Maistra Select Koversada Naturist Apartments

“Lovely relaxed place but clothes compulsory main restaurant. Off season is mixed clientele as business needs the income”

6-7/9/20 We three middle aged guys were nearing the end of a tour of Croatia in Covid times. As I am again in Self isolation (after a week in Budapest) I am catching up. I am sure I reviewed this at the time but cannot find any record on my iPad Notes or TA itself on any of the four sites for this resort. This is a long overdue review of this lovely resort. I am the naturist in this group, being half German (waist down ;)). I 'dragged' my friends here reluctantly but the resort ultimately impressed them and they were comfortable. We had stayed three nights at a nice flat near the old town which was nice but this place was better for the beach. I wished we had got here earlier! It was just off season so relatively cheap and not busy and as a result the resort was happy to take anyone for revenue (in difficult times admittedly) and atmosphere although some people were not naturists and not adding to the spirit so dedicated naturists feel awkward. A very long walk from centre of town or even the bus station in the September heat as (car biased) entrance marked a long time before the actual maps (we were following Map dot me). Maybe we missed a shuttle bus/taxi/tricycle of peak time. Not geared to walkers or public transport users so missing a trick. When we eventually got to the Reception building there were efficient but friendly staff at reception. I asked if the restaurants were clothing optional and the receptionist had to check but yes they were. We walked a short way to a well equipped and comfortable apartment with a corner mini balcony for breakfast. We only stayed one night unfortunately but we had to fly out from Trieste in a few days after visiting a friend. Lunch buffet was at main restaurant was clothed (we did not want a pizza on the small restaurant with terrace which looked like it could have been clothing optional). We peered in from outside and everyone was clothed. As I had walked to it naked I put my shorts on just in case and entered......I was immediately told off for being topless! Oooops. I dressed 'properly' and in we went to find a table at the far end near their terrace. I cannot find a separate TA page for the restaurants but only mentions on the four pages. The self service buffet aspect was of course restricted to waiters/waitresses serving from the trays. As we are pescatarians we found a limited choice and what we did have was bland and not designed to scare off the (generally) Northern European clientele. We ate well in terms of volume as the staff were accommodating. A beer each was ordered and we left a tip despite being 'self service' as the masked staff were working hard to tidy up after diners. We swam in our 'local' bay on the very boundary of the resort and also elsewhere where nudity was 'compulsory' but some of the off season guests were clothed. I hope to return when C is well under control and in a higher season as ultimately this is a very nice resort. Looks like good feedback from management which is commendable and worth a star in itself!
