Sehr gute Entscheidung!

Wir haben Ende Juli eine wunderschöne Woche hier verbracht. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Verpflegung ist erstklassig. Feine und frische Essen, mit täglich einer abwechslungsreichen Auswahl. Das Meer ist sauber und ruhig. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

Eine gute Wahl

Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen, etwas abgelegenen schönen Bucht und ist gut ausgestattet. Schöne Zimmer. Das Check In war perfekt. Das Frühstück recht gut ( buffet ) und reichhaltig. Das Abendessen ist nun mal Buffet aber jeder findet was ihm passt. Nur die Bedienung beim Abendessen könnte besser organisiert sein. Lange Wartezeiten. Ansonsten war der Aufenthalt schön und erholsam. Nur aufpassen. Ein Zimmer die mit Seaside gebucht wird, bedeutet nur dass es richtig Meer zeigt aber nicht unbedingt Meersicht hat. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Sicht auf den Parkplatz und Abfallconatainer. Meer sah man nur ein wenig durch die Bäume.Die sehenswerte Stadt Rab ist mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen.

Das Hotel war klasse nur bin Ich enttäuscht da ich davon ausging das wie bei Expedia angepriesen es sich um ein Erwachsenen Hotel handelt, leider war das nicht der Fall ich hoffe das Expedia hier seine Angebote anpasst und mir eine Entschädigung anbietet. Laut Hotelpersonal ist das Hotel seit 2 Jahren kein Erwachsenen only Hotel . Also bitte bei Buchungen aufpassen. Sonst war alles klasse und gut Grüße Frank

Schöner Kurzurlaub in einem traumhaften Hotel

Hier war alles perfekt. Das Zimmer geräumig, modern und tip top sauber mit einer schönen Aussicht aufs Meer. Die gesamte Anlage ein Traum an einer wunderbaren Bucht gelegen mit kostenlosen Liegen und Handtüchern, sowohl am Pool, als auch am Strand. Das gesamte Personal freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Das Frühstück, wie auch das Abendessen, beides in Buffetform, von der Präsentation der Speisen, über die Qualität bis zum Geschmack...hochwertig. Wir waren leider nur 4 Nächte, und bedauern nicht länger gebucht zu haben. Aber wir werden wieder kommen

Posto incantevole ma poco “privato”

Il luogo e’ bellissimo e il servizio ottimo (personale molto gentile e disponibile), l’unica pecca e’ che non si affaccia su un terreno privato (pineta e spiaggia) ma frequentato da tutti (bagnanti locali non a pagamento). Questo aspetto fa si che ci sia troppa gente intorno e si ha l’impressione di essere in un accampamento molto disordinato. Inoltre, esiste solo un ristorante nella struttura che serve il pranzo e con il fatto che e’ aperto anche ai bagnanti di passaggio e’ pressoche’ impossibile riuscire ad avere un tavolo.

Unser Urlaub war wirklich sehr schön, vorallem fanden wir das Personal im Hotel unfassbar nett. Ob es Renato am Empfang war oder Ivan, Andro, Petar, David, Bruno, Benjamin und und und von der Küche sowie dem Restaurant. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Reise nach Kroatien nur empfehlen. Das Hotel ist großzügig ausgestattet und lässt daher keine offenen Punkte übrig. Die Reise nach Kroatien war allgemein sehr abwechslungsreich, da es eigentlich immer irgendeine Möglichkeit der Unterhaltung gab. Z.B. Gab es eine Schiffstour, welche am Hotel mit angeboten wurde. Diese ist auch nur zu empfehlen. Wir wünschen allen Mitarbeitern des Personals eine gute Zeit und freuen uns, wieder bei Ihnen Urlaub zu machen. Bitte bleiben Sie alle wie Sie sind. Und vorallem bleiben Sie gesund!
