Bluesun Hotel Maestral

This hotel is just average! The hotel is 'Beige' no colour anywhere except around the pool area which is full of 'agapanthus,' other than that totally soulless. The staff all look miserable and barely make eye contact. They have a no towels on sunbeds policy which they don't enforce at all, Music is too loud on the speaker system around sunbeds, which is annoying especially when live music happening in the hotel beach bar close by. No TUI rep in the hotel or any contact. Transfer bus dropped at hotel entrance on arrival but when we left we had to lug our cases up a very steep incline to a waiting mini bus , hotel staff didn't even say goodbye or look up, when we left and we never complained once to them, so had no reason to be like this ! No entertainment in the hotel at all! Make sure you pay for Sea View room or you will look over a car park. Bring your own beach towel as the one they give you barely covers the bed! We had to ask every day for a week for English Breakfast Tea which is easily available in shops close by. It arrived the day we left! Good Points - Location is wonderful, set back from very overcrowded beach, lovely promenade to lots of bars, restaurants and shops . Croatia is beautiful and although we were let down by this hotel for reasons above , it was actually one of the better hotels in that area, hotel next door to us had 500 rooms and 100 sunbeds, all jammed next to each other, and the one the other side of us - had no pool at all so everyone hit the tiny beach. We did have a beautiful pool, marvellous views which we paid £400 extra for as we were there for 14 days and the hotel was clean and had a marvellous smell in public areas.

I have wanted to stay at this hotel since the moment I saw it early last year. It did not disappoint! It was absolutely stunning. Our room was beautiful with a huge comfortable bed, lovely crisp white bedding and a great shower. The grounds are immaculate with pretty blue Agapanthus framing the stunning view of the sea. The staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Roko met us on arrival and took our bags for us. He is a treasure. The Reception staff are kind and helpful. We arrived in the evening and had dinner in the hotel restaurant. The food was fine dining quality at a reasonable price. Brela is breathtaking. The beautiful coves, aquamarine sea and the backdrop of mountains just stunning. Highly recommend Arca Restaurant with tables overlooking the sea. The food was fantastic. The hotel could do with a few more sun loungers or allow you to use some of the loungers at the beach bar which were usually empty. Thank you to everyone at the Maestral Hotel for a wonderful stay. We loved it so much that we plan to return in September.

This hotel is set in a beautiful location. The hotel has been updated in the last few years and now mixes brutalist 1960’s architecture with stylish modern interiors. The hotel is clean and calming. We had a sea facing room which was perfect with a good size balcony. Again the room was cleaned everyday and was spotless and smelt amazing. Pool area was lovely with plenty of beds. Did have to chase the sun a little. But as it was quiet this was not a problem. Pool bar was great the staff (all of them) were super friendly and were fun to be around. Breakfast was really good with lots of choices; again all the staff really friendly and helpful. Receptionists/front of house really friendly and helpful. Even suggested they made us a lunch bag to take with us to the airport as we had to leave before breakfast. Brela is a beautiful location and we went at a perfect time. Not too busy and the sea was still warm. Plenty of places to eat and drink, and the beachside pathway runs for miles along the coast. Thanks to all the staff at The Maestral for an excellent week.

Perfect holiday, all staff were very helpful and friendly, hotel very quiet and relaxing, housekeeping do a fantastic job.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming boutique hotel in Brela, Croatia, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled right on the beachfront, in park-like setting, this two-story hotel offers a perfect blend of tranquility and luxury. The attention to detail in the decor and the modern amenities made our stay very comfortable. The rooms are tastefully designed, providing a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that perfectly complements the stunning seaside view. One of the standout features of this hotel is its exceptional staff. Their warm hospitality and attentive service truly made us feel at home. Whether you’re looking to relax on the pristine beach just steps away or explore the charming town of Brela, this hotel is the ideal base. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and luxurious getaway.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Brela, staying at the beautiful Hotel Maestral. It is very classy, peaceful and relaxing - perfect for couples. We were given a room upgrade to sea view (very much appreciated thankyou) and spent many relaxing hours taking in the amazing view. It was especially nice to have comfortable armchairs on the balcony - a huge improvement on the usual plastic ones! The hotel was very clean and tastefully decorated in a modern style. We loved the amazing staircase! We had a very comfortable bed and a good sized room and bathroom. Although we usually enjoy a buffet style breakfast, the menu was varied and the staff informed us on our first morning that we could order as much as we could eat! Everything was delicious and it was actually a really nice change being waited on by the very attentive and polite staff (especially Tereza who made us feel very welcome) and eating in such beautiful surroundings. We loved the location - two minutes walk to the sea and the promenade goes on for miles. Our favourite walk was when turning right out of the hotel - just stunning views! A nice surprise was that the water in Croatia is very good quality and safe to drink - no struggling back from the supermarket carrying heavy bottles of water. We went on the Hvar and Bol excursion and also got the public bus to Omis which is definitely worth seeing. From there we went on the Cetina river cruise which was amazing and incredible value at 10 euros each for one hour and twenty minutes! There was no need to book as the boats sailed quite regularly. Although the scenery in Croatia is stunning- even the airport transfer was great - we still think Brela was the best place we visited.
