Maslina Resort

Our experience was extremely disappointing. Although the property is new and beautifully decorated, with a privileged location and beach, good rooms and food, the level of service was unacceptable. It started with the expensive private transfers booked through the hotel. On arrival, the taxi was not waiting, the boat was a third-party vessel rather than the hotel boat we had paid for, and no transfer was waiting at Stari Grad. The concierge then forgot our request for a private boat tour, requiring us to follow up the next day, and eventually booked us on the wrong tour. Pool and beach service was equally poor, and even arranging a taxi involved long waits and repeated follow-ups. The worst happened on departure. That morning, we reconfirmed our expensive private boat transfer to Split with two staff members, having already confirmed it by email prior to our stay as well. Later, when we it was time to leave, we discovered THEY HAD FORGOTTEN TO BOOK IT. With a flight to catch and no boat available, they eventually found a small improvised speedboat an hour later. The ride was extremely bumpy and uncomfortable, we and our belongings arrived wet, and we had to rush to avoid missing our flight. The price is completely incompatible with the service. Staff seemed unprepared, understaffed and often unhelpful. I cannot recommend this hotel. Even if cost-benefit was irrelevant, no guest at a hotel positioning itself at this level should receive such service.

Beautifully designed hotel with minimalistic interiors. Convenient free shuttle service to Stari Grad. Spacious lovely rooms. All staff are polite and friendly. Batu from guest relations is absolutely amazing. He was very kind and helpful throughout our stay, answering all my questions properly- the definition of great customer service. The only small negative point I will make is regarding the provision of drinking water in the room. They only provide complimentary water once per day and it’s a small bottle per person.

Beautiful property with a relaxing aesthetic that immediately put us at ease with nature. The grounds are well maintained, the staff friendly, and the breakfast healthy and fresh. The pools are kept at the perfect temperature from which you are able to enjoy soothing sea views that make you feel like you're on holiday. We also enjoyed the private dining experience by the water. Our waiter, Vjako, was knowledgeable, personable, and carried a genuine local pride that added a special touch to the evening. We very much enjoyed our stay.

What a special and beautiful place. Service was exceptional. Biking to Stari Grad from the hotel and enjoying the local seafood restaurants is a must.

My wife and I spent 4 days at the amazing Maslina resort on the equally amazing Hvar Island. This was our first trip to Croatia and I’m very impressed by the whole experience. In a nutshell I highly highly recommend Maslina. Let me try to break it down into categories: Location: Very well situated near the Stari Grad ferry. We had a car and it was really easy to go between Spit and Hvar Island. It was very central to many parts of the island including Hvar town, which we went to once (nice but too busy for us). Really glad we picked Maslina. You also have access to multiple lounge chairs on the shoreline or the beach. If you like to swim, you won’t be disappointed. Design: A+. We’re going to steal some of the design elements for our house. Cleanliness: Top notch. Food: Really good food. I think one of the dishes we had was one of the best on our trip. I think it was an octopus black ink risotto. Staff: Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Special shoutout to our Turkish friend, Batu. Wellness: We didn’t go but took a tour. It was one of the better wellness centers we’ve seen at a resort. Will have to use it next time, but was…well a bit lazy. Recommended activity: Arrange for a private boat trip. Have to see the island from the waters. Swim in places you can only get to by boat. And great to learn about locals by talking to crew.
