Hello everyone! ) We just returned from a trip and are in a hurry to share our impressions and useful information. I think a lot of people will be interested
So, in order)
1) Hotel
The hotel area is large, very green and well-groomed, there is where to wander and sit. We rested in the Vlachitsa building (for some reason Vlasia is all around on the Internet), which is located 20 steps from the sea. For comparison, the Amor Velaris building partially overlooks the road and is located further from the sea than 3 * buildings. And although the Vella Luca building is on the seashore, you have to go to the beach to the right the same 20 meters.
We took a room with a sea view, and did not regret it, the rooms with French windows (which overlook the side of the park) essentially overlook the parking lot.
The rooms are quite spacious, with a rather large balcony, but a compact combined bathroom. The room has a refrigerator, hair dryer, TV, a huge closet with trempel, well, a large bed). Plumbing is old but clean and everything works flawlessly. Towels + soap + shampoos - all in the room.
Pleased with the young ladies at the reception - they communicate very well in English and always help. When we went on an excursion and did not have time for either breakfast or dinner, they prepared breakfast for us with us, and dinner was waiting for us in a restaurant near the reception.
In terms of money, kunas and euros are still circulating in Croatia, you will have to change, a good exchange rate and no commission in a split bank, not far from the center of Supetar.
2) Beach
The beach is considered municipal, that is, you can safely relax on the beaches of neighboring hotels) But Velaris has an advantage - pine trees near the water, you can always lie in the shade of trees and on pebbles at the same time. On the beach there are 2 rows of sun loungers and 3 rows left for towels / rugs. You can rent sun loungers with umbrellas or sit on your rugs, where it is convenient) There were always places in the shade and in the sun. The beach is a large pebble. But everything fades into the background when you see water - it is unrealistically transparent, you can see every pebble at any depth. And the color cannot be described, it must be seen =)
Along the beach there is a promenade through the territory of all hotels, which rests on a restaurant and if you turn right, it continues right up to the center of Supetar. You can wander in the evening, admire the most beautiful stars, which we forget about in our cities . .
I am glad that on the beach there is no smell of barbecue, loud music, sellers . . - only you and the sea)
3) Nutrition
On this point, you can write a lot, the food is simply excellent! Had breakfast + dinner. They rolled out from behind the table) They calmly did without lunch - at most they could find a place in themselves for some fruit or try puff buns from local bakeries, this was more than enough.
Breakfast - sausages, cheeses, pastries, fruits, omelettes, fried bacon and ham, cereals, homemade jams, pâ té s. .
Dinner - fish, seafood, pizza!!! , soups, lots of side dishes, meat dishes, pastries, sweets, vegetables in various forms, fruits. . They have their own bakery and the bread is very tasty. Drinks at dinner are paid (0.75 still water -20 kn)
You definitely won’t go away hungry, everything is very tasty, there is really a lot of everything and it’s cool cooked! =)
4) Impressions
We are very happy that we visited this paradise)
Be sure to buy Brač 's homemade olive oil - it's just excellent! I didn't find this in stores. And it is worth visiting the Plitvice Lakes, the impressions cannot be expressed in words! Full day tour but worth it =)
And because were on Brac, could not help but visit the Golden Horn beach. We bought tickets in Supetar in 2 directions (50 kn / person), it’s cheaper (one way - 40 kn / person), and after 50 minutes of traveling through the ancient stone towns and mountains, we ended up on the most beautiful beach in Croatia. A small pebble and the purest azure sea - an unusual combination!
And I was also impressed by the view from the tower in Diocletian's palace! ! You can see the whole Split with red roofs of houses, the sea, everything. . . =)

Agree with the previous review completely. The splash of waves and the chirping of cicadas (there are a lot of them in this bay) are amazingly relaxing, If you go with your family, this is what you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Cons of the hotel: there is no Russian channel and super savings on the illumination of the hotel area and the embankment.

