“While this Jelsa resort benefits from a potentially beautiful location, a significant renovation is overdue; some facilities show signs of disrepair. Based on reports, guests should anticipate basic amenities, for example, the absence of air conditioning and in-room Wi-Fi. The saltwater pools may not be ideal for families.”
