Bluesun Hotel Soline

en vacances fin juin 2023. Bien sûr, j'ai bien aimé, car nous étions à l'écoute de la vague alors que rien ne devait éclipser notre détente...)) mais objectivement pour les personnes qui lisent les avis sur le fond, je partagerai quelques impressions, au cas où être utile à quelqu'un pour connaître les nuances. Je dois le dire tout de suite : il y a des avantages et des inconvénients. des meilleurs avantages : 1 - l'emplacement de l'hôtel en général (le long de la première ligne) et de notre chambre en particulier (nous avions le standard habituel, une belle chambre absolument à part entière avec un mobilier moderne et tout ce qui correspond à la photo, non inférieur, et même supérieur à une catégorie supérieure ! au rez-de-chaussée avec une vue magnifique sur la mer et au bout du bâtiment, qui grâce à une sortie spéciale permettait d'accéder à la plage à pied en deux minutes))) 2 - presque tous les soirs il y a de la musique live, divisée par jour en zones thématiques, et à un niveau TRÈS correct !!! Parmi les plus gros inconvénients pour moi personnellement... : 1 - en tant que personne qui aime se réveiller des rayons du soleil, je n'avais pas assez de soleil et d'air, car les loggias sont équipées de cloisons en pierre profondes et hautes, qui au une main vous protège de la curiosité indésirable de vos voisins, mais bloque également la lumière dans la pièce, et de plus, les fenêtres, bien qu'elles soient au sol et sur tout le mur, ne peuvent être ouvertes que dans la partie médiane, ce qui est clairement pas assez pour les amoureux de la lumière du jour comme moi ((( 2 - manque de moustiquaires en présence de moustiques ou de moustiques. L'air est beau et on a envie d'en profiter 24 heures sur 24, mais les rapaces et l'abondance d'arômes éthérés ne pourraient pas résister à l'invasion des « invités indésirables » avec les portes ouvertes, et par conséquent, mon corps a été défiguré par des vautours terrifiants et douloureux pendant toute la période de repos))) je conseille donc aux poules mouillées ayant une réaction allergique correspondante de prendre en compte ce moment. Quant à la nourriture : nous avons acheté un circuit « petit-déjeuner et dîner » et la nourriture était tout à fait supportable, même si on ne saurait la qualifier de bonne. On dirait qu'il y a du poisson tous les jours, parfois des moules et des calamars... mais d'une manière ou d'une autre, tout est complètement insipide, sans zeste et c'est trop salé, trop gras et absolument monotone)))) mais vous ne mourrez pas de faim) et que voulez-vous de 4 étoiles ?)) Il y a aussi beaucoup de légumes et de fruits, mais la qualité laisse beaucoup à désirer... en général, la nourriture peut être compensée librement dans d'innombrables établissements et comptoirs, ainsi que dans les supermarchés, si vous avez besoin de quelque chose de plus économique. mais si la « bouffe » n'est pas une priorité pour vous, alors attendez) Le public - je ne sais pas comment le décrire...))) semble assez correct, à en juger par l'apparence, mais sans fioritures, donc dans la salle à manger avec vue sur la mer (et d'après je ne peux le dire à personne d'autre) ni le matin ni le soir et lors des programmes de concerts du soir, vous ne rencontrerez pas de visiteurs intelligents comme des femmes en talons, des robes élégantes, avec des coiffures et des hommes avec des pantalons et des chaussures))) pour que vous puissiez laisser vos tenues à la maison en toute sécurité))) le personnel , Oui ! tout le monde est très sympathique, même si le service appelé « service » est probablement encore loin))) ils peuvent utilement vous demander la permission de retirer la vaisselle usagée de la table et immédiatement frapper l'assiette sale de quelqu'un devant son nez afin pour récupérer le vôtre aussi salles à manger arr.

We stayed in a double side sea view room and it was lovely - nice, modern and very clean. Hairdryer was not included and we had to ask for it. On arrival, staff were friendly but had very little information about bus timetables etc considering Brela only had 2 restaurants open. Instead, we walked up a relatively steep hill to find the bus timetable and we luckily timed it right to catch a bus into Split - I’ve added the timetable (April 2025). Moreover, we walked to Baska Voda and took a bus to Markaska which were both very lovely and had a bit more going on. Unfortunately weather was a bit rubbish aside from two days that were sunny with a strong wind. Our main down side of our holiday was the restaurant and the food situation. Breakfast was good: juice available and a fairly good selection of food. However, dinner was not as good. Limited selection of food & poor service (no one came over to take drinks unless we called them over and even added a service charge which was unclear if it was mandatory or not). Additionally no one seemed to dress up? Maybe it’s the time of year we went but we felt quite disappointed. Overall, Brela is lovely and even out of peak we loved the scenery and restaurants outside the hotel are cheaper and seemed friendlier. Other places we visited also were lovely and would recommend as Croatia is very beautiful. Would just be nicer if the hotel had more going on (no entertainment, no games room, bars seemed closed and outdoor pool closed) and we ended up going to bed early. It would also be helpful for reception to have a map of the hotel and bus timetables.

Fun time, great location, caring staff, very good place for family with small children. ( sweet watter pool) - right on the beach. Great servis thanks to Anita( breakfasts) Zoran ( bar) and others…Great food, big Thanks to Sultana Kathun/ kind and amazing Chef!! We enjoyed it a a lot. We miss Dorothea Detelić- last year head of kids club- amazing talent working with children.

