Bluesun Hotel Neptun - All Inclusive

Front desk staff was generally disconnected/disinterested. The entire hotel common areas, hallways, lobby etc had an overpowering and obnoxious perfume smell to the point of getting a headache ! Not sure what it was masking ? Food was well below average or acceptable so we ate all meals offsite. Drinks were also poor as not fresh juice was available for mix- just syrup type. Gin/Tonic or Vodka/soda are the only option really. Wine was very poor and usually served warm along with ice cubes. The room was nicely updated and the A/C worked well. The rest of the experience and property was disappointing. Would not stay again.

Beautiful pool area, very clean and easy access to the beach!

The hotel itself was nice, but the food was barely eatable.

Positives first: The setting is genuinely beautiful. You are right on the beachfront with crystal clear calm water to swim in. A short walk along the promenade is lined with shops and bars which will take you to Tucepi. In the other direction is a more strenuous hour trip to Makarska up hills and through woods to reach the marina. The pool was lovely and spacious, nicely shaped with the mountains as a backdrop while swimming. After looking around I feel it was one of the nicest pools in the area. The hotel seemed nice and clean - your room could be made up every day if required. Free safe in room.. Each room had a small balcony with table and chairs. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom. Bed was a double with 2 single duvets. Rooms were kept nice and cool. My negatives: My negatives may not affect everyone but will certainly prevent me returning to this hotel. Firstly as in many of the other reviews the drinks were of very low quality and this was both alcoholic and soft. I found the beer drinkable and one of the cocktails but the others were quite unpleasant - they had that very harsh taste you can get. You could buy premium drinks in the bar. We went out of the hotel for a couple of amazing cocktails later in the week. The food - Our party consisted of 2 vegans, 1 vegetarian and 1 meateater. There was very little choice for vegetarian and virtually nothing for vegan except fruit and salad. It got quite depressing as the week went on. Add to this not all the food was labelled or unclearly labelled so our vegetarian daughter got something labelled mushroom pasta which we then found had little cubes of chicken in. This was really unacceptable. On a day trip out we asked to be provided with a vegetarian packed lunch - the bags came with apple, banana, kiwi, orange and a tomato....no bread, cake, cheese??? We knew choices may be limited but we were beyond disappointed. The only plus was a carton of soya milk. Can't comment too much on the meat side of things, lots of choice but the cuts looked very tough. I would not want to pay summer holiday prices at this hotel. No entertainment to speak of day or night. Saw a couple of entertainment people in the day play table tennis. Other things: There was a small gym which we did not use. Pool towels were provided in gym, 100 kuna deposit each. We didn't have to pay a tourist tax although Jet 2 gave us the impression we would have to so I guess it was included in our price. Range of excursions can be arranged - there is the skywalk in the mountains, Krka waterfalls, Split and Mostar. I went to Krka waterfalls with our travel provider. It was a lovely place but a gruelling 31/2 hours on coach with lots of pick ups. This is my second time in Croatia and I would love to go back again but not here. I need to choose much more carefully for my dietrty requirements and love of alcohol!!
