I was somewhat taken aback by your email. I will address your points below.
1. This room has two windows, one is in the bedroom and this one is on your picture, Second window is
In living room and has a direct sea view, no wall view.
- This is not a sea view. This is a view with a little bit of water in it. I ask you to visit rooms with true sea views and you will notice the difference. The people viewing reviews online can judge for themselves.
2. We are suprised by your claim about constant noise during the night because of cleaning activites and general foot traffic in the reception area. First because you didn't mentioned it during your stay and during check-out, and second reason is because we never clean during the night and only one receptionist is in the reception area in this time and there is no possibility of any traffic on the reception.
- There are c. Four rooms next to reception. The halls echo. To us it sounded like cleaning. If it was not cleaning, then I advise your staff to be more quiet at night.
3. Puteus Palace is situated near the main church and as Croatia is catholic country so the local habit is that church bell are ringing every hour from 6 am – 11 pm to present time of the day and on Sudays they ring longer to celebrate mass.
As you came on Sunday evening to the reception and claimed about bell ringing it was explained it to you that on Sunday the bells ring a bit longer during the day.
- it was explained after check out. I advise you inform guests prior to check in.
4. As you came on Sunday evening to the reception and claimed about bell ringing it was explained it to you that on Sunday the bells ring a bit longer during the day.
Our receptionist offered you ear plugs which you refused and you decided to check out on this evening.
- I use these words cautiously - whoever informed you of this has lied to you. We were not offered ear plugs. In any case ear plugs would have made no difference. I advise you make this clearer on your website.
5. Our receptionist offered you twice assistance with the luggage wich you refused as well.
- I would not have provided this feedback if it was not true. It appears that you are calling me a liar which I take great offence to. No assistance was offered. I am appalled that this is your reply. I would have been fine to carry my luggage but you let my girlfriend carry her luggage alone without assistance.
I do not expect any compensation for what was a hugely disappointing stay. Your email has magnified what are glaring inadequacies in your offering.
Thank you for taking the time to reply but I find your reply totally inadequate and inaccurate.

From the moment you walk through the gates, you’re greeted by beautifully landscaped gardens that immediately create a sense of calm. We received the warmest welcome from the staff, setting the tone for what turned out to be a perfect stay.
Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had incredibly comfortable beds. The shower deserves a special mention – quite possibly the best hotel shower I’ve ever experienced! The rooms are also exceptionally well soundproofed, so once you’re inside, it’s wonderfully peaceful, ensuring a fantastic night’s sleep.
The location is ideal. It’s just a couple of minutes’ stroll to the harbour, bars, restaurants, and the water taxi to Zlatni Rat Beach. If you prefer to walk, it’s around 30 minutes along the beautiful coastal path. This end of Bol feels a little quieter than the centre, making it perfect if you’re looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed pace.
Breakfast is served on a beautiful sheltered terrace with plenty of choice. There are delicious homemade cakes (the banana bread is an absolute must!), along with freshly cooked eggs prepared however you like them.
The real highlight, however, was the hospitality. Every single member of staff was genuinely warm, friendly, and welcoming. A special mention has to go to Nick, who consistently went above and beyond throughout our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his attention to detail is second to none.
As a travel agent, I’ve stayed in countless hotels over the years, and Villa Giardino is genuinely one of the best. In my opinion, it deserves a well-earned 10/10.
If I had to suggest one improvement, it would simply be the addition of a swimming pool—but the great news is that one is already being built and is due to open early next year.
Thank you, Villa Giardino, for a truly perfect stay. We can’t wait to return. I’m

This is an intimate 5-room establishment situated amidst the alleys of the Old Town, hence cars cannot drop passengers at the doorstep. Easy enough to catch a shuttle bus for EUR 8 from the airport to the bus station at the port, from which a Makarun staff will meet you and assist you with your luggage to the hotel, a 10-minute walk away.
Breakfast is a la carte, as is to be expected for such a small establishment, comprising 3 courses - pastry/toast, eggs of your choice with cold cuts, and a dessert, complemented by tea coffee and/or juice. Food was more than adequate in terms of quantity and quality.
My room was comfortable enough, though 2 issues were noticeable:
* Instead of a flat cotton bed sheet, there was a fitted sheet made of what seemed like jersey, and looked more like a mattress protector.This was pilled and coarse, in contrast to the far smoother cotton quilt cover. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they explained that this is standard for the hotel. Whilst it did not affect the quality of my sleep, the coarseness of the sheet wasn't entirely pleasant
* In the bathroom, the shower was mounted at waist height, hence one either had to hold the shower in one hand, or, if there was a need to use both hands to wash, then one would have to crouch under the shower while it was in its holder. Not particularly convenient.
Overall a comfortable stay in a convenient location, enhanced by the friendly and solicitous Ivan and Mario.

