    Staff makes the hotel, but the building needs renovation

    The rooms are definitely dated, especially the bathrooms. The view from the pool to the hotel building is unfortunate and also the fact that there is no bar service at the pool, despite the high beverage prices. There are also inconsistencies in the pricing of the drinks between the restaurant and the bar. Overall the price we paid is too high for the overall quality of the accommodation, even if August.

    Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant and lobby area are pleasantly renovated and the pool chairs and towels are nice. Walking distance to the beach is not too bad. Restaurant provides a varied offer of adequate quality food.

    A modern hotel with amazing dining options; perfect for a seaside retreat!

    • Solo traveller

    Despite the overall positive experience, there were a couple of areas where I felt the hotel could improve. The timing of the dinner (from 19:00) posed a bit of an inconvenience. An earlier start time of 18:00 might be more suitable for guests planning evening activities. The beach nearby, while close and convenient, was not to my personal liking due to the abundance of rocks. While this may not be an issue for everyone, it did affect my experience slightly. Lastly, the room, though it was generally pleasant, had some inconsistencies, particularly in the bathroom. While the rest of the hotel felt modern and upscale, the bathroom appeared a bit outdated and didn't quite match the high standards set by other parts of the hotel. Despite these minor issues, Arena Hotel Holiday in Medulin remains a fantastic choice, particularly for those who value an expansive dining experience and proximity to the sea. I believe these areas of improvement don't overshadow the many positive aspects, and I wholeheartedly recommend the hotel to other travelers.

    My visit to Arena Hotel Holiday in Medulin was filled with pleasant surprises and quality experiences. From the moment I arrived, the hotel's modern aesthetic caught my attention, exuding a blend of style and elegance. The dining experience was truly remarkable, with both breakfast and dinner offering an extensive variety of options that I had never encountered in any other hotel. The inclusion of ice cream in the dinner buffet was an unexpected delight, showcasing the hotel's unique approach to pleasing its guests. I also appreciated the well-maintained exterior, which perfectly complemented the location near the beach. Though I wasn't fond of the nearby rocky beach, the hotel's amazing pool area more than made up for it. The pool was filled with seawater and provided ample space for sunbathing and relaxing, creating a vacationer's paradise. The professionalism of the hotel staff stood out as well. They were highly attentive, accommodating, and flawless in their service, which certainly contributed to making my stay enjoyable and stress-free. Above all, the overall atmosphere, amenities, and experience at Arena Hotel Holiday resonated with my expectations, making it one of my favorite hotels. I was satisfied with the value for money and am already looking forward to a return visit in the future.

    The description of the beach was miss-leading. It said near a sandy beach, but the small area of sand was a fair 15 minute walk away.

    The rooms were clean and comfortable, location to the town was good. Breakfast was excellent.

    There could be more gluten-free options for dinner like pasta or pizza, but I must emphasize that chef was ready to prepare something extra for me, but I didn't want to be demanding.

    Hotel has great location, tasty food and clean rooms. There is a separate gluten-free section for breakfast for celiac person like me. The staff is nice and ready to help if needed.

    We loved staying here, staff, foods, location, everything, except perhaps that certain nation of people who still like to stake their claim to a sun bed with their towels 🤪

    The hotel is quite spacious. The dining room in particular never seemed to be crowded. I was surprised how quiet it was, especially around the pool.

    only two small elevators for this size of hotel. animators for kids were rather poor (3-4 year-olds had to repeat complex choreography, some songs were from the 90s instead of what kids listen to nowadays, competition were kid who had the ball has "lost" - some cried)

    We have never had a chance to enjoy the pool, chairs were occupied all the time (from early morning till late afternoon).

    Personal, food was great (especially pizza - it was delicious). Everything was alright (Glad to have AC and mini fridge)
