Grand Hotel Brioni Pula, A Radisson Collection Hotel

As new parents embarking on our first family vacation with our 7-month-old, selecting the right accommodation was very important. Frankly, we couldn't have made a better decision. The exceptional hotel staff truly helped transform what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth vacation that will remain a wonderful lifetime memory. During the pre-season, the restaurant and pool areas were not crowded, which we greatly appreciated. The breakfast and dinner options were splendid. Every dish, from diverse meat options to fresh fish, was delicious. The restaurant staff were very kind and served coffee to our tables each morning. The restaurant chef even offered us to prepare custom meals for our baby. So they provided delicious, freshly made purees for us every lunchtime, which really eased our daily routine. So kind and generous! The reception team was equally welcoming and kind. Their flexibility extended to allowing us a complimentary one-hour late checkout, ensuring our baby could get a good nap before our departure – a small gesture that really made a huge difference for us! The baggage handlers were remarkably helpful, ensuring all our belongings were swiftly delivered to our room. We were also surprised by the complimentary in-room amenities. Fresh bottled still and sparkling water were replenished daily, a wonderful and unexpected convenience. Free coffee capsules for the in-room coffee machine were also provided. The wellness area, particularly the indoor pool, was exactly what we needed as new parents. It was uncrowded and peaceful and our baby really enjoyed the warmer water. The pool bar offered a convenient selection of lunch options, which were not too pricey. The hotel's cleanliness throughout was superb. The private beach area was also a delight, offering easy water access via ladders and concrete paths along the otherwise rocky shore. A beautiful public beach with easier access is conveniently located less than a 5-minute walk away. The hotel’s gym allowed a decent training with a bar, bench and weight plates. There are also treadmills for some cardio training. It was well air conditioned, clean and again - provided fresh bottled water! Beyond the hotel's amenities, its location is simply superb. In a secluded, green area with abundant natural shade, it offers a peaceful escape while still being just a few minutes' ride from town. Mobility was also effortless, easily accessible parking close to the hotel allowed exit and re-entry with our room card. All in all, I really recommend this hotel; it truly offers exceptional value and is worth the price!

A fantastic hotel in a great setting overlooking the sea. All the facilities are pretty new - the beds are comfortable, there are plenty of great staff, the food and drink are top quality, service is good. Its only 20 mins from airport too. We stayed B&B and went into Pula for dinner most nights - ubers only 8 euros each way. Guest services arranged a boat trip to the Brijuni national park island nearby - great fun. Only improvements I would suggest are - a bit more kit in the gym and have a designated area for smokers/vapers away from the sunbeds/pool/terrace areas.... its not nice sunbathing next to a smoker!
