At the end of August, my husband and I rested at the Maestral 3 * hotel, which is in the small village of Brela, two kilometers from the town of Baska Voda. The hotel is small but clean and comfortable. We lived in a double room on the second floor overlooking the sea. The room has everything you need: TV, air conditioning, minibar, telephone, bathroom with new fixtures, hair dryer (not very convenient), free safe (which is not typical for a 3 * hotel), a large balcony with a table, two armchairs and a clothes dryer . The furniture is old but in good condition. Cleaned the room and changed towels every day, bed linen - every other day. The hotel staff is very friendly, all requests were fulfilled immediately.
We took only breakfast, which was somewhat monotonous. You could have lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant, but we preferred the Puntu Rata restaurant, and we especially liked the Stari Hrast cafe, which translates as old oak. The cafe is small, but very cozy and the choice of dishes is simply huge, for every taste.
The beaches in Brela are small pebbles, but very narrow. Three hundred meters from the hotel there is the famous beach of Punta Rata, which is a little wider, but as crowded as all the others. After 11.00 it is very difficult to find a free place. But we are early "birds", at 11.00 we were already leaving the beach, so we had no problems with a place by the sea. The water in the sea is clear even at great depths, during the entire time of our stay there was never a storm.

Animation in the hotel 1-2 times a week only for children and then in English or German, there are no discos. It only pleased us, because. it is much more pleasant in the evening to enjoy the splash of the sea, the noise of pines and the chirping of cicadas, and not the rumble of mediocre modern music. In general, Brela is designed for a quiet, relaxing holiday. Lovers of wild nights do not come here.
The hotel staff does not speak Russian, but if you speak English or German, at least as part of the school curriculum, then there will be no problems.
Croatia is a very beautiful country with amazing nature and ancient history. Be sure to visit Krka Park, Biokovo Mountain and Dubrovnik, these are stunningly beautiful and interesting places. Yes, and also visit the Diocletian's Palace in old Split. You can’t even believe that this palace was built in 305, it has been preserved just fine. We are very sorry that we did not manage to visit the Plitvice Lakes, they say they are amazing.
Two weeks of our vacation flew by unnoticed, but we intend to definitely come back here again and recommend everyone to visit Croatia at least once.
