Bluesun Hotel Berulia

We stayed at this hotel from July 21 to July 26, 2026, and were extremely satisfied with our experience. The location of the hotel is a huge plus: a quiet, clean area with stunning beaches nearby featuring crystal-clear turquoise water. For us, this is one of the best places in Croatia. A special thanks to the staff — polite, attentive, and very friendly. They handled all our requests immediately. Our room was spacious, cozy, and had a beautiful sea view. It was equipped with everything we needed, and cleaning was done daily — everything was neat and spotless. The food was delicious and varied. Every day we discovered something new — there was always plenty to choose from. We really regretted not booking this hotel for our entire vacation — we later had to move to another hotel in Makarska, and the difference was noticeable right away. Before our arrival, we were a bit concerned about the comments regarding parking, but in reality, there were no issues — we easily found a spot and parked our car without any problems. We will definitely come back again.

The hotel was lovely. Stunning location. We had a sea view which was glorious. All the Staff friendly and helpful. Always smiling. Concierge very helpful. Room also super. Comfy bed. Lovely walk along the stunning sea front for miles. Lots beautiful little harbours with cafes/ bars nearby. Beach great and water so clear. Pools beautiful. Infinite pool overlooks at the sea. Lots of steps but not an issue for us. Glad we went May though as not too busy. Good choice at breakfast, and lots of coffee available. Small gripes. Other than at breakfast you had to pay for water!! Restaurant food at night wasn’t very hot, albeit lots of choice. Wouldn’t like to go in high Season though as you really needed to be in by 8pm to get the full choice at dinner time. Plates not replenished after that. As beach was the hotels area was surprised that you had to pay for sun beds there. Service charge at bar if you paid at the time.Didn’t realise no service charge if you added to room. Iron was available for 30mins or you had to pay!! No issue with that other than maybe word it better. Can you please have it back for other guests within half an hour. No one needs to iron longer on holiday 😂 Jet 2 should have had their info where you could see it. Didn’t know it was there until rep arrived. However small gripes aside we had a great holiday with friends, and would defo return. Maybe gripes will be sorted, especially access to free water.

Stayed here at the end of May and had a lovely week. Breakfast buffet was superb-widest selection of any hotel breakfast and nice to sit outside on the terrace. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Ida who was always available,approachable , friendly and helpful.Beautiful beach area,easily accessible from hotel. Stretch classes in the morning with Doris much appreciated.

Why not have extra towels left by staff in the rooms with swim up pools … I don’t want to use my shower towel after using the pool. Also the buffet dinner is not great

Like another review said, there are so many simple small things this hotel gets wrong, that add up to make it nowhere near a 5* resort. From the moment we entered: no one greets you to take your bags, unlike Turkish/ Egyptian / Asia stays. The man on the desk rushed us up/ down steps & gestured to our room down a corridor, rather than taking us there & making us feel welcomed. He was the least welcoming front of house staff I've met. Room was small - no place to store or unpack cases. Just enough room to turn around in the bathroom, no toiletry storage space. The hotel rectified this on the 2nd day with a huge apartment - but I don't believe any room for a 5* should be this small. Both rooms had ant issues all over the balcony, making it impossible to enjoy the balcony area. When you get to the room, you can't use the mini fridge for your own items. But the hotel has no access to any drinking water, except at breakfast time or paying an extortionate €5 for small bottle (plus "service" charge) - at evening meals you cannot get water unless you pay, again the hotel rectified this it's crazy they take away the breakfast water just to exploit you for more €€. The staff all agreed but all said "sorry it's the rules we are told to follow" The service at the bar in the evening is so slow, I dread to think what peak season is like The pool area is cramped, with so many loungers together it's claustrophobic. The pools are small & more about the "instagram" look than enjoyable spaces But atleast there's loungers, cos when you pop to the beach they exploit you for more € by charging €12 per lounger (there's a cheaper guy along the beach) - I found this disgraceful for a "5*" hotel. There is no drink facility at the beach, so you either need to go up 106 steps to the hotel or to the pool bar. Many families struggled carrying buggy. The pool bar serves up half cups of coffee for €3.5 - again disappointing, you need to order 2 to get a normal coffee size The evening meal is 7-9 with small buffet area, it's overcrowded & makes it unenjoyable. Food was very samey but was nice. The hotel is soulless - no atmosphere, no charm, very robotic. It is definitely not 5* & miles behind hotels worldwide & no sign of 5* service. The evening singers were good despite losing their audience taking long breaks. Positives - beach is beautiful, food was good, it's clean - Ante, beach boy, Mihaela, Roko & the blonde young lady on reception were all lovely. I'd never stay here again & I wouldn't recommend the hotel. Which is the first time I've ever left a review like this. Thoroughly disappointing & overrated. Shame the Croatian entrepreneur sold it out to the Middle Eastern billionaire!

We are about to leave this superb hotel. The situation is stunning...quite a few steps but this kept us fit ! Food very good, an excellent selection is offered Sometimes main dish not as warm as we we would like. The concierge who was actively on call was excellent She welcomed us on day one and offered very helpful information relating to any questions or help that we needed throughout our stay. Our first time in Croatia and we cannot fault it or this excellent hotel.
