This hotel is great, location is ideal, staff is helpful and friendly, and rooms are nice and clean. Breakfast was very good too. We particularly appreciated the sustainability note in the room, the fact that you can do many activities nearby (cycling, windsurfing, kitesurfing, massages…) and the lovely staff. We hope to come back soon!

Transferred to Elaphusa
We bookee to stay at bluesun borak but were transferred to bluesun elaphusa (so not sure how valid our review is). The hotel told us about the transfer several weeks in advance so gave plenty of notice, the two hotels are nextdoor so the change made no difference to our plans. Hotel elaphusa was excellent and we were very pleased with our stay!

The location of this property is great it is situated beachfront and is only a 15 minute walk from ferry port along the flat and a 10 minute walk to the famous beach. Check in was straight forward however we had to wait until 1400 to check in and the room wasn't ready until about 14.10 however we could leave our bags there. The hotel is a little bit outdated but is clean. The room was comfortable and had a balcony with table and chairs. The pool is next to the bar area and is clean. The pool however is quite cold but has plenty of sunbeds and parasols. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast which is excellent. There are cereals and continental cheeses and meats, along with a cooked breakfast, sausage tomatoes mushrooms bacon and a egg station offering ommlettes or eggs any way :) there is also a good selection of bread cakes and pastries along with hot and cold drinks. Breakfast is open 7am until 10am.

Wonderful Place.
We really liked the location, just steps to the beach. The beach bar serves the most delicious seafood, and drinks, and plays cool music. The buffet breakfast is one of the best I've had. There are so many items to choose from. Sure the place could do with an upgrade, but for the location you can't complain. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel was great however transfers from the hotel to the airport is a little difficult. I ordered a taxi TAXI CEZAR in Bol who ended up coming 30 minutes late plus he had to stop to refuel his car and in the end I missed my flight because of TAXI CEZAR on top of that he charged me through the nose for the trip.

Amazing location, very friendly and helpful staff, hall a bit empty, animation only for small children, mattresses too hard in my personal opinion, we took the half pension, breakfast ok good variaty to choose from, dinner nothing special and not too various, lots of fruit but sometimes over ripe or too unripe, could be chosen more careful, good Hamburgers at the bar, local wine prices on the high side....

Nice Friendly hotel near to beach and town
The hotel is located next to the beach and holiday facilities (scuba diving, tennis courts, boat hire etc). The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is good although more catering for German / French tastes. The pool area is excellent and with a bar and bar food located right next to it then it makes for a relaxing holiday. 5 minute walk into Bol which is very nice town with brilliant restaurants. Easy to hire a car or bike (hotel can arrange). Lots of available trips to other islands and mainland. Good bus service to Suptar where you can catch the ferry, no need for expensive taxi's.

A pleasant hotel for a week in the sun
The hotel was pleasant with helpful reception and bar staff. Our room was comfortable and clean with a mini bar/fridge and balcony. The shower over the bath was adequate but not ideal. Breakfast had a wide choice of foods at a buffet. The staff were not friendly and the breakfast room noisy like a college refectory. Food was quickly removed at 10.00am so don't be late! The pool was nice with sun loungers and the entertainment staff worked hard for the children and adults. The hotel was ideally located about ten minutes stroll from both the town and the main beach.

Vacations to remember
Hotel location is amazing. Almost on famous beach and near the old town. This is the paradise for windsurfing and bike riding. Food is good, hotel and room is clean and service is fair. Reception service is very good. Nights are silent without loud music and noise. We wi'll come back for sure next year.

Great location for a stay in Bol
Only a 10 minute walk along a well lit paved walkway in to the town centre where there is a selection of bars and restaurants. Opposite a nice beach and 10 minute walk in the opposite direction to the main beach of Zlatni Rat. Great swimming pool, although mattresses on beds would have been nice. Good breakfast, but we didn't have half board. Pleased about this choice as there was a range of restaurants to go to, and the hotel evening meal has 2 sittings (starting at 6.30 or 8.15) which would have restricted us. Special thanks to Mati on the entertainments team who got to know everyone and always smiling. However the loud pool music got too much and we finally ended up paying for sunbeds on the beach where it was quiet. Please think about this management as not everyone wants to listen to music all day. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we would go back again.

Nice hotel, very close to lovely beaches.
Great holiday in a nice hotel in a good location. Enjoyed walking into town each evening along the paved and lit pathway, although it was perhaps a little further than I was expecting. Beaches and pool were lovely, crystal clear sea. Went on an amazing speed boat excursion to the Blue and Green Caves organised through the hotel - expensive but worth it. Hotel was nice, although we did not get the partial sea view which we booked. Bathroom in need of refurbishment as shower temperature was temperamental as was the stability of the shower head. No bath plugs in the entire hotel so not possible to make use of the bath or to fill up the sink. All hotel staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Bit of a trek to get there from Split airport if ferries not timed well - as ours weren't due to a flight delay - 4 1/4 hours from landing at Split to the hotel. Next time I would splash out on a speed boat transfer from Trogir or spend a night in Split either side of the holiday.

Underwhelming
Very touristy, busy and crowded area. Hotel room was small. Loud live music played outside our room every night until midnight. Room said seaview, but was nearly impossible to see sea beyond hotel pool and pine trees. Planned to spend time relaxing on the balcony, however did not use balcony due to noise and underwhelming view. Very disappointed with this hotel - would not recommend, and will not be returning.

Great All Rounder
As a family of four (children 10 & 7) we spent 4 nights here in July. Great location with good pebbly beach for swimming and other activities, good hotel swimming pool and varied and quality food. Easy and enjoyable stroll into Bol. Probably our favourite overall Hotel in 2 weeks travelling around Croatia.
