Maestral Adults Exclusive Hotel

I give the Hotel Bluesun Maestral five stars for its wonderful modernist design and beautiful setting in lovely Brela. The hotel is surrounded by groves of pine trees and fronts an endless stretch of very swimmable beaches and a promenade that runs for several miles. The hotel building itself is an architectural gem, recently restored from its early 60s heyday. Our room was comfortable and the dining room food was excellent. There's a nice pool, and a beach club with lounge chairs closer to the sea (though we were unsure why we needed to pay extra to sit at the latter location.) The hotel doesn't offer too much more in the way of services, but no matter: We were just grateful to have it as a base to explore this very pretty part of Croatia, and we thoroughly enjoyed a happy, peaceful few days there. One thing to note: There are a few other Bluesun hotels in Brela. The Maestral appears to be a bit smaller than the others, but I'd still choose it, just for the simple perfection of its historic design.

We had a great family time at the Bluesun resort in Brela, Croatia. Ms. Ana Medic, the resort manager was just amazing. She was wonderful and made sure our stay was fantastic throughout our holiday at the hotel. The hotel is great and the location is simply amazing! It's right next to the beach and accessing the Adriatic sea is so much easy from the resort. The promenade next to the hotel is great, with some nice eateries around the place. The hotel is super clean and has been recently renovated. Everything was nice about the hotel including the breakfast which was very lavish and had a great spread. My daughter had a great time too as there is so much to do for kids in the hotel including great arts and crafts workshop. We would love to come back here for our next holiday in Croatia. Highly recommended!

Beautifully designed modernist hotel from the 1960s, impeccably restored a few years back. Surrounded by groves of pine trees, a quick walk from a handful of perfect beaches. Nice, accommodating staff and good restaurant. Only down side was having to pay to use the better sun loungers at the beach club; a strange set up. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

- Excellent food - friendly and helpful staff -very nice and clean rooms -just a step away from the sea ................

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. But the room is located in a neighbouring building with windows to the parking lot and on the very same level. No balcony, but in that location that would not have been usable anyway. Room is clean. But shower tends to cause flooding and soap has been empty. Towels are of minor quality and seem to indicate approx. one million washings. Safe does not work. Parking is too small for hotel.

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.

Parking was a bit tricky. Careful with the hotel names, there are three Bluesun hotels. Besides that the Maestral was amazing 👏

The great: the location right by the beautiful beach, the service at the reception that were so helpful and kind, breakfast buffet was amazing with champagne, assorted gluten free and dairy free options, and a la carte options as well. The hotel es beautiful and so well designed. We wished we could have stayed longer. The pool and surrounding is amazing and beautiful. It has parking as well so it is very convenient. The good: dinner buffet had a variety of 3 main courses to choose. The bad: the beach club seemed from a different property, lack of personnel and the ones who were there were rude. Since it is a public beach it is so crowded.

Reception check in was fast and informative,parking could have been free. Room was ok with a kettle they could have put some free water bottles in the fridge for the room rates but the room floor was superb easier than a carpet to be cleaned, but if you ask for a make up room try wiping or moping the floor, not only collecting the garbage and folding the sheets. Sorry but the floor was still filled with hairs and dirt between the sink and bowl aswell as the for corners of the room. Breakfast was ok, but service was slow, the personal around the restaurant and bar should train more and be informative and it was only on our 4th morning a Waitress offered along with our latte order at breakfast if we wanted fresh squeezed juices. The idea of A la carte’ breakfast was good but minimized the portion a bit more so not many food would go to waste and they should instead make a station for water, juices,brewed coffe. Easier for costumers to get themselves. The whole hotel, pool and location was cozy, wonderful and superb. Would I stay again sure’ would I refer it to people of course, did I get the value for the money I paid for my stay not so sure yet as I’d have not yet experienced the other places in the neighborhood so I have nothing to compare it to yet’but wordly I’d say it could go down a few notch on the rates.. but BLUESUN is now on my radar aswell along with the other chains we use out in the world when we travel
