We chose Park Plaza Verudela for our honeymoon destination. This hotel is extremely nice with welcoming staff and a pleasant atmosphere. We stayed in the self catering apartments which were clean and cosy. You will find a small but functional kitchen with all the basic cutlery, crockery, utensils and pans you will need. Plus a few extras. The bathroom was very nice and the shower was brilliant, but unfortunately we found our body wash and shampoo to be empty (this was corrected immediately by reception when informed).

The apartment had a large double bed, which was actually a proper double and not two singles pushed together which was really nice to see. The bed was also incredibly comfortable and we slept soundly each night.

During our stay we explored the grounds of the resort and the sister hotel Hysteria which is also on the resort. The resort is beautiful, clean and has stunning views. We only tried 2 of the on site restaurants during our stay, but in both the food was very good and the staff were very helpful and genuinely nice to have a conversation with. The food itself was very nice and we had no complaints at all.

During our stay we also used the spa facility and had a couples massage. This was a first for us and we an extremely relaxing experience. The massage lasted around 50 minutes and cost €110 which was a bit extravagant for us, but because it was our honeymoon we decided to go ahead with it and my god am I glad that we did. The staff in the spa were very professional and explained the different packages before we chose.

The only negative I have with the resort and I'm aware that it is out of their control is that most of the advertised shops were closed for the entirety of our stay and had no date for opening. We were informed by the reception staff that this is because the shops are all privately owned and they could not control when the owners decided to open for the season. They informed us that this is normally in June. There is an onsite supermarket which is open from 08:00 - 14:00 that has everything for your basic needs. Be weary though because the shops on site are far more expensive than the same shops in Pula city centre, so I would advise getting on the bus which the bus station is located just off the resort and only costs €2 per person each way. This is much cheaper than getting the taxis and there is roughly 3 busses an hour.

Of an evening we spent a couple of our nights in the Hysteria bar and lounge which is very nice and has a wide selection of drinks available. It is very relaxed in there also and we got to speak to a lovely couple there.

In summary, Park Plaza Verudela is a very nice resort with many facilities (as long as they're open). The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is very clean and has beautiful views. If you get the chance to come here and can get a good deal, I would highly recommend staying here.

My husband and I had a studio apartment for a week in mid August. It was super clean, very well laid out and well equipped. The shower is fantastic, as is the air con. The hot water is very hot, so watch out if you have littlies. The pool area is immaculately clean and very well maintained. The attendent opens the gates at 9am and takes room numbers and asks how many sunbeds are required - but there is no cheeky sunbed bagging here, no putting your towels down and flying off on a half day excursion and expecting 'your' sunbed to be waiting for you. The lovely attendent (who is very friendly and helpful) will come around at points during the day and carefully remove towels on beds to free them up for people who are wanting to make use of them. This leads to there being an opportunity to come to the pool at anytime duting the day and catch some rays - perfect. We got the 4€ bus to Pula 5 of the 7 nights. Lovely old town, very buzzy, quite compact with lots of lovely restaurants, shops, bars, ice cream parlours. Overall, I was really impressed with Park Plaza and would definitely recommend it and visit again.

We are currently here and loving it. The complex is so clean and staff are extremely friendly - apart from one guys on reception who clearly hates people 😂 other guests are a real mixture of Italians, Germans, Spanish, and previous eastern bloc countries. A nice balance and everyone so civilised and courteous. We have a studio apartment which although a bit dated is perfectly equipped and well located to pools and shops. Olivia restaurant on site is wonderful - check out the scampi pasta! It’s like a little village here and if you want a change of scenery and Uber to pula is around £7. With 4 of us cheaper than bus The misery at reception will tell you that Uber isn’t popular here - it is!
Will definitely come back here

