[PLACES] Hvar by Valamar

We loved our stay here and especially enjoyed the warm and friendly staff at the hotel. Special mention to Sara L who went that extra mile to make our stay so comfortable and enjoyable! She had some great suggestions for places to go on Hvar and beyond. We hope to come back really soon.

Beeyana was an amazing server. My wife ordered a coffee with almond milk and Beeyana recognized that it was the wrong order upon delivery. Very friendly and great server. A+

We loved Starigrad and the Places Hotel. The flexi half board was a perfect option for us allowing us to spend our credit on lunch and drinks while enjoying the lovely restaurants in the town. Some days we walked in - a nice 15 minute stroll round the bay - and other days we took the cute water taxi (just 2 euro each). The serving staff and food at the hotel were great. The only slight gripe was the size of the room and the rather superficial nature of the housekeeping which we fed back on. Plenty of different lounging space around the pool and the DJ was a nice touch - not intrusive but played good music.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful, Sara L greeted us professionally and helpfully every morning, always making us feel welcome and giving us great local tips of where to visit. Super clean hotel, beautiful clear water, easy stroll into Starigrad which is phenomenal, great restaurants.

Great place . Clean , lovely staff and made very welcome. Great to have water on tap all the time . Food ok , although menus limiting so ate out most nights . Lovely water taxi into village . Swimming at in the sea was a bit rustic - more needs to be made to tidy up that area ! Unfortunately a few families came from next door hotel and the kids took over the pool with lilos etc and staff did not remove them or notice they were not guests ! Overall great stay.

Great place to stay! Fabulous breakfast and great drinks. Nice pool and water taxi was great to get around.

As áreas comuns do hotel eram lindas e ótimas. Café da manhã excelente! Porém o quarto era bem pequeno, sem frigobar. O quarto era bem decorado, porém o banheiro era minúsculo, escuro e opressor. Quanto ao serviço de shuttle Entre Hvar Town e Stari Grad achamos caro. São 30 euros por pessoa ida e volta. Poderia ser um serviço oferecido pelo hotel ou um valor mais simbólico.

Great location on island of Hvar, near old town, beautyfull outside area with bars, pool, gym. Really great service with experienced staff, impressive cocktail list and great food in general. Stands out the ability of the staff to serve every meal and drink in time with really postive atitude tu guests.

Hotel, stuff service are EXCELENT. Location, food cocktails and vibe make this hotel my destination in the 2026 as well. I can't wait to go there next year.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant, and I must say the food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations, from the appetizers to the desserts. What made the experience truly memorable, however, was the outstanding service we received from Biljana. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional throughout our visit. Biljana took the time to explain the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed at all times — always with a genuine smile. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and passionate about their work. Biljana truly made us feel welcome and cared for. Thanks to her, we’ll definitely be coming back soon!
