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 :).

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.
