The first spring weekends and May Day holidays usually attract many guests to the Croatian coast, where in recent years mainly foreign hotel chains have enabled the rapid progress of Croatian tourism. Boutique hotels have emerged that satisfy even the most demanding guests. And this time we were charmed by the renovated hotel on Hvar - Places Hotel by Valamar, which is definitely worth visiting before the peak of the summer season.
It's time to rest from the long winter, which we spent confined to Slovenia, regions and municipalities due to the pandemic. The world continued to spin, but we will have to adapt to life in it. At the moment, to enter Croatia, we need a negative PCR test or a certificate of recovery from covid-19, which must not be older than 90 days. But don't let the bureaucracy stop you from your wishes - travel, discover the world, but strictly follow all the rules to prevent the spread of the covid-19 virus.

The hotel of the famous chain Valamar is also preparing for its first season. The former Lavender Hotel in The old castle got a new name Hvar PlacesHotel and also a completely new concept. Places by Valamar is a concept designed for the modern traveler, a relaxed explorer of the Mediterranean, who wants to enjoy the freedom of choice and customize his vacation as he sees fit - he does not want to be tied to certain parameters, such as a specific time for breakfast or dinner. Hvar PlacesHotel Valamar works in harmony with nature, which is emphasized by the decoration and location surrounded by pine trees.
Places by Valamar is designed as a place to enjoy yourself, lounging by the pool, drinking cocktails and listening to good music. It ideally suits young travelers, as they can embark on adventurous experiences and explore the island with the locals. The Hvar hotel was chosen as the first in the series to receive the title Places Hotel. The relaxation of the vacation it offers is emphasized by the perfect space around the pool, numerous deckchairs, canopies, armchairs and a bar. The open concept of the restaurant is dominated by light wood, while the rooms are inspired by nature. Upon arrival, you receive a wristband that facilitates and automates your movement around the hotel, you can use it to pay for a drink at the bar or buy a snack at the restaurant. Meals are also flexible. If you are late for breakfast or lunch, you have a daily voucher in the amount 25 euros, which you can use whenever you want or postpone to the next day. Many additional services and activities are available to guests, or you can just lounge by the pool all day.
