    Lack of loungers in outside space. No ability to book sea view so looked out over land gym.

    Very close to beach , bars and restaurants. Clean and comfortable beds. Good facilities.

    Our 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for the three of us. Check in and check out is so easy. We had a partial sea few but the beach is only a matter of steps. The entire complex is very clean. Staff are fantastic.

    Bed was very soft and a bit "tired" of all the other guests.

    The appartment is like new, read somewhere they renovated them in 2020. They upgraded our room to a bit bigger one for free. We had our dog with us and there was not a problem about that, just payed something extra for it.

    Off season, we weren't made aware that they would be reducing facilities I.e. paddle boarding not as readily available or tours. Also for quite a busy resort, they were running down some food options in some restaurants. Would be good to be made aware of this prior to booking although I'm sure the price reflected this.

    Great location with beautiful pool and beaches. Close proximity to pula for other activities.

    - We found a scorpion in one of the clean bath towels. - The outdoor light didn’t work so it was very dark when we first arrived at night. Hard to see the room numbers and stairs.

    Clean, modern and fantastic view. The restaurant along the beach is also very nice and offers a great view of the sun setting in the sea.

    Even though there was a coffee machine in an apartment, there were just two capsules of coffee (for three adults for 6 days:(), no replenishment and even no possibility to buy more in a local supermarket. Some buildings require cosmetic renovation from the outside (look a bit dirty because of raindrops reflected from the ground)

    Perfect sea (clear, warm and calm), many beaches (including ones for kids), very green area with plenty of huge trees and warm coniferous air. Pretty good apartment, equipped with everything needed, including coffee machine.

    1. The Hawai beach near the villa was very crowded, but you can walk toward the Verudela canion on the coast sidewalk and find some quiet spots to put your towel. 2. The bed cover, under the sheet. We removed it after 2 nights.

    The villas are located in the woods. It was quiet. We had a sea view from our apartment. Nice furnitured and equipped with necessary appliances. Illy espresso machine with capsules makes a very good coffee. We found 2 capsules at our arrival and we had to buy for the rest of our stay. Close restaurants with good food. The Verudela canion is very nice and it was worth the struggle to get there. We saw a lot of colourful fish and the water wasn't cold.

    Hawai beach is beautiful but very small so it’s always very crowded so not easy to find a good spot as it is public so you have people from the hotels plus people coming from outside the hotel . Swimming pool very crowded as well but it is expected as it is high summer season so it’s normal .

    Beautiful location ! Gorgeous landscape , very clean , great nature . Excellent atmosphere. Staff very professional and super friendly. Pets welcome. Some beaches are dogs friendly so you can enjoy the sea with your dog . Appartment modern, very clean and in front of the sea . Can’t be more perfect ! All restaurants in the area are excellent. There are a lot of children activities but you have to pay extra such us kayak, aqua park, etc. Great spa ,fitness and restaurant in the Brioni Hotel just few minutes walking . You can also visit the city of Pula . I highly recommend this place for a family . We will definitely come back !

    The only negative was the bathroom, it was very very small, and the shower was half open, so you couldn't keep the water inside.

    The apartment had a fantastic location, we had a see view through a little meadow with pine trees in front of us. You can actually smell the pine trees in the whole area, it is fantastic. We had a 2 bedroom apartment, comfortable enough for 4 person. The apartment was regularly cleaned, towels replaced every day. Within walking distance we had two beaches, multiple restaurants and sport facilities.

    I think it was overpriced; didn’t feel like a good value of money; strong camping vibe; hard spring mattress

    The property overall was nice and neat; it was not that difficult to find a free place at the pool which was a big plus; gluten free breakfast options

    Lovely apartments but a crowded complex with limited comfortable, sunbathing/swimming options.

    The few public ‘beaches’ around the complex are average and sun beds very expensive. The beach cafes are bland and only take cash with the most miserable staff. All a bit of a rip off. Few restaurants outside of the hotel complex - are of variable quality Everywhere is a long walk to get around (but it kept us fit! Waiting staff in this part of Croatia are the most miserable and unhelpful we’ve ever encountered. The pool area is nice but simply not big enough for the hotel and all the apartments. Impossible to get beds between 9.30 and 3pm and since the beaches are poor and the rocky terraces have no shade … sunbathing and swimming options are limited. Having to pay for all the activities - even the water inflatables. No beach towels. Missed having some sort of lively beach/dance bar near by - a big miss!

    Lovely apartments. Clean, modern and tasteful The pool area - although crowded - is very nice. Hard to get beds in the morning though. Too small for the size of complex. Some of the rocky areas to swim off were lovely - but little shade here. Restaurant Bonacio was excellent. Overall good for a few days but lacking in many respects. Have given high rating because of the location and quality of the apartments.

    Even though the hotel price is quite high (+/-€1200 for 3 nights) they still charge you to rent a sunbed on the beach or to use the aqua park in the sea.

    The view from our apartment! How friendly and fast the staff was! The endless number of options you have for eating and activities on the resort.
