Aminess Senses Hvar Resort ★★★★

"We booked this holiday last minute on a whim, over a beverage at lunchtime, (it was a great offer) We didn't do any research (which is unusual for us as we usually plan our holidays well in advance) Upon getting home and reading Trip Advisor reviews we were really worried that we'd made a big mistake, the reviews weren't good. The latest one was dated October 2025, so nothing posted recently. We had everything included, flights, transfers, hotel and all inclusive (more on that later) When we arrived, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised, the reception was clean and bright and we were met by a lovely young lady on reception. We were given room 115 (photos attached) The reviews I had read all mentioned filthy carpets but ours were clean, as were all the corridor carpets. The room was clean and nicely made up with a basket of fresh fruit. It's a shame that were were at the side of the building, we didn't have a clear view of the sea. The hotel was quiet so it would have been easy for them to have put us in one, but when we asked, we were told it would be at an extra cost. The hotel was quiet with not much to do. A movie night or some sort of entertainment one evening would have been nice. On to the 'all inclusive'. It's not all inclusive (you have to dig deep in the paperwork to find this out) It's actually all inclusive 'light' which basically means that you get breakfast, lunch and dinner, all buffet style. Drinks wise, you get house red wine or white wine, a local beer and soft drinks, but only when you're dining. You can then purchase drinks at the bar outside of those hours. The red wine wasn't good. The white was slightly better. The food was good but was rather repetitive (as are most buffet restaurants) The bread was delicious and the salads nice and fresh. The gym was a bonus. The equipment looked new. At the back was a hot tub and sauna room, changing rooms and a relaxation area. I used these facilities most days as it was so quiet. The setting is lovely. Such a gorgeous outlook. A rocky shore and gorgeous blue hues in the water. Unfortunately it was too cold for us to swim in it (others did though) We walked to the nearby town of Vroboska a few times (about 20 minutes at a good pace) It's gorgeous. Jelsa is also worth a visit. I must mention the dining room staff who were so friendly and helpful. They worked such long hours but always had a smile and they took time to chat. A big thank you goes to Jeevan, Texie and Yahia. All in all we were pleasantly surprised that our fears about cleanliness were unfounded. It's definitely not a 4* hotel but it's nice and thankfully, it's clean."
