Bluesun Hotel Alga

Very Good Family Friendly Hotel Indoor and outdoor pool and next to the beach Lots of facilities: tennis close by and others. Good food: salads fruit meat fish pizza Quiet location at edge of small town, to avoid pool noise ask for a room away from the pools. Lovely views over sea to islands Helpful staff Very clean comfortable rooms Walks by the sea and inland in the hills.

It was our first visit to Croatia and picked Bluesun Alga as it had favourable reviews. I am not a fan of large hotels but as a first timer to the country it ticked all the facilities for us as a family. First thing I noticed was that it was very clean and well staffed. Reception bar area was spotless and pool area was very welcoming. There was always someone on duty and would soon come over to see if you would like a drink. The room was minimal but comfortable with a balcony with a pretty good view. Staff came in every day and made beds and changed towels. Slept well and was surprisingly quiet. There was a fridge in the room useful for keeping bottled drinks etc cold. The only thing we would have liked in the rooms was a kettle and drink making stuff rather then buying drinks downstairs. We did half board so had buffet breakfast and buffet evening meal in the gigantic dining area. Plenty of choices and the evening menu changed most days with different dishes aswell as the staple salads and breads. Breakfast was the same every day but still plenty of choice. We got free drinks at breakfast but unless you pay full board you don't get drinks in the evening not even water. Considering the drinks facilities from breakfast were there but covered up, it would have been nice to have had free water and coffee/tea. The staff were very efficient at keeping things topped up and cleaning as they went. Very impressed. Facilities were good. Outdoor pools and indoor pool. Our only gripe which prevented us using outdoor pool was that they were just too cold. At least one heated one would have been nice. Weather was about 23 or 24 each day but not enough to heat the water. The best part of the hotel was the location. Right on the beach front it was great and about a 10 min walk you were at some shops and cafes. Also not far from buses which was useful a couple of times. We did a trip up to biokovo skywalk which you could see from the hotel. This was organised by a lady in reception who you could book activities with. Definitely recommend that one. A tuk tuk arrived at the hotel to take us up the mountain. All in all a good first impression and had everything we needed to enjoy the week

We were part of a Titan tour group and arrived shortly after 10pm on 3rd June. A few staff members were on hand to ensure we were well looked after. The hotel was busy but the staff ensured we were well looked after. The food (self service) was fresh and prepared well. They catered for every need. The rooms (we were in 516 top floor sea view) were OK. Clean but dated. The staff again did a great job, kept everything perfect. The reception staff were fantastic. We had issues with our door electrics which after 3 attempts sorted, apologised for the inconvenience. The location is absolutely perfect for evening walk along the seafront. We also took a cliff side walk from Tucepi to Makarska which I would highly recommend. Beautiful stunning scenery! If you are fortunate enough to stay at this hotel, you will love it. Great location, lovely food and fantastic staff. Thank you all at the Bluesun Alga.

Hotel Alga is 1.2hours from Split airport, and about 1 hour from Split centre. Dubrovnik is over 2 hours away. There isn't a huge amount to do around Tucepi, but for a relaxing holiday around the pool and beautiful beach right outside the hotel, its a great spot. You should visit Makarska, its a pretty harbour town. Hotel is very clean, you don't seem to get any bugs or bites in Croatia. We had 3 bites in total between 5 people staying for a week. Gym is acceptable as is the indoor pool, but who goes on holiday for that? :) Hotel lifts were fine, I cannot understand the bad reviews on them? Wifi is sometimes patchy at peak times, but generally acceptable in the two rooms we had (4G worked perfectly where wifi didn't reach). Outdoor pools were great, having a verity of size pools helps with children. We never had a problem getting sun loungers. Staff were fine, just takes a little getting used to the Croatian way. Its not all smiles and giggles like in the UK, but professional enough. We had bed and breakfast, which I found to be great. Considering they're catering for many cultures, they do ok. Most days I ate bread or toast, hash browns, bacon, omelette or fried egg, or cereal. The baked beans were about 70% like UK beans, so were fine. You can choose fruit. cheeses, sausages, cake? Loads of choice. Coffee needs improvement in Tucepi though! Its weak for my liking. Best coffee I found was the first restaurant on the left outside the hotel. They do great icecream and coffee. The filter coffee and nescafe at the hotel though was good though, I just prefer espresso myself. For dinner, we ate out at restaurants (not at the hotel). If you like seafood, pizza, fries and bolognaise, you're good. Otherwise, the menus could do with expanding throughout Tucepi. We had no need for a safe, but one was provided in the room. Assume you have to pay for use. The mini fridge works just about, but enough to cool water. Tap water is fine to drink by the way, we're all still alive. Aircon is below par, but included in the room we had (deluxe superior), maybe not good enough when its over 30 oC outside though? Overall, very clean and tidy. Enjoyable stay. Very comfortable beds, which is rare! Shower and toilet were presentable and working great. Wifi good enough. TV had BBC NEWS in the room. All happy and would return to the hotel, but perhaps not to Croatia, I don't think the locals like tourists!
