The resort is a beautiful place with tons of amenities, but be ready to spend extra on just about everything. We enjoyed the stunning scenery and the friendly service. Our accommodation was adequate, but had some issues with outdated features. Overall, there is a lot to explore and the proximity to Pula is a major plus.

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 While the rooms were a bit outdated, they were clean and met my needs quite well.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. The dining options were good, but there was room for improvement. Access to the beach and various activities made my stay even more enjoyable, despite some minor inconveniences.

The buffet dining experience was generally good, but some food options could have been better prepared. However, the variety offered at the Mediterranean restaurant was a nice touch.

The resort had many facilities, including a lovely pool area and activities like kayaking and snorkeling right by the beach. However, it would be nice if there were more shaded areas.

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.

Rooms

The apartment was smaller than expected and a bit shabby, but the view was fantastic and there was plenty of cooking equipment.

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.

Rooms

6.0

The villas were a bit tired and had some mold issues, but they were clean on arrival. Staying in a villa works well for larger groups, but it felt a bit cramped for our needs.

The location is excellent, with a short taxi ride to Pula town and the beach nearby, although it was a 10-minute walk to the main amenities.

Breakfast was delicious with lots of options, but dinners were mixed in quality, and we often found them not up to our expectations plus dining options felt far from our accommodation.
