I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of accommodation considering a relatively moderate price. Friendly staff, large territory, big rooms (I could recommend „b“ apartments), very nice sea. We stayed in b208 apartment for max 7 ppl in three, huge terrace, 3 big rooms with everything needed for the stay (except for the kettle, which we bought in the city and left in the apt afterwards), air-conditioning. It is ideal for those who travel by car, or rented one, as you can visit the city center with its markets and nearby cities (Rovinj, Rijeka, Porec) easily. Plan to return next year! The only thing that worsened our holiday is some local guy smashing my car while parked and hurried to get lost while unseen. Special thanks to a guy from Germany who wrote down guys car number. I would recommend the hotel making access to the territory restricted to avoid such things. As far as I understand in spite of the barrier on entry, everybody could enter the territory by car. Why not leaving it closed all the time and let only the guests in? Or assign parking places to the apartments (making parking a paid service).

The apartment was nice with amazing sea view. If travelling with children please note that you can only swing from rocks and the ocean is very powerful. Also the hotel has not so helpful or service minded staff.

The location was great and the seaview was exceptional. There were good facilities at the resort, the room was spacious and there was plenty of car parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was on the 3rd floor, not first or ground as advertised. The room was not cleaned during the 4 day stay and other than the first roll, we needed to provide our own toilet paper. The kitchen was fully equipped with hardware, but no washing liquid or dishtowels. The three resturants on site were of very average quality.

Everyting was great. We were especially satisfied with the employees who were always nice and helpfull. The view from our appartment was great. In low season some services are not available or Open very late/ close very early. We can understand that the services are reduced to the lower amount of customers. However some easy think like the internet coffee should have extended opening time.

We had a great holiday and really good value for money. We spent our time between snorkelling and swimming in sea and pool and going into Pula. Was fine getting into Pula by using bus 15-min walk than bus every 20min. There were quite a lot of steps from out apartment to the sea/pool 150+ so if you do have problems with steps i would ask for a lower apartment. Well worth getting sea view great sunsets Comfy and well equipped apartments.. Only criticism would be that the air-conditioning unit was on the balcony and very noisy .

It's the best place. You have the resort wuith the supermarket, quiet, 3 restaurants, and if you get a room in the Splendid building, appartment Type d, you will have the best location in Croatia. You have the view that includes the pool, se, and coast line

Brilliant see view,specious bathroom,clean apartament.Local shops,places to eat quite handy,considering that you need to make your own food or find where to eat.Staff was helpfull,no complains.you can leave your luggage right in the reception if you arive earlier and go right to the beach or walk aroud.Free parking in all the area.You can rent a bike,scooter,even a car if you give few days notice inside the resort,so to reach distant city centre(about 4km) sholuldn't be problem. Rocky beach so you need a swiming shoes.Some "ghost,post soviet era" buildings just need urgent repair or demolition.Quite far from city centre.

As independent travellers to Pula, the Splendid was well situated with a good bus service into Pula and a small shop for basic shopping. Our appartment was clean and spacious and would recommend paying for the sea view as this was great! Swimming pool has a great setting but tended to be busy. You have to pay extra for lounger beds both by the pool and down by the sea but worth it on the odd day. The rocks have steps into the sea which is really clear with lots of fish so good for snorkelling. The restaurant by the pool did good fish, pizza and pasta as well as other snacks. The clay tennis court is a bit run down and could do with improving considering you pay to play. And charges for the lounger beds could be lower or scrapped!

I booked the apartment "Type d" with "Sea View" and it was big enough to accommodate 4 persons. The apartment was a 1 bedroom apartment with a large double bed in one room and a double sofa bed in the loung/kitchen/dining room which was very spacious. Even if we got there one day earlier we received the apartment for an extra night for the same price without any problem. You have to pay for everything! If you want ac it's 6 Euro / day, sunbed (8) + umbrella (5) another 13 Euro. The food is way overpriced, like everything else in the area but it's a resort, and it's the same all over the world. The lack of internet in the room is annoying sometimes.

Nice and quiet location, clean apartments. All kinds of dishes, bowls (and even a coffee maker) are available in the kitchen. Don't let the 2-star rating turn you off, because it definitely deserves more. Internet is avalable only at the reception and pool area.

