We really enjoyed our stay at the Park Plaza Histria Pula. The staff were friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis, and there was an excellent selection of fresh, good-quality food available each morning.
The hotel was spotless throughout, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We also had a lovely harbour view from our third-floor room, which made it even more enjoyable.
The swimming pool and pool bar were both excellent, and it’s only a short walk to the sea if you prefer swimming there instead. There are also several good restaurants around the resort. We particularly enjoyed Boschetto Restaurant and would highly recommend it.
The spa facilities were another highlight of our stay. The indoor pool, sauna, steam room, rainfall showers and comfortable relaxation loungers made it the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing or by the pool.
The only downsides for us were the limited evening entertainment and the amount of smoking in the outdoor areas. As non-smokers, we found the pool area and outdoor dining terraces could become quite smoky at times, and we occasionally had to move tables or sunbeds to avoid cigarette smoke. This is more a reflection of guest behaviour than the hotel itself, but it’s worth being aware of if you’re sensitive to smoke.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable holiday and would happily recommend the hotel, particularly for its cleanliness, comfortable rooms, friendly staff and spa facilities.