Cons of the hotel: there is no Russian channel and super savings on the illumination of the hotel area and the embankment. In the evenings, the only illuminated road is to the center of Supetar, it got fed up in 2 weeks. And I wanted to wander along the embankment, or around the territory of the hotel itself : (((
Animation in the neighboring Cactus and Waterman (if anyone needs it, there is absolute silence in this hotel. The contingent is 50 to 50 - our plus Germans, Croats, Italians...Also calm. There is no kettle in the troika (Velaris), there is no hair dryer in the Vlasia building . The sea is of excellent depth (not shallow) and stunningly beautiful. If you have any questions, ask.

We stayed in this hotel in September. I really liked the hotel - a large area, a lot of greenery, lavender, cypresses. The room had a balcony (sea view). The case was apparently built a long time ago, but everything is made of natural materials, without plastic and laminate. Those who like the atmosphere in the rooms more comfortable may not have enough comfort, although a comfortable bed, armchair, wardrobe, refrigerator, table, chair and TV (not plasma, of course), plus a table and two chairs on the balcony - what else is needed for a good rest .

Those who like the atmosphere in the rooms more comfortable may not have enough comfort, although a comfortable bed, armchair, wardrobe, refrigerator, table, chair and TV (not plasma, of course), plus a table and two chairs on the balcony - what else is needed for a good rest . It is literally 50 m from the sea (you fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the surf), the beach is pebbly, it is more convenient to swim in special shoes. The hotel is very quiet, there are no different entertainments, discos, animations. Therefore, it is optimal for a relaxing family holiday. The sea is clean, the air is saturated with the smell of pine needles, lavender, in the evening you can walk either along the promenade (in September it is already quite deserted), or take a promenade to the city. The town of Supetar is a charming place - coves, a pier, a cathedral, cafes and restaurants, souvenir kiosks. The center is a pedestrian zone, in the evenings there is a busy movement of vacationers.
The ferry to Split runs clearly on schedule every 1-2 hours, there is a bus Supetar - Bol, 50 kuna round-trip ticket (one-way ticket - 40 kuna). You should definitely go to the most famous beach in Croatia, the Golden Horn (the town itself is completely ordinary, nothing interesting, but the beach is really impressive).
In September it was quite warm, the sea was 22 - 24 degrees, but it rained for a couple of days and by the end of the holiday it became windy in the evenings. We concluded for ourselves that it’s better to arrive a little early, the island is an island, and the airflow there is higher than on the mainland. But the sea....There is no comparison with the sea in Split. Tour operators offer various excursions in Croatia, but we, because. not for the first time in this country, this time we did not go. We only went on excursions to the Blue Cave (from Split on a speedboat it takes 2.5 hours to get there and the same amount back, with swimming in the lagoon, in the open sea - 90 euros per person). The Cave itself is a stunning sight. It is blue due to the sunlight that enters through the underwater grotto and, refracting, paints the water and walls of the cave in an amazing blue color. Liked.
The holiday was a success, we were very satisfied.

Spent a great week at this hotel. It consists of two 4-star villas and 3 3-star buildings, but the food is one restaurant for everyone, I was surprised by the food - they fed very well, for the whole solid four, everything is fresh, in large quantities, breakfasts are usual for European hotels, dinner - a lot of seafood, fish, meat steaks, a good selection of side dishes, fresh vegetables, for dessert - melons, watermelons, oranges, kiwi, apples, pies, ice cream.

