Bluesun Hotel Soline

A fantastic hotel in a perfect location right on the sea front promenade, we had a superior double room with side sea view which actually was as good as a full sea view. The room was spotless and spacious with a free safe which was a bonus. Food was plentiful with a good choice for breakfast and dinner, a special mention to Anita, she was so friendly and always gave us a hug, in fact all the staff were very friendly and helpful, as is Croatia in general, a beautiful country. The hotel is situated in the small village of Brela but has a good selection of bars and shops along the promenade which stretches a good 10km, 3km to the left is the town of Baska Voda a 20 min walk but an easy paved flat walk, likewise to the right of the hotel another 7km easy flat paved walk, either way is stunning. If you are booking trips then the hotel reception has them all with a staffed booking desk most days. I strongly recommend the sky walk via Tuk Tuk, well worth the extra cost, also Krka National park, approx 1.5hrs by coach, bus stop is just a 100 yards up from hotel, Krka N.P is simply breathtaking with stunning waterfalls, paradise found here. Oh and not forgetting the magical sunsets. Thank you to all at Blue Sun Soline, our first visit to Croatia, it was magical, a stunning holiday. Faultless.

Perfect getaway with my elderly mother who has mobility issues. We were able to relax in our comfortable room with sea views and spent lots of time on loungers overlooking the pine-fringed sea vistas. We also enjoyed the pool and spa (exceptional therapeutic massage) as well as a few gentle walks along the smooth and well-designed promenade. All staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel is spotlessly clean and the food was delicious. Shoutout to Mila and Dinora on the reception desk who went the extra mile to make our experience comfortable and wonderful.

Arrived around 10pm, by this stage dinner had finished but they provided plates of cold meat/salad which was nice. The room was a standard room with balcony, the room was spacious with a modern bathroom, cleaned each day to a high standard and cleaners would always greet you as you came out the room in the morning. The view from the balcony was poor, there was a large tree covering up the majority of what would have been a sea view, it also stopped light from getting into the room, we like to sit out and read when on holiday but couldn’t do this once. The food was plentiful and delicious, good variety with meats, fish and the pizzas were particularly tasty. Breakfast was the same each day but good choice of cooked, pastries, bread and cold meats - for British people - stay clear of the baked beans! Service was very good apart from one evening when nobody. And to our table to ask if we wanted drinks. Particular mention to Steffan and Filip, also the twin girls who appeared to be celebrities as people were asking to have their photos taken with them - maybe they haven’t seen identical twins before?! The spa was nice - beware as some like to bare all in there! We had a lovely massage on our last day. The gym looked well equipped but didn’t use it. The bar was very quiet while we were there, not sure if this was because of the time of year, they could do with providing a drink voucher to guests, this would entice them in and if others see that it’s busy I’m sure they would follow. The main bus stop to Split is up a very steep hill with lots of steps, just beware if mobility problems, took us about 20 mins and we’re quite quick. Brela is small town, lots closed when we went, worth a walk along the sea to the next town of Baška Voda as more going on there. The beaches themselves are beautiful, a lovely scenic walk can be had going the other way towards the award winning beach of Punta Rata. Overall a nice hotel, best thing probably the food and with a better view from the room and it could have been a 5.

We loved everything BUT The first night we had control of the air conditioning However the second night we did not and it was uncomfortably warm (23) we went to the desk because the phone in our room did not work and they said they would be up to adjust and never came so we went down 3 times and the man said it cannot be adjusted so we had a horrible night sleep because of that!!!!!! We loved the food and location but this left a bad taste and when we told the front desk as we checked out he said nothing!!! Very disappointed with that but servers were all very kind, better than the front desk. We should be able to adjust our temp in the room we paid for !!!!
