Inexpensive accomodations in Pula

Facilities: large swimming pool but not heated and water was cold, very good gym (open 9am till 8pm same as swimming pool), several restaurants and bars, good size but overpriced supermarket, nice marina, tennis court, table tennis, football and volleyball areas

Mostly Germans, Austrians and Eastern Europeans. At no point we felt any concerns. You can see guys in yellow shirts patrolling on bikes occasionally, but you are not feeling secretly monitored like in some other resorts

Same goes for the rule of not reserving beach chairs - many are reserved with towels throughout the day. Outside of beach and pools, most textile since it is mandatory for entering shops, reception, restaurants, etc

Some areas are very crowded but there are also some nice isolated areas for just one or two beach chairs in a rocky beach. The area between Grill Snack and Spaccio restaurants was popular with elderly

Demographics: vast majority of age between 55 and 70+. Very few are younger (children excluding). Convenient for parents with young children with a lot of facilities and entertainment for youngsters

Beach: very beautiful long stretch coastal beach with gravels (no sand) - bring beach shoes with you to swim! Super clean! Plenty of free lounges and beach umbrellas, even though half are reserved
