Великолепная Брела! Gorgeous Brela!

We rested in this hotel for 11 days, went from the tour operator "Tez Tour". We have been visiting Croatia for the second year in a row, because we literally fell in love with this small country with its amazing nature, clear sea and friendly people. The first time we were in 5 * and therefore when we went to the Marina, the official category of which is 3 *, we were not particularly encouraging ourselves about the quality of services at the hotel. Sometimes they write that the category of Marina is 3+, but it falls short of 4x, because. She doesn't have her own pool. This did not frighten us at all, because we are going to Croatia to swim and enjoy the Adriatic Sea, and not swimming in the pool. But still, for those who like to "swim" in the pool, it is important to note that the Bluesun Maestral hotel is located nearby, the pool of which is also available for vacationers in the Marina.
If we talk about the location of the hotel, then it is an hour's drive from the airport in Split. This road will not seem tedious, because you will observe incredible sea and mountain landscapes, you will pass the city of Omiš , which used to be a pirate town and now still retains this pirate spirit, and, of course, you will be shown the National Nature Park of Croatia - Mount Biokovo.
Well, now directly about the hotel. It itself is low, only 5 floors and consists of 3 buildings - A, B and C. We were settled in building A, which, as we later learned, is the main one there, with an honest view of the sea. There were also people who booked a room overlooking the park, but an unpleasant story happened to them. First, they were placed in a room whose windows overlooked the wall of the neighboring building, so there could be no talk of any park, but the second time they were given a room with a side view of the park. In general, it is better not to spare two hundred euros initially, buying a room with a sea view, so that later it would not be excruciatingly painful.

The hotel does not have its own beach, and frankly, in Croatia you rarely find a hotel that has its own beach. Most of the beaches here are municipal, but the entrance to them, of course, is free, but only sunbeds and umbrellas are paid (25 kunas per day). It is literally 30 meters from the Marina to the beach, you just need to go down the stairs that pass through the pine park, where lovely coniferous aromas hover, cicadas sing and early in the morning you can even see squirrels jumping from branch to branch. The beach itself is pebbly, very clean with a gentle entry into the sea, which is very convenient for both children and adults. A little further on is the Punta Rata beach, marked with the blue flag of UNESCO and one of the cleanest beaches on the Adriatic coast. Quite a lot of people put on water slippers, in which they went into the sea and swam, so that it was easy to walk on pebbles. We didn’t feel much discomfort, we also didn’t feel mortal pain, and therefore we didn’t buy slippers. But this is, as they say, up to you; )
The food at the hotel is good, but at the end of the holiday, the same type of breakfasts (omelettes, scrambled eggs, sausages, cheeses, cereals, etc. ) are already rather tired. In fairness, it should be said that the dinners were more varied, each evening of our stay included different dishes of both national and European cuisine, often Italian (various risottos, pizzas, bologneses, spaghetti... ). I especially remember the cakes, different every day, with different fillings... I still remember them : )) There were also fruits, but their quality was sometimes "lame": melons were unripe, unsweetened watermelons, plums too. By far the biggest inconvenience was that for dinner ALL drinks are paid, but this is the order in all half boards.
A noticeable disadvantage for young people here is the lack of entertainment. The town of Brela itself is small, quiet, with many cafes. There are catastrophically few animations in the hotel, so if the main purpose of the visit is to hang out, definitely choose another place. It is ideal for young families with children, married couples, pensioners, but, I repeat, not for noisy companies.
The room was very clean. Every day, not only wet cleaning was carried out, but also the floors were washed, towels were changed. Bed linen is changed every 5 days, but pillowcases are changed every day. In general, it is impossible to find fault with the cleaning, since there was not even a hint of dust and dirt in the room.
For those who are in Croatia for the first time, I highly recommend going on an excursion to Plitvice Lakes, the beauty is extraordinary, as if in paradise! There you will take a lot of beautiful photos and see the masterpieces created by nature!
So feel free to go to Croatia, to Bluesun Marina and don't worry about anything. This country will enchant you and I am sure that you will DEFINITELY come here again!