Rooms were clean and enough large our family (2 adults and three kids). Beach and water was good and clear. If you like to spend your holidays with among other peoples this is your place. Hotel was not especially personal. There was too much customers to us.

Location is good (you will need your own car though), and panoramic views are extraordinary staff demands extra payment for everything. You pay extra for airconditioning, you pay extra por sunbeds, for your sun umbrella, you pay extra for laying down by the sea... I expected an all-in after making my reservation in the website. Some restaurants in the complex, incredibly high prices for low quality and service. No beach, you jump from the rocks into the sea. Swimming pool uses cold water pumped in from the sea. Not gold everything that shines.

Location of the hotel is right on the water. Beautiful view of the sea from the room. Restaurants and grocery stores all within walking distance. Several beaches within walking distance. Hotel room was very clean and modern, and very quiet. Hotel staff was extremely nice and helpful. Bus stop to city center nearby and made it easy to get to the city center. At checkin passports were taken by the staff as a deposit until they received payment, which was discomforting, but we paid quickly and got passports back. Beds were really hard. Very cheap rates, but that does not include air conditioning, etc, which one has to pay for extra. Within the hotel complex there were no atms. The closet atm is located about 25 mins away at hotel histria.

Great location - Verudela penninsula is close to the city but it's own place as well. The views are stunning and the rooms clean. The beaches are rocky but as lonely planet put it - only die hard sand fans won't enjoy the istrian penninsula. Went in May - the temperature was 26-29 each day (without a cloud), and the resort was almost deserted which was excellent. Would recommend travelling outside of the main june- august window There was a waiter at the pool/deckchairs area who couldn't speak english well at all, and came across as quite rude, and sleazy. However, he was replaced each afternoon by a lovely guy who made up for it. The on-site shop shuts at 2pm, which is inconvenient - and it's completely overpriced. I would strongly recommend stopping in at one of the big supermarkets on the way from the airport - cheap as chips. The local beers are good and worth trying

The D-Apt seaview, top floor was clean with a great view. Satellite tv was adequate. The kitchenette was stocked with ample utensils and dinnerware. Beds were comfortable. Parking was freely available. Pula is small enough that you can't get lost and its a great launching pad to see the rest of Croatia. Wi-Fi was free and readily available but only poolside. In the summer, it will be a must to buy the a/c card which also comes at an additional charge. I recommend this hotel but be aware of hidden charges and surrendering your passport. Let me start off by saying I hate hidden charges and that's what I was hit with - Tourist Tax - expect to pay an additional 4-7 krn per person per day. Booking.com doesn't mention this and should make it clear to customers. My 185 Euro booking cost shot up to 225 Euro for 2 people for over 4 days. It didn't break the bank but that's a surprise additional 40 Euro or $57 that was not budgeted. Families or extended stays be aware. Also, be prepared to either pay your bill upfront or surrender your passport as security. I'm very protective of who handles my passport so I paid upfront. Because the resort is on the side of a cliff, it means there's a lot of stairs from room to pools to parking. This is not a place for the elderly, the unfit or people with knee problems. It is also more like a public park than a private resort because 10-20 local pre-teens monopolized pools and seating areas instead of being for guests only.

Large apartment on the sea front, clean,quiet. I was pleasantly surprised of the quality of this accomodation, as I didn't expect much when I booked it, being so cheap and rated only 2 stars. But it's excellent value for money and I really enjoyed my stay there. Can watch the sun setting on the sea from the balcony and there is a nice smell from the pine forest. Friendly staff at reception, and they were speaking good english. Definitely recommend it.

It;s peacefullness. The swimming pool area with good wooden sunbeds and cushions.The food was excellent at the pool bar/restaurant. The well equiped large spacious rooms.(Room e with see view) Very clean and comfy beds everything looked brand new. Large balcony with good clean furniture The staff at reception where very helpful and arranged taxi's and excursions for us. The localitty to the airport was good only cost 140 kuna for taxi. Overall a perfect short break could of spent longer there. Would highly reccomend for a relaxing warm friendly stay. No toaster or kettle although good coffee machine. Needed more lighting around complex at night. Because of early season not alot going on or open
