Bretanide Sport & Wellness Resort in Bol

We booked the hotel based on its positive reviews, especially because of the highly praised sports program. Unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing. The average age of the guests was over 60, and it was clear that most were not there for an active holiday. The sports offerings were extremely limited, and many of the scheduled activities didn’t take place at all (for example, beach volleyball). No real fitness activities. Bike tours and hikes were almost exclusively subject to additional charges and seemed more like trips for seniors.

The wellness area did exist, but none of its services were included in the all-inclusive package. The animation team was barely present and appeared to have given up on organizing any active events with the guests – which was very disappointing.

On the positive side, both the hotel grounds and the rooms were well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, during the cleaning of our room, the floor wasn’t even swept.

The beach is separated from the hotel by a public promenade, but still very close. During peak season, it might be difficult to find a spot, but at the end of September it was still manageable.

The food was very good and diverse. I especially want to highlight that the kitchen really made an effort to offer plenty of delicious vegetarian dishes. Thanks for that!

Overall, the hotel is fine, but its name promises more than it actually delivers. This led to false expectations and ultimately disappointment. In our opinion, the hotel should position itself as a quiet relaxation resort for an older audience and update the information on its website accordingly.

We spent a family holiday in this hotel for the second time. Despite a little bit small rooms everything was acceptable except one thing. Ignorant guests (not every guest of course). The worst thing which is hotel management responsible is that every public rest spot in the hotel is a smoking area with ashtrays everywhere. Guests are smoking even during moderated mini disco for kids - this is unacceptable! You cannot escape it, kids swimming pool, pool bar, other bar, sunbeds, outdoor dinner tables. Another habit of the guests is to occupy all sunbeds early in the morning with towels. I was told there is a guy responsible for collecting towels from unused sunbeds but we never saw him doing that. Both problems should be addressed by proper management - or state that this is a smoking friendly hotel and you need to fight for the sunbeds.
