The Hotel Amfora Grand Beach Resort is one of the classiest and largest resorts in Hvar. It is not located in the main town, which is actually a blessing for people who want peace and quiet. Walking to town from the hotel is quite easy and the route is scenic. The view from the Bonj Les Bains private beach club terrace is bound to be one of the highlights of your stay. The resort’s private beach is also definitely one of the best in Hvar, although it can get crowded if you stay there during the busy season; you also have to pay extra for beach loungers (other hotels provide this for free).

May 23rd, 2009 by jinkyHotel Vestibul Palace
May 17th, 2009 by jinkyThe Hotel Vestibul Palace is a small hotel inside the Diocletian walls. It is in one of the best spots in Split as guests will only have to walk a few minutes to reach the highlights of the area (of course, you can’t really drive inside the palace walls). In fact the Cathedral tower is right outside the hotel. The Riva (the promenade on the water’s edge) is but a few minutes away. If you’re in the mood to shop, expensive designer stores are within easy reach; you can also go farther and shop at the tent bazaars and market found outside the walls.
Hotel More Dubrovnik
May 15th, 2009 by jinkyHotel More Dubrovnik has something for everybody. Get a sea-view room with a balcony; you’ll appreciate walking out to your private balcony every day to gaze at the gorgeous view. You will also enjoy the same great view from the restaurant and the cocktail lounge. If you are in the mood for a swim, go out to the deck and swim in the sea; free beach umbrellas, deck chairs and beach towels are available. You may also go up to the fifth floor; there’s a Jacuzzi and a swimming pool at the fifth floor’s terrace.
Casa Garzotto
May 13th, 2009 by jinkyCasa Garzotto is one place in Rovinj where tourists will feel absolutely at home. This is in no small measure because of the warm hospitality for which this hotel is known. For instance, unlike other hotels, the hotel owner or his representative will take care of parking your car for you; be sure to inform the hotel if you’re driving in so that you can be given directions and someone will be waiting for you when you arrive.
Villa Pattiera
May 11th, 2009 by jinkyVilla Pattiera is a delightful hotel in Cavtat, around 5 kilometers from the Dubrovnik International Airport. If you are in need of rest before proceeding to other Croatian destinations, Villa Pattiera is very conveniently located. This hotel has only 12 rooms so you can be sure it is never too crowded. The rooms are air-conditioned and extravagantly furnished; rooms have a terrace (own or shared), satellite TV, telephone, mini-bar, and modem. Some of the rooms have a view of the Adriatic; if you want that, book a sea view room.
Hotel Marmont Split
May 9th, 2009 by jinkyThe city of Split is fascinating. If you are planning an exploration of it, the Hotel Marmont may just make you the perfect base. This hotel is located in a World Heritage Site, the Diocletian Palace. If you are a history buff, you’ll love staying inside the Palace walls. Of course, there’s no parking at the hotel or at neighboring buildings; you will need to leave your rental outside the city walls and pay parking fees. However, if you do not have a lot of luggage (or if you do not have a car), then the Hotel Marmont’s location is definitely ideal.
Hotel Podstine
May 8th, 2009 by jinkyThe Hotel Podstine is located on the Podstine bay in Hvar. It sits on its private stretch of beach. You should not expect white sandy beaches, however, for you’ll not find them in Hvar and in Hotel Podstine. The beach is concrete, but the water, is still very clean and great for swimming. The sea is very accessible, indeed, and the hotel offers guests a great view of the Adriatic.
Hotel Antunovic
May 8th, 2009 by jinkyThe Hotel Antunovic is a hotel in the outskirts of Zagreb. You can take a taxi or the tram from the hotel to reach the city center, however. The hotel is not very easy to find, so be sure to call beforehand to get directions. It is around 20 kilometers from the airport. You can simply take a taxi from the airport for a hassle-free ride to the hotel; you may also rent a car for there are parking facilities at the hotel.
The Pucic Palace
May 3rd, 2009 by jinkyThe Pucic Palace has one edge over competing hotels: it is located in Dubrovnik Old Town. If you are on a historical tour of Croatia, then no other hotel can have a better location as you’ll be but a few seconds’ or minutes’ walk away from the Old Town’s most interesting sights. Most important of all, the hotel itself is a historical site. The Pucic Palace is a Baroque edifice built on the 17th century. Of course, the price is rather steep; a single room (the most affordable) costs more or less $320, $400 and $500 during low, high and peak seasons, respectively.
Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
May 3rd, 2009 by jinkyThe view from the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik is fantastic and the location is just perfect. The Old Town is just over 90 meters away; the beach, 101 meters. The Franciscan Monastery, the Rector’s Palace and other attractions are just 2 blocks away. Elephite Islands and Lokrum are just a few miles away. The Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik therefore makes a very good tourist base.
