Hotels With Swimming Pools in Istria County, Croatia

I stayed in this hotel for one night in May 2023. Inside, the hotel looks nice and rooms are quite cozy. There is a large bed and given that I was traveling for business it was important for me to have a big working table. Bathroom was very clean and they have Elemis cosmetics which surprised me - very nice! I rated it four stars only due to the fact that from the outside the hotel looks a bit old and access to the hotel is not very nice to me. It has its own beach and is very well located for calm morning walks. Staff was very polite.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with oversized balconies. The hotel has a variety of facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, gyms, SPA, etc., while looking at the sea and the forest, it is actually very suitable for a few days on vacation. We left for one night after visiting Rovinj and it was a pity

Hotel is nice, friendly, and impeccably clean, but stay here to visit with Elvir the bartender and his wonderful collection of local brandies, gins, and liqueurs. When we travel it’s all about “what can we do here we can’t do anywhere else?” It’s getting harder. The world is getting smaller. Over the course of two nights my wife and I enjoyed Elvir’s company (and his impeccable English-he worked on US based cruise lines for many years) as he served us mistletoe toe brandy, Terran wine liqueur, a gin made by retied Air Force pilots, and many more wonderful spirits, all pared with his extensive knowledge of the Istrian peninsula and the facilities that make these exotic elixirs. I’ve run out of synonyms for booze so I’ll wrap this up. Stay at the Park Plaza Arena in Pula, cozy up to Elvir’s bar, and tell him Hayes and R sent you and you want to try the local hooch! And Elvir-please look us up if you come to the states so I can share my own modest collection :).

The hotel looks brand new, with refurbishments to the grounds, sunloungers and parasols. Set in lovely grounds next to a wooded area and a 15 stroll to Rovinj. Always plenty of space in the gardens and pebble beach, crystal clear sea. Food good but the dining room a bit canteenish. Rooms and balcony small, but the beds comfortable and the bathroom great. Could not control air con individually so had to leave door open which was noisy in the mornings

An excellent hotel. Spotlessly clean our room had amazing view over the pool and bay bathroom/shower excellent and super elimis toiletries. Short walk to bars and restaurants all very reasonably priced. Breakfast was very good. Good selection of fruit hot options including fresh cooked omelettes. Lots of cold selections along with extremely good pastries. Pool areas were very pretty with lots of scented Jasmin plenty of sun beds. Highly recommend this hotel.

Looking at the brochure photographs of this idyllic island Hotel, you could be easily seduced. It is a bit rundown in places however, this can be ignored in favour of the beautiful setting and facilities offered. The staff is friendly and will offer a smile in return. The Pools are regularly maintained and there is an abundance of sun loungers all over the pool areas and pebble beaches. The level of cleanliness throughout the hotel lives up to its 4 star rating. The rooms are of a standard hotel layout and provide adequate storage for your clothes. The wardrobes do not have enough space to hang a full length dress and, as the dress code throughout the hotel is casual, you may wish to leave the 'Formal' clothes at home. We had a few issues with the room however , these were quickly resolved. The restaurant could be improved. The meals area sounds more like the works canteen with too many reflective surfaces to bounce the noise around. Table cloths would greatly improve the noise levels and ambience. There is a sort of music played over the many speakers which reaches all areas. Quite frankly, it becomes annoying after a time. The meals are buffet style and varied day to day and cater to all tastes however, I would suggest it is strongly aimed at Non British guests. The 'Canteen' opens at 6.30p.m. and, as there are no table allocations, there is always a mad rush to obtain the best tables. Generally the food is of a good standard and along with free wine and beer on tap, is acceptable. Overall I would recommend this hotel. There are sea views from all rooms to varying degrees. I would recommend going high and take a room facing the other island. Ask to see a layout of the hotel and choose your own room. The ferry to Rovinj is regular and the town is worth a visit. I would definitely go back to Croatia. A country worth a visit.

The hotel has its own restaurant, where breakfast is served, ok. The bed is large and there is no extra bed in the room, but there is a large sofa. The location is good, just beside the pier, the old town is right next to it. The hotel offers free parking but stops in another location. The hotel will help you park your car, and the hotel will have a car to the parking lot. The rooms are clean and tidy, with many warm arrangements, such as room perfumes and small snacks. Recommended.

Just returned from a beautiful holiday visited this hotel several years ago now !loved it then and still do! About an hour distance from airport which to be honest went quickly due to the beautiful scenery! Hospitality is wonderful by all in Novigrad !even at one of the local banks where we managed to exchange the kunas we’d accumulated over the years ! there was no problem at all at the bank to exchange to euros! With no charge! Hotel was in a beautiful location a great walk into the town managed to do at least 10000 steps a day we so earnt a few beers and beautiful lunch in novigrad!Watch out for mosquitoes they really are out and about at the moment! As for the hotel the service was excellent! The restaurant never disappointed and the rooms were kept spotless ! Thankyou hotel maestral we will be back! A truly class holiday!!

