    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    With a grand opening of summer 2019, the Gava Waterman Forest Cottages steal the show with a picture-perfect pool scene and a beach on the doorstep.

    This hotel burst onto the scene in 2019, flaunting its own beach and a forest-filled backdrop. You'll find it a 10-minute drive from the village of Milna on the west coast of the island.

    The whole place has a natural vibe. The chocolate-coloured wood cottages are tucked away in the trees, but they're as modern as they get. Scandi-style furniture, flatscreen TVs and crisp bathrooms come as standard.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    Fantastic Resort
    05 Nov , 2019 Blackkrakenbar
    Excellent resort, thoroughly enjoyed a week at the beginning of August. I didn't mind the travel getting there, as it was broken into sections from the airport with a coach, catamaran, then another coach. Hotel staff on reception were very pleasant and helpful. Food was as expected from an all inclusive. The inflatable park on the sea was superb. Never had a problem getting a sun lounger. What made the holiday for me was the entertainment from Carpe Diem Animation and Jet Tour. A big thank you to those guys Milan, Ivan, Veronika, Romana, Ana, Clem, Gigi, Sulen, and Farrah. They were fantastic at providing plenty of activities and competitions during the day, and entertainment in the evening. They were all very approachable and never pushy or in your face. Gi
    OUTSTANDING HOLIDAY RESORT

    First impressions were impressive. We were met at reception by Vladimir the manager who checked us in and directed us to our apartment in the main building. As we arrived late into the evening there was a meal waiting for us in our apartment. Next morning we got tokens for towels which you could change when needed. The food in the restaurant was of a high standard for all inclusive guests. Diana the restaurant manager was always on hand making sure everyone was being looked after. The staff were hardworking,friendly and always smiling. The ice cream was delicious. The bar drinks were local and very good. If you wanted a special brand it was extra to the all inclusive. The housekeeping in our apartment was exceptional. Clean towels every day. Very comfortable beds. This resort is very well looked after. The Animation Team we’re friendly and happy at their job. Always making you feel relaxed. The waterfront is rocky so water shoes is a must. Two main outside pools plus kids pool all with plenty of sun loungers. There Is also sea kayaks and water boards free to use. Also a mini sea inflatable water park. Inside heated pool with sauna and steam room also gym and spa. I would have liked a jacuzzi to have been added to this as well. The small port of Milna was a pleasant 25 minute stroll away. There was a shuttle bus from the hotel to the port but we enjoyed the walk. Lovely small friendly waterfront restaurants,cafes and bars. Our Jet 2 rep Paul was very friendly and gave us lots of useful information about the island and helped us decide what trips were best for us. We would recommend the Barac island trip to see the island. Beautiful scenery in a quiet area very relaxing just what we needed to chill out.
    Upmarket holiday village
    13 Oct , 2019 italianfavourites, 186338
    Lovely quiet area, super clean and well kept BUT not a hotel, a village of holiday chalets - not at all what we expected. Went all inclusive believing this to be the better option. Food decent and plentiful but very difficult to find seating at mealtimes..early and it was like Piccadilly Circus...later and plates and cutlery were hard to find. Certainly not a pleasurable dining experience. Drinks....very limited ( unless you were willing to pay well over the odds). Disappointing holiday
    Lovely Resort
    12 Oct , 2019 JanFeb
    We arrived 29th September to find that our week was the last week the resort was open. The staff were mostly lovely- one or two seemed not to know how to smile ...and one otherwise cheerful waiter couldn't stop telling us how happy he was that rain was forecast- and after a torrential storm with spectacular lightening and thunder one night and rain the following day - how happy he was that it was raining....really not what holiday makers going for sun want to hear. Apart from that...the resort is lovely with spectacular scenery. The food was great and plenty of it and plenty of choice. The wine is awful and cocktails served in a plastic glass is just not what you want.There is no beach- yes it is probably 250 metres from the sea - downhill to big rocks on the shoreline. It is the only holiday I can remember where we went back to our room about 9.30 as it wasn't warm enough to sit outside and there was nowhere inside- a bit of flexibilty in allowing the upstairs restaurant to be a bar during the evenings would have been nice. The resort is very isolated in a forest. Yes Gava Waterman is lovely but for us it is too isolated ...and I would never go somewhere right at the last week again as for the last couple of days there were so few people and for the last day perhaps max 30 people in a resort that must cater for around 500 it was just too eirie for me.

    We came here on a wet night from our boat anchored in the bay. Great buffet meal and unlimited drinks made a great evening. The restaurant is a bit bland as is the lounge upstairs but just what we needed to refuel.
