…Ībsolutely unforgettable! When you drive 9 hours from Zagreb to arrive at Bluesun Hotels & Resorts - Croatia destination based on false information twice provided by the hotel and to realize this is not what you booked and paid for, so you have to stop your completely ruined vacation and drive back home without having the opportunity even to properly swim. Although the scenery in Croatia is stunning- even the airport transfer was great - we still think Brela was the best place we visited. From there we went on the Cetina river cruise which was amazing and incredible value at 10 euros each for one hour and twenty minutes! There was no need to book as the boats sailed quite regularly. We went on the Hvar and Bol excursion and also got the public bus to Omis which is definitely worth seeing. Our favourite walk was when turning right out of the hotel - just stunning views! A nice surprise was that the water in Croatia is very good quality and safe to drink - no struggling back from the supermarket carrying heavy bottles of water. We loved the location - two minutes walk to the sea and the promenade goes on for miles. Although we usually enjoy a buffet style breakfast, the menu was varied and the staff informed us on our first morning that we could order as much as we could eat! Everything was delicious and it was actually a really nice change being waited on by the very attentive and polite staff (especially Tereza who made us feel very welcome) and eating in such beautiful surroundings. We loved the amazing staircase! We had a very comfortable bed and a good sized room and bathroom. It was especially nice to have comfortable armchairs on the balcony - a huge improvement on the usual plastic ones! The hotel was very clean and tastefully decorated in a modern style. We were given a room upgrade to sea view (very much appreciated thankyou) and spent many relaxing hours taking in the amazing view. It is very classy, peaceful and relaxing - perfect for couples. We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Brela, staying at the beautiful Hotel Maestral. There are lots of places to visit, some are walking distance, some you will need a car/transport. Overview: A great hotel set in an ideal setting, great staff and we loved it. But if you like being on the beach, it is only a few steps down to the prom with plenty of space if you get there early but be warned during peak season it can get very busy, but the sea is amazingly clear and the beach is immaculate. Pool Area: Although they have a NO reserve policy, this does not work and there needs to be more thought into providing more sunbathing areas and sunbeds. Evening meal: We were bed and breakfast but ate at the restaurant once, and the food and service was very good. Great breakfast and our waitresses were fantastic especially Teressa. Restaurant: Breakfast is served (not a buffet) this means everything is made fresh to order. The bathroom has a glass wall looking into the bedroom, but don’t worry it does have a curtain for privacy! Great room on the second floor. Rooms: Modern/slightly retro, spotlessly clean, comfy bed, balcony with a fantastic sea view. The hotel Manager was excellent approachable, and happy to answer any questions or issues you may have. Reception: The reception staff are outstanding nothing was a problem, even when our hire car locks wouldn’t work, they offered to help. There is a small port, at night this is a safe and a beautiful area and sometimes they have entertainment, which when we were there was amazing – BERULIA - what a fantastic group of singers. The hotel is situated on the beach front and is about a 5–7-minute walk along the front to Brela where there are 2 supermarkets (the one at the back is much cheaper), take aways and some amazing restaurants that are not too expensive. In the 10 days we there we had no problem with parking. The hotel has limited parking in its own carpark however, the reception staff will find a parking spot for you. ![]() Set in a wooded area this medium sized hotel built in the mid 60’s but newly renovated. We flew into split airport, picked up our hire car and drove approx 1-hour 15minutes to the hotel.
