Park Plaza Verudela

Pool area with sea view is beautiful. Breakfast was nice :) The room was very basic and felt a bit like a Butlins style chalet/room - not a hotel more like separate appts and dark corridors. The location of the resort meant we needed to travel by bus every evening for food and later drinks in Pula as resort had limited bars and no food except burger & chips (lovely burgers though!) or expensive food in one other restaurant! Pool bar closed at 7pm and no entertainment at resort. Sister hotel on site has a nice bar and is more like a 4 star :) Croatia itself was beautiful and recommend Pula and Rovinj - buses regular from near resort and cheap. Think hotel is more a 3 star based on very basic rooms and not much choice of bars/restaurants - supermarket on site very expensive - early transfer so couldn’t have breakfast on last day so would have been nice if something could be arranged for breakfast for early transfers - check in isn’t until 4pm which is late but they did phone us about 2pm and allowed us to check in early as room was ready :) Cleanliness mostly good :)

The location is beautiful and the resort on the whole lovely. But ... be careful that you actually get what you booked. This holiday was supposed to be a special treat for my goddaughter after a rough time But ... we booked a four star twin room and we got a at best three star double and after asking git a rickety z-bed. Also there were screaming kids around which we didn't expect. Despite the weather being great, the swimming beach being good fun (well except €25 a day for 2 sunbeds and umbrella ) the food was delicious and the people very friendly and hospital. Shame the room spoiled things some

Great place! The small studio is perfect for two. Good air conditioning, clean, nice bed and bathroom. And lots of storage space for clothes and toiletries. The salt water pool is big and deep with a fantastic view. Large pool and a slide for the little ones. The whole Verudela island is breathtaking, with beaches and swimming spots all over. A couple of ok restaurants, an ice cream bar and a Konsum store. There are trees everywhere, so no problem finding shade or a quiet place away from the crowds. There are nice walking paths all around the coast. Fantastic clear water. I cannot find anything to complain about. Prepare to get up early to get a sunbed by the pool. If they are taken, you can find a spot under a tree somewhere or rent a sunbed on the beach. This is a typical tourist resort, so if you want to get out of the "bubble", just walk for maybe 10 minutes to jump on the bus to Pula. Or take a walk or boat ride out to the nearby neighbourhoods or islands

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful stay — exceeded our expectations! We had a fantastic stay and really enjoyed our holiday from start to finish. The location is excellent — very convenient, with the sea, swimming pools and everything you need close by. Our flight and transfer were great, and although check-in was later than expected, we were able to get into our room shortly after 2 pm. The staff at reception were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Everyone was welcoming and always ready to help with any questions. Our room exceeded all our expectations. We had a beautiful, very clean and well-kept room with a side sea view. The housekeeping was excellent — the room was cleaned very thoroughly and towels were changed every day. We stayed for a week and our bed linen was also changed during our stay. Everything was spotless. And the sea is absolutely amazing — crystal clear! 🐠 If you stay here, definitely bring water shoes and a snorkelling mask. We saw so many fish and had an incredible time swimming and snorkelling. We also had some wonderful experiences during our stay. We went kayaking and watched the sunset with a fantastic guide. It was such a memorable experience, and we received the beautiful photos from the tour literally the next day. There are also some lovely restaurants and bars nearby. We particularly enjoyed the pizzeria, the pool bar and the restaurant at the resort. But our favourite was the little restaurant by the yacht club, right on the pier. Beautiful location, delicious food and a really special atmosphere. We also rented bicycles, which was a great idea. We explored the whole Verudela peninsula and cycled into Pula, which was beautiful and full of character. Getting around was very easy too — buses and taxis were reasonably priced, quick and convenient. We did notice that some guests were queuing early in the morning to reserve pool loungers. However, we also noticed that even around 10–11 am there were still free loungers, so there was no real problem if you came later. We personally only used the pool once or twice because the sea was simply too beautiful to resist! There is also another lovely beach nearby — Ambrela Beach — where we enjoyed a spectacular sunset. The water was crystal clear and the entrance into the sea was very nice. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and would absolutely recommend this hotel. Everything was comfortable, clean and convenient, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. A huge thank you to the entire hotel team and staff for making our stay so enjoyable. Everything was truly excellent. And a special thank you to TUI as well — the package was very well organised and the price was excellent for the quality of the holiday. We would definitely come back! ❤️

Lovely place! We really enjoyed our week here as a family of four. It's in a brilliant location with a choice of stunning beaches within walking g distance, great food, well-equipped apartments, reliable bus service, friendly & professional staff (especially the lovely waiter with white hair), lots of greenery and spotlessly clean. Oh and a fabulous gelato place on site that stays open late. A visit to the aquarium is a must, especially as it is so cool on a very hot day! We would definitely return.
