One of Hvar´s biggest "luxury" resorts proved to be a big disappointment. The hotel has a great location, the rooms are fairly nice, it has a big swimmingpool area, bar, buffetrestaurant and a good breakfastbuffet but unfortunately we landed in the middle of the Ultra festival wich was a major disruption to our holiday. The day before the festival the pool was closed off for rigging and the day of the festival the whole area was swamped with electronica fans "high as kites". The music kept the whole building shaking, when we came home after dinner the whole area smelled of urin and we had to step over pools of vomit and there was even blood on the stairs. ( I would never swim in that pool again after seeing what happened there during the festival) Also the clientele this kind of event attracts makes me wonder why the hotel management decided to host this event. Apparently they do it every year since they have no problem selling out all the rooms.
The staff was, however, friendly and tried to do their best to smooth over the problems caused by the festival, but it it didnt change the fact that such an event brings riffraff from all over the world together and such a crowd is not one that I want to go on vacation with.
