THE RESTAURANT

The atmosphere adds to the simple but quality of the food

Nestled on the idyllic Island of Hvar, the Maslina resort is a hidden gem tucked away from the bustling tourist hubs, offering an exclusive retreat in the charming Stari Grad area. A true testament to gourmet excellence, this resort offers a breakfast menu that is nothing short of spectacular. The quality of the dishes is simply superb, with the Egg Benedict standing out as a wonderful delight.

The heart of this culinary haven is its kitchen, boasting top-notch quality and a culinary team led by an exceptional Executive Chef. This culinary mastermind's creations deserve nothing less than a Michelin star. The dishes that emerge from this kitchen are nothing short of amazing; the Sauce Béarnaise reminiscent of the flavors savored in Paris, and the signature dish of Mr. Maric, the first course, is a perfect introduction to the meal – light, astonishingly fresh, with delightful notes that tantalize the senses.

Adding to the charm of the experience is Garfield the Cat, a charming and endearing presence that adds a touch of warmth. The sommelier's expertise is truly remarkable, as evidenced by the excellent pairings that complement each dish flawlessly. Jurica is one of the talented Somelliers in Croatia.

The Chocolate Ice Cream, a delectable treat, adds a sweet finishing touch to the culinary journey.

While the overall experience is exceptional, there were moments of imperfection. The service, unfortunately, suffered from occasional lapses in speed and attention to detail. Some small items were forgotten, leaving a less than ideal impression. The staff's grasp of English could benefit from improvement, a minor blemish on an otherwise superb property.

However, redemption arrives in the form of the professional bar staff, both during the day and night shifts. The evening shift's prowess in crafting exceptional drinks is truly commendable. Their communication, even during closing time, sets a shining example of hospitality that others could learn from.

As a whole, the Maslina resort weaves a tapestry of excellence. While the cleanliness on the stairs and potentially hazardous parts along the path to the beach could use some improvement, these minor issues do little to dampen the overall experience. Spending a few days here is an exquisite way to embrace relaxation, exceptional cuisine, and the serene beauty of Hvar.

Wunderschönes Resort mit einer super entspannenden Atmosphäre und einen kompetenten freundlichen Service. Das kleine Boutique Hotel wurde mit sehr viel Stil entwickelt. Die Portionen vom Essen könnten etwas größer sein, sonst schmeckt das Essen sehr gut. Wunderschöne Natur abgelegen auf der Insel und dennoch nur 30 Minuten von Hvar entfernt.

Geweldig hotel! Wij komen zeker terug en heerlijk genieten????

Het enige minpunt van het hotel is het zand strandje, beetje brak en nep.
Maar overall was het fantastisch!!

I recently had the opportunity to stay at a Maslina resort in Hvar Island that left me with mixed feelings. While the property boasted a stunning design and an exceptionally friendly staff, my overall experience was marred by the disappointing dining options. With an exorbitant price tag, I expected nothing short of perfection, yet the culinary offerings fell far short of my expectations.

Let's start with the positives. The resort's design was nothing short of breathtaking. Every corner exuded elegance and sophistication, making for a truly luxurious atmosphere. From the meticulously landscaped gardens to the well-appointed rooms, the attention to detail in the resort's aesthetic was second to none. I found myself wandering around the property just to soak in the beauty of the architecture and design elements.

Additionally, the staff at the resort were some of the friendliest and most accommodating individuals I have encountered. They were always ready with a warm smile and eager to assist with any requests or inquiries. From the moment I arrived until my departure, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued as a guest.

However, the true disappointment arose when it came time to dine at the resort's highly acclaimed and expensive restaurant. My high hopes were quickly shattered as I encountered a series of issues that were simply unacceptable for an establishment of this caliber.

The first concern was the forgetfulness of the staff. They consistently seemed overwhelmed, leading to orders being misplaced or forgotten entirely. Waiting for our meals became an arduous task, and some dishes arrived cold while others were completely different from what we had ordered.

Sadly, the taste of the food was not up to par with the resort's reputation. While some dishes showed promise, most were lackluster and failed to impress. The flavors seemed muted, and the execution of the dishes lacked finesse. It was evident that the kitchen was not living up to the standard one would expect from a 5-star hotel.

Another letdown was the apparent mismatch of ingredients used in the dishes. Considering the restaurant's premium pricing, I expected a seamless integration of high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. However, some combinations were confusing and seemed as if little thought had been put into their creation.

Taking into account the steep price of dining at this restaurant, the overall value was simply terrible. For such a significant investment, one should reasonably expect an exceptional culinary experience that would complement the beauty and luxury of the resort. Unfortunately, the subpar dining significantly detracted from the overall enjoyment of our stay.

In conclusion, while the resort dazzled with its awe-inspiring design and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, the poor dining experience left us disappointed and questioning the value of our stay. The resort undoubtedly has the potential to be a standout destination, but until they address the issues plaguing their dining offerings, I would find it challenging to recommend it to others seeking a top-notch culinary experience in Hvar Island.
