Papaya Club — Restaurant in Grad Novalja

I recently had the opportunity to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the Nice Club, and while there were aspects that left a positive impression, there were also areas that could use some improvement. Allow me to delve into the details.

Upon entering the club, I couldn't help but notice the gender ratio, which leaned heavily towards a male-dominated crowd, with a ratio of approximately 70/30. This might be a consideration for those seeking a more balanced social environment. However, the broad age range of attendees, spanning from 18 to 35, created a diverse and dynamic atmosphere, fostering a sense of inclusivity.

One aspect that dampened the overall experience was the challenge of paying by card. Throughout the venue, card payment systems appeared to be problematic, making it essential to have ample cash on hand. Compounding the issue, the ATMs were out of service, which limited the availability of cash for attendees. A more efficient payment infrastructure would greatly enhance the convenience of patrons.

Another source of confusion arose from the inconsistency in participating bars offering promotional prices for cocktails. It was essential to identify and align oneself with the bars involved in the promotion to take advantage of the discounted prices. This lack of uniformity in the promotion implementation could be addressed to ensure a more seamless and customer-friendly experience.

The music selection within the club was a mixed bag. While certain tracks resonated well with the crowd, there were instances where the DJ switched songs too rapidly, impeding the ability to truly immerse oneself in the musical atmosphere. This inconsistency hindered the establishment of a cohesive vibe throughout the night. Greater attention to maintaining a steady flow of music and allowing attendees to fully engage with the beats would undoubtedly contribute to a more memorable experience.

Despite these areas for improvement, the ambient atmosphere of the Nice Club was nothing short of outstanding, solidifying its position as one of the premier party destinations. Its inviting ambiance and spacious layout make it an ideal location for group celebrations. However, it is worth mentioning that during my visit in early May, the outdoor area became somewhat windy, which may impact the comfort level for some individuals.

In conclusion, the Nice Club presents itself as an ambitious venue with immense potential. While there are aspects that require attention, such as the payment system, consistency in promotional offers, and the DJ's selection transitions, the overall experience remains enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend this club to anyone seeking a vibrant and inclusive environment to celebrate with friends and make lasting memories. With some fine-tuning, the Nice Club has the capacity to elevate its status even further within the...

Incident on June 7, 2025 – Excessive Violence by Security Staff

On June 7, 2025, around 5 a.m., I witnessed an extremely disturbing incident at Club Papaya. The behavior of the security staff was completely disproportionate and unacceptable. What started as a harmless discussion quickly escalated into brutal violence. Several guests were sprayed with pepper spray and beaten with batons – even completely uninvolved bystanders were attacked simply for being nearby.

After the use of pepper spray, the situation got even worse. People who were already incapacitated and on the ground were repeatedly struck with batons and kicked – even outside the club premises, after they had already fled the venue. This was not crowd control; it was unchecked violence.

When I, as an uninvolved guest, calmly asked one of the security guards why they acted so aggressively, the response I got was: “If someone causes problems, I can do whatever I want.” That kind of mindset is extremely dangerous and shows a disturbing abuse of the so-called “house rules.”

This kind of violent behavior seems to be tolerated – if not encouraged – by club management. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this venue. What happened that night was not about safety – it was about power, aggression, and complete disregard for...

Welcome to the 6th best club in the world - NOT!!!!!

I hope the 6th best label is about the DJ lineup and not the conditions, but I must say that even if Solomun played there 4 nights in a row, we would would never return. Here's why:

Per the images the conditions in the VIP sections are terrible, both during the day and at night. No cushions on couches (had to give some extra money to have the guy bring some to our already expensive table), run down facilities, impossible to sit on concrete sitting areas (cannot call them couches), chipped and dirty and sticky.

Service -- almost nonexistent. 1 waiter for all VIP tables, no security staff keeping people away from the VIP tables, security staff at the entrance rude and not trained and not letting people in at 5 PM when the club was supposed to open, even for VIP area.

Atmosphere: people completely running the VIP table as there was no security staff pushing them out so you pay VIP for nothing. People are rude and entitled and don't want to move from an area we paid for so you spend more time fighting people off your table than listening to music and enjoying.

This place NOT VIP but if you are still in a phase where you want to sit somewhere you haven't paid for, this...