The location of the hotel is amazing; on the beach, peaceful, safe, beautiful views, and conveniently near nice shops and restaurants. The hotel itself feels like it's given up. - The wine bar had been closed for three years apparently, so no pool bar or service. - No towel hooks or rails in our room (001). - Blocked shower drain so it overflowed if you weren't quick. - Our bed was 2 singles pushed together and 2 single sheets/duvets. - The snack bar was very limited (burgers and salads. Some days, cakes). - The smart function of the TV did not work. - Many of the water features were not turned on or in working order and some used for storage. - No milk in the rooms for tea and coffee. There were a couple of fruit tea bags and small cheap sachets of instant coffee. We were told to get milk from the bar. - Gym and spa equipment out of order. The best bits were the location, the cocktails, the massages in the spa, mostly friendly staff, and we were able to check in early and check out an hour late. I would definitely visit Brela again but not at this hotel.

Pros: • The location is undeniably beautiful, offering stunning views from the sea-view rooms. • Lovely beaches are nearby, along with beachfront restaurants that provide a great dining experience. Cons: Unfortunately, our overall experience was far from pleasant. 1. Breakfast: • The food was consistently cold and far from fresh. • The fruit provided was tinned, and the juice from the machine was subpar, tasting artificial and unpleasant. • We were surprised to find that even water at the restaurant came at an extra cost. 2. Staff Attitude: • Upon arrival, the receptionist made us feel unwelcome, displaying an obvious lack of interest. 3. Parking & Accessibility: • Parking costs €9 per day and isn’t even on the hotel premises. • The hotel itself is hard to find by car, adding unnecessary stress to our arrival. 4. Room & Balcony Issues: • Our room had a persistent, unpleasant odor. • The balcony glass was cracked, making it feel unsafe. • There were only uncomfortable chairs on the balcony—no loungers or beds to relax on. • One of the tiles on the balcony was loose and coming up, which posed a potential hazard. • The bathroom tap was filthy and completely unacceptable (photos attached). 5. Hotel Appearance: • The exterior is extremely run-down and in dire need of a fresh coat of paint to make it more appealing. 6. Pool Area: • There were hardly any sunbeds available at the pool, forcing us to go to the beach instead. However, this meant paying an additional €9 per day for a sunbed, which quickly added up. 7. Restaurant Experience: • Staff require payment for drinks as you go, which disrupts the dining experience and feels overly rigid. • Dinner hours are limited to 7–9 PM, and during this time, the restaurant becomes overcrowded with long queues for food. Overall, while the location is fantastic, the hotel’s shortcomings in service, cleanliness, and overall management overshadow any positives. We would not recommend staying here unless significant improvements are made. I would definitely not class this as a four star hotel probably be closer to 3. We actually almost moved hotels in the middle of our trip as we really weren’t enjoying it and regretted booking this hotel. We also found the food signs to be incorrect one of them had vegan chilli but in allergens said milk? Made me seriously doubt how true the tags were.

The hotel is absolutely stunning on the inside, although the exterior could use a lick of paint in my opinion. Staff were all fantastic, very helpful and welcoming. Our room was perfect. Amazing view of the sea from our balcony and it was clean and well laid out. Bed was very comfy. Bathroom was lovely. Plenty of drawers and space for clothes etc. The room did come with tea, coffee and a kettle but weirdly no tea spoons? Room service was fantastic. Dinner is amazing. Always a different selection of fresh food every day. Cannot fault dinner it was wonderful every evening. Breakfast wasn't the best I've ever had. The juices aren't fresh, they're more like cordials and certain food items like the sausages and scrambled eggs arent fresh but there are a lot of other options to choose from. There was an evening at dinner when we asked a waiter for some tap water and he told us we have to pay for this. We were extremely confused and questioned this. The waiter didn't say much, he just confirmed tap water isnt free. We went to front desk after dinner to confirm if this was definitely right. The gentleman at front desk also seemed confused and doubtful of that being correct but he checked with his manager who confirmed tap water is chargeable as of this year. I find this absolutely nuts. I have never been charged for tap water in any establishment and I would expect better from a 4* hotel. It really isnt a massive issue but this really put us of buying any actual drinks in the restaurant after that as i saw charging for tap water as a sly way of gaining an extra few euros to be honest. You can literally go upstairs to your room and get tap water for free so I seriously don't understand the logic behind that. Brela is such a beautiful place. We went for 7 days in may (17th - 24th) as we wanted to avoid the busy peak season. Best decision ever! The weather was great (minus the last two days but we got to see a thunderstorm from our balcony which was amazing). We used the two rainy days to go see the spa facilities. Spa is lovely although the layout doesnt seem well planned out. The aroma room wasnt working but nobody had bothered to put a sign up or close it so myself and other people were going in and out confused. Jacuzzi is a bit nuts, there's three mode cycles, two of them are great but one of them is completely ridiculous and aggressive. Plenty of spots on the beaches. Restaurants nearby were all lovely and reasonably priced. Everyone we met in Brela was so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Beautiful town. Overall a great experience with a few minor complaints but again, nothing major. Would definitely stay again
