Summer 2012 will be my 10th summer visiting Carpe Diem in Hvar. I really cannot say whether I enjoy more the lazy mornings with a cappuccino, freshly squeezed orange and carrot juice, a croissant and a daily newspaper, relaxing afternoons with refreshing Bellini or elegant nights with exquisite cocktails and champagne. The cosy atmosphere, friendly waiters and the touch of... More

We went as two thirtysomething couples, and spent a significant sum of money on cocktails in the bar before being asked to vacate the couch we were sitting on "to make room for people who had reserved it". There were no reserved signs on the table in front of the couch and the people never came. After we were "moved"... More

They made terrible drinks and refused to get us something else. but not a bad spot for people watching Russian mobsters. This is a perfect example of how a formerly communist nation hasn't yet understood what it takes to become capitalist. More

We spent the afternoon at the club on some chairs they rent (4 chairs and an umbrella for 280 kn When we arrived, we found out that they don't take credit card so that limited the amount of food and drinks we could buy. It was also very expensive. No DJ on the day we went, thursday, not much of... More

Went to Croatia last summer with a bunch of friends for a month and travelled all over, and this was definitely our favourite bar and club we went to. Admittedly it’s quite expensive compared to the rest of Croatia, but it still doesn’t make it expensive compared to England. At 2am when the bar closes, there are taxi boats over... More

When in Hvar right? Well, we went to Carpe Diem and Carpe Diem Beach because that's just what you do in Hvar. The Carpe Diem "apres beach" party on Hvar Island is a scene, plain and simple. If you like loud, pulsing music (which I don't mind) and shirtless guys grinding on girls pulling their shirts up for the crowds,... More

After 1am in front of carpe diem bar there is a boat that takes you to another island. You get there and you see this really cool open air club !! It is a very nice experience. The price was 100kn just the entry, and the long drinks price is around 70kn ! More

+ Nice location, open air space, nice summer decoration that makes you feel cozy - Impossible to hear any kind of music, just beats mixing with loud voices, below average cocktails, and last but most important: Despite the fact that it is such a famous and promoted place, we were far from excited with the quality of the crowd there......

This place is full of up themselves idiots, the staff are rude and there is no room to actually enhoy yourself just enough to pout and be up your own bum! Bar Lavanda which is up some stairs near the church has better music and better clientele. Telling conversation was overheard from a local, "I'd tell you to go to... More

we did not plan to visit Hvar but met some cool people in Split and went for a weekend to Hvar island. It is only 1h by katamaran and you are in paradise....The town is lovely but the nights are overwhelming. Friday night we pumped into a stag party at Carpe Diem in town and had the best time ever...