2 years ago we came here and had a fantastic room with good and friendly housekeeping. In fact, it was so good we decided to return. However this time the room was a nightmare! We were located behind the restaurant in the main street, room C014. At the checkin they already advised us that they were fully booked so no possibility to change. The room was not properly cleaned by arrival and pools of mud of the irrigation system were in front of the apartment (see included pictures). For our 17 year old dog we paid 12€/day extra. Housekeeping didn't want to enter because of the dog so we had to call reception or wait in the apartment until they showed up. (2 years ago this was not a problem and it was also not mentioned at the check-in) 1 time we called for housekeeping and they told us to wait 30min because they were having a break. 1,5 hour past and we had to go back to the reception because they failed to show up. Meanwhile we were stuck in our room. The last 5 days they didn't even use cleaning products and our dirty towels of the shower they used as wipes for the floor. Unbelievable! They actually wash them and give them back to the guests?? Tables and other furniture were never cleaned. Fresh bed linen in a bag in front of the gate while it was raining. And when I took it inside, housekeeping was even upset because I am not allowed to touch this. Matras was not completely covered with a sheet. What about hygiene?? Terrace full of weed, a gate that didn't close properly, a firedetector that went off when we used the stove, 2x phone broken (must say that technician was fast and friendly), gardeners that are cutting the grass at 8.30, the fan in the bathroom that doesn't work properly, etc
Tobacco shop charges 0,70€/pack more than in the city centre.
In the supermarket they double or sometimes triple the price.
If you want a sunbed, you need to go at 8.00 (opening at 9.00). Simply not enough beds for the amount of guests
Restaurants are too expensive for what you get. Take a bus to the centre where you can eat very well. Or walk 15 min and you find the restaurant Ribarska koliba, (mentioned in the Michelin guide). Excellent service and food and you pay less than in Bonaca or the yacht club.
We mentioned all this at the reception but all we got was a very cold and short apology just to get rid of us.
For me it seems that service is no longer a priority, instead robbing guests and charging money is. This is not what you expect from a 4* resort

We spent a week or so here and had a really nice stay. We booked a premium two-room apartment completely without meals and stated as wish that we would please be accommodated on the ground floor because of our SUP. This wish was also fulfilled. We were pleasantly surprised when we realized that we have two bathrooms. Also our two terraces/balconies were really great and nice and big. Since these were still in the shade in the morning, we could have breakfast outside in peace after a short walk to the Resort's own supermarket.
The kitchenette was equipped accordingly, so we could always cook ourselves a little something at lunchtime. In the evenings we always ate out.
Our room was superbly located so we really only had a few steps to the pool (we hardly used) and also to the sea.
We would love to come back, but I still have some suggestions for improvement:
- by the sea we would like to get into the water with a handrail and not for it to end shortly before, because then nothing is possible.
- in the cleanliness is still clearly air upwards. At first glance, cleaning is done daily, but not really thoroughly. There is a very generous arch at all corners. I would have found a short greeting from the cleaners nice, but they didn't escape a word or even smile

The apartment room given was disappointing and not what was displayed , it was too hot even with the AC on , the bathroom too small and the fan in there was bad .

We had housekeeping making noise from 7:30am everyday we spoke with the staff about this and it got louder in the morning , we believe they started to make more noise in regards to us saying something . The lights in our room went out twice on two different occasions and when we called for help they didn’t answer , had to leave the room at 10pm for help with this and the man blamed us and said it was due to a kettle we did not use .We also had an issue with the men at the hotel who made noise up until 2am , when speaking to staff they said they would ask for them to stop but this took them over an 1hour .

The food and restaurants are bad , the market is overpriced.

Overall it was not a great experience for us personally and i would not recommend especially for the price we paid.

The apartment provided no amenities but the pool as everything was closed , just very underwhelming and felt falsely advertised.

The view when going to the beach and swimming area was nice and that’s the only good thing i can say.

The facility is manageable and beautifully made.
Restaurants, souvenir shops and grocery shops are available. However, you pay a few euros more everywhere. In the grocery as in the other shops!
The ice cream parlor had very little choice of ice cream flavors on several days. Which I found staff very unfortunate.
We had a two bedroom apartment. Which was enough for us as a family of 4, as we were out most of the time. The kids enjoyed their own shower / WC of which it also had two😀
The kitchen is equipped with the minimum. Plus, it had a starter set with washing up liquid, sponge and rag. Budget paper was also available.

The cleanliness, could definitely be more thorough!
The daily surface work and the beds were ok! If you look closer you can see that the chairs are still wading dirty. There was just a wipe on the seat. The backrests were still sticky from the predecessors!!
Also in the bathrooms it would be desirable if you clean/wipe the joints again would probably already suffice! .

