The pool and gardens are very nice and well maintained. The staff are all very friendly and very helpful. The rooms are modern, well equipped and in pretty good condition. Lots for kids in Medulin and a stunning coastline around the Cape Kamenjak.

The only thing that was missing for us was crusty/ baguette bread for breakfast. The kids unfortunately didn't like the Croatian bread. They did like the pancakes though!:)

We only stayed for the night and picked this place as it was near to Pula airport but we had a fantastic stay. It’s a lovely, clean modern hotel with great facilities. Our bedroom was huge with two double beds and lovely pool views. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. We ate at the restaurant and the food was really good quality with some interesting and tasty options; a great wine list full of local wines too. I slept really well in the super comfy beds. Breakfast was also great with a range of choices and good coffee. I felt the hotel offered exceptional value for the price we paid.

There were no USB chargers in the room but the hotel kindly lent us one when we asked, which was so kind.

Velanera Hotel had a great modern vibe. It was quiet, clean and comfortable, and our room was very spacious. The staff were excellent. A fabulous base for travellers with a car who wish to explore southern Istria - there is ample free parking on site, making this a stress free option. it's about a 12 minutes drive to Pula, and 20 minutes to Cape Kamenjak. There is a good restaurant on site too.

We have no complaints whatsoever

Loved the team of employees. Really engaged with their guests, in a non-invasive way. Recommended dinner options, had a great conversation about books, really took his time to make me feel at home.

Because I stayed in pre-season there weren't many employees on site. A little bell at reception would be great - now I had to go and find someone.

If the hotel had any flaws the staff certainly would made up for it. Incredible people loving their job and making the customer feel exceptional. Hope more bigger hotel chains had this dedicated staff. All the recommendations if you want a quiet stay with everything you need at your disposal. Also the restaurant was perfect. Not overly priced but exceptional food! 12/10

Breakfast was on the,terrace

The,bar was so quiet I could not tell whether it was possible to have a drink in there and no drink making facilities in room. Hotel a little isolated.

Beautiful styled hotel with nice swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff, great restaurant. Recommended as base for exploring Pula and surroundings.

You need to drive or cycle to attractions, the hotel is located some distance away.

The room was very neat, comfortable and spacious. The staff was also very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The swimming pool is great, big enough for the kids to play and for adults to swim in. The meals were exquisite, breakfasts were offering variety of choice, everything was prepared by the chef who is a great cook! A la carte menu was also very tasty, great experience for foodies, but also for the kids! Hotel located very calmly, no noise in the evenings or at night, good location to visit other places in Istria.

Very nice boutique hotel in a peaceful and calm environment but close to Pula, beaches and other leisure content. We got a spacious room and appreciated a homemade excellent breakfast. the restaurant is a big plus with great mediterranean and istrian cuisine. Very good value for money.

Very comfortable hotel, very large rooms with a pleasant design, beautiful pool and perfect location near Pula, Kamenjak and the beautiful western coast of south Istria. The restaurant is excellent
