Independent Croatian Islands hotels

"Would go again!"

"Amazing location and beautiful rooms . Great breakfast buffet. Will definitely go back "

"We enjoyed our stay at Podestine. The staff were friendly. Being near the sea was brilliant. However, I'd advise sea shoes due to sea urchins nearby (our son stepped on one and needed to have them removed). The rooms were okay, but the hotel was a bit dated. But it lived up to the 4-star rating. The bedding could have been better as the duvets/sheets were too small for the beds (no overhang). The breakfast choices were fine, but the coffee machine was broken (it is worth removing that, as a few reviewers had also commented). Dinner at the restaurant was not as good as eating out - it doesn't come close to some of the options, but it is pricey. This is a solid hotel, we would stay again, but probably use the mini-bar and hotel beach bar much less, as prices were high and do not show on the receipt at the end of each day, so that can be a bit of a shock to the system. Overall, it is a good base from which to either launch out and explore Hvar, or to chill by the sea in relative peace and quiet. "

"We loved it here and wish we had stayed longer! Lovely rooms, the ground floor terrace was a great touch considering we had no balcony. Breakfast was amazing with lots of options. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Service can be a bit slow if you arrive past 9:30am, before then is great. Dinner was tasty too. Location is perfect and views spectacular. The pool and sunbathing facilities are lovely. A wonderful place to unwind. The hot tub was empty when we went to visit and could really only fit one or two people in but this didn’t bother us. A drink on the rooftop bar is a great place to relax or socialise. We did this a few times before and after dinner. Service attentive. Massage prices are extreme which was a bit disappointing as an avid ‘spa goer’ but this isn’t a service you have to use. Highly recommend a stay at the Adriana if travelling to Hvar island! "

"It was a beautiful property with a great location "

"The staff was really nice and attentive. They helped us get a taxi driver to the airport. They had a good breakfast selection!"

"The food was delicious, staff were so nice, so close to Hvar. Very clean. Nice chill vibe with music and breakfast was so good with so many options "

"Amazing island Fabulous hotel Exceptionally helpful staff Delicious breakfast A shout out to the member of staff who made me the best smoothie ever!"

"I travelled with my husband and we stayed for 3 nights. It was a great short trip! The resort is beautiful and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The bathrooms were okay, they did not match the vibe of the rest of the hotel, but everything still worked. We had an issue with our balcony door and it was promptly fixed. There is wifi all over the resort including the lobby and the pool area. The buffet breakfast was my favourite part of the trip, the selection had everything you can imagine. The rest of the food was quite delicious too, including pizza, pasta and seafood. The staff were nice enough, but I found that when I spoke Croatian they changed their attitude and were more friendly towards me (I speak English with my husband). Overall I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity came up! "
