The service at reception was very good but you will like this hotel if....................
- you are German or from an east-European country, we were two of five English people there
- you like average continental food, we preferred to eat out
- you like a buffet style where your plate is removed seconds after you finish eating
- you like "reserving" your sun bed by the pool early in the morning
- you like cosy rooms with limited space for storage
Brela is better than BaskVoda for food and drinks.

The hotel has perfect location between 2 villages: Brela and Baska Voda - 5 minutes walk to both sides. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The beach is 100 meters from your room, but it is really crowded and it is impossible to find the place in the shadow. An option is to rent a sun bed (25 kuna) and an umbrella (25 kuna). The room service was good, but the room was quite small for the price they charge. Breakfast menu was the same every morning. We did not take half board, but we tried hotel dinners couple of times - nothing special and you have to pay for the drinks. I would recommend not to take dinners in the hotel and walk to the villages for different fish restaurants. The price is more or less the same: dinner for 2 people with a starter, 1 liter of local wine and 2 fish/seafood dishes will cost you about 250-350 kuna. Lobster 1kg - 600 kuna.
Hotel bar is expensive and for the cocktails I would recommend to walk 3 minutes to the beach bar, which works in the evenings as well. There is some night life in Baska Voda: couple of cocktail bars and one beach night club.
If you wish to visit Makarska, Split, Trogir and Omis, the best option will be to rent a car and hotel staff can help you to do that.

My fiance and I recently stayed at the Bluesun Berulia for a few days. Its location can't be beat, which justifies the high price tag. We were also there at the height of the holiday season, and the place (and all places in Brela) was packed with Croatian families enjoying the beaches. At first we were given a "seafront" room that was actually a row back and looked out at the sea over a couple of A/C units, but when we complained we were moved to a much better room in the annex building next door. Our balcony looked directly out over crystal clear blue water. We spent our time either there or down on the pebble beach. The hotel has a good pool and terrace but we were too busy relaxing on the beach itself. The breakfast (included) is good - a big buffet with enough selection to satisfy anyone. The rooms are nothing fancy and the king bed was actually two smaller mattresses side by side, like in many European countries. But we were there for the view and the beach, and those absolutely did not disappoint.

We spent one week at the Berulia. Very friendly and helpful staff, perfect location midways between Brela and Baska Voda where there were plenty of restaurants, bars etc. Ten minutes walk to either one. Good beaches right next to the hotel. We had half-board (buffet breakfast and buffet dinner). Tasty food with a fair variety of choices. Only negative: Drinks at the hotel were quite a bit more expensive than in the village-restaurants.
