Quality hotel in a gorgeous part of the world.
This is a nice hotel. Modern, elegant, clean - right on beach. Gym is OK - could be better - but could be A LOT worse. Spa was good - massage treatment was decent (which says a lot because it is hard to find good 'deep tissue' massage) - although I was told it was 60 min and I am sure it was more like 45 min, max of 50 min (I didn't argue about it - doing so after the treatment is futile). In general, the reception staff were very helpful and accommodating. Bravo. The breakfast is nice. You are right on the beach within walking distance of everyone one can do in this area. Overall positive experience.

Just came back from a wonderful stay at Berulia Hotel in Brela. The place is modern, clean, with the most incredible views. The water at the beach is so clear and blue. Breakfast and dinner on the terrace was beautiful, the food is very good and good variety. I can highly recommend a holiday there if you want to relax. There’s not very much else to see or do in Brela. You can do day trips though. The whole place (hotel and village) ist built on a hill so lots of stairs and steep walks. It could be difficult for someone with mobility issues. We had a great time.

We fly over from Canada and we get the worst room,, it was like besment. Only one window small size no sunlight whatsoever. When you book the room they said is classic room. For that money what we spent on it., it is horrible. Cleaning stuff was amazing they keep the room clean and they were friendly . Front desk only one man deserves our thanks . Ivan the young man he was amazing ,we thank him for the help .

Dear Jozo,thank you for coming. You have made a reservation for a Classic Double Room, which does not have a balcony, only a window. Unfortunately, we were not able to upgrade because we were fully booked.We can currently only hope that the positive memories of your holiday will dominate. We would be delighted to welcome you again, in order to meet all your expectations. With best regards,Matko RibičićHotel Manager

Lovely hotel - very comfortable & spotlessly clean - helpful friendly staff always willing to assist - well situated with short boardwalk seaside walk to either Brela or Baska Voda both with good restaurants & cafes. Beautiful views of sea & mountains facing island of Brac. Not sure much for children to do but perfect for adults

Couple trip to Brela
Stay was good, towel situation at the pool was very annoying. You had to give a card each day to collect the towels and then collect the card again when dropping them back. Coffee with non-dairy milk cost extra. Bed was two singles pushed together. Service and staff were excellent.

The staff were very efficient and helpful. The food was good. However compared with UK standards this was not a 5 star hotel. The parking cost 3 kunas per day for somebody to park your car somewhere on the very cramped site. If you needed it they would often have to play multi car shuffle in order to get it out again. Sometimes we would have to wait 15 minutes just to get our car. Also although this was supposed to be smoke free hotel it was impossible to eat a meal out on the terrace or by the pool without having it spoilt by clouds of smoke wafting over. Even my two teenagers found it disgusting especially at breakfast. The evening entertainment was very limited and the vocalist who sang most nights was consistently out of tune. Furthermore there was no evening entertainment at all on Saturday evenings which for early August and the holiday season seems bizarre. Although the staff were probably one of the hotel’s best assets they often forgot to replenish the hospitality tray. I think next time I would find a hotel away from all the crowds too as the nearest public beach and town were packed and the beach covered in litter. The hotel’s own beach was better however.

Now if you have been to a 5 star hotel (especially in the US) you will know that this hotel by any means is not a 5 star. Maybe a fair 3.5 -4 star at the most. The rooms are crowded but clean. The AC works well. They gave us a room the reeked of cigarettes even though we requested a non smoking room. However, once we complained they quickly put us in a different room. The location is nice if you are looking to rest, peace and quiet. The restaurants are fairly close 5-10 minute walk. The hotel does not provide free beach chairs so if you are planning to go to the beach be prepared to pay for these ( about 20-25$ per day) They are free by the pool however. We paid for the half board (breakfast and dinner) and the food is good. Just be aware that at dinner they don’t offer any water so you are forced to buy their bottled water $5 per bottle (ridiculous). We stayed there with young kids and there are no activities for kids offered at all. Overall, this place is too expensive for what they have too offer.

One night stop over.
Our initial room was great, spacious with great view but the air con did not work. After a couple of hours of trying to fix it we were relocated to another room, not quite as nice but at least air con worked. One thing to note is there is no lift for the room we were moved to which involved a few flights down and up. Included buffet dinner and breakfast very good. If the air con had been working the hotel would have been 5 out of 5.

