Park Plaza Arena Pula

"Nice hotel Superb surroundings with a beautiful pine forest Pebble cove Friendly staff We arrived at the end of the season The hotel was closing the day after our departure, so services were reduced Expensive drinks and food"

"The hotel is top in Pula for a reason. It’s amazing. From the welcome of the staff at reception, the wonderfully clean and spacious rooms, the enormous (if a little cold) salt water pool with lots of sunbeds available (although some people still felt the need to put their towels down all day 🙄) The breakfast is the standout.. everything is on offer and super fresh and well prepared. And I mean everything you could want, meats, cheeses, pastries, cereal, various milks, yoghurts, fruit, bread, juices, eggs made to order.. it was very hard to find any fault with this hotel. The only minor it is a little outside of Pula.. a 5 minute Uber is around €8/10 but there is a bus 5 mins walk from hotel entrance. The drinks are also pricier than in Pula itself but it’s a hotel so expected. I cannot recommend this place enough and cannot understand how it is only 3 star!"

"Delightful hotel and very clean. Officially 3 stars but more like a 4 star hotel. Never had issues anytime of day getting a sunbed for the pool. The location is a bit ‘out there’ but this only added to its charm. We went half board and eat out a few times namely Bochetto and Bambo. The former being a few minutes walk ad. The latter a 25 minute stroll. The beach is very close by with a great chilled out area under the pines in the hotel ground with hammocks and double padded sunbeds. Hotel is extremely clean and well maintained . As a family of 3 we had a suite and our son effectively had his own room and bathroom facilities and when chilling in his own space could log onto Netflix. The breakfast was excellent with a wide choice and the evening buffet was above the 3 star official hotel rating. Special mention for excellent service from Viktoria in reception organising a taxi to Pula port and breakfast bag for our long day trip to Venice. Additionally special mention to Tamara in the day time lunch restaurant for excellent and welcoming service and also a tall gentleman I think was called Deja - always polite, friendly and helpful when serving in the main restaurant. I do hope the hotel acknowledges this and offers praise to these lovely people"
