Park Plaza Verudela Pula

The location of Park Plaza Verudela was good and public transport was good for access to Pula town centre. The resort buildings were clean and tidy.

The real disappointing aspect of our holiday, going for a week from 25/09/19 and in a self-catering apartment, was that the resort being somewhat isolated on the end of a peninsula, meant that aside from the small supermarket on-site, there was no other nearby shopping. The onsite supermarket had already started reducing both levels of stock and product lines to the extent that there was hardly any bread products available and the fresh meat chilled cabinet was empty and sealed off for the whole of our stay ...... making self catering as good as impossible. Fresh vegetables and fruit were also running low. We had to eat in the resorts restaurants or their buffet restaurant every night of our stay. Park Plaza Verudela or the hotel Park Plaza Histria are fine from Mid-September onwards if you are NOT booking a self-catering holiday. Fine for half-board but with little stock in the supermarket I cannot recommend a self-catering holiday at anytime out of peak summer season.

The salt water swimming pool is amazing it was the highlight for me, there are good walks around the resort and the lounge bar is a great place to sit and enjoy your evening, we also paid to have breakfast for a few days and this is worth the money. There is a bus stop just outside the hotel gate that takes you to pula town that's worth seeing, and plenty of activities on the resort if your an active holiday goer rather than a lazy pool lounger like myself.

You can bring pets to the hotel but to be honest I found it annoying as I was away to try and relax and having barking dogs outside my window was very frustrating. I feel the hotel staff or restaurant owners could have politely asked the dog owner to attend to the dog. The only other frustration is you can hear people in the rooms above constantly walking around, so it's a constant stomp stomp stomp again making you have to get out of bed much earlier than you would expect while your on your holidays. Restaurants closes way to early
