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!

Modern , Scandi Vibe
Pros:

We stayed one night at PLACES in Hvar and had a very enjoyable experience. We arrived on an extremely rainy day, but that certainly did not dampen our impression of the hotel. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming, modern, and very different in a good way.

This is definitely a hotel that embraces technology and eco-conscious living, and it combines the two surprisingly well. A great example was when I ordered an iron through the TV system using the remote control. The first available delivery slot showed as 9 am, so I expected to wait, but it pleasantly arrived much earlier. Small touches like this made the stay feel very efficient and modern.

When you check in, you are given wristbands which act as your room key as well as a payment method around the hotel, with everything added up at the end of your stay. It took us a little time as more mature guests to understand how everything worked, but the staff explained the dinner arrangements and facilities very clearly and were very helpful throughout.

There was an excellent variety at breakfast, with plenty of choice, and the overall vibe of the hotel feels fresh, energetic, and aimed at a younger crowd looking for a lively atmosphere.

As more mature travellers, we personally enjoyed staying during the quieter shoulder season. We think that during the busy summer months it could become quite crowded and noisy, which may not suit everyone, especially if you prefer a calmer environment. That said, for our one-night stay, we had a really positive experience and would happily return again — particularly outside the peak season.

We had a great time. The water is gorgeous! We really liked the staff & the drinks. The decor was super cute! W
Pros:

This is more like a resort so you end up hanging out at the pool and ordering food & drinks a lot! The decor is really cool & well done. The bars are great & the staff are incredibly nice. Everyone speaks English which is so helpful. The breakfast is OFF the hook. You will not be hungry for lunch! The bed was comfy!

Cons:

It was quite pricey, maybe not as expensive as a resort in Hawaii but definitely not Croatian prices. Our room was nice but super small.
