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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
