Spent 4 nights in early September - very happy overall. Booked as cat2 - has to be one of the best redemption values (weekend rates are around $250).

-the Sea around the hotel is more beautiful than I imagined. When sunny, it's perfectly turquoise. Plenty of spots within 10 minute walk to relax to the sound of waves, both in the sun and in shade.

-Food: we tried several restaurants within 15 minute walk. We like Puntizela the most (the lamb is awesome, and best service), followed by Supetar (cheap and big portions). We didn't get tired of the food. But the best thing has to be Peppino's ice cream in Old Town - best we ever had. Try the premium ice creams. Prices in both hotel area and Old Town are comparable to something like Venice - quite expensive. Hotel area restaurants are wide open for lunch but get busy for dinner.

-Old Town: it's VERY busy during the day, a bit better at night. It's worth it though, especially walking the ancient City Walls. The view from the fort outside the gates is another highlight (included in price of City Walls).

-Transportation: airport to hotel cost $12 by Uber. From hotel to Old Town we found a local driver who charged 40 kuna (about $6.5). We were very happy with the service and used him the whole time. We tried to take the bus one day and it was completely full, so be prepared to use alternative.

Overall, one of my most relaxing hotel stays. No upgrade as Gold.