The pool complex definitely has too few loungers before act. Even on the beach below there is not much for this large facility.

Man came to spend a good week here without further use the car.
On foot everything good and time reachable.
If you want to go out, Pula is just a 10-minute drive away. But what you should take into account is the parking lot search. Directly at the port below it has a great parking price performance ok. Pula offer one or the other nice and delicious restaurant. I recommend looking in advance at where you want to eat and then reserve the restaurant one or two days in advance.

What intended to be a 9 day relaxing stay with my children was cut short by the lack of cleanliness and overall lack of enthusiasm/ service from the restaurant staff. Considering it is high season and the resort is fully booked, there is no reason for lack of cleanliness nor mediocre service. After 5 days of being in the apartment, the floor was only mopped and cleaned after a complaint to the front office staff. The shower / toilet looked as if it wasn’t scrubbed clean from the previous guest(s) either.

The worst part is having to pay for a water slide that is part of a resort’s services. Supposedly it was meant to keep it ‘equal’ for the public and the hotel guests. Not really acceptable considering the room rates are over 350€ a night and including the water slide usage for guests / kids should be a given. If the public want to use it, it should be charged as they’re not hotel guests.

There is also no beach/pool towel service at the resort and this is easily solved by implementing a card system like other resorts but even this couldn’t have been an additional service.

We ordered a pineapple lemonade by the Olivia pool restaurant and requested for a sparkling lemonade instead of ‘chilled water’ and was charged for the sparkling water.

It’s just been a cumulative of disappointing experiences that leaves a bad feeling (especially while on vacation).

The one positive aspect was the spa services at the Park Plaza Histeria where the team was professional & friendly and the sports massage was one of the best I ever had. The front desk team and buggy drivers are very professional and friendly and this was much appreciated.

The tennis pros Steffan and Robert were excellent and we looked forward to our morning round of tennis on the courts. Unfortunately due to the lack of rain, the city is on a water restriction which limits the usage of water on the courts.

Overall, there were just more cons than pros, and this is unfortunate as we thought to give Park Plaza another go but the other 4-5* all inclusive hotels in Rabac / Porec / Rab are more worth the experience and checking out.

Unfortunately for us this was a disappointing stay but hoping for better few days ahead until we leave for another resort.

It’s a lovely resort set in a beautiful location with lots of accommodation types to suit your needs (1 bed, 2 beds, 2 bedroom apartments etc.)

Staff were welcoming and responsive as when we reported issues (like the TV not working) it was promptly attended to and resolved.

There two generously sized salt/ sea water swimming pools (very cold but refreshing on a hot day) and lots of sea access points along the coast surrounding the resort.

Lots of car parking which was free but if you can’t or don’t want to get out and about there is an onsite shopping mart and some on site restaurants. The pool side restaurant Olivia is highly recommended.

If you are not a Radisan Rewards member I recommend you join as you get 10% off at the bar and restaurant.

Overall, this hotel is simply not 4* (although we paid over £200 per night for the room only, not including breakfast etc.). The main issue is the pool - every morning, a large queue forms for the pool opening at 9am. If you aren’t in the queue you won’t get a bed. We complained on the first day as at 10:30am about 50% of the beds were ‘reserved’, the culprits presumably off to breakfast or back to bed. The staff refused to implement their own rules/ the sign at the side of the pool saying no beds reserved and while acknowledging it was not normal behaviour they said there was nothing they could do and it wouldn’t make a difference because there simply aren’t enough beds. The pool with lovely outlook was main reason we booked this hotel and the hotel should really forewarn people of this situation. We paid to use the beds at the beach which also had great outlook, for 150 kuna per day. The room itself was extremely basic and the cleaning service was poor - we simply had towels replaced each day, no toiletries replenished and no general tidy (e.g. no cleaning glasses or changing of sheets in one week we stayed). They half attempted making up bed each day but it wasn’t hotel standard and not what you expect from 4*. Basically the whole experience was a bit stressful and made us try and avoid spending any time near the pool/ in the room. The location is good as the outlook and rocky beach great for swimming, but we would strongly recommend that you do not stay at this hotel unless you have young kids, get it on a very cheap deal and/or can cope with the thought of queuing for a lounger everyday of your holiday.