Excelente ubicación, la vista era increíble y la habitación estaba limpia y tenía muebles bonitos.
- El personal estaba muy ausente y necesitas una llave para entrar al hotel y a la habitación. Olvidamos nuestra llave en nuestra habitación y nos dimos cuenta después de la cena alrededor de las 11 p. m. y, aunque el personal debería estar en el hotel hasta las 3 a. m., no había nadie allí. Tuvimos que comunicarnos solo por teléfono, pero como somos canadienses, no teníamos un teléfono que funcionara. Casi dormimos afuera. Recibimos ayuda del restaurante vecino.
- Se suponía que el personal comenzaría de nuevo a las 7 a. m.; nos fuimos a las 8 sin hacer el check out porque nuevamente no había nadie.
- A mi hija le robaron sus EarPods en nuestra habitación. Pudimos localizarlos con la aplicación de Apple y pudimos ver exactamente dónde estaban. Nuevamente, no había personal en el hotel para avisarles a la persona de limpieza que los había robado. (Estamos 100% SEGUROS de que nos los robaron, ya que no salieron de la habitación, nunca llevamos aparatos electrónicos a ningún lado y estaban a 7 km del hotel, donde nunca habíamos estado.
- Ofrecen servicio de planchado a vapor, quise usarlo, pero me dijeron que tardaron una semana en recuperar mi ropa... Estuvimos allí 4 días. El personal se ofreció a llevarme un planchado a vapor a la habitación para que pudiera hacerlo yo mismo. Nunca lo trajeron...
- Había una hermosa terraza en el cuarto piso, pero nos enteramos de que existía en nuestra última noche.
- Queríamos ir a la playa y el personal dijo que había que caminar 45 minutos y que esa era la única forma de ir. Caminamos. Finalmente, cuando llegamos allí... podríamos haber tomado un carrito por 3 euros... Lo tomamos para volver.

Pro - very close to the Golden Gate and is easy to find. Check in is straightforward. The room is on the first floor above ground so it wasn't the most difficult thing to lift our luggages up.
Con - (1) the actual room looks nothing like the pictures online. The online pictures (taken with wide lens mode) show the room to be much larger and brighter, whereas the room is in fact very small and relatively poorly lit. For one, the bed is literally two footsteps away from the door, and we were struggling to find space to open our luggages.
(2) One of the beds in the room is in fact a sofa bed, but the property did not declare this when we booked. We spent a lot of time trying to book places which do not use sofa beds but actual beds, and so we can't help but feel that we were misled and misrepresented to.
(3) There is a bit of noise. The property is right next to the road and near a pub with some rowdy youths at times.
(4) Facilities are minimal. There is only one chair, and the table is very small. Everything else is basic. Nothing luxurious about it despite its name and the photos.
(5) There is no lift at the property.
We would not have chosen this property if we had a second chance.

Nice hotel but only if you can get it around 250 euro per night - any more and it’s probably expensive for what it is but hey it’s Hvar and nothing is cheap
The rooms are nice and AC works well
The Breakfast is very good and Marko and his team really go above and beyond
The location is excellent right on a little beach which is free but chairs need to be rented and a 10 min walk along the boardwalk to old town
Now the bad
The reception don’t really seem to care about the guest and are actually pretty rude
Second day HK didn’t come when we asked reception we were told did we ask for HK ? Which was strange thing to say really when the day before we had it
It then took hours to get the room cleaned and follow up visits for towels and soap
On the last day we left our bags and arranged the free ferry pick up and drop bag service (which you don’t know about until you arrive) we asked what time would the bags leave so we can change first the said 3.30pm when we got back at 3 the bags were gone and they said sorry we were busy so we had to walk to the ferry in our swimwear as we planed to change
It’s only a small matter but shows how they really don’t care and say what they like

Fantastic hotel, 5 minute walk from the ferry terminal and bus station. The resort is small but makes for a quiet holiday which is exactly what we were looking for. We were upgraded to the harbour suite which is a stunning room, although no balcony, didn’t bother us, just to make others aware. Shower gel and shampoo are Ritual branded and smell lovely. The food is fabulous, breakfast is buffet style and dinner (for half boarders) is chosen off the menu. Really high quality and believe they were Michelin recommended for 2024. They even gave us a breakfast bag as we were checking out very early.
The staff are fantastic, very friendly and can’t do enough for you. This was the case from reception, restaurant to the roof top bar. All were great.
The rooftop bar was a brilliant place to sit and watch the sunset and the ferry coming and going.
The pool is covered and heated with a separate area for sunbathing. There’s also a couple of saunas you can use. The smallest gripe, it would be good to trim the top of the trees which blocked the view from the sun terrace.
Would absolutely stay here again for a chilled and relaxing holiday.

This was a rushed booking due to our original hotel not having our booking. Normally I spend considerable time going through reviews etc, but with the Azur Palace (hotel?) it was a case of needs must.
Unfortunately although we had booked a deluxe double in our opinion it didn’t match similar 4 star hotel deluxe rooms. I mentioned this to reception but they weren’t really interested.
Appreciate we were virtually in the centre of split, with space at a premium, but the view of a small alley with graffiti an empty minibar, not even plugged in, an irritating dim light, I think from the a/c that ensured the room wasn’t completely dark. After trying to close it down without success I went to reception, which had a note with a phone number to call. I gave up went back to the room and tried throwing a towel over it.
Also no bar, although there are a few within couple of minutes.
Overall disappointing.
