of our honeymoon despite being in the most beautiful area. Avoid.

I travelled with my husband and we stayed for 3 nights. It was a great short trip! The resort is beautiful and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The bathrooms were okay, they did not match the vibe of the rest of the hotel, but everything still worked. We had an issue with our balcony door and it was promptly fixed. There is wifi all over the resort including the lobby and the pool area. The buffet breakfast was my favourite part of the trip, the selection had everything you can imagine. The rest of the food was quite delicious too, including pizza, pasta and seafood. The staff were nice enough, but I found that when I spoke Croatian they changed their attitude and were more friendly towards me (I speak English with my husband). Overall I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity came up!

Top frühstücks, große Auswahl für jeden etwas dabei, auch vegane Alternativen. Super Idee mit dem Flexi Busget von 25€ pro Person. Kann sowohl für Essen als auch Getränke den ganzen Tag über ausgegeben werden. Wir haben dies meist für Getränke genutzt, jeden Abend waren auch noch 1 bis 2 Cocktails dabei, so eine Auswahl habe ich noch nie gesehen, wow! Bar am Meer war auch sehr schön, hier lässt sich der Tag genießen. Das Personal war auch super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Anlage war schön ruhig gelegen, Stari Grad Town ist zu Fus sehr hut erreichbar, der Weg führt direkt am Meer bzw. Hafen entlang. Auch Ausflüge mit dem Taxi in andere Städte sind problem und schnell möglich, nur nicht ganz günstig, da die Taxis hier ein Monopol haben. Die Zimmergröse S ist etwas klein, Badezimmer sehr eng, eignet sich eher als Einzelzimmer. Da aber meist wenig Zeit im Zimmer verbracht wird , in Ordnung. Sauberkeit könnte besser sein, alleridings kann per App eine Nachbesserung angeordnet werden, dies hat auch direkt reibungslos funktioniert. Lange erreichbar hut Idee.

Áreas sociais lindas, mas quartos pequenos.

As áreas comuns do hotel eram lindas e ótimas. Café da manhã excelente! Porém o quarto era bem pequeno, sem frigobar. O quarto era bem decorado, porém o banheiro era minúsculo, escuro e opressor. Quanto ao serviço de shuttle Entre Hvar Town e Stari Grad achamos caro. São 30 euros por pessoa ida e volta. Poderia ser um serviço oferecido pelo hotel ou um valor mais simbólico.

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
