“Great Views”

Stayed two nights, just unlucky with the weather, it was supposed to be the sunniest area of Croatia but it rained on our parade the first day, second day lounged around the pool... The hotel has no lounges on the beach they have to be rented.. Hotel pricey for food and drink but lots of places in town a pleasant 10-15 min walk along the ocean pathway... Would go back again if in the area...

“Nice enough if you want a 'resort', but...”

On arrival into Hvar (by ferry from Split) we walked around town, through the otherside and up the path to the hotel. It is a very large, almost imposing building... almost like a compound. Regarding check-in, our room was not ready even though it was early afternoon. We weren't offered a drink or anything - just that the room was not ready yet and if we could wait. While waiting I walked over to Concierge and asked if they had a map of Hvar town... and no maps of town! : ) When they finally told us the room was ready, we went up to it and found the cleaning staff still in the room. Not the cleaning staff's fault, but the front desk's issue. Next, our "Sea View" room was more of a "Roof View". True that you could see the sea... but it wasn't what we expected. We met another couple that had the same issue and they were on their honeymoon - they ended up checking out of the hotel and going to a different one. The hotel is OK but if you are looking for a boutique than this isn't for you and it is a 10-15 minute walk into Hvar town - we would have rather been in town. The hotel does have a pool and a private beach. Overall the hotel has a feeling of an office building - I wish we had stayed at the sister property - Riva. That looked to be exactly what we wanted...

“Worth A Visit”

Generally a good hotel, service was friendly and efficient apart from the Concierge who was clueless. Rooms on the small side but smart and clean. We were at high season so the pool was crowded although it was very well appointed. One afternoon was ruined by a full-on rave for the younger sailing crowd - the hotel should look to ban this. Although this review highlights some downsides, we had a great stay and would recommend this hotel.

“Great hotel with a few flaws...”

The staff was great at Amfora, the location was amazing, and the ability to bill charges from associated restaurants, bars and spa at other properties on Hvar back to the room at Amfora was extremely convenient. Unfortunately there are three major flaws that put a huge damper on our stay: 1. The pool - the pool has significantly fewer loungers available than the number of guests staying at the hotel. While the pool rules clearly state that placing of personally belonging on lounge chairs to reserve them is prohibited. The staff does not enforce this rule. Consequently, if you plan to spend the day a the pool you must get a towel and place it on a lounger in order to reserve you spot by 9 am. It was extremely frustrating to watch lounge chairs go unused for HOURS. 2. There is an outdoor dance club very close to the hotel. The first night we were there the music was thumping until 5 am and we could hear it even with all our patio doors closed. The next couple nights of our stay we lucked out and it started raining at about midnight each night so the party ended earlier. 3. Breakfast is a zoo. Try to go "earlier" around 8:30 or wait until it is almost over - closer to 10:30. Otherwise the large restaurant is complete chaos with small children running around, plenty of dirty tables - but no clean ones for you to sit at. On the brightside there was a huge selection of cold and hot items and the coffee was fantastic!

“Nice hotel”

Very nice hotel, recently restructured, calm place without lousy noise on surroundings at night. Comfortable bedroom, but little bit small. For older people with physical handicap I would not recommend it, since there are too many stairs without alternatives. Food and drinks should improve, much better alternatives in bars and restaurants downtown Hvar. Wake up early if you whant a deck chair at the swiming pool, otherwise hotel beach is a good choice.

“So-So. Great location but staff needs a lesson in customer service.”

Great location and nice facilities. Staff is very indifferent. Housekeeping staff is terrible. They failed to leave soap and towels and other essentials almost EVERY day. We were constantly asking for essential items to be be re-filled in the room. Bar service was spotty around the pool as well. Computers didn't work and no consistency of service. A nice place with great facilities, but the management needs changing and staff needs a whole new outlook on who pays the bills. The customer. Seemed they could care less.

“Nice Hotel”

The hotel was very nice, and the staff was helpful. They also arranged transportation to and from the airport in Split witch was great. I would stay there again!

“Fantastic view”

Hotal Amfora is a fantastic resort hotel with absolute beach frontage. Only about 5 mins walk (flat) to all the restaurants etc so you have the best of both worlds: quiet but close to the action

“best hotel in hvar”

gorgeous hotel, with amazing pool area and beach. probably the most modern hotel that you'll find in hvar. a bit pricey, but worth it.
