We had a lovely time at the resort, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and clean facilities. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help. While the beach was charming, it was rocky, which may be a consideration for some. The dining options were decent, though not particularly memorable, and the additional charges for air conditioning seemed a little surprising at first.

I just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Verudella beach resort, where I enjoyed my stay in a self-catering apartment with a stunning sea view. While the rooms were a bit outdated, they were clean and met my needs quite well. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, enhancing my overall experience.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the resort. On the one hand, the views from my apartment were truly stunning, and I appreciated the convenient access to Pula and the on-site facilities. On the other hand, the lack of housekeeping and the overpriced beach beds made the experience less enjoyable than I had hoped. Overall, it was decent but not perfect.

We enjoyed our stay at Verudela villas with a beautiful setting and friendly staff. The resort has lots of amenities and is close to the beach. However, the villas could use some maintenance and it was a bit inconvenient with a few things like charging extra for AC and limited supermarket hours. Overall, it was good value for money, especially for larger groups.
