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).

Upon arrival we were given a bungalow that was totally inadequate which wasn’t a good start. However it was very quickly & happily resolved and from that moment we have had the best holiday. Our second bungalow was a brilliant location tucked away and by the beach which was perfect for our 4 & 3 year old. The pools are small but for the age of our children it was great & their confidence in the water improved greatly over the week. The sunset bar was a little disappointing especially when I was served a fake Aperol Spritz but we watched England play in the Euros here one night and we were very happy (the result probably helped too :) The location is fantastic and we loved visiting both the beach & port which are beautiful. We’ve had a very happy time here, thank you so much!
