We recently wrapped up a wonderful ten day stay at the Bluesun Hotel Jadran with our dog, and it truly lived up to its five star rating. The entire property radiates a calm, nice, and family oriented atmosphere. The location is excellent for walking: it is just a brief ten minute walk to Tucepi, and a beautiful forty five minute walk by the seaside with great views will take you straight to Makarska. If you want more hub hub, Makarska is also just an eight minute drive away, offering plenty of shopping and food options along its seaside promenade, which continues all the way up towards Split. For history lovers, Split and Dubrovnik are absolute must see destinations. Split is about an hour and fifteen minutes drive away and offers a rich history combined with lively night entertainment, a vibrant atmosphere, and great food options. For a relaxing getaway with great exploration choices, this hotel location is absolutely perfect. Size wise, it is not an overwhelming grandeur level resort. Instead, it strikes the perfect balance: larger than a boutique hotel, yet smaller and more intimate than a massive all inclusive complex. It is spotlessly clean and provides absolutely everything you could require, including two beautiful swimming pools, a spa, a sauna, and massage services, all located right next to the beach. ### Divine Intercontinental Breakfast Our stay included breakfast daily, and it was exceptionally good. They serve a fantastic intercontinental breakfast where the quality shines through. The spread offers a wonderful variety, from different cheeses and salamis to cereals and eggs prepared perfectly. A massive compliment goes to Cook Chief Matthew for the delicious breakfast setup each day, and to Bakery Chef Dalibor, who makes croissants that are honestly better than French ones! It was the perfect way to start each morning. ### The Highlights: A Team That Feels Like Family The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. By the end of our ten days, I truly felt like I was staying in a room inside a family home. * **Hotel Manager Ana:** She deserves special recognition for her helpful and friendly attitude. She really listens to guests and ensures a high standard. * **The Reception Crew:** A special thanks to **Ivana, Karlo, Helena, and Josip**. They welcomed everyone with a genuine, smiley face every single day, and I am incredibly grateful for their help with my dog, Shans, whenever it was needed. * **The Entertainment Team:** **Ivana and Matko** are absolutely great. They bring a vibrant, young energy and spirit to the hotel. * **The Kitchen and Restaurant Team:** The entire dining team was helpful and friendly. A special shoutout to **Jane Reiche** for her wonderful recommendations on places to visit around the area. ### A Note on the Beach and Public Access The hotel sits directly next to a beautiful beach area. It is important to note that under local laws, beaches are open to the public, meaning the hotel does not have a private, dedicated hotel beach. Because outside visitors can freely use the space, some individuals from the outside unfortunately leave their cigarette butts behind, seemingly expecting the hotel staff to clean up after them. This is incredibly unfair to the property. There really should be strict enforcement and penalty procedures in place for littering to stop this kind of attitude and keep the coast pristine. ### Final Verdict The outstanding leadership of Ana, the divine breakfast creations by Matthew and Dalibor, the pristine cleanliness, and the perfect beachside location make this a property I highly recommend to everyone. Above all, it is the incredible hospitality of the reception crew and the fantastic young energy of the entertainment team that turn this hotel into a true home away from home. We look forward to returning.

“A 5 star hotel. yes..............but not a luxury 5 star hotel”

Review based on Superior Double room with sea view and balcony This hotel gets 5 stars for its location and facilities, 2 pools, gym, spa, meeting rooms etc. Our room was spotlessly clean, A/C was quiet and efficient, plenty of clean towels and lots of space. The decor is minimalistic and functional. Sleep quality was very good. The food is very good and of a wide international variety. The choice at breakfast is exceptionally good, Restaurant service is efficient and friendly. All the staff cope well with English. The beach restaurant is very good with a wide, fixed menu. Drink prices are very reasonable. Front desk service is excellent. Those are all the very good things, but there is a downside which in our worldwide travel experience denies it 5 stars. FIRST, this is a very large, very busy, family HOLIDAY hotel so there are lots of children making lats of noise (but the large pool bar is peaceful and comfortable.) SECONDLY, all meals are buffet, so there is a continuous traffic while you are eating. We have never been to an hotel with so much badly chipped china !!! After a week the "sameness" of the menu tires. There is no a la carte alternative restaurant (5 stars????) THIRDLY......beach beds and pool beds cost 12 Euros a day, EACH (parasols extra) but there are fresh, free beach towels every day FOURTHLY................in-room refreshments are minimal, not even a small biscuit to go with the two tea bags and two coffee sachets. 5 star hotels usually provide complimentary bottled water and a Nespresso machine . If you want to use the minibar, you have to order and pay up front for it to be stocked. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the good points of the Jadran, comfortable, efficient and spacious but did not find the quiet luxury which should go with 5 stars.

Nice hotel,spotlessly clean.. Lacks a nice relaxing lounge bar for an evening drink meaning you had to walk into Tucepi for a drink. Restaurant adequate but closes at 9.00 pm and they were clearing everything away from 8.30 and whilst they didn’t actually asked you to leave, you were probably last customer by 9.15. Specialist restaurants were not open whilst we were there. My other main gripe was hotel charged for sunloungers and umbrellas on the beach.

We chose Bluesun Jadran based on its outstanding reviews and 5-star rating, expecting something truly special. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we’ve had. We stayed in a seafront room with a beautiful view of the sea, which was undoubtedly the highlight. However, the room itself was surprisingly ordinary, oddly designed, and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I’d rate the room no more than 3 out of 5 stars. The hotel’s location is genuinely beautiful, but it’s hard to understand why guests paying around €500 per night are expected to pay an additional €30 per day for sunbeds. That simply doesn’t match the expectations of a 5-star hotel. The hotel also felt understaffed. Common areas weren’t kept particularly clean, and there were old inflatable mattresses and other discarded items tucked away around the property, giving the impression that maintenance wasn’t a priority. The biggest disappointment was the restaurant. The dining room had the atmosphere of a school cafeteria rather than a luxury hotel, and the food was equally uninspiring. We were honestly amazed by the many glowing reviews praising the food, as it was by far the weakest part of our stay. The outdoor terrace overlooking the sea is lovely, but unfortunately the setting couldn’t make up for the quality of the dining experience. The gym was another letdown. There was no air conditioning, making it almost impossible to use the treadmill, especially during the summer. The equipment was also very limited. Fortunately, we had only booked two nights, which felt like enough. I’m not someone who expects extreme luxury, but when paying premium prices and booking a hotel marketed and reviewed as a 5-star property, I do expect a level of quality that simply wasn’t delivered. If you’re an experienced traveler choosing this hotel because of its exceptional reviews and 5-star status, I believe there’s a good chance you’ll leave disappointed. The location is beautiful, but almost everything else fell well short of expectations.
