This should be a 5? hotel can't wait it high enough

Reviewed By A2364FJsaram

Normally I write a review at the end of our holiday but I honestly can't rate this hotel and its staff high enough. We arrived 2 and bit hours later than anticipated due to flight delays , the reception staff could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. We were lucky and got upgraded to a superior double room with sea view and was left a snack to eat along with a room that had all high quality amenities including a stocked fridge with a range of drinks , a variety of different teas and coffees with a kettle, super king size bed, bathroom fully equipped with quality towels , flannels shampoo,soap, conditioner even a hairdryer. The hotel literally has everything you can think of including the most friendly, helpful staff from those at reception, tui staff , shop staff bar and restaurant staff . And the chef well , you'd think you was in a top restaurant , even though the food is a buffet style it is the best food I've ever had with a huge variety of anything you could imagine and the taste and quality is out of this world you won't want to stop eating. I can't recommend this hotel enough not just because it has everything but the staff are literally top class and will stop and have a friendly chat with you every time you see them . So welcoming. 1000% recommend this hotel and will definitely definitely go back again

The Maritimo Hotel

Located at a pebbly beach, the charming family-run Hotel Maritimo is close to a sports marina, boasting magnificent views of the Brač and Hvar Islands. Only a promenade shaded by pine trees stands between the sea and the hotel, which provides comfortable and fashionably appointed accommodation.

Fabulous Hotel

We are just back from a week in this fabulous hotel. It is in an excellent location, close to the beach and within easy walking distance to the town centre. The girls on reception were outstanding and the restaurant staff were very courteous and helpful.The food was first class. This hotel is certainly worth more than 3 stars.

While the hotel is rated a 3 star, we felt that the quality, service and overall site was exceptional. The food, staff, room were all great and this made this trip very memorable to us. We would recommend this hotel in a second to anyone.

Hotel Podstine

While small enough to make its guests feel at home, Hotel Podstine is also big enough to offer luxurious and personalized service to all its guests. Hotel Podstine location is remote enough to provide its guest with perfect blend of peace and quiet, while within walking distance from frenetic center of Hvar town.

Fabulous Stay

Reviewed By ab19572018

Just returned from 5 nights staying in Room 210 - what a fantastic view we had (Superior Twin Room with full seaview). Beautiful, quiet and peaceful setting. Friendly, professional staff. Great breakfast, on terrace overlooking the sea, listening to the birds and the waves. Lovely, coastal 15 minute walk into town (so easy to get a cab back in the evening if you wish). Can't recommend highly enough and hope we can return one day.

I am very surprised of the positive reviews. Our stay wasn't a pleasant experience at all. The dining room is so crowded as we even skipped meals as we couldn't get a table or had to stand 10 minutes in queue. And the meals we had was eatable, but not more. I asked to talk with the manager at the reception about the problems in the dining area, and the girl working there told me the manager was going to call me, but it never happened. We had booked some kind of family suit for about 400 Euro per night. The room was nice, but not cleaned good enough when we arrived, as we found several toys under the bed and some spider nets in the corners. They also charge 10 Euro (or maybe 6 Euro, I don't remember anymore) per day for parking. Which might a decent price in the city of Split, but this hotel is in the middle of nowhere and you are parking at a gravel yard. The pools are OK and the "beach" is OK as well. But the floating playground was broken and lacking a lot of air so basically you could barely play on it.

Le Meridien Lav, Split

Not 5 star

Reviewed By Shona M

Arrived and reception was Chris with departing conference. Returned later and check in took forever. Asked for a room on a higher floor at Marina but given one on lowest level and when walked there found a couple already in room so back to reception and after a long wait given another room on lowest level in spite of my request. We had booked a superior room with sea view at over £300 a night so we were expecting something very nice. Room was nicely refurbished but bathroom was dated and huge balcony had concrete wall so not a great sea view over the yachts. Balcony furniture was a very cheap and very dirty two chairs and table. No nice sun lounger or chair. Extremely poor for a 5 star hotel. Went to look at pool area … no separate childrens pool so very noisy. Went to see spa hoping it would be quieter but more children playing ball games in the pool there. Otherwise breakfast was nice.

