Arrivng at the hotel we were shown to a tiny one-bedroom apartment for our family of four, despite having booked a two bed one. At Reception I met a lady complaining about the same thing (as the fortnight developed we learned that this seems to be standard practice!). After some debate we were given the 2 bed apartment we should have had originally, but it was still VERY GRIM - dark, poorly equipped, stained beds, broken equipment (chairs, for example). Slept there the first night thinking it would look better in the morning but it didn't! We couldn't have stayed there for 2 nights let alone 2 weeks.
Spent a morning negotiating with travel company and hotel reception trying to be moved and were eventually given two rooms in hotel on a B&B basis - and the holiday started to look a lot better! Jasmin and Cedar seem to be the best blocks to stay in. Cedar has sea views but music from beach bar carries (see later). Jasmin has small mini bar fridge. Cedar slightly bigger rooms, Jasmin slightly more modern fittings. Cedar mainly Italian (so you feel more 'on holiday' ), Jasmin mainly English families. We stayed in Cedar, the other 'moved' family in Jasmin and we were all happy.
For reference, it didn't affect us but we heard the rep tell a family not to eat at the hotel as the food was awful, but there's no need to anyway. Just take the water taxi (£3 for 2 adults, 2 children) over to Korcula Town where there are lots of restaurants - we recommend Doris (facing the taxi dock), Luna (on the harbour) and Millenium (up on the walls). The ride back is lovely past all the lit up yachts.
Back to the hotel...the pool is clean (water changed weekly), there's beach bar music until 11.00 (but it does go off then) and daily maid service in the rooms. The tiny beach is busy but it's not too tricky to find yourself a quiet spot to pitch a sunbed on one of the terraces. Milk bar by beach very cheap for lunches. Bar by Dive School very cold beer and good barbeque for lunch. Dive school well run by English people (Dupin Dive Centre - find on internet)
Incidentally, we learned from a local that troops were stationed in the apartments during the conflict. Looking at them you can believe it's true and nothing's changed since!
The last word has to go to one of the hotel managers who, whilst showing me the hotel room we were being offered said 'the apartments are shoddy and no-one cares about them'. Says it all, I think!!

4/4 found this review helpful

We stayed in the Bon Repos apartments, thinking they were actually in Korcula old town. This is not the case - they are a long hot dusty 30 minute walk around the coast. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, they resemble a concrete prison camp. We had no hot water for the entire week - nobody seemed to care! We could use the hotel facilities (sports / restaurant / bar) but these were bleak and depressing. The beach was very near - but was a very overcrowded man-made 2 foot wide stretch of sand where everbody laid side by side. If you rolled over you were on top of your neighbour. It was possible to get to Korcula by the water taxi, which was fun for the kids but increased the cost of the holiday - and Korcula old town itself was great. On the plus side there were boat trips and pedalos to hire - and the children really loved playing with the mangy stray cats that over-ran the site. If you visit Korcula my advice is to pay out for one of the hotels in the old town - avoid Bon Repos at all costs!
