Hvar [PLACESHOTEL] by Valamar

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and can’t recommend it highly enough. We travelled as two couples in our thirties and found many other guests were a similar age profile to us. The hotel itself was is very stylish - perfect for those Instagram shots! It’s set in a great location, about a 15-20 minute walk into quaint Stari Grad and right on edge of the sea, so you can easily jump in and cool off. Stari Grad is a lovely town and we explored there a couple of evenings and had some lovely meals. I’ve stayed in Hvar town before and this is definitely more chilled and suitable for families. The food at the hotel was great. Loads of choice at breakfast and we were very impressed you could help yourself to sparkling wine! The flexi-board option worked well and we found there was plenty of choice. Each afternoon there was a DJ by the pool which is in keeping with the vibe of the hotel but in the afternoons we found the bass a bit heavy. It would be great to have a bit more of a chilled vibe for the afternoons by the pool. The staff were all great. We found check in/out a little time consuming, especially when checking out with additional charges for food and drink to the room. Overall this is a great hotel and with the flexi credit, we felt it was really good value for money.
