Our 2nd holiday in the idilic town of Bol (Brać island). Yet again, we weren't disappointed. The location is perfect for us, quiet but with plenty to do. Bluesun Elaphusa remains a very good base. It is spotlessly clean, the food is good, and the staff excellent.

Fabulous little hotel in an excellent location. Very clean & modern having been completely refurbished. Staff are exceptional, very friendly, polite & helpful. Dominic, Mary, Igor, Darko, David, Nikola, & Daniel to name but a few. Food is excellent & varied. Rooms are lovely albeit on the small side & could do with more storage but we managed fine. Tea/coffee making would have been nice also. Pool area is lovely & was very quiet when we were there, always plenty of sunbeds! No entertainment as such, although a very good local singing group came once a week. The hotel is situated right on the seafront only separated from the waters edge by a beautiful tree lined promenade which is gorgeous to walk along anytime of day. 10 - 15 mins walk (if you don't stop for photo taking) into beautiful Bol one way & the stunning Zlatni Rat beach the other way. Plenty of cafes/bars along the way too. Would recommend hiring a car for a couple of days to explore the island, very scenic & lots of pretty villages, beaches & harbours. A trip up the mountain (Vidova Gora) behind Bol is a must, great views. You can hike or drive up there. The Dominican Monastery in Bol also worth visiting. Lots of boat trips from Bol harbour, we took a Katamaran to Split for the day & did a walking tour, well worth a visit. All in all a fantastic place to stay, but be prepared for the long journey from the airport to the hotel. Much longer than anticipated, took over 4 hours, but definitely worth it.🙂

This is a wonderful hotel in a fabulous location. It is right opposite the beach and within very easy reach of the centre of Bol and the famous Zlatni Rat beach. It is very clean with a modern, laid back, mid century design style. The food is very good with a wide selection at breakfast and dinner, both buffet style. Drinks are extra. Staff are polite and efficient. Unlike other hotels we’ve stayed in recently, there is no mad rush for sun beds in the morning - no towels down at dawn! There is plenty of space around the pool and in front of the bar. Guests are mostly casually dressed and this adds to the relaxing feel. However, do check before you book that there are no large conference parties arriving. The end of our stay was less good than the beginning as hoards of young lawyers arrived. This turned the large dining room into bedlam! It was hard to find tables, hectic and very noisy. Also, they partied on their balconies way into the night which made a quiet hotel far less peaceful. Having said that, the staff coped brilliantly. A minor niggle, but it would put me off staying again if guest numbers were at this level. Dinner is only 7pm to 9pm. It could do with being a bit longer as things start to get cleared away about 8.30pm. It would also be nice if there was more outdoor seating as on warm days, tables get used up very quickly.

We stayed here for a week in early September and could not have been happier with our stay! The hotel is modern throughout, extremely clean and comfortable. We were half board and the food was excellent. Plenty of choice each day for breakfast and dinner. The staff are excellent, particularly Dominic on reception, very friendly and knowledgable of the area. The location was perfect for us as everything is within walking distance (beaches, Bol town, supermarket). We hired a court at the tennis club next door which we would highly recommend!

We had a fabulous week in Bol. The hotel is very comfortable and modern with lovely renovated rooms, ours had a nice view of the pool and sea beyond. We enjoyed walking along the tree lined path into Bol which is pretty and has a good selection of restaurants and cafes. You can catch various ferries from there or a local bus/coach to Supetar which we did. It is 6 euros one way but only 6.6 euros return and you can pay on the bus. Supetar is small but has a very pretty harbour and a small beach. It is also nice to walk to Zlatni Rat beach where there are water sports and cafes but it is a stony beach and was very busy. The food at Hotel Borak was delicious! A great selection every night and we enjoyed it very much, especially the Croatian night with singers. We were glad we chose half board. We loved it and will certainly go back.

The hotel is freshly renovated and very pleasant. Not too big, so guests feel like they are getting a personalised welcome and treatment. Actually, among the many strong points of this hotel (pool, proximity to the sea, location close to the famous zlatni rat beach) the strongest for us has been by far the professionalism, friendliness and outstanding support of its staff. From Dominik at the reception, to Mery at the restaurant, to Karlo and Luca in the kitchen (and we are forgetting many more), we have fond and great memories of all those whom we met in the hotel. We will surely be back!