We received a fantastic offer including dinner, night and breakfast. We couldn't believe it was possible but it was true. Eat and drink enough but you must love a very net “food shop”. For the rest of the hotel, the room is not big but with views and the shower is a little craps.

We're staying in the Grand Park hotel, where we always stay during our holidays. On Friday, we needed to see the vet for our cat, that we brought with us to the hotel, because she wasn't feeling well for the last 2 days and seemed like she was ill. We called the vet, and he told us to come to the clinic immediately but we only had ten minutes left, before they would close . We didn't know the way and we needed someone to drive us with our car to the clinic quickly. When we got to our car, we asked for help at the reception but no one took their time to help us, except Rikardo, who was very kind and helpful, as he was the only one to take his time to drive us there, ”saving us” in that stressful situation. When we arrived at the vet, he helped carry the cats cage to the waiting room, where he waited with my daughter until the cats examination was finished, then drove us back to the hotel. Such service, care and kidness on his part is unforgettable to us, we are very lucky to have met a person like Rikardo during our stay. Aljoška Joksimovič and Nia Gasperič, Slovenia

I stayed at this hotel with my family and found it to be a unique experience and enjoyable experience. There are no cars or roads on the island, it probably takes around 1 hour to walk the circumference of the island, there is a footpath to help make this easier. The island has it's own beach area which doesn't have any natural shade from the sizzling summer heat, so most people relied on parasols or the trees in the beautiful park area just before the beach. The swimming pool is large and was fun to use, because of the design, we spent a lot of time there. I should add, the view from the island, of the mainland, is fantastic, especially at night when the mainland lights come on. Unfortunately, the island does not have enough lighting of its own for night walks, which was disappointing. I found the hotel staff to be really friendly and helpful, great customer service. One downside is the restaurant, breakfast omelette was delicious, but apart from that, I thought the rest of the food was mediocre, and dinner time became boring by the 3rd night. Be warned that, we paid for half board, but this does not include drinks, which are overpriced. I think it was £4 for a small glass of coke and when there's 4 of you these costs quickly add up. On this point, I should add, Croatia overall, is a very expensive country, from Taxis to tours, because tourism is their main industry and it only lasts a few months. There are boats to pick you up from the mainland and from the island every hour, no charge if you are a hotel guest, and the boat Captains are very friendly as well, the trip takes about 20 mins each way and I found it quite enjoyable. PS the water at the beach is crystal clear and there are loads of fish swimming around close to the pebbles, so remember to take your snorkels.

Fabulous hotel for our 4 night stay. This was our 2nd visit to the area. We stayed in the Eden previously which was lovely but busy in July. When we saw this hotel we vowed to try it next time. The hotel is very special. The only criticism we had were the bed sheets were not white, they had a green tinge which made them, in our opinion, seem old fashioned. To be fair, the very helpful receptionist said they would change them from one of the other hotels if we wanted but we weren’t that picky, just wanted to make sure we hadn’t got a ‘dodgy’ set. Lovely big room and huge bathroom with walk in shower. Water is replenished daily and great friendly housekeeping. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were amazing and tranquil with lovely views, all the usual buffet items plus many more healthy options than in other hotels. Lovely cooked items from the menu - the French toast was amazing! Cycling was free for this hotel and because the weather was not as great as we were hoping we cycled everywhere for 2 days which was great fun - the national park is amazing to explore. Many restaurants in town with so much choice and great food. Rovinj is our new go to place for a short break as it is so quick 1hr 50 from Gatwick. We love it and will definitely be back, thank you.

Hotel-Restaurant-Enoteca Milano has been located in Pula since 50Jahren. The restaurant is one of the city's top restaurants. In spring a modern hotel extension building was opened. The Superior rooms are modern and functionally furnished. Comfortable beds, wooden floors, electric jealousies and a modern bathroom with XXL shower feature the rooms of 4-Sterne-Hotels. The breakfast in the restaurant Milan is extensive: home baked bread, wonderful cakes, Istrian sauce and cheese products, egg food prepared as desired, as well as a selection of cereals and fruit. To do this, a very good tea and coffee selection. The safe parking spaces at the house, the Enoteca and the olive oil shop are other advantages of this family hotel. Here you can buy good wines from your own cultivation and sensationally good olive oil. After the degustation in the restaurant, we experienced the first few days of fresh green oil of the first pressing harvest 2019 at a very cheap price. We recommend Milan as the ideal weekend and airport hotel in Pula.

The stay at Pula City Center Acommodation was good provided a few shortcomings. This was not the way the WiFi worked and the roller lock was not closed completely, fortunately it did not work so much. We booked a superior room and this was quite compact, certainly the bathroom. This is according to the standards, but it does not happen immediately. The receptionist was friendly and asked if everything was okay after breakfast. This was certainly in order and there was enough variation. The free parking is conveniently located a few meters away, and when we arrived, they asked to load everything and check in first, and then we could remove the car. This was good intention but it was uncomfortable to leave the car in the middle of a city centre with 4 pink on the street. I would recommend Pula City Center for a shorter stay. The hotel is located at 10-15 min walk from the centre.