Nice experience, great location

Reviewed By victoriap49

Really good experience here. Rooms were cleaned everyday, bedding exchanged for fresh bedding, clean towels too. Facilities fine for what you’d expect for a 3 star hotel. Sea view room is as facing the sea, however there are trees in the way. You can partly see the sea and definitely hear it: It’s not an ideal place for people with limited mobility and fitness as there are a steps and hills to climb. The steps can be quite slippy in the morning. Beautiful beaches and promenade within metres of the hotel. Anyone who comes here and decides to do a boat trip to zlatni rat. Don’t bother. There are much more beautiful beaches right here. They are very very stony though and I’d recommend getting yourself a pair of aqua shoes to walk in beach and go in the water. We stayed half board and there was an abundance of food choice for meat eaters. However, there wasn’t much choice for vegetarians and even less for vegans. I ate the same thing every day -salad. I did enjoy the salad though and liked my bowl high with grated cabbage, carrot, lettuce m, olives and tomatoes. For vegetarians there is not a bad selection of cheeses and eggs to eat. Breakfast had a selection of cheeses, pastries, bread, meat, fruit, toast and cereal with juice and hot drink. I’d recommend the hotel to others and definitely would stop here again. It met our needs and expectations. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Affordable All-Inclusive In Expensive Bol

Reviewed By Neil_Hughes

Before booking, we were a little concerned after reading reviews about ant-infested rooms and the entertainment. But, we often forget that context is everything and that opinions around hotel stays are subjective. Before I go any further, it's probably best I tell you more about who we are and our expectations. We got the ferry from Split for five nights in Bol. It was about a 20-minute walk to the hotel. We are a middle-aged couple who would not sit around the hotel getting involved with the entertainment but appreciated many people want that. We knew BOL was expensive, so we needed a base where we could fill up on breakfast and then spend our days exploring Bijela Kuca Beach, Zlatni Rat Beach, and Martinica Beach before returning to the hotel for drinks and food. Bluesun Holiday Village Bonaca ticked all of these boxes. Every single staff member we met was friendly and polite. The food was good with plenty of choice, and the rooms were very clean. The only downside was at night there was no escaping the family entertainment, so we stocked up on all-inclusive drink and retired to our room with the sound of Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo in the distance. Bluesun Holiday Village Bonaca is a great family hotel and with lots of entertainment for the kids. If you pay a refundable deposit at reception, you can rent beach towels which can be replaced each day by Ivan by the pool. In fact, Ivan needs a special thank you for all his hard work and is an unsung hero of the hotel with a keen eye for detail. If you are family or someone looking for an affordable base that is also all-inclusive, don't stress about the bad reviews and focus on exploring the beautiful island of Bol. Special thank you to all the staff for looking after us. Overall, it's a perfect base to enjoy the best BOL has to offer. Clean rooms, good food, and friendly staff. The only downside is not having anywhere to have a romantic few drinks after dinner without hearing Baby Shark, but hey it's a family hotel and we understand it's not all about us. :)

Bluesun Hotel Amor

A true vacation experience. Experience holidays in a luscious garden by the beach of a peaceful cove. Rest by the pool with a great view.

Lovely hotel, not so sure about location

Reviewed By Angela M

Stayed here for 2 nights. Very spacious room, very clean and bright public areas. Nice private balcony overlooking the pool area. Small pool with a paddling pool for young children. About 12-14 sun loungers around the pool area. Set in beautiful gardens. However it is a 15-20 minute walk into the harbour/center along a not particularly pleasant road - if I'd been on my own I would have felt a bit uneasy walking back later in the evening. Breakfast, as in most hotels these days, is buffet style. Reasonable selection except for fresh fruit of which there was very little. Supetar is not the most exciting of holiday locations, Bol is much nicer but Supetar handy for ferry to Split. Secure car parking available at the hotel.
