2.What kind of accommodation in Brela do you need?

Accommodation in Brela, as we have already said, offers something for various types of travelers. It can seem to you when you just start your search that there is too much of everything and that there is no way to choose the ideal one for you. Don’t worry, through a few simple criteria and priorities you can easily find what you are looking for or at least defined criteria of what you need. When you have determined the travel date or at least the approximate period or month during which you would like to stay in Brela, it is your turn to define what type of accommodation is ideal for you. Most often, the type of accommodation depends on the number of people traveling together.

If you are traveling as a couple, your choice can be a hotel room, a room in private accommodation with breakfast, or a smaller apartment where you will have everything you need. If you are traveling with your family, you will certainly need a larger apartment, and depending on the number of children, more bedrooms.

A good choice for families is whole houses with a swimming pool, where you can have maximum comfort. When choosing accommodation for several couples or families, it is often possible to find separate smaller apartments in the same house, which many guests choose as an option.

In your search or inquiry that you send to the agency, it is certainly worth highlighting the exact number of people, children and children’s ages, as well as which option suits you in terms of sleeping arrangements and the number of bedrooms.

3. Which part of Brela is the best for accommodation?

There is no correct answer to this question. The position of your apartment or house where you will find your accommodation in Brela largely depends on what your priorities are when looking for accommodation.

For some it is the proximity of a certain beach, it is the proximity of facilities such as restaurants and markets, and some like to have a unique view of the whole place and spectacular sunsets. While some enjoy secluded houses away from traffic and events, others like to be located near all the events and the city center. It is important that you roughly know what is important to you on vacation.

For example, if you can’t imagine a morning without coffee on the balcony or sunset without drinking a glass of wine on the terrace, then you should have a balcony or terrace with an excellent unobstructed view in your accommodation. If it is important for you to be able to jump to the beach, and then return to rest in the apartment, do not leave this criterion out when searching or sending inquiries to the local agency.

4.How much budget for accommodation in Brela do you have?

When planning a vacation, everyone plans a certain budget that they plan to spend on their vacation, and its important segments, in this case, are certainly the price of accommodation in Brela, the costs of food and drinks, excursions, and additional activities.

Accommodation prices, as everywhere, differ depending on the period of the season, and of course also on the type of accommodation, the contents of the accommodation, its quality and equipment, and then also the location.

Of course, when viewing offers, it is important to check whether the price fits into your budget, and if you know it in advance, it can make your search easier but don’t take it as a limitation or an obstacle to the perfect accommodation. Most quality apartments or houses offer excellent value for money and guarantee good quality and all essential facilities.

The coronavirus epidemic and global events have to some extent affected the habits of consumers and tourists, so last-minute accommodation bookings have been acceptable and quite common in recent years. But over time, the number of people traveling returns to the levels of 2019, and with that, vacation planning and booking of all vacation-related content are happening much earlier.
