Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa

"Very nicely located hotel, we had a quiet, relaxing vacation. The food was tasty and varied, the grounds well-maintained and the staff very friendly and nice."

"While the hotel has a lot going for it in terms of location and cleanliness, several service and dining issues prevent it from living up to a true 4-star rating—especially given the price point. The Positives: Clean & Quiet: The hotel is very clean, clutter-free, and was exceptionally quiet during our October visit. (Not sure if it's good or bad) Fantastic Location: It's just a short walk to the town center and right next to the crystal-clear sea. It is also in an excellent spot for walking to Zlatni Rat beach. Facilities & Housekeeping:Housekeeping did a great job keeping things spotless. The indoor pool is lovely, and the dining area is pleasant to look at. The bed/mattress and pillows were excellent for a good sleep. Standout Staff: A special mention to the Asian staff members, who were consistently smiling, warm, and welcoming. Transport/Taxi: if you need urgent taxi the reception can arrange. We needed one for emergency and the drive Yadra was so very helpful picking and dropping us. Areas for Improvement: Service & Warmth: Unfortunately, local management and front desk reception staff could use some customer service training and better hospitality. A simple smile and a welcoming attitude would go a long way. While the local staff work hard, they often come across as cold rather than hospitable. Disappointing Dining Experience: If you expect a 4-star dining experience, you may want to look elsewhere. The food is very repetitive, largely fried, and lacks flavor. Dessert options are sparse, and once popular dishes run out during the first hour, they are not restocked. It feels heavily cost-cut, which doesn't match the hotel's room rates. The menu is even worse if you choose lunch as items are limited and they don't get stocked. Accessibility: Despite being marketed as a 4-star property, there are quite a few steps throughout the hotel. If you are traveling with young children in strollers or have mobility issues, navigating the property can be a challenge. Extra Fees & Special Occasions: Amenities like the pool table and indoor bowling require cash payments. Also, if you are visiting to celebrate a special occasion, don't expect any recognition or acknowledgment from the hotel. Don't have much expectations. They would not even wish you. A Note on Travel (Especially in the Shoulder Season): If you are visiting in October with young kids or mobility concerns, keep the logistics in mind. Getting to Bol from Split requires taking a ferry to Supetar and then a connecting ride across the island, taking about 2 to 2.5 hours total. Ferries run roughly every two hours, which is something to keep in mind for peace of mind. Aircon: Runs on fixed temperature of 22 degrees. The only option that works on it is switching it off. Jet2 holidays: it was a packaged holiday there was no representative at the hotel. Luckily did not need to get in touch. Final Verdict: If you have stayed at all-inclusive resorts in places like Spain, Turkey, or the Canary Islands, you might find the service and food here disappointing. For the price, we expected a warmer, more polished 4-star experience. Might work well if you want to have a nice holiday on diet. Handy tips: One way to supertar by taxi costs about 90Euro, there is a bus service from town it takes for ever to reach. But the route is scenic. The ticket price is around 8euro The ferry to split costs 6euro and it's quite a decent service. Also remember it's an island you might not get everything you needed. There are small supermarkets for basic stuff, pricing might be little higher."

"The Elphusa is a good hotel. Pleasant reception staff. Rooms are small but modern and light. Breakfast was a little chaotic at times as they frequently ran out of bowls, spoons and coffee cups but the food was hot and tasty. The temperature of the swimming pools was absolutely freezing 🥶. However a good stay all round"
