Valamar Bellevue Resort

Beautiful place with stunning views. The hotel was clean and well looked after. The only thing that let this place down was the food and restaurant! We was all inclusive but if you wanted certain drinks, you had to pay extra! There was only 1 restaurant inclusive unless you wanted to pay extra to use the other 2 restaurants! The inclusive restaurant was a buffet style! Breakfast was standard, but ok! The lunch and dinner were very poor, and it felt like you were having the same meal each day! There was a lack of evening entertainment, and we were not sure if it was cause we were at the end of the season as we are in September! You have 3 pools and a child pool! These were clean and tidy! Only the child pool and 1 of the bigger pools were heated. Also, it says you are beach side, but there is no beach, just some rocks unless you travel down the road to the pebble beaches

We decided to go here for a break as on paper it was a large resort, but actually all the hotels are separate as we found out later into the holiday. There were 3 restaurants and a themed one, but only 1 open as end of season ( not mentioned when booking) this restaurant served breakfast, lunch and dinner (albeit lunch & dinner same food except for the roast) there was no entertainment and we went to the next hotel for that, but had to pay for drinks as this was a separate hotel and our all inclusive wristbands were not accepted. This resort has walking - lots of walking and not much else. There is a bus for €2pp to go to next village Labin - well worth a visit if you get the early bus and return at 1.30pm. Rovini is an hour away and well worth a visit, the concierge will organise a taxi as going by bus would be impossible or you could hire a car and then parking is impossible. Taxi was €170 and well worth the money. The pools here are good, a heated saltwater pool (29c) and 2 other pools one of which the seagulls loved. Transfer to/from airport is approximately 50 minutes each way - we got a private taxi booked with holiday. On arrival we got upgraded room, very spacious with 2 TVs but the remote seemed to work on both and therefore a bit annoying as when you changed channels on 1 it changed the channel on the other. The all inclusive drinks were strange - a selection of cocktails all pre-made, local spirits,local beer and soft drinks. Water from dispensers and house red/white wine on tap. In the restaurant house red/white wine on tap, plus tea and coffee, beer. There was no Bubberly at breakfast like most all inclusive holidays. All in all a nice area to visit when the sun out, but we seemed to of had a odd week as the temperature was up in the high 30c for the previous 3 months and we had the crap week

This was our first time in Rabac and this hotel was just a little ***** of paradise. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly from Barbara in reception to Ines the concierge. We went off season so not all the entertainment was there (so download some books and movies) but we met lots of guests from other countries so I was easy to pass away the nights. The rooms are wonderful and spacious the facilities were all wonderful. There is excellent wifi everywhere including the beach which is just accessible from the hotel and on its doorstep! The only gripe was the food. Not enough vegetarian options and even though the salad bar is extensive it would have been nice to have some dressed salads and maybe some theme nights so you are eating food from different regions. Will definitely be coming back.

Second time here, this time with 2 kids. For the last few years we choose Valamar hotels for a reason and vacation with kids is what you imagine when coming here. Rooms are clean and spacious, staff is nice and friendly, food is great and things for kids to do is on another level. Pools and area around them are also really clean and everyday we found somewhere to put our things. Highly recommend coming here with kids, and I am sure we are coming for the third time.

An amazing holiday for my children's first time abroad and for our Honeymoon. We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. The food was amazing with so much choice for all, the staff extremely are super helpful. We had a fantastic time and would love to go back

Now I’ve returned from the adventure, I wanted to say we had a fantastic time on our first trip to Croatia. The hotel is spotless and we didn’t find any glass on the floor! And there’s probably the occasional cleaning product on show because the hotel is immaculate inside and out! Our room was great for our family with the 2 kids having the own room which was a welcome surprise. Loads of pools and and the beach areas along the coast are postcard perfect! No pesky sand this year, it was great!!!! Food was great, always fresh and I can be a critical old sausage about food and I had no complaint at all here!!!’ Really, Really nice hotel!!!! Although I did have to cue for the lift once!!! But I would definitely 100% return. Couple of gripes!!!! I didn’t think the entertainment was very good, especially for 2 girls aged 8 & 10. Especially round out hotel! Not much going apart from a break dancing show which was a bit lame apart from the lad with a big mop on his head and a DJ who managed to go a whole night without getting one person or child up dancing, I think he needs to work up hyping up the crowd a bit. Because currently he’s more suited to a wake. Didn’t like the fact you had pay for the subbed by the beach!!! We went there one day as could get a lounger by pool and were asked to move by someone, which is fair enough, but we were not aware of the situation. Also it’s very hard and very expensive to do any trips unless you do a boat trip from the harbour area ( which are great by the way ) unless your happy to pay for a taxi to hang around for you all day and pay them for the pleasure, maybe rent a car, but the last thing I want to do is drive on holiday. Honestly though this a a lovely hotel, and nowhere is every perfect. Now!!! Big shout out to someone! Who is going to win staff member of the Holiday. This lady was great all holiday, she worked her socks off looking after the relax pool all on her own, including cleaning!!! whilst being the only person in the hotel who could make a decent cocktail! Delia!! We solute you!!! And the hotel should give you an extra day off! Either that or put you in charge of the activity pool and show the younger members of staff what hard work is and how to make a cocktail. Thank you! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back to Croatia
