Such an enjoyable and relaxing place to stay!
Pros:

The pools were lovely. The location by the ocean was beautiful. The proximity to the old town and biking destinations was excellent. The food was delicious. The facilities were clean and in excellent condition. The staff were friendly. The ambiance was so relaxing and calming. We enjoyed the background music and the DJ’s music selection. We have already recommended this resort to our family and friends. The digital food ordering system was efficient and effective.

Cons:

The bathroom was small. Very tight toilet area.

Fabulous stay ! Excellent staff, facilities and location
Pros:

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at PLACES! We were staying in the M double which was plenty of space for 2 people, and we had a great balcony with a view of the ocean. The facilities were fab and if it was warmer we would have definitely made use of the pool. There is plenty of sunbeds/loungers as well.

The staff were very accommodating and so kind. We had massages booked on the morning of our checkout, and they let us keep one of the rooms until later so we could use the shower after our massages and before we set off.

The concierge service was wonderful and always so keen to help! I believe her name was Nadia? But she was fab, and helped us book a vineyard and also a car for our trip. The girls at the front desk were also amazing and were always available to help with any questions, and always looking for a solution!

The hotel works on a credit basis where you have €30 per person each day, and can be used on food/drink/spa treatments which is super handy! At times the tech could be a bit of a pain to sort out and sometimes the app wouldn’t update but all in all it was a good way to get your moneys worth

The hotel is a 20min walk into Starigrad too which is very handy

Would absolutely reccomend!

Cons:

Everything was great!
