Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort, Hvar

4.4 (15 reviews) · Comfort
Large two-level cascading pool resort in a private bay with several eateries, including a beachfront restaurant and a swim-up pool bar

Overview

The Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort, nestled in a private bay on the island of Hvar, offers several activities for all types of travelers—families, couples, and groups alike. This Mediterranean resort is known for its incredible cascading pool, a unique feature that adds to its character. The hotel's location is ideal for beach lovers and culture enthusiasts, as it's just a short walk away from the Franciscan Monastery, Heritage Museum, Hvar Town Arsenal, and Hvar Public Theater. Its proximity to the Old Town and views of the Adriatic Sea make it a favorite.

The resort's rooms offer a comfortable stay after a day of sightseeing or beach lounging. Although some past kimkim travelers have noted the rooms could use a touch-up, the hotel's commitment to cleanliness and comfort is evident. All units are cozy, equipped with king-size or twin beds, and include breakfast, while upgraded rooms offer a dash of luxury with options like balconies, sea views, and additional space. 

Enjoy simple and delicious dishes at the Cascades Restaurant on the resort's cascading pool, or grab a cocktail at the chic bar. The resort also features the Splash Beach Bar & Restaurant, offering light summer lunches under the shade of pine trees. The Windows on Hvar Restaurant on the fourth floor serves popular dishes with a Mediterranean touch. Sustainability is a core value at this resort, which has joined UNESCO's Sustainable Travel Pledge program for sustainable tourism.

Huge resort which is a bit of a change for us but we ended up enjoying very much. The room was very spacious, modern and clean. It had a nice balcony where we could see boats passing on the water. The pool area was very nice with a small beach nearby. The staff were very nice and helpful. It is a 10min walk from town but easy if you go around the hill (and not up & over it). As this resort is on a hillside there are a lot of stairs and levels. Poolside food and breakfast buffet were delicious... Read more

It's a bit out of town but the location is beautiful. We didn't mind the walk.

Nice room with a view, bathroom sinks were a little annoying with high faucets and shallow sink’s making them splatter water. Very good breakfast. Read more

Great resort with full pool, right by a beach as well. You have to pay extra if you want a chair at the beach. The room was big and had a nice balcony. Offered an amazing amount of breakfast options. Pool was lots of fun with a great section for small kids, though they kept the water way too cold. Read more

Although a little dated, you can’t beat the incredible pool with the view of the Adriatic. The staff is very helpful, considering how many people stay there. The breakfast is amazing with so many choices. The only negative we experienced was in our bathroom where the sink and faucet were badly designed, and you couldn’t rinse your hands without splashing pools of water everywhere, and the bathtub/shower was poorly draining.

We loved this hotel because we had 4 adult children who loved the resort lifestyle and the pool bars. If your looking for a quiet hotel you should look somewhere else. It was quite loud in the lobby of the hotel but the rooms were still quiet. Read more

Definitely a resort. Rooms seemed sort of shabby, and small. We were also unfortunately roomed near the bar and lobby, so it was noisy. In addition, the layout is kind of strange, and we felt like we were in a department store. Read more

Make the lobby less department-store feeling, and the restaurant less like a university cafeteria.

The rug in the room seemed dingy and walls were scuffed. Also, the bathroom design was very poor - the water from the shower got the whole sink wet when used.
