“Loved Bol”

ClubHotel Riu Bonaca

Sep 30, 2008

Just spent a week at the Hotel Bonaca. Hotel is quite basic but very clean and perfectly adequate. Food is excellent. All inclusive drinks are a bit limited but you can always find something to drink. The wine is very strong! The resort of Bol and indeed Croatia is absolutely beautiful. So unspoilt and very picturesque. Make sure you take advantage of the free bikes for hire at the hotel. This is a lovely way to see the Island of Brac. English are in the minority at this hotel but tended to stick together and make their own entertainment. The hotel entertainment leaves a lot to be desired, mainly aimed at the Germans. We went end September and there werent any English children there. So take note if you have children. There was a kids club, but was totally German. The tranfer from Split airport is a bit long winded but worth the trip as the Island of Brac is gorgeous. Not much in the way of nightlife but quite a few bars in the village if you want a change from the hotel entertainment! We travelled with Thomas Cook and their Rep Emma is a scream. All in all a lovely chilled out holiday for us, our first holiday in 25 years without the kids!!!! Enjoy.

“Loved Croatia”

ClubHotel Riu Bonaca

Sep 6, 2008

Myself and my husband have just returned from Club Hotel Riu Bonaca. The place was amazing very quiet and relaxinxg when out and about on the island (of which is quite small). The hotel room was basic but very clean, the maid was really good and the room was cleaned by 10.00 pm each morning. The restaurant and choice of food was excellent with great choice.
The entertainment was vey bad abd was all geared up for Germans with us british not knowing what was happening. Not a place that you can take the kids as nothing at all for them to do except to play in pool, kids clubs were running but again were all of german nationality and they would not stand a chance of fittin in (our kids).
it is very beautiful with amazing views but a place to visit for relaxing only...

“loved the bonaca”

ClubHotel Riu Bonaca

Jun 7, 2008

Hotel Bonaca was excellent choice, food 1st class, accommodation 1st class. My partner and i booked this holliday not really knowing what to expect, it was our 1st time in Croatia and our ist time going all inclusive, but we were both very impressed by the choice of food at every meal. At 1st we were like fish out of water but by second day we were well into the flow of things.The hotel has a full entertainment programe, which in the evenings wasn't the best i'v ever seen but still entertaining and you had to give them 10 out of 10 for trying! Hotel its self is very well maintained and spotless, pool very clean also. Staff were very helpfull and spoke good english. I would say be prepared on your way out for a delay at split while waiting for the ferry crossing, so i advise making sure you take currency with you so you can get a drink or lunch.
I must say all in all it's best holiday i'v ever had and will be booking up again for next year and thats something i'v never said before!

“Wonderful Holiday”

ClubHotel Riu Bonaca

Jun 1, 2008

My Husband and I have just returned from the Bonaca. Although the hotel is quite basic, everything else makes up for it. The rooms are in blocks around the grounds, when we opened our front door, we had a mountain view, and our back door led on to a small balcony, which provided a distant sea view. We were surrounded by beautiful scenery. The birds were always singing in the trees/pine forests (including the dawn chorus!). It was such a relaxed atmosphere. The beds were so comfy (sprung matresses) The hotel was very clean, the food was nice, the choice was good. We have experienced better all inclusives, but there is more to a holiday than the food!! The pool area was clean and attractive, but our concern was that the different levels and steps (which didn't have handrails or markings), could be a hazard to people with sight / walking difficulties (or had too much to drink!) The entertainment team were lovely, they worked very hard all day and evening! Infact, all but a few of the staff at the hotel, were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had different Nationality guests, but it's the best one we have stayed at, where the atmosphere between eveyone was so good. It was wonderful ! Brac and the resort of Bol were beautiful, we loved the town of Bol, with it's dear harbour, shops. bars and restaurants. The architecture is historic / rustic and very Venetian. This can be reached easily, by walking along a lovely coastal promenade, this same promenade will also take you to the Golden Horn, which is beautiful. The sea is so clear with different colour blues, the beaches are pebble but lovely. Everything is so scenic (beware.....you will take hundreds of photos!) The resort can be as relaxing (wellbeing centres/spa's) or as active as you want. You can do Kayaking, Diving, Windsurfing, Tennis, Cycling, Hiking. You can even hire a boat to explore the other islands, or for the less adventurous, you can use the ferries (Croatia has at least 1,200 islands!) We would recommend a trip across to Split, for History and shopping. And we strongly recommend a day to Dubrovnik as it is so beautiful and interesting. The trip is a long one, but the scenery en route gives you a chance to see, just how lovely Croatia is! And you can't leave the Country without having seen Dubrovnik ! Overall, a truly memorable holiday. And yes, we would go back, but tend not to repeat (too much world and not enough time (or money) to explore it !!!)
