Chilled out or what!
Review Submitted: February 3, 2009

Nigel, in his review of the lower apartment has already described the quickest way to get to Solta, by speed boat, and as he says - it is good to arrive in style - and in enough time to catch some rays!
I was joining friends already in the upper apartment and since they had a car I didnt have to worry about getting my bags up the steep hill or going to the supermarket or to the lovely restaurants some of which are a drive away - so thinking about it, if i had been alone i might have hired a car at the airport and brought it to Solta for convenience. However if you're an avid walker - no problem!
Solta is the ultimate chill out destination, i defy anyone to leave there stressed out - but dont go if you want theme parks and McDonalds or your children need 21st century stimuli! Beautiful views, simple food, sunshine, peace and quiet, friendly people - that's what Solta offers.
You can of course always jump on the ferry and go to Split - which i was blown away by - fabulous Roman architecture, designer shops, great eateries, interesting walks. Of course its touristy but you can escape that if you want, try walking up the hill out of town.
Back on Solta, the apartment has a super south facing balcony, ideal for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even yoga practice - one pretty much lives outside, weather permitting. The apartment has two bedrooms, one double and one twin, one bathroom, a lounge diner and kitchen with all the facilities you need - oh and an outside bbq for cooking your fish on - i didnt go fishing but i bet you'd catch, even off the rocks and you can buy fish at the local market.
In summary, go if you want to read more than you have in a decade, sleep better than you have this millenium and relax............
Owner's Response: I wish we'd got this guest to write our original description!
She really sums up well what Solta has to offer, except that the balcony faces east not south, just so we don't mislead anyone!
Relax, relax, relax!!
