We had a wonderful time during our trip to Croatia. The country was beautiful, the people were kind, and the food was delicious. Our itinerary allowed for a good mix of rest and exploring. We enjoyed activities off the beaten path and some classic sites. The island of Korčula was our absolute favorite and would love to spend more time there. Our tour of the island with culinary tastes was amazing. We were so happy to visit Komparak and then have lunch in the country side. All hotels were clean, well located, and a joy to stay in. Our drivers were friendly and we much appreciated being driven around. We had a small issue with 1 ferry ride but Anna Maria was able to quickly resolve and we caught the ferry on time. Would highly recommend booking a trip!

Very spacious, clean and modern room. The host was incredibly kind and made huge, delicious breakfast each morning. The location felt very safe and allowed for quiet sleeping while still being within walking distance of many sites. We would stay here again!

Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort
Hvar

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 and there is something for everyone.

The staff here are SO friendly and helpful. The hotel is an easy walk from the ferry and well located in town. Due to it being a historic building, the rooms are quiet small and it can be noisy but each room is well laid out and earplugs are provided. Breakfast was yummy and the welcome gift of cookies were our favorite.

Hotel Lero
Dubrovnik

The rooms at this hotel are very spacious, modern and clean! The welcome cookies were delightful and the staff friendly. There isn't much nearby but don't let that deter you. The food and drinks at the Piano bar were flavorful and the breakfast buffet was huge. We also ate at the attached Taj Mahal restaurant which is an absolute must try. We took a bus back from the old city one day which was only a few minutes long and very easy to navigate.

Attached to a traditional Bosnian restaurant (Taj Mahal) which is a must try.

The waterfalls are breathtaking! Our tour guide was friendly and allowed for ample time to explore the park and then take a short boat ride to Trogir. The park can become crowded so we were happy to have traveled on the edge of peak season and while not overwhelming warm. The walk is several levels but not difficult or too strenuous. The short boat ride was enjoyable and it was nice to explore another small town.

Hands down, our favorite experience during the trip! A short ride to Komparak allowed us to experience a private tour tasting honey, jam, olive oil and gin. Our host was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We purchased several products to take back home with us. Our driver then picked us up to drive into the countryside for lunch. The lunch was incredible - sitting outside near the garden when our lunch was grown. The staff were friendly, the food was amazing and we relaxed while enjoying the sites, smells and tastes. We took our time and then called our driver when nearing the end of our meal who promptly came to pick us up.

Fun tour tasting wine and experiencing the local culture. Small group was the perfect size and it was nice to meet others from around the world. All winery hosts were kind and inviting; excited to tell us about their culture and treat us to their products. The train ride between wineries was fun even when it started raining. This made our trip even more memorable and we were able to warm up with some spirits in addition to the wine. The bus picked us up and dropped us off directly at our hotel so that was very accommodating.

Hotel Reviews
Residence Stine
Split

Lovely little boutique hotel tucked at the end of a narrow street. Initially was a bit difficult to find as we had to be dropped off at the bottom of a somewhat steep street with our luggage since cars cannot go past a certain point on the narrow street. Warm and welcoming staff. Although this is a new construction only a few years old, it fits right in with the surrounding area's character. Had requested two beds but only had one in the room so we used the sofa as an extra bed. However, the staff was very accommodating in providing extra linens. Easily accessible to the center of town.

Authenticity & Character
Small 8 room hotel with a charming feel. It and fit right in with surrounding buildings even though it is new construction.
Location
Easily accessible to center once you get your bearings!
Staff
Very warm, welcoming, and helpful. Although we had requested 2 beds and the room only had one, the staff immediately offered to open and set up the sleeper sofa. We opted to just use it as it was without opening it so that the room would not be too crowded. They brought the linens and set it up just as requested.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Everything was very clean and classy and the inconvenience of the bed situation became a minor issue.

Have written this review 3 times and have not been able to send it. Will not attempt to provide many details again. Least favorite of all the hotels.

Authenticity & Character
Decor was reminiscent of a college dorm with bathroom tiles portraying animated characters and words like "WOW" and "ARRRGH!"
Location
Difficult to approach from the marina. A lot of steps uphill while carrying luggage. No one to assist.
Staff
Unwelcoming and not very caring registration staff. Dining room and bar staff was not very friendly or accommodating either. Waited at bar to get a drink and it took so long that we finally left. We could not figure out what the problem was.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Clean but not very comfortable in terms of lighting and mirror placements. Could not find a hair dryer when my own dryer failed. Asked a staff member in the hallway and found it in a drawer in the bedroom under the minibar. Would have never thought to look there! The lady responsible for our room was the only person who seemed to care when I asked about a hairdryer.

The guide on the bus was very informative and made the long drive feel more a part of the tour. The guide in Mostar was passionate, heartfelt, and informative. The waterfall was nice, but we would have preferred to take the time to further explore Mostar. There was not enough time in Mostar. Additionally, the car to pick us up to get us to the bus went poorly - they expected us to wait outside with a small child for an hour, and since we were in the lobby instead, they did not come in and left without us. Vesna (the KimKim coordinator in Croatia) helped us swap for the next day.

Guides, Drivers and Staff
The drive was smooth and safe. The guide on the bus was very informative. And the guide in Mostar helped us to understand the current context people who live in Mostar find themselves in, along with the broader history and sights
Transport
Either we should be given a short window to be outside for the initial car (e.g., 10 minutes), or the driver should go into the lobby to check. Expecting a family with a small child to wait outside at 7am for an hour is inappropriate. The rest of the transport for the trip went well.
