Odlicna lokacija i trud osoblja ali objekt zahtjeva hitnu obnovu i modernizaciju
Pros:

Prekrasna lokacija, lijep pogled, vrlo ljubazno i susretljivo osoblje koje se zaista trudi te uredna i čista okolina.

Cons:

Objekt je dosta zapušten i iznenađuje me da Valamar održava hotel u ovakvom stanju. Osoblje je izuzetno ljubazno i daje svoj maksimum, no teško je nadoknaditi dojam zastarjelog i nedovoljno održavanog objekta. Sobe su stare i zahtijevaju obnovu, a u kupaonici nema ni osnovnih hotelskih kozmetičkih potrepština poput šampona, već samo dva mala sapuna upitne kvalitete. Hrana je prosječna, prilično jednolična i s vrlo ograničenim izborom.

A pleasant holiday at the Arkada Hotel
Pros:

This is the third time we have been to the Akada Hotel this year. We like to come back here not only because of the clean sea and nice beaches. The hotel is old, but the staff, waiters and cooks do everything to make you feel comfortable. The beds in our room were brand new and all the interior equipment (air conditioning, shower, toilet, TV, etc.) worked without any problems.
However, the equipment of the nearby beaches would deserve more attention. There are no sun loungers, parasols or showers. That is a great shame. The pool inside the hotel is nice, but the sun loungers are always occupied and we definitely do not go to the sea to splash around in the hotel pool full of chlorine. We could do that at home. Investing in the adjacent beaches would definitely be worth it.

Ugodan boravak, cijena smještaja odgovara smještajnoj jedinici. Uglavnom zadovoljni.
Pros:

Lokacija odlična. Doručak raznovrstan.
Hotel iz 80-ih godina prošlog stoljeća.

Cons:

Primjedba je da nema sušila za kosu.

Boravak je dobar ako ga sebi takvim učinite i mane zanemarite. Nećemo se vraćati u ovaj objekat.
Pros:

Osoblje hotela je izuzetno!
Prijatni, kulturni, uljudni, uvijek lijepo raspoloženi, zbog njih je utisak o cjelokupnom ljetovanju pozitivniji.

Cons:

Soba u kojoj smo bili smješteni nije bila adekvatna za boravak sa bebom. Tri kreveta, pri tome bračni krevet razdvojen s dva dušeka, drugi krevet značajno niži, nismo ga mogli ni sastaviti sa bračnim. Zbog stvari s kojima smo došli kao i pomenutih kreveta, jedva smo se kretali unutar sobe. Rezervacija sa naznakom o bebi do godinu dana apsolutno nije imala nikakav značaj. Hrana je bila prosječnog kvaliteta, dosta je variralo, od nejestivog menija do prosječno dobrog obroka. Izbor je bio minimalan.

Pros:

Fenomenalan odmor!
Hotel jeste stariji i nije previše moderan, ali je sve čisto i uredno, što nam je bilo najbitnije.
Pogled sa terase na bazen i more je prelep i zaista pravi ugođaj.
Spremačice svakodnevno menjaju peškire i održavaju apartman, što je veliki plus.
Hrana je odlična, a brunch nam se posebno dopao.
Osoblje je izuzetno ljubazno, organizovano i uvek spremno da pomogne, sve funkcioniše brzo i bez komplikacija.
Plaža je predivna, sa mirnom uvalom gde se čuju samo more i ptičice - idealno za opuštanje.
Do Starog grada Hvara se stiže lako peške, a postoji i brodski taksi za dodatnu praktičnost.
Sve u svemu, prelepo i nezaboravno iskustvo - tople preporuke! 🌊✨

Cons:

Sve mi se svidelo.
