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.

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

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!