We lived in a 3-star building, in the room - TV, air conditioning, small refrigerator, telephone, shower, toilet, washbasin, cleaned and towels changed every day, bed linen - every 3 days. Sea view rooms have a balcony with chairs and a table, park view rooms do not have balconies. I do not advise you to take it with a view of the park, since there is not a park there, but a construction site, not very attractive. The territory is clean, a lot of vegetation, the smell is beyond words, a mixture of needles, lavender and sage, however, this is not only in this hotel, but throughout Croatia. The beach is a pebble, not as large as on the coast of the mainland itself, but it's still better to buy special slippers. Umbrellas, sun loungers - for a fee (25 kunas for a deck chair and 20 kunas for an umbrella, the course of the kuna is 7.5 kunas for 1 euro). Near the hotel there is a pleasant forest with a walking path along the sea. The hotel is located away from the center of Supetar - 15 minutes walk to the center. From there, a ferry goes to Split (33 kunas one way, it is better to take it back and forth (50 kunas). There is a bus station, from which you can go to the city of Ball, to the famous beach - Golden Horn, or the village-museum of Shkrip, and a few more Supetar is a small, clean town with beautiful houses. We went on an excursion to the Plitvice Lakes (90 euros from Brac, includes the cost of the ferry and entrance tickets), it is not convenient to go on your own, the bus schedule is folded so that you have to spend the night on Plitvice, or being there for only 1.5 hours is very short. You can rent a car, it will be much cheaper, and you will see more.
There are many bike rentals in Croatia, including in Supetar, take at least half a day, you will not regret it, the island is very beautiful, green, there is something to see.
You can safely go to the hotel, the staff is trying very hard.

We chose this hotel involuntarily - since there was no choice left a week before departure: o))) And apparently there were many of us - in fact, half the plane left in Velaris !!! ! They were quite clearly aware of the level of the hotel, so they were even surprised by the pleasant staff, everyday cleaning, food - quite good.

We chose this hotel involuntarily - since there was no choice left a week before departure: o))) And apparently there were many of us - in fact, half the plane left in Velaris !!! ! They were quite clearly aware of the level of the hotel, so they were even surprised by the pleasant staff, everyday cleaning, food - quite good. A variety of fruits (even once there was a fig. But it got only to those who get up early : o))), a classic buffet, everything is quite tasty. Supplemented meals in restaurants (konobs) in the town of Supetar - grilled seafood, homemade wine, brandy...
"View of the sea" in Velaris is a very relative concept - everyone covered the fir trees. The territory resembles Crimean boarding houses - pines, bushes, paths. The only thing that shocked me was the aroma of lavender, which grew everywhere. And we went to do a photo shoot in the nearby Waterman - this is a really beautiful hotel, surrounded by a well-groomed park. The beach along the entire coast is pebbly, but this is not a problem, the water is super.
We went on an excursion to Dubrovnik, many thanks to the guide Elena from Panoramic - a wonderful storyteller, we fell in love with this country after the trip and her fascinating story. We went to Split on our own by ferry - inexpensively 33 kunas one way. We climbed the observation tower along the steep steps and in a strong wind, took a photo in the palace of Emperor Diocletian and on the stunningly beautiful embankment. We bought Brac cheese, homemade cheese, figs on the market - the prices are absolutely real! We went to Bol from Supetar on a quad bike 290 kunas plus 70 kunas gasoline, it turned out very cool - it was the best trip, we visited Vidova Gora, Zlatny Rat, walked along the Bol embankment, bought homemade wine, brandy. The only thing is that they did not immediately get used to the quadra, there were dangerous moments on the serpentine. Zlatny Rat was very disappointing at first - a pebbly cape of as much as 158 meters !! ! Even the fact that his "tail" deviated in one direction or another, depending on the wind, did not save him. Yes, they did not see our beaches on the Fedotova Spit in the Sea of Azov (12 kilometers of the purest sandy beach!!! ) But then they felt the originality of this unique place - I wish every hotel had such a golden rat!
Souvenirs: in the beginning, they honestly bought lavender, magnets, stones. Then we saw the light - Orekhovka, rakia and other national drinks are sold in supermarkets in mini containers (100 grams), and in our eyes this has become the best souvenir.
Communication - we did not have any language and cultural barriers at all (even despite the bad English).

perfect for a quiet family vacation. Housing "Vlachitsa" stands 30 meters from the sea overlooking a beautiful park. The room is modest, but everything you need is there: shower, hairdryer, TV, refrigerator. Food - much more decent than in Turkey; buffet half board. At dinner, drinks are at your own expense.

You can dine in the city center in cafes. Walk to the center about 15 minutes. No animation - silence !!! )))
