Aminess Vival Velaris Resort ★★★★

"This hotel is a 3 star at best. The rooms are very dated and I agree with the last review regarding the bathrooms. We had a view of the car park. The facilities are awful, a tiny pool area far too small for the size of the resort, with completely inadequate umbrellas, a small bar area stuck in front of reception and absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever (and closed at 11am). The dining room is basically a canteen, and one night we listened to the same Rod Stewart song for 25 minutes on repeat. Outside area is good but most nights weather wasn’t good enough to sit outside. The food was the same every night and quality was very inconsistent. Breakfast is cleared away at 10am on the dot meaning a scramble to get food after 9:40. Raw eggs, stale bread, undercooked vegetables, and soup like dishwater amongst other things we encountered. Several beers listed on the dining room menu most of which were never available. On the plus side the grounds are lovely and the dining room staff are fantastic and a credit to the hotel, but we won’t be staying here again."

Hotel Osam - Adults Only ★★★★

"Fantastic hotel, 5 minute walk from the ferry terminal and bus station. The resort is small but makes for a quiet holiday which is exactly what we were looking for. We were upgraded to the harbour suite which is a stunning room, although no balcony, didn’t bother us, just to make others aware. Shower gel and shampoo are Ritual branded and smell lovely. The food is fabulous, breakfast is buffet style and dinner (for half boarders) is chosen off the menu. Really high quality and believe they were Michelin recommended for 2024. They even gave us a breakfast bag as we were checking out very early. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and can’t do enough for you. This was the case from reception, restaurant to the roof top bar. All were great. The rooftop bar was a brilliant place to sit and watch the sunset and the ferry coming and going. The pool is covered and heated with a separate area for sunbathing. There’s also a couple of saunas you can use. The smallest gripe, it would be good to trim the top of the trees which blocked the view from the sun terrace. Would absolutely stay here again for a chilled and relaxing holiday."

Waterman Beach Village ★★★★

"Lovely location - stunning beach a few minutes walk (children spent hours in the clear water snorkeling, but water shoes are a must with the sea urchins! ). Easy walk along the water into the town. Great restaurant / bar along the way - Bistro Pizzeria Vrilo, which was reasonably priced and had great views over to the mainland. Also Lidl and another supermarket very nearby. However the resort facilities were tired - ie table tennis table needed a new surface. The restaurant had wonderful views but the food wasn't that good (shown I thinkby the fact we were the only people in it the evening we went). The main disappointment however was the accommodation - we had the lodge by the road (very noisy / vibrations from trucks). The master bedroom was OK and comfy bed but the bunk room was terrible - the ladder to the top bunk was broken so my son spent the first night on the PVC sofa as he couldn't climb up. We asked to move but were told we couldn't as they were full. The ladder was patch repaired the next day but was far from ideal and were constantly concerned it would break."

Boutique Camping Bunja ★★★★

"Beautiful campsite! We stayed here during SUP11xCroatia and had a wonderful experience. The staff were exceptional, friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. A special thank you to Josipa, Argentino, Michaela, Mihaela, and Nikola, who truly made our stay unforgettable with their kindness and professionalism. We stayed in a mobile home that was modern, spotless, and very well maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The campsite is peaceful at night, and the beach is just a few meters away, making the location perfect. All facilities were excellent and impeccably clean, including the multipurpose building, sanitary facilities, and laundry area. Looking forward to visit Brač and this beautiful campsite again."

Villa Midea ★★★★

"Other reviews are valid, the only additional issue that stopped us giving 5 stars is having to negotiate 4 flights of stairs in darkness because the stairwell lights are on a timer! This a safety risk that money-pinching / environmental impact cannot justify."

ꕥ Rooms Sunce, Family Choice, Best Panoramic View, Supetar Island Brac ★★★

"Excellent friendly helpful host. Comfortable with adequate facilities. Ideal for family. We were a family of 7 adults and could cook and prepare meals adequately as a group."

Aminess Vival Casa Velaris ★★★

"We arrived here as part of a package holiday and first of all I cannot fault the staff. There was a massive mix-up with our transfer and it was assumed we were a no-show. Regardless, the staff pulled out all the stops and made a room available. To be clear - this review is for the hotel and has nothing to do with our tour operator. The site is really nice and well kept. Lonely rosemary bushes, fig- and olive trees, cypress trees. The hotel does have well appointed tennis courts, a football court and a dive centre. Sadly the rooms and public spaces are tired and overall the hotel feels outdated and basic. It feels like we stepped back in time into the 90s. The pool is very small, there are few loungers and even fewer parasols and whilst there is access to the beach, it’s crowded and very shallow. So in terms of places to relax you’re limited to your balcony or the lobby bar. The prices in the lobby bar and beach bar are steep! This afternoon we walked into the local town and even on the bay front you could get a 200ml glass of very good local wine for €4.50 in a restaurant serving local delicacies. In comparison the hotel sells a 125ml measure of wine for between €6.50 and €9.70 and you will be drinking this in far less idyllic surroundings. Many of the hotel guests are on laptops and on speaker phones working, which makes it feel more like a business hotel. Whilst other resorts, just as the TUI one next door, seem more private, plenty of people come to the beach here from all over the town if they are in accommodation without beach access. That makes it feel less exclusive and a little unfair for those of us who have paid a premium to stay in the resort vs a cheap Airbnb. It also makes the beach even more crowded. Every inch of the beach is taken and there are no loungers exclusive to the hotel. In fact there are only a handful of loungers and people move them to wherever they like and away from the beach. Maybe some staff on the beach would be good? You effectively have to pay for something from a local shop as the beach is made up of very sharp stones. You have to buy mattresses or loungers to lie on the beach. Not just a towel. Pool- or beach towels are not provided. Many of the guests are families with small children, so I wouldn’t recommend this as a couples resort. You can’t even have a drink by the pool! No glass allowed. The lobby bar is very dated and much of the furniture needs to be replaced. Strangely however there is a beautiful terrace on the top of the building - but with no furniture. This would be the perfect spot to have a drink and enjoy the gorgeous views of the coast, the sea and the mountains. Instead you sit on a terrace by the pool and hear small children scream constantly. The beach bar is also very expensive food wise. You can grab a shrimp sandwich 5 minutes from the hotel for €12. The simple sandwiches at the hotel are around €20. Sadly it closes at 7pm, so a pre-dinner drink for anyone eat"

Hotel Villa Adriatica - Adults Only ★★★★

"Have just returned from 10 days @ Villa Adriatica. Location is great - just 5-10 minutes walk to supermarket, bars, restaurants & beaches. 15 minutes walk to harbour, ferry & bus station. Our room with garden view was a little cramped but cool & modern. Bed was more comfortable than at home ! Buffet breakfast was really good & maid service was exceptional. Pool & grounds were well maintained but there would be more atmosphere if bar was open & some background music playing. Zlatan & his crew were welcoming, friendly & couldn’t have been more helpful. Great place !"
