Location was a little bit outside the town, about a 15 minute walk but the walk itself is gorgeous. It was so pretty, so we happily walked in each night. The hotel is amazing, we got an upgraded room with a balcony and it was great, so spacious. We loved it. Room cleaned daily was great. The breakfast had great choices and the staff were lovely. There were sunbeds beside the sea so you could sunbath and swim - staff also on hand to bring food and drinks. We really enjoyed it. Also you can ask reception for sunbathing towels which was amazing as we had forgotten to bring our own, really nice touch. Reception were able to book us a taxi.

The food and drinks are a little expensive, but you are staying in a really nice hotel so the prices reflect that. We ate mostly in the town so it didn't bother us! One night when we asked for extra toilet paper, the night duty staff tried to make us pay for it... which was a bit crazy. That was the only bad experience..

Staff was very nice and accommodating. They made reservations at a restaurant for us (Pizzeria Primi Piatti - Great meal and the appetizer 'PIATTO di MARE' was fantastic) and called a taxi for us) The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was great, they had a variety of foods and beverages, (Fruit, eggs, crepe's, croissants, sausage, etc.) And the view from the Seaside (private beach area) was Fantastic! The hotel is about a 15min walk from the Old town, but there is a seaside path that leads all the way to the town. It's a great walk with a wonderful view! (We walked it several times a day)

We had absolutely no complaints. I don't understand other peoples reviews about the rooms or buffet. The rooms aren't a North American modern room, they are a European style room. You're in Europe, enjoy their culture!

Amazing staff that maked our trip even more enjoyable, they were all nice, helpful and professional. Excellent food in the restaurant, one of the best tbone steak we ever ate. Increible localization, not too far and not too close to Hvar. If you like to relax this is perfect. Good place to walk, run, swim. 20 min to Hvar with beatiful path next to sea. Nice sauna and pool with sea view. Flexible way of use. Next door diving center.

Have in mind to arrange some transport on first day to hotel if you dont have any car. The 20 min walk from Hvar is nice and pleasent but not after whole day trip and with baggage. You can take taxi or boat taxi. Breakast could have some more vararity. Nice shower after sauna and pool is 2 min away from it which make it less confortable. Also not really hygenic bath mats, they shiudl changw it for sth more clean. Room we had a little bit too dark and small for 10 days stay. Check to have sea view one

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Podstine! The best thing about this hotel is it’s amazing location - it has it’s own private beach area with steps straight into the ocean. There are loads of loungers and seats on different levels and a bar looking out onto the sea. When we arrived they upgraded us for no extra charge to a superior room with a stunning view. We didn’t ask for this - they just did it which we were so thankful for! The staff were so helpful and friendly - they made us feel really welcome. The hotel is clean, tastefully decorated and has a sense of calm about it. It was lovely to be a little further away from the busy town and nightlife but still within walking distance to the centre with all the restaurants and bars. Hvar town has just the right amount of buzz to it and as a couple we felt there was the perfect balance of tranquility and nightlife. Although we didn’t use the spa, it was great to have the option and it looked really nice.

The breakfast was nice and there was lots of choice but we felt there could have been a little more to it. This is us being really picky though! The bathroom was quite small, the shower cubicle was poky and the bathroom itself felt a little tired in comparison with the lovely bedroom - could do with a refurb. We felt the hotel could do a little more to help with guests reserving loungers by putting their towels down and then disappearing for literally hours.

The Podstine on Hvar is located in its own cove outside of town. It's quiet and relaxing to be there. But I think the hotel has seen better days, and it seems there is a lack of investment in the services and infrastructure. I think if we ever visit Hvar again (and it is beautiful) we would stay in town.

It feels like it needs a refresh as the furniture, rooms, and fittings are aging and poorly designed. Curtains puddle on the floor or don't fully close, for example. You have to unplug the bedside table lamp to charge your phone. In this day and age, not having enough electrical outlets conveniently placed is unacceptable.

Love the location 15 min nice walk from old town. Views from the hotel are stunning and the reception level terrace is quiet and peaceful. The ‘beach’ area is great, very comfortable, lovely area to swim, lots of different seating areas for lounging or dining. Spa and gym is decent size. The restaurant and bar team are very friendly and attentive. Housekeeping was good.

I booked an economy room and while small size was as expected it smelled damp and the bathroom shower was outdated with a dodgy door and the drain kept filling up. The tab system for food and drink doesn’t itimize price so it’s hard to keep track of spend and reconcile your bill at the end.

The beach area of the hotel was absolutely stunning. We spent most of our time lounging on one of the many day beds and jumping in and out of the sea. We spent a little time in the pool, which was very nice but small. It was a great place to relax outside of Hvar town, but still close enough that we could walk in for dinner/drinks. The hotel staff were really great and quick with requests even when very busy. We enjoyed one lovely dinner at the hotel and the included breakfast was also nice.

Some of the facilities felt a bit outdated. For example, there were water stains on our rooms ceiling that should be addressed and our bathroom was in need of an upgrade. But overall this didn't really impact our experience at the hotel, would just recommend for future upgrades.

Amazing, paradise to rest, slow down and enjoy ! I felt really soothed and relaxed in this atmosphere; we loved spending time on the private beach reading and drinking hotel cocktails, running along the water's edge in the mornings to Hvar and swimming in our little private beach. We have also been to the gym which were little but suffisant for a quick workout. The breakfast and the view are fantastics.

The level of the restaurant was not as the level of the hotel and we were not able to book a massage as it seems to be closed when we where there. But overall the experience there was even better than what we expected !!

Out of our entire trip to Croatia, both my fiance and I agree that this resort was the highlight. It was right on the water with an amazing view of the sea and the most comfortable area to lie out in the sun. Our room was pretty large for having only booked the standard size, and we had a nice balcony as well. The included breakfast was also delicious. It was also in walking distance to the outdoor Hula Hula which is a must go.

One minor comment about our room was that we didn't have much of a view as a large palm tree was right in front of it, but that helped add to the island vibe. One other thing to note is that to get to the main part of town for dinner it is a flat rate of 20 euros one way.

The location is on the sea-front just a 20 minute walk from Hvar Old Town. Close enough to be accessible to restaurants and bars and far enough to be quiet at night. The Podstine has a resort-like feel with a beautiful sunbed and bar/restarant area in front of the sea, which is crystal clear and wonderful for swimming. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The pulsing sound of the swimming pool pump at night was disturbing. It was a pity that this noise was allowed to disturb the otherwise tranquility of the hotel at night.
