Bluesun Hotel Soline

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.

So I’m coming to the end of another glorious 2 weeks at bluesun soline, had a little bit of an issue with my original check in but that was soon rectified thanks to Angela and Mila. I’ve been coming since 2018 and the reason being is simply I love it here . The staff really make my holiday enjoyable from the reception restaurant, bar staff and cleaners in fact everybody. Seeing how hard they all work to keep the hotel running smoothly is amazing it really is. There are pine trees at the front of the hotel and watching the cleaners trying (never ending) to make sure all pines are picked up wow really passionate about the appearance of the hotel. As I said had bit of an issue on check in but was soon rectified by Angela & Mila. The manger even sought me out to make sure everything was ok when she heard of my issue, was quite overwhelmed by the fact that she seemed to care so much wanting my stay to be as enjoyable as possible. The hotel is situated right on the beach literally a stone throw away. Brela itself is a small little village/town that has all the charm of Croatia. I wish I could stay longer but unfortunately I can’t, it’s my second visit this year and I don’t think I will ever tire of Brela or bluesun soline. Thank you to everybody at soline for making my stay feel like I’m the most important guest ever to visit the hotel.

So I’ve just recently got back from my 7th or 8th stay at soline brela I love it absolutely love it Soline is perfectly situated right on the beach at Brela. The quaint little town of Brela is perfect for me not to hustle and bustle, perfect relaxation indeed with a scattering of restaurants and the odd bar or two. Looking out from my hotel balcony onto the gorgeous Adriatic is lovely a real stunning view. The hotel has 2 bars and a swimming pool that goes inside as well as outside not the deepest pool but you have the ideally situated sea just outside. I always go the half board option which is breakfast and evening meal (dinner) it’s a buffet selection which I thoroughly enjoy the hotel has another restaurant as well if you want to choose from the menu I prefer the buffet. The staff absolutely make my stay amazing most of them remembering me from previous visits which is really nice, they work so so hard making my stay enjoyable and from what I can see everybody else’s as well always friendly polite with a warm and pleasant greeting, they all work so hard it’s a real credit to the hotel. I had a problem with my zip on my suitcase (baggage handlers) whilst asking reception for any nearby shops she insisted on getting the maintenance man to have a look for me and it was fixed very grateful indeed . I’ve been coming since 2018 often twice a year my only negative comments are the parking normally you can’t get outside the hotel BUT they have parking staff who will park your car in nearby car parks of the sister hotels and other car parks of the hotel. Then the price I know everything has gone up and I’m fully aware of everything but in my opinion there has been a real hike in price since I came 6 years ago, other than those slight things I can’t get enough of bluesun soline so much so that when they answer my email I’m back there in September

Special thx to: Angela - on reception Anita - on breakfast service Rashid + Stefan on lunch Service Fantistic Stuff with humor and the WILL that we ( the customers ) have a very good time and feel well round the clock. We see you all next time again.

So I have stayed here many times and always had wonderful experiences hence why I keep going back there BUT today I checked in with reception as you always do always being polite smiling because I know most of them and never have any problems. I was given my key and off I went to a room. Now I book a particular style of room because it’s quite spacious and the view is always fantastic and I know by booking this particular room I will get what I want and what I pay for. After arriving back at reception I explain that sorry it’s not the room I booked it’s in fact smaller and again not what I paid for, to be snapped at by the receptionist and told we are fully booked, again politely I explain yes you maybe but I booked last October and booked a specific room type/size. She disappeared briefly came back and said again we haven’t got 1 of those rooms till tomorrow no sorry no empathy in her voice whatsoever and insisting that the room I have been given is the same size as what I have booked.!! No it isn’t hence why I don’t book this type of room.!! So she then says what do you want me to say apart from we are fully booked.!! Absolutely gobsmacked by this I again say but it’s smaller again she tells me it isn’t. So I’m now in a room that I never wanted albeit only till tomorrow and the other people on reception have assured me that I will be moved tomorrow BUT maybe A do t talk to customers like that because first impressions last B be a bit understanding because if that was you in this situation I’m sure you wouldn’t be that happy.!! The other lady who I later spoke to was very apologetic and understanding I know my stay will improve because I certainly won’t be talking to her again and the rest of the staff will make up for it because they are fantastic and work tirelessly to help customers and keep the place running how it should be. But what a great start to my holiday.!!
