Espacios comunes muy agradable, desayuno muy completo.
Habitaciones un poco pequeñas, el baño no era acorde al resto del hotel. El piso cerca de la pileta era resbaloso.

Die Lage war sensationell. Man konnte konnte in 15 Minuten in die Stadt laufen. Oder für 2 Euro mit dem Taxiboot nach Starigrad fahren.
Das Frühstück war auch lecker und immer frisches Obst. Optimal war dass man das Geld für die Halbpension wie eine Art Konto führte und auch an der Bar für Getränke verwenden konnte.
Das Abendessen sah immer sehr gut aus. Aber leider war es oft nicht lecker. Es fehlt an Gewürz. Wir habe daher öfter mal Ausser Haus gegessen.
Es wurde als lebendiges Hotel mit DJ beschrieben.
Wenn DJ s spielten , dann eher als Hintergrund Musik. Das war leider sehr schade.

Bel hôtel avec belle piscine ! L’endroit est plutôt calme. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et très bon
La chambre était assez petite. Salle de bain un peu vétuste avec un trou dans le mur, mérite d’être refaite.

El entorno es espectacular y las hamacas, camas balinesas... Maravilloso
El personal o estaba agotado ya de todo el verano o era desagradable per se. Les pedías cocktails y se te reían en la cara o ponían mala cara.
En booking pagamos más por una habitación con vistas al mar y no fue así. Protestamos pero no había disponibilidad así que nos bajaron el precio y nos dieron un vale para una cena para cada uno.

The location, the layout of the resort, the food and beverage offering and the staff were all very good. It was very comfortable and also enjoyable, given that the resort has a modern touch.
As in many resorts, there is a rush in the early morning of guests "claiming" the sun beds. So, if you are particular about sun beds and/or location by the pool, wake up early.

+ Frühstück top
+ Personal ist nett
+++ Cocktails haben superschöne Gläser und sind hübsch angerichtet, sind perfekt gemixt
+ die Katzen werden toleriert und nicht verscheucht
+ Zimmer sind sauber, alles ist extrem hygienisch
+ Einrichtung und Stil des Hotels sind herausragend :)
+ Betten sind sehr bequem
+ das Personal schimpft einen nicht sofort, wenn man etwas macht, das nicht erlaubt ist 👍🏻 (wie in anderen Hotels, wo man angeschrien wird, wenn man sich mit dem Bikini in die Lobby verirrt)
+ der Vorsaisonspreis ist sehr fair
+ die Goodies am Nachttisch sind lustig
- das Reinigungspersonal lungert am Pool-DamenWC herum, egal ob männlich oder weiblich. Können auch nicht zurückgrüßen. Schauen einen nur deppat an.
- StrandWC ist zugesperrt?!?!
- Beachbar hat nicht offen.
- Adults only wäre optimal 😂

Loved the amenities offered at the property. Breakfast / food was great throughout the day. Amazing place to relax by the pool / sea.
Our room faced the pool and the dance music was played until midnight. It made it difficult to sleep until the music ended.
4.5
The ambience created by the different terraces from the pool to the beach, shaded by pine trees. Rooms were in a calmer area which was nice. AC was perfect. The meals were really top quality and reasonably priced
They were in construction just below our apartment but it was properly fenced so as to occlude the ugly view
We couldn’t use our half board credit for lunch because at noon our bracelets got reseted for the next day
4.0
Location and amenities were great. Staff friendly and well trained and educated. You can see that Valamar invested in training people and hotel amenities.
Cleaning of the hotel was bad. A guest left a pizza box in a hall room and it stayed there for 3 days until we warned them to remove it. Cleaning lady didn’t clean our bathroom for 3 days until we warned them on reception. Bathrooms are not renovated or they are slightly renovated. This is Valmar strategy on other hotels too. We are regular guests in their other hotels too and they never renovate the bathrooms so they are very bellow all other amenities.
4.5
Close to the sea and not far away from the old town where you can take a nice walk.
Perhaps the room were to small. However I usually don’t spend so much time in the room so it didn’t brother me so much.
4.5
The breakfast; the choice was amazing and very well presented, with every dietary requirement covered.
The varied classes available, the live music/DJ and the extra activities such as wine tasting were great 😊
The bathroom looked a bit tired in comparison to the bedroom. There shouldn’t be a charge for sun loungers on the beach for the guests.

bought sun cream , of which i can only assume the quality was more of a body cream than sun cream both my wife and i were burnt badly after applying the cream thinking that it would protect us from the sun .

