Park Plaza Arena Pula

Had to ask for a vacuum cleaner to clean the room ourselves..with a death trap of a vacuum cleaner and a power plug that was falling out of the wall. Housekeeping was nice & tried their best but didn’t have a vacuum cleaner themselves…weird. Instead of a room with balcony we got a terrace where people ( outside of the hotel ) were walking past every two minutes. So much for privacy. Not enough sunbeds at the pool unless you go there at 7am. Not that anyone cared at the reception… Well, not going there again..

Excellent hotel, clean, modern, well kept gardens, beautiful pool area, polite and helpful staff. The gym is well provider for for the size of the hotel. Breakfast was really lovely, so much choice for all tastes and dietary requirements. If you want to go to Pula you can get a local bus very nearby, very easy but also a taxi/uber will come to the area. The views were gorgeous. If you want a choice of restaurants there are other hotels/apart hotels on other complexes nearby you can walk to these, otherwise you will need to travel into Pula. I would recommend for couples, families with older children + 13, solo travellers, business travellers. It has a very small kids dipping pool, and a small playground for younger children, but it is more designed for older families, couples etc.

Karla at the Spa was so helpful and professional! I had forgotten some products at the counter and she personally delivered them to my room. Denian at the bar was hilarious and absolutely wonderful to talk with!

Finding an hotel like this in Croatia isn’t that easy as there are just not that many 4 and 5 star hotels with this level op service and atmosphere. We can really recommend the Park Plaza Arena hotel in Pula. Located on a peninsula near the Yacht harbor with entrance to the sea and beaches it’s just a perfect spot. Great pool, good service.
