Waterman Beach Village

Ideal to feel at home for a short stay.

This is a really nice looking place in a wonderful little resort. It was spotlessly clean and staff and guests were all really nice. We stayed in a brand new glamping pod and loved sitting on the deck and looking out to sea. The little pool that you share with 4 other huts is beautiful and we loved having that area available to us. The air con /heaters in the pods are good, as is the shower. Lidl is really conveniently situated 5 minutes away. Unfortunately, the weather (late May) was terrible. It was too cold to sunbathe 5 out of 7 days, poured with rain and the wind howled all night on several nights. We have come home exhausted because 1) The mattresses, particularly the one upstairs, are rock hard. My back was very painful by night 3. I had to cover the bed in pillows and sleep on those. 2) There is a very bright light outside the pod so there is no darkness. 3) Traffic noise starts at about 4.45am as cars and trucks use the main road (20ft away) to get to the ferry. 4) If it’s windy the noise from that also keeps you awake but we were just unlucky with this. 5) Grounds staff start watering the plants before 7am and completely forget that the accommodation is made of canvas as they talk loudly 3ft from your head. I can’t tell you how desperate we were for sleep. Supetar is a gorgeous little town and the 15 min walk in to town along the promenade is beautiful. Why have I given the 4 stars despite coming home so exhausted? I think if they change the mattresses (PLEASE DO THIS) and if you get good weather, then the only major problem is the traffic noise. They can’t do much about this and I did feel that the owners /managers have really tried to make things nice. (As we suggested on departure, the kettles need longer cords -see photo).

We arrived on 1st September, easy process at front desk, lovely staff. We were allocated B3. Exceptionally clean and tidy, spacious enough for 2 of us. Great range of Kitchen facilities inside. Beds are very comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing and very much needed. Lidel is a 5 minute walk along the main road, no pavements but we found not crossing until the Supetar was safest. There are other supermarkets further on but Lidel was perfect for us. They have everything you need including mosquito plug ins and spray. (The mosquitoes come out mid afternoon so spray is essential). The pool is great, plenty of both sun and shade, no shortage of loungers. Its a cold pool but fine when you got in. The beach is a 5 minute walk and again no shortage of loungers. Beach shoes are a must as its a pebble beach so you need them for going in and out the water. The water is stunning, crystal clear and warm. Loungers are €6 per day and the beach bar opened at 1130- 1800. We didnt eat breakfast or dinner at the restaurant on site but we heard it was lovely. We chose to walk into town along the beach walkway, its a beautiful walk and only 10 minutes. Take a torch as it isnt lit at night. Supetar is a lovely harbour town, plenty places to eat or get a drink. Great people watching aswell! We used the washing machines on site and only came home with 1 lot of washing, its a brilliant free service and clothes dry so quickly. We will definitely return, it was an amazing peaceful holiday. Absolutely loved the location, the staff and cant wait to return! Thank you.
