Great resort with variety of pools and seaside area. Excellent facilities for kids. The food could have been better but unlimited ice cream and drinks made up for it.
The service is excellent and all workers are friendly and helpful, looks like they doing their best. Also everything is well separated and well organized.
The resort is nice with lots of sun loungers. A few downsides though - our room had a constant smell of sewage. Also, they emptied the septic tanks next to the pool in the middle of a busy day with lots of people swimming, and the smell was horrible. I appreciate these things need to be done, but maybe not in the middle of the day while people are trying to relax in the facilities they’ve paid for.
All the staff however were lovely :)
Great location, beautiful views and mostly well looked after facilities. Gym could use a refresh in certain areas and some of the beach umbrellas were broken. Staff incredibly friendly and accommodating.
Sadly a few things let the property down, the food selection is not that of a 4* hotel, whilst the food was good the selection was very minimal and at times odd, clearly mass produced, with little to no vegetarian options.
Additionally, I was surprised to see that we had to pay €15 per beach towel, yet only allowed to change it twice per week. We also had to pay for the safe which is surprising.
It would also be nice to have a quiet or adults pool (there are three pools on site, with one clearly marked as a family pool).
Overall, I would say that this is a good 3* hotel but not 4* in the facilities and probably not worth the money we spent.
The Brac island was beautiful and the hotels location is awesome. The hotel, our room and the premises were all very nice and we enjoyed the all-inclusive nature of it but a really big trouble was with the reception staff - pretty much everyone was always on their phones and didn't even look up let alone say hello when guests came and went except if they were spoken to. They didn't offer any other information about the hotel, restaurant, bars or for example vehicle rentals, than was absolutely required them to offer. We really had to pry any infromation out of them and when we for example asked about trips to the blue cove or a car rental they didn't offer any assistance in getting what we needed but instead directed us to a nearby kiosk that wasn't even open at the time.
The food at the restaurant ranged from decent to good but almost always the typical meal times were so crowded that there was no way to have a nice peaceful meal. However the staff at the restaurant was very friendly and up to their tasks.
There were lots of rules regarding the use of pools (no jumping etc.) but no one kept any eye on how people behaved there and so they were needlesly stressfull.
But still overall our visit there still was quite pleasant but it would have been a much nicer if the reception staff was up to the standards of the rest of the place and there were somekind of management of the pool etiquette.
Reception was very helpful with all our questions throughout our stay. They all spoke English, amongst other languages, fluently. We are very satisfied with our stay at Gava.
This was a very last minute reservation and it was great! We got a vineyard cottage with a swimming pool. We were exhausted and the on sight food was really convenient. This would have also been a great family get away.
Great all-inclusive resort ، close to Milna but far away from Bol
Great place to go with family
If you are looking at staying close to Bol this is not a place for you but if you would like to spend some time with family in a very quite area with great service then this is your place to be
We loved the infinity pool and the fact there were multiple pools to go in throughout the day. Limited decent loungers. Amazing to have free ice cream throughout the day, this was one of our highlights! Beautiful sunsets/views. Friendly staff, good English. Great range of food, always hot.

It’s okay if you’re 12, but it’s a family resort so wouldn’t recommend if you don’t have kids because they are every where
If you do not have kids don’t go to this place
1000 of screening kids running around and you have no peace - if you just use the room you are fine
Food is low average
Fantastic blue sea, very welcoming stuffs, room is very clean and new.
Activities, like some night shows , archery, stretching and aerobics, those Animations workers are full of fun ! No time to get bored.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The pools were dirty, especially the indoor pool. We had to leave a day early. We alerted the staff to this when we checked in. They said it wasn't a problem and had us fill out a form. When we we checked out, they said they were going to charge us for the day we weren't staying.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The resort is beautiful but there is no lifeguard neither on the pools neither on the beach and a lot of guys (not hosts of Gava) come to the beach and play on the waterpark and takes kayaks. The food is poor and also English people had found challenging making up a complete dish, for us (Italian) is a boring buffet and poor in quality. Animation is in the average, nothing special. The room wasn’t properly cleaned, just a little of adjustment for beds and change of the towels. Indeed beach towel were on payment (15€ each). Poor connection to the city of Milnà. No staff to bring your suitcase in the room. The see is beautiful and the building is immerse into the nature. But there is a lot to improve! Management should be more professional and present.
The resort and atmosphere were fine. However the reception was very rude especially the manager.
He was discriminate us. It was me and my husband first trip to Croatia, and we had very good experiences all over Croatia except this resort. I asked several services but somehow all rejected with no proper reasons or explanations. You don't want to spend any money on this awful services even though you're paying over 100 euros.
We chose Gava Waterman in spite of the bad food reviews.
PLEASE do not make our mistake.
We had a Forrest suite, and the room was excellent. The grounds and proximity to the ocean also nice.
But that is where it stops.
When we arrived the parking lot was more than full – people parked up to 300 meters up the road from the hotel.
Nice welcoming from reception.
Then we went to have a drink on our all-inclusive bracelet. There was nothing worth drinking.
The wine was from a tap and my guess is 30-40% of it was water – same with the beer. The bar keep was not very friendly.
The coke tasted awful, and we ended up going to the store buying sodas, beer, and wine, which was not the purpose of buying all-inclusive.
Mind you they sold decent stuff at an extra rate in the all-inclusive bars ☹
Then there was the food!!!! Only good thing to say about it is that I lost a few pounds there.
It was absolutely awful, bland, overcooked and some even off!
And there was a half an hour line to get to it!
They claim to be in compliance with extra covid safety, but they still chose not to open the second buffet even though the resort was almost a max capacity. There was also only one bar open most of the time.
There was no cleaning in the restaurant between patrons and covid protocol was not enforced!
So to sum up, if you do not choose the all-inclusive and have a car to take you to surrounding cities Gava Waterman is adequate, but DO NOT come for the food and drinks.
Tres bien dans l'ensemble. Personnel tres gentil et à l'ecoute.
Seul bémol pour les français qui aiment la bonne cuisine, la cuisine proposée a été quasiment la même sur les 3 jours. Les desserts manquent de variétés : beaucoup de desserts crémeux à "l'anglo-saxone"... pas de desserts memes simples comme des tartes, des flans ou encore de la mousse au chocolat.
