Pros (+) Good location, a short walk from the local town and stunning sea views.
Cons (-) The food can be a little repetitive, particularly dinner - and the quality was good, but not the best.

Pros (+) Lovely hotel, great setting, nice layout with different levels for loungers making it feel less crowded. Pools lovely. Room size S was quite small especially bathroom. Air con a little noisy but ok. Food great as flexi half board worked really well.
Cons (-) Sun loungers by beach should be included in cost of stay.

Pros (+) Good location, lovely pool and lots of areas to sunbathe and relax. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. Liked the wrist band system and flexibility to spend on drinks or food.
Cons (-) Despite signs on sunbeds saying there was no reserving of beds when we got up at 9am there were no sunbeds available - most were reserved with towels and when I complained to the staff they said they’d tried but people did it anyway. I feel like if someone just walked around removing towels from beds when people were clearly not using them it would be quite simple to control.

Pros (+) This is an excellent hotel that we enjoyed every day of our stay. It really was above our expectations. It is located at the end of the town, 10-15 minutes on foot. The are is very quiet and enjoyable for sleep (aside a club on the other side across the water, but it worked only a couple of days and the music didn't bother us much). We took M room size which was enough, but we could use a bigger b...
Cons (-) They seemed to have removed some benefits such as soups and water during the day which were completely free just the day before we arrived. They did mention that at the reception that we would have soups, but actually we didn't. There are no grocery shops nearby.

Pros (+) Good value, good food, the staff was really cool and it had a nice beach to swim in. The breakfast was AMAZING.
Cons (-) Getting there was hard. Also our expectations where higher than the reality because of the pictures they took. Finally the jacuzzi closes early so we did not get to enjoy it.

Pros (+) Super place to stay, very stylish, staff could not do enough for us. Food was amazing, great drinks, brilliant place. We really enjoyed it here. Funky bean bag sun loungers available, sun lounger beds, normal sun loungers. This hotel was next to the sea and a short walk from the town, which was lovely.

Pros (+) Perfect location! Stari Grad is a wonderful area when travelling with family and children.
Cons (-) The food options were limited. The lunch and dinner menu was the same and fairly boring. For the cost of the hotel, there should be a complimentry taxi to and from the ferry. We paid £30 for a 10 minute taxi ride. Staff should be more knowledgeable regarding travel services on the island. There was limited options to link streaming services to the television in the room.

Pros (+) Lovely rooms and pool area. Great choice for breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere. 15-minute walk to Stari Grad. Half board option (€25 per person per day) could be spent on food and drinks at any time of the day. I would recommend using your allowance for snacks and drinks and having dinner in the town as there are lovely restaurants there.
Cons (-) Staff were surly and inattentive. Often it felt as though we were an inconvenience when checking out/ordering drinks at the bar. This was surprising as staff in all the shops and restaurants we have visited in Croatia have always been so helpful and cheerful. The attitude of the staff lets this hotel down as otherwise it would be amazing.

Pros (+) A great hotel in a fantastic location. We were very happy that we could choose to eat lunch instead of dinner if we wanted to as part of our package. This is a great idea.
Cons (-) The menu was the same every day. There were a few specials on each day but the choice was limited after being there for 7 nights. Therefore we chose to walk into town in the evenings for more choice of food and ate lunch at the hotel instead.
