Park Plaza Arena Pula

This hotel is in such a wonderful location, so close to various beautiful beaches and surrounded by coastal pine trees. The saltwater pool on site is a great amenity with outdoor bar area and loungers. The hotel bar and terrace are well furnished and the drinks selection extensive. Buffet breakfast and dinner had a large variety of choice, something for everyone. Lunch was table service and again a decent choice. It was immaculately clean and well cared for. Made use of the small on site gym which was well equipped. Every staff member we had the pleasure of dealing with was without fault superb.

I had the pleasure of staying at Park Plaza Arena Pula hotel in July, and it was an absolute delight. This beautiful small hotel is perfectly situated just south of the town of Pula, nestled among the serene pine trees and overlooking a stunning beach with turquoise waters.

Though the hotel holds only a 3-star rating, it truly feels like a 4-star establishment, and the recent renovations have definitely added to its charm. The rooms are pristine and modern, providing a comfortable and inviting space to unwind after a day of exploration.

One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast served at the hotel. In fact, it surpassed any breakfast I've ever had in hotels across the United States, even those with 4 or 5 stars. The variety and quality of the food were exceptional, offering a delightful start to each day.

Additionally, Park Plaza Arena Pula boasts a beautiful swimming pool, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine without having to leave the hotel premises.

The proximity to the beach is a major plus, and the hotel's ambiance, surrounded by lush pine trees, creates a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. It's an ideal spot to recharge and soak in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Park Plaza Arena Pula to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious experience. With its picturesque location, recent renovations, pristine rooms, outstanding breakfast, and a beautiful swimming pool, it offers a fantastic value that rivals many higher-rated hotels. Whether you're a beach lover or seeking a serene escape, this hotel won't disappoint.

Love this Place!
This Hotel is TOP!
We had great experience there, I can highly recommend.
Very clean overall, nice rooms and good food. The Location is Top. The beach is very clean, the Nature is really something else.
We visited the Hotel Spa and Wellness for some relaxation, and the experience was amazing!
Massages, Body peelings, Sauna, and some Sun bathing and the Deck with refreshments have made us feel special, at least for the day.
Thank Karla and Ines for a very relaxing day. You Girls are incredible.

Thanks, Karla and Ines, we'll be back for sure.

….one thing was a bit disappointing, they don't do Sugaring Hair removal, so you better come prepared…

We spent a week here and it was fantastic. Rooms were clean and comfortable, the restaurant and bar were both great.

The pool was absolutely fantastic, as was the nearby beach and woodland.

The staff were brilliant, attentive and friendly.

Highly recommended!

One of the best places to stay in Europe for a seaside holiday! I can recommend it for couples or friends wanting a relaxing vacation.

I really enjoyed my stay here and unfortunately today is the day we have to leave.

The staff at the front desk and at the bar/restaurant are all wonderful. Breakfast is something to look forward to and even if there are a lot of people, it doesn't feel too crowded.

The pool is refreshing and cocktails from the pool bar are very good. There's a large park area next to the pool where you can stay in the shade under pine trees and have a perfect view of the sea.

Meals at the hotel are good and we would recommend dining their restaurant, or going to the center of Pula. Some other restaurants we tried close to the hotel were not good.

The only thing I would have liked is greater availability to parking. Trying to get into an off-road "parking" spot I sadly ripped off part of my bumper (my fault).

A hotel you won't go wrong with. The rooms are clean and of a decent size. The food, especially the breakfast, is excellent with a varied offer.
The staff is very friendly.

The location was AMAAAAAAZing!! We were able to walk to restaurants, the beach, tennis courts, and nature. The hotel was very clean and the staff was one of the best I’ve ever seen. They were always so friendly and willing to help with any questions.

I will definitely stay here when I come back to Istria! 😍💕

Very kind hotel with super service - rooms are modern, clean and have enough space. We had breakfast and dinner - both was very good and super quality! Pool is good, kids pool a little to small but all other stuff super, playground nearby, daybeds I’m the shade on the green (very nice), beach is 1 minute walk away. Personal is very kind, to supermarket and rental car only 10 minutes walk!

The Receptionist guy at check-in was really helpful, he showed us 2 rooms then he even gave us an upgrade to a bigger room. He really made our first impression very good and we felt welcomed after a long drive. Thanks to him! The room is nice and quiet, well equipped with a balcony. The breakfast really good with a great selection on food and live egg station, we really liked it. I highly reccomend this hotel to everyone. Thank you again we had an amazing stay and we will return back!

The staff were so incredibly helpful - I had lost my keys and phone on the beach and the reception team spent 45 minutes helping me call the rental car service, and really trying to help me out. And I wasn’t even staying at the hotel! Big shout out to Bruno, he was brilliant, and he didn’t need to be! And it’s a beautiful hotel - wish I was staying there! Thanks again - life savers.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room had everything we needed and the staff was super friendly. The breakfast was great!
We were also very happy because the hotel staff helped us to find good dentist. We are definitely recommending this hotel!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The hotel is surrounded by a small pine forest which is located right at the beach. The sunset was stunning! The hotel has a beautiful pool. Food was super tasty, with lots of choices. Staff members were very friendly.

Hotel is located on the seaside, but it's a little bit difficult to see the see from the pinetrees. And it is thankfull to them there is a beautiful shady area around the hotel.
I like the hotel. The service is on the expected level, the rooms are big enough, and a breakfast consists of all I need (good fruits, healthy yoghurts, and you can also order some dishes. There is much more you can choose, but it's what I need to a breakfast).
And the most important is that the rooms have a good soft (but not hammock effect) madras, Bernarda. My son, who sleeps on a guest bed has also received the same quality mattress.

Fantastic hotel top to bottom.
Everything is very well mantained and clean, in amazing location. Food is fantastic tasting and plentyfull buffet options for breakfast and dinner. Managers and staff go well beyond to make sure everything you need is addressed in timely manner. Will ALWAYS come back gladly.

A truly nice place! Nice and quiet by the pool, short walk to a lovely beach (mostly for hotel guests) (which is crowded with families, but lovely). Place is clean and staff is very friendly. Can easily recommend this place! Safe parking too.

Had a lovely stay half board August 2020. Lovely staff who were friendly and helpful. Was probably quieter than usual due to covid but we had no issues with sunbeds. Food was nice, breakfast was very good with something for everyone. Buffet dinner always found something to eat. Rooms were nice but would be good to fit some usb charging ports. Would love to visit again. Great location as not far from Airport or Pula city.

Superb staff, very friendly and helpful. The food is very good, especially good for dietry needs like gluten free. Very reasonable activities orfanised by the hotel eg kayaking and biking. Easy access by bus to Pula and beyond. Highly recommended.

Quiet hotel, very good breakfast, modern rooms, pine trees, right next to the sea - this hotel has a lot to offer

This hotel is spotless clean fresh, friendly and beautiful views. Family friendly with plenty to see and do. We saw 4 dolfins jumping in the sun set from the beach 100m walk from the hotel. The food is what you pay for. A range of quality to how much you spend. The buffet with the half board was very good. Beautiful presentation of food and hotel. 22/8/2017

I have absolutely LOVED the spa treatments here. Carla gave me the most amazing massage and even though it was only 20 minutes she went above and beyond to make sure I had a lovely experience. One of the best massages I’ve ever had and would highly recommend the spa.
