When we first arrived, we had a bad impression of the hotel as it is the opposite of what we like and we expected more from a 4 star hotel. The (Blue Sun) Borak Hotel is more of a 'mass-tourism' hotel with a huge dining room with very high ceilings and old fashioned furniture...however I have to say that the... more

We stayed at the Hotel Riu Borak in June last year (I forgot to write a review at the time!) it was an amazing holiday! The hotel was fantastic, we had a great room with beautiful views over the pool and out to sea. The pool was great, could get a little crowded at times though. The staff were fantastic,... more

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Bol, staying at the Hotel Riu Borak. After reading many excellent reviews of the hotel we decided to book 7 nights here and were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel was just as good, if not even better, than the reviews had said. We arrived in Split to find that... more

I have been to Croatia twice before once to Rovinj and also Dubrovnik but Bol is really the place to go. The Hotel Borak was great. The staff were friendly and helpful and as I am a single traveller they made my stay really stress free. But what made the holiday was the beach the town of Bol and most... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel the 2nd week in may which was only the 2nd week of the season, the hotel is a 10 minute walk along the sea front promenade to Bol town , which is one of the prettiest places I hae ever visited. The hotel itself is excellent with really friendly staff and good... more

Free bycicles for hotel guests was a practical bonus. But the best thing about this hotel was food. Excellent choice and taste for (buffet) breakfast and dinner, lot of... more

Apologies in advance, about to write an essay, but I want to give you as much information as possible. I have broken it down for ease of reading. We spent a week at the Riu Borak in June 2006. Overall, it was a great holiday. Peaceful location, great people and fantastic hotel! Transfer- Unfortunately at the time of going, there... more

The reviewer who pointed out that the hotel out of season is almost entirely populated by elderly Germans is absolutely right - but in many ways you should take this to be a good sign! The food is good; plentiful choice both at breakfast and dinner. And whilst it is annoying to be told where to sit (and even at... more

We booked this hotel after reading all of the reviews on this site. They were quite right in many respects. The hotel is brilliantly situated for Zlati Rat beach, it is tranquil etc. there are a few things to bear in mind however. 1. When we were there, outside school hols, the large majority of the other guests were Germans... more