A real gem right on the beach
Having stayed at this hotel some 15 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised by the recent refurbishment. The new infinity pool has added a very contemporary feel to it. Everything is kept immaculately clean, staff are friendly. If you are on a half board basis, the restaurant can be hectic at dinner time, but there is a good choice of dishes including vegetarian ones. I would say, beware if you are of limited mobility. There are loads of steps from the hotel to the beach. But there are other routes to reach it. We've stayed at other hotels in Brela in the past, and this is far the best. We'll be back.

Nearly perfect
Overall very good and would consider going again. Only thing that spoilt the stay was dealing with a rude waiter on our last night. We left feedback on the customer form and despite the hotel making a big play on the importance of customer feedback not a word from the hotel since that is a real let down

Lovely hotel, waiting staff unfriendly and evasive
Lovely hotel with great facilities and the added bonus of a private beach area. We really enjoyed our stay but the younger members of the waiting staff seemed to lack training in basic politeness and engagement with guests. This was a pity because otherwise our experience was generally positive. Oh and I should mention that we did have raw meat served as part of a meal which caused quite severe stomach upset and veg was cold despite being sent back once. This was not dealt with very professionally.

Nice hotel. Especially staff. We booked our stay through Expedia, and description was totally wrong. Our room was with small hole immitating window. After my intervention we were transferred to Marina H. for 2 days to much nicer room. After 2 days very nice room with butifull view was offered to us. Apart of that all staff was nice, helpfull and polite all the time. Also great location, near to Brela and Baska Voda. Either you prefers quiet, family stay or party till morning.

Lovely holiday in Hotel Berulia . Steps from the hotel lead to a small shingle beach and turquoise clear water. Coastal path one way leads to Brela and the other direction to Baska Voda. Hotel was lovely but would not be suitable for those with mobility problems as lots of stairs. Good variety of food always something you would eat. Dining room staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and quiet. Entertainment each night

Lovely hotel although....
The hotel itself was lovely, clean with very friendly staff. We booked a sea view room however you can't really see the sea for the trees - not a too bad a problem but it is not inviting to sit on the balcony as it is a very small concrete slab Rather than a balcony! The room was very comfortable but a little on the small side for the price. Breakfast was good with a wide selection available. A lovely pool onsite although it would be a little better if the local kids didn't keep popping in! All in all I would recommend this hotel for a stay in Croatia as it has a good central location without being in the heart of noise.

Excellent hotel, comfortable, clean
Comfortable, airy, clean room with great views. Restaurants within a reasonable walk along the beach. One of the best breakfast buffets we've seen outside of a Vegas casino. We later stated at another "luxury" hotel in Zadar for the same price. The Bluesun wins in every regard as the best place to stay.

Beautiful seaside resort for the price
I was given a room with a beautiful sea view; however the interior of the room wasn't quite up to par. First, it had a bad smell and the the jets in the showers and the hair dryer were not functioning properly. The staff was very responsive to my requests, and they worked immediately to remedy the situation.

It was just okay
it's a fine hotel, nothing great or bad about it. It would all depend on the price of it for me then to come back since there's nothing luxury or exceptional about the hotel but at the same time I didn't have any bad experience with them either. Only note is the sea view is pretty much blocked by tall trees.

Excellent location
Nice hotel, with good location. Lies at the border of Brela and Baska Voda. Centre of both resorts are within walking distance. Baska Voda more crowded, Brela centre smaller but more exclusive. Beach very nice, easy walk down the stairs from hotel. Parking at the hotel can be difficult in high season, though always found a parking place t the end. Service in hotel overall good. Food selection quite basic and quality of dishes could be better.

In general we had a pleasant stay there. Definetely not 5*! Value for money not enough, food was ok but also not as amazing as mentioned in other reviews. There are a couple staff members who are doing their jobs well. But vast majority of them are unfriendly, kind of cheeky and havent learnt what service means. Good things: Rooms are clean and comfy beds. Sea/Beaches are amazing (very busy in high season) Nice pool - infinty style and in general good vibes and environment outside
