  : It was very close to the beach, hotel is located in the woods. It is a 3 star hotel at its best! Close to Vrboska but Hvar town is around 40 mins by car. Free sunbeds, but as always people were reserving it from early morning.
  : Very evident that hotal is facing a shortage of staff! Too many guests and not enough people servicing it. Unfortunately, surroundings were not maintained well, and the rooms are already getting dated. Maintenance is basic! At the reception students work! Rooms are very small, we could barely walk with a king bed and a kid bed! Breakfast was always the same, however dinner was mostly ok. Good thing is free deinks during dinner (top up wines, beer and juices). On our 2 last nights, they completely cut the ice cream and the quality meat they were serving previously. Entertainment is to cry, ladies are two school kids trying their best but hotel is rally not investing in anything!I wonder what will be of it next year...

  : Situated on a beautiful shore in a natural beautiful bay, with lush forest all around. The whole islet on which it stands is walkable either by shore or through the forest. There are many excellent rocky spots near the water. It's a 15min walk along the shore from a beautiful small town. The rental bikes were of top quality. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The lunch and dinner meals, and desserts, would sometimes be excellent.
  : The staff is comprised mostly of young (some of them I could swear were underage (<18)) and inexperienced workers, most of them seemed like migrant seasonal workers.Depending on the day, the food would either be excellent or bad. The boiled eggs frequently had rock-solid yolk inside them. Most of the food would always be too greasy and/or prepared simplistically with a lot of store-bought seasoning added onto it for taste.One of the chefs was notoriously bad, we would avoid the food he prepared everytime. He couldn't speak English, German nor Croatian properly, and when I asked him which type of fish he was preparing, he tried to ensure me it was the wrong type; so it seemed like he didn't even know what he was preparing.Breakfast was the least favourite meal for us, we usually skipped it because the food would be tasteless/bland (eggs, meats, cheeses).You have to fight for your sunbeds, since there's no regulation on whether some people can take more than they should or even if non-guests can use them.The first day we arrived, someone moved our stuff from the sunbeds while we were swimming in front of them.The last day while we were swimming a group of non-guests surrounded our sunbeds, uncomfortably close so we would have to step over their things to pass. It became uncomfortable to be surrounded by loud uncultured people so we were forced to give up the spot and the sunbeds to them.There's a rule that the sunbeds shouldn't be reserved for too long if you're not using them, but it is not enforced, so usually someone from a room gets up early, takes up a bunch of sunbeds and then leaves, leaving them occupied for half a day without anyone using them.There was only one ladder entrance to the water which was both falling apart and frequently crowded.The bay in front is beset by boats parking or passing all the time, and thus the water often stinks and is dirty.
