Excellent

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.
Pleasant stay with everything you need and more for an island break away. Hotel has loads of activities which we didnt even get to as we were exploring all the other things on the island and neighbouring islands
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.
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.

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.
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.

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

Great place, overly expensive
Really nice place. Very expensive to buy food and drinks. A little bit isolated. Dodgy electrics in every room
