Don’t underestimate the steps.

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Sept 2023via mobile
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Bretanide. The food was fine for an all inclusive buffet. The drinks were self service apart from the bar in the courtyard.
There are steps everywhere. I’d torn my hamstring the week before and found getting about very very difficult. It took a few days to get my head round the layout. I never did find the pizza place from the photos, or the a la carte restaurant.
The room was lovely, overlooking the pine walk to the famous beach. Having said that lots of steps up and down to the restaurants and pools, even though I’d requested to be in the block with a lift, I was in block 4, which was actually better positioned. I was happy to find lots of free beds round the pools.
The staff were great.

      Be aware of lot of stairs in the entire resort, even the restaurant is available just by stairs. Not suitable for people with walking problems/elder people. Accomodation in pavillons, elevator is missing - available just in the main building. The room was small (Pavillon 3), the beds quite soft, uncomfortable. The food was ok, variable, tasty (except pasta), very bad/low quality coffee/espresso in the whole resort (take cappuccino). Poor afternoon snack. Fail: coctails not included, charged. Poor eventually no evening program for adults. Appeciate the beach service removing towels from occupied but not used sun beds! Bikes available for free (distance to the nearest urban area app. 1 km).

      Room tip: Ask for refurbished room (main building with elevator)

      Turned up to my appointment at 17.00 as arranged. There was no one at the desk and no one available to do my treatment. The staff seem disinterested and unwilling to help. I will not be returning as they didn’t seem to care.

      In the Bretanide hotel, I have spent 8 days of August. The hotel is very well situated, with a private beach and free sun beds. Rooms are clean and modern. Towels are not changed daily unless requested. Food in the main restaurant is good with lots of choice. La Carte restaurant Komin is a mistake. Everything oversalted and a long waiting time. Great pizza restaurant in the all inclusive option. Delicious pizza, many kinds and fast service. All inclusive alcohol good, but without whiskey. Two swimming pools clean and tidy. The guests are mainly Germans, Croats and some Poles. Five minutes walk to the famous beach Zlatny Rat. Unfortunately, the center of Bol is very far away. Well-equipped gym on site. Overall the hotel deserves four stars, but it's not cheap.

      Hotel and room was good ( we had 4 stars room ). Service was average. But all inclusive was so bad. Meat was usually terrible. Fishes were the worst. Wine was also bad but bier from germany super. I suggest look for other hotel.

      Dear 406petrv!

      First of all a warm "Dobar Dan" from the Bretanide Resort. Thank you for taking the time to review our award-winning resort. Constructive criticism is very important to us, because it is only with this that we can achieve the set standards. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

      Your comment regarding the food is incomprehensible to me, especially since the rating of our food quality is rated above average by our guests (9.3 - 9.6 out of 10). I have to reject your choice of words that our dishes are inedible.
      As every year, our house wine is selected by a jury of sommeliers and has always been well received by our guests. It is a pity that your taste was not met.
      Unfortunately I did not find a reservation under your name in the superior category. After I assume that you are still a guest in our house, I would be very happy to talk to you personally as I wrote already in the previous review. You can reach me at any time via our reception. I hope you and your wife will find a few minutes. In the meantime, I remain with the best wishes

      I’m this July for the second time in Croatia. And this hotel is like 3 Star hotel, although they face as 4 star. The food is inedible. So simple food like spinach, they are able to spoil. I was before in bluesun and the quality of food was more better. Also the wine here is like you drink aceton with sugar. Only think good here is the beer. The rooms are quite old equiped, although we have the superior after reconstruction. I agree, that the location is good. For me poor quality for big money.

      Liebe Veronikav215!

      Vorerst ein herzliches "Dobar Dan" aus dem Bretanide Resort. Danke, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, unser mehrfach ausgezeichnetes Resort zu bewerten. Konstruktive Kritik ist uns sehr wichtig, da es uns nur mit einer solchen möglich ist die gesetzten Standards zu erreichen. Für etwaige Unannehmlichkeiten möchte ich mich von ganzen Herzen entschuldigen.

      Ihre Anmerkung betreffend dem Essen ist mir unverständlich, zumal die Bewertung unserer Speisenqualität von unseren Gästen überdurchschnittlich gut bewertet wird ( 9,3 - 9,6 von 10). Ihre Wortwahl, dass unsere Speisen ungenießbar sind muss ich entschieden zurückweisen. Wie jedes Jahr wird unser Hauswein von einer Jury von Sommeliers ausgewählt und ist bei unserem Gästen immer gut angekommen. Sehr schade, dass Ihr Geschmack nicht getroffen wurde.
      Leider habe ich beim besten Willen keine Reservierung unter Ihrem Namen in der Superior Kategorie gefunden. Nachdem ich annehme, dass Sie noch immer Gast in unserem Haus sind, würde ich mich über ein persönliches Gespräch sehr freuen. Sie können mich jederzeit über unsere Reception erreichen. In der Zwischenzeit verbleibe ich mit den besten Wünschen
