Amazing full service summer resort. Safe and good for family get aways
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Positives: We've really enjoyed with our stay in Places Hotel. Everything was perfect; nature, atmosphere, foods, hotel staff. Strongly recommended. Negatives: - S rooms are really small if the room is important, but it was not an issue for us since we really liked the shared areas of Hotel. - Pillows were uncomfortable :(
Tugce, 4-night trip

Best hotel in Hvar Island
Great place to stay and will surely come back. Stari Grad is very cosy as a town and great bars and restaurants there. The hotel restaurant and the fact they have a live DJ every day at the pool area makes you want to stay at the Places hotel all the time and don’t have to walk to town. Amazing breakfast as well! Don’t go to Hvar and stay somewhere else. Worth every penny!
Johan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Awesome experience.
We were totally awed by the place. Staff bent over backwards and the management is doing everything it can to be eco friendly. We definitely plan to return
Nancy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay at the Place Hotel was very nice. Great room (actually small, but it hardly bothered us) and a great pool area. We find the flexible half-board option really great, but unfortunately, there was very little choice for vegetarians. We would particularly like to highlight the massage by Dragana. We haven't been massaged so well and, above all, in such a relaxed and courteous atmosphere for a long time. Thank you very much for that!
Sven, 8-night trip

Perfect late summer break away
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

10/10 Exceptional

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.

The need to visit hotel
Best hotel I have ever been to. The island is so peaceful and picturesque. The hotel is just a chill place to stay with amazing vibes. The fitness coach Sasa was amazing and offered SUP yoga every morning outside regular schedule.

Excellent property. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommended. My daughter and I danced to an excellent DJ. The pool area and location is fabulous.

The amenities at this resort are amazing! The access to both sea and pool are awesome, food/drinks are great and the staff were so helpful. Amazing experience! We loved the shuttle access to hvar town and the walking distance to Stari grad!

Great place, overly expensive
Really nice place. Very expensive to buy food and drinks. A little bit isolated. Dodgy electrics in every room
Jonathan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Heather, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Michael, 3-night trip

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.
Neil, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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
rocio, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
