Beautiful location, and a prime example of luxurious surroundings.
Pros:

The hotel and the room was incredibly elegant. Staying there made one fell very special...like royalty!

Cons:

The pool/spa area was somewhat lacking, and unfortunately, there were all kinds of critters competing for the space--pigeons, flies, yellow jackets. It is probably beyond the control of the staff, but it was distracting and not too pleasant.

Regret & Unfortunate
Pros:

Beautiful location, stunning room design & hotel design. The Beach club was impeccable in terms of services, staff members friendliness and professionalism.

Cons:

During our stay we had to deal with a weather storm forecast and the entire staff and hotel facilities failed to provide the guests with safety and proper meals.

Every-time (apart from the storm day) would make a request at front desk or concierge the staff handled with coldness and rude reply.Did not feel welcomed, and slightly discriminated.
It is outrageous at the standard that the hotel has to treat its guests with rude and lack of profesionalism attitude.
10/10 Would not come back because of the staff poor & rude attitude.

Can’t imagine any place better in Hvar
Pros:

From start to finish, a wonderful stay.

Pros:
Friendly reception at the ferry dock- our ferry docked at the very end so walked midway to find the hotel’s porter and trolley. Very short walk to the lovely hotel that is at the end of the dock with easy entrance from street level. Check in was a breeze although think it must be quite a wait during high season- only two reception desks and one concierge.

Rooms are lovely, spacious, immaculate with an amazing view of the marina (quiet in October) and the best bed ever (perfectly firm). Lovely decor and colors throughout the hotel - very inviting with just enough decadence without being gaudy. The breakfast is table service which is always nice (not a buffet fan in general) with the most over-the-top truffled egg and perfectly crisp pancetta I’ve ever had (need statin). There are also samples of Croatian desserts and cookies to try.

Location is great off season but may be noisy during peak- the old town is at your front/back door. There’s also an outdoor market and supermarket less than a 5 min walk away at the car park - very convenient should you need anything the hotel does not offer (I had no needs but always fun to browse markets when abroad).

The fridge (no minibar) has complimentary water and soda and juice restocked whenever needed, a Nespresso machine.

Little gifts left on your bed with turndown-
Always a nice touch. The left Henessey one night - would have loved rakija.

Service is top notch.

Cons:
Can’t think of anything major that would make me think twice about staying here.
A couple of bleach stains on a few hand towels I never used.
The room does not have a minibar, iron or kettle but they will bring you whatever you need promptly. The hotel bar does not offer a bar food menu which would have been convenient but there are plenty of options outside your door!

It has been a while since I’ve reviewed a hotel 5/5 but it truly was. The best hotel of our trip.

Impeccable
Pros:

This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail is incredible, from the night time turndown service to the impeccable manners of all the staff, Palace Elisabeth did not disappoint. We stayed here 2 nights on our honeymoon and we felt so looked after. This hotel is sheer luxury and we will definitely be back!

Stunningly beautiful hotel and fabulous service!
Pros:

We stayed in a beautiful room with a deck that had a fantastic view overlooking the harbor in this glorious hotel. The wait staff at breakfast was top notch—joyfully recommending dishes and ensuring every detail was perfect. The breakfast was delicious! The checkin/out and baggage delivery to our room and the port was excellent and we received excellent help from the concierge for booking a boat tour. We will absolutely stay here again! Superb hotel!
