Supetar fully opens at the end of May and early June, so many restaurants and shops are closed until then. You are left with eating at the resort restaurant which has a large variety but can be expensive for dinner. The breakfast buffet was amazing and covered many tastes. Room was beautiful, clean, and large. Service was excellent and helpful. The spa downstairs offers many services though getting a traditional basic Swedish massage proved difficult because the masseuse only wanted to do Thai massage. Great location by the water.

“Perfect in every way”

We had a perfect stay. The hotel , location and beaches were beautiful. The staff helpful and Friendly. The only thing I would recommend would be to serve dinner till 10pm rather than 9pm. Also the buffet could have had a wider variety of fresh fruit otherwise there was a great selection of food ... more

Also the buffet could have had a wider variety of fresh fruit otherwise there was a great selection of food for all. This is only a recommendation not a complaint. Otherwise I would rate the hotel 10/10.

Booked a 7-day break for my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. Secret Escapes, which is a good company, so booked through them with flights and hotel recommendations. We took the Stanstead Express to the airport, and the flight to Split Croatia was no problem. Transfer to the hotel was chaotic with a shared transport to the ferry terminal with fellow travellers, none of which spoke our language and were probably locals returning home or going on holiday themselves. On arrival at the ferry terminal and overcoming the language difficulties, the rep suddenly realised we were on his list to get on the ferry, which was leaving in two or 3 minutes. My wife and I, in our mid-70s, had to negotiate the carrying of our cases and hand luggage onto the ferry with minutes to spare. Lovely crossing, which took about 55 minutes. Arrived at Brac Island, where we were ushered onto a huge coach with about 50 other travelers and eventually arrived at the Labranda HOTEL and Resorts. Had to drag our cases about 100 meters and then up a flight of stairs to reception. We were then told there was no porterage. Once booked in, we then had to drag our cases a further 200 mtrs after negotiating the flight of stairs down to our apartment, which we upgraded to one with a balcony. The staff at the hotel are excellent and friendly. The hotel is situated about a twenty-minute walk away by road or a 50-minute walk along the coastal path and 5 min to the beach. We preferred to eat our main meal out in the variety of restaurants in town and then have a slight snack at the hotel in the evening as we were on a half-board stay. There is more to tell but will end here. Hopefully, the trip back home is as eventful. as our stay on Brac Island.