All together, there was nothing to complain. Instead, we have had an incredible time.
5.0
The hotel offered a lot for a great price. There was a nice dining hall and bar, plus two other bars at the pool, and beach. The menus at all the different places had a lot of options. The walk path into Stari Grad was easily accessible and took about 10 minutes to get into town with places along the way in the event you wanted to stay closer to the hotel. Will definitely stay here again when we are back in Croatia!
Everything was amazing!
4.0
Lovely resort with great pool facilities, Bali beds, comfortable sunbeds and access to the sea. Flexi board option is great with 25 euro credit per person per night to spend as you please with breakfast included without cost. Transfer to and from Hvar port to hotel can be arranged by hotel for a cost of 10 euro per person minus tips for driver- something they should advertise more due to lack of Uber. (Quoted taxi cost was €60 from port to hotel so definitely use the hotel shuttle)
Breakfast is very suited towards Mediterranean diet with meats, cheeses, fish etc. However good pastry selection, cereals, and fruits etc. The lunch/dinner selection is much more limited and exact same offerings- something I think many guests have agreed upon.
Rooms are very small, and maid services are not good at all- worst part about the hotel. Room was not cleaned during our stay.
4.0
Everything is fine. Sport trainer Sasha and daily activities, trips excellent. Proper food. We liked that you can pay all with the watch, so I can be wallet free. Chill ambient, cool guests too. Place has good style and good guests. DJ and music is very important because it gives it a chill ambient. We will be back for sure.
Daily food offer is always the same. I didn't know there was spa/massage. It should be advertized on the screens better. Same for boat trips. Sport trainer Sasha helped us a lot.
3.0
The ground were very nice. The pool, gareden lounge and beach was very clean and was the highlight of the hotel. They also had an app which made it easy to see what was on and room balances. Although a little harder to get to, Stari Grad is a very nice small fishing town. Some lovely restraunts and quate buildings, 15 min walk.
The service was a bit clumsy, we asked about transfers on the seemed to be difficult to get the full answer. Had to do some quizing to get all the details. We were also charged with a massage which was pointed out upon check out. After they investigated, it turns out someone had put it under tge wrong room. We could have easily been overcharged. The restraunt in the afternoon/lunch was also not the best (greesy pizzas and dry burgers) we thought there would be more option and a little tastier considering this was what we had to pay for. A little dissapointing when comparing to the large dispaly of breakfast options. We also had lights out in the room, ants in the bathroom and there seemed to be a lot of glass being broken near the pool (didnt seem very safe) no staff seemed to man the pool incase of emergency/safety.

An employee, Luka, went out of his way to rescue us when we couldn't find the resort. He also was very good at explaining the way our meal plan worked. Very good employee.
Food was not that good.
4.0
lovely pool and outdoor area, the €25 euros to spend a day was great, lovely food, breakfast selection and cocktails. 10 minute walk along the water to Stari Grad’s restaurants and cafes.
small room, paid for a sea view but view was unfortunately blocked by trees so couldn’t see the sea whatsoever. the room wasn’t cleaned one day and the shower was leaking onto the floor. noisy aircon in room along with smell when we first walked into the room.
4.0
the accommodation is lovely. it has all you need and the staff is kind. food prices were fine, breakfast was perfect and had a lot to offer (oisters, whine, smoothies, hot meals etc.). beach and pool area are perfect.
the cleaning was not that great. when we came in the room there were hairs from other people still there (everything else was clean enough). we brought our dog which looses hair of course. the cleaning ladies were afraid of our dog (big, and barks for a second when you walk in) so they wouldnt clean our room. the one time they did they used a wet swiffer, but that doesnt really do much when you have dog hairs. would recommend a vacuumcleaner instead, and heads up on the expected cleaning time so we could have made sure that the dog was out of the room so the cleaning ladies can do their job without stress. but i do understand that that may also be not that easy.
we went in may and the price was perfect at the time, dont think it is worth the amount of money when you go in high season. but still a really lovely place to stay.

The swimming pool and the outside area was excellent. The food was good.
The elevator was out of order and our air condition did not work.

Everything. Super nice little extras in room like beach towels. Food super yummy. Breakfast is best I had in Croatia.
no complaints I would have liked to stay longer
3.5
The bedroom and view from the balcony was great. Very comfy bed. Fruit and water in the room was a nice touch. The outside facilities were superb but the weather made them unusable which was a shame. All the staff were great and had great customer service. Special mention to the girl who makes the fabulous omelettes at breakfast and Luka on reception.
The evening dinner offering lacked choice and imagination. For e.g 5 out of the 6 hot starters were all pasta based. There were technical issues with the i-pad ordering system which needs sorting out. The ceiling in the restaurant needs finishing off.
