The hotel itself exceded our expectations. The decor and features in the room was flawless. However, on holiday you don't like to spend too much time there, the rest of the facilities were great. As mentioned before there was a race to reserve beds by the pool but in fact we would definately recommend the Yacht Club. You do pay for the beds, 45kn each for the day, but it was well worth it for the peace and tranquility and beautiful view across the bay. Elma looked after us and should be congratulated for coping so well serving food and drinks on her own during busy lunch times. The beer is also cheaper there than in the hotel. That will all become irrelevant when they go all inclusive next year and it is for this reason I would not return to this hotel. The other main problem was total lack of anything to do in the evening. We did stay towards the end of the season but if it were not for Darius' cinema we would have been back in our rooms after dinner. The hotel is on a peninsular and quite cut off from anything. You could get a local bus into Pula but even there, once was enough. I would recommend going on to Rovinj and Porec for a day trip. Our Thompson rep was great, always on hand to help sort out any queries. We booked the trip to Slovenia and the caves and Lipizana horses. This was wonderful but quite a long day as I think most of the trips were. My husband had a diving lesson at the Yacht Club, it is now something he wants to do again.
We will return to Croatia but not to Pula.

Stylish hotel, very clean. The service provided by some staff was fantastic (Ellen at the pool bar), others appallingly bad (reception - particularly red headed lady). The food choice and quality in the buffet restaurant was excellent and very healthy options available, could not fault in any way. The bar service on a night was very slow and we complained a few times during our stay (this was rectified quickly). The sunbed situation by the pool is ridiculous, the pool is quite small so there is a fight for beds everyday to the extend that i counted 24 towels out before 8am one morning, this was a usual occurrence. On some mornings the pool cleaners moved all towels off 'reserved' beds to clean properly, this then caused many arguments later on in the day when peope returned, thinking they had reserved a bed, and found they did not. This was very stressful and seemed to upset quite a few unsuspecting guests on the receiving end of rants! The hotel was a nice environment to stay in but Pula inself is not developed/touristy and the hotel is out on a limb with nowhere to walk to (had to get taxi to Pula or bus to Rovinj). I do have to say the trip by Thomsons to Lake Bled was absolutely fantastic and the rep did a magnificent job - would definitely recommend that. I should also say the Thomsons hotel rep was also great and really looked after us. However, the combination of sunbed problems/stress and being so removed from everything but prevent me booking to stay here again. If going to this region again i would definitely stay in Rovinj.

Arrived back yesterday from 10 days at the Park Plaza Histria and had a wonderful first time trip to Croatia. The Hotel was very clean, staff very helpful and friendly, the food was very good with a great selection at breakfast and the evening meal. The indoor pool, steam and sauna rooms were excellent, kept very clean and the staff always pleased to help. All the staff from cleaning staff, restaurant to reception staff made us feel very welcome, and always had a lovely smile to greet us with . As it was late in the season the surrounding area was very quiet but that added to the peacefulness of the area and made for a very relaxing holiday. Would I visit this Hotel again YES!! Thank you so much to all of the staff

The Hotel was clean , staff were helpful and friendly, nothing to complain about at all, good choice of food at breakfast and dinner. The swimming pool area was great as were the grounds but our favourite part was having lunch at the Bistro run by lovely Ana, she was so hardworking but always ready with a big smile
