Fantastic place. We went for 9 days and loved every minute. Stunning location, cottage was fantastic and food and drink excellent. The highlight of our stay though was without a doubt Yury and the animation team. The programme they run has something for everyone and they deliver it with so much energy, positivity and authentic friendliness. Highly recommended, especially if you have children who want to get involved in a variety of activities.

We had a wonderful 5 days at the hotel. The sea in the area is amazing, completely clean. The hotel (and other parts of the property) is located in a small quiet bay with a view of the islands of Hvar and Vis. Although the hotel does not have a beach directly and you need to be prepared for a regular descent to the sea (which is about a 3-minute walk), there are pontoons, a children's castle, and sun loungers on the rocks. However, the beautiful pools are in the immediate vicinity. We were satisfied with the food, for the price it was exactly what we expected. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful vacation.

My partner and I stayed at the Gava Waterman Island Cottages from 5th to the 12th Aug, staying in one of their Vineyard Cottages with Shared Pool which we booked as an Easyjet holiday. Transfer Firstly the transfer from Spilt to the resort was really easy and shouldn't be a reason not to stay at this resort. Easyjet use a private company to take you from the airport to the ferry port in Split. We waited for our transfer for about 10 minutes, we had an 8 person minivan and shared with a family of 5. The ferry ride across to Brac Island was pleasant. Once you arrive at Supestar port, a second car takes you on to the resort. Took about two hours in total. CheckIn We arrived at around 12pm so our room wasn't quite ready they said to check back every now and then as it may be ready sooner than 3pm. We left our luggage at reception, were given our wristbands and a short tour which ended at the restaurant where we had our lunch. At around 1pm we were informed that our room was ready. Room Our room was lovely, immaculatly clean. Plenty of storage which is a rarity. Air-conditioning was excellent. Our shared pool was very clean as was the decking area. A suggestion to improve the room is to have a small seating area as there is room, some art work above the bed would also be nice.(looking at photos online there should have been a chair and some art work). Shower was good. WiFi was good. In room safe was free to use. Restaurant Food got better as the week went on, the beef brisket on Thursday night was good as was the asian themed night, always something to eat but meal times very quickly became a quick event, usually in and out within 15 minutes. Breakfast and Dinner were better than Lunch. Pool The three swimming pools and tanning areas are well kept and clean. The pools were not overly chlorinated so no sore eyes. No pool is allocated to adults only so children playing in all three which didn't really bother us. Bring your own beach towels otherwise there is a charge of €15 for the week. Pool Bar Drinks were fine, standard all Inclusive. No branded items unless you wanted to pay extra. Ice Cream from outdoors pool bar was lovely but sadly only had cones the first day after which it was a cup of ice cream with a wooden stirer, no spoons. Evening Entertainment The entertainment staff work really hard and try to get the kids up for mini disco etc but entertainment for adults was lacking. I was expecting a quiz for the"Trivia Night" but it was more of a game with people running up to give answers. The area used for entertainment needs some money to improv it. The pool bar was the only place to get drinks of an evening. Drinks were always served in plastic cups. Spa On our second and final day we both had 60 minute aromatherapy massages which were great. The prices were suprising for a resort spa with both massages only costing €90, at other resorts we have easily spent this much each. Location The resort is very remote. Milna is about a 35/40 minute walk which it was far too hot for, taxis can be booked costing about €15 euros each way but to be honest there isn't much to see once there. Excursions seemed expensive (approx €150 pp) these we're boat trips to neighbouring islands. We wanted to visit Krka National Park but after pricing it up (Taxi to Supestar, Ferry to Split, Car Hire, Entry Tickets, Return Ferry and Return Taxi) it would have easily cost over €300 which seemed a lot, we're also warned about the sometimes 2 hour queues to get on a ferry to Split so we decided to rent a car for the day to visit different beaches on Brac, this cost €170 for a Opel Astra, from the hire company in resort. The car was not particularly well kept, have a fair few debts and scratches. In all honesty there is very little to see and we were back within 3 hours, only so many viewing points you can visit and parking was all day rates. Overall The spa, pools and our accommodation were lovely and deserves the 4* rating, sadly, food, drinks and entertainment wouldn't be anymore than a 3*. The staff were all excellent and very welcoming, those serving food were always so friendly. I wish we had done more research in to the surrounding area as there was really nothing to do even when having the car, my partner and I aren't ones to spend hours lying in the sun.

A praia do hotel e a estrutura que construíram na beira mar é realmente excelente. A equipe de animação também era muito boa, pessoal alegre e gentil.. Em especial Ivan e Gui Gui. A parte da piscina também era muito agradável e bonita. O hotel é novo, mas tem seus problemas. Primeiramente porque o restaurante mais parece um bandejao, cantina de universidade. E a comida realmente deixou muito a desejar! Foi sem dúvida a pior parte... Para o café da manhã haviam opções, mas o que deveria ser quente estava ou frio ou morno quase frio. Faltaram também opções de pães. Só havia pão de forma branco e baguete. Nenhuma opção integral ou variedade todo dia. Nos 7 dias comemos a mesma coisa. Os sucos também eram terríveis e sempre havia fila pra máquina de café ou para se servir. . No almoço e jantar o mesmo problema... Comida ou morna ou fria e as sobremesas foram uma decepção a parte. Realmente tudo de muita baixa qualidade. Muitas cores e texturas e zero sabor. Além da decepção com a comida, o fato de não ter sequer uma garrafa de água no quarto é imperdoável para um Resort 4 estrelas. O frigobar era completamente vazio! E os travesseiros extremamente altos e sem opção. Eu e meu esposo tivemos dores no pescoço e costas nos dias em que estivemos hospedados. Não creio que voltaria a me hospedar neste hotel.
