We had a wonderful stay – everything was just lovely! The room was spotless and comfortable, the breakfast was top class. We really enjoyed the pool and bar too. Great atmosphere all around – would happily come back!
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
Clean place, reasonably priced. Lots of good vegan options for food. 15 minute stroll to stari grad. Good tennis courts, hot tub area, organised bike tours, etc
Good location, a short walk from Stari Grad.
Good breakfast options and the room was quite nice.
Music round the pool was questionable.
Decent value for money overall.
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 The rooms were however really small, very outdated and not so clean.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.
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

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
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.
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.
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 :(
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!
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.
The good....
The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful.
The decor and ambience of the hotel was wonderful.
The cleanliness was just perfect.
The bathrooms had great water pressure and nice toiletries
The bad.....
Extra charge for sun loungers on the beach
Extra charge to switch beach towels
Menu and food was not to our taste, heavily into fish and meat or fake meat. Could improve by adding vegetable based dishes.
The room was quite noisy for sleep, we were closest to the entrance.
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.
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!
