Girandella Valamar Collection Resort

Everything was just perfect! Accomodation, food, welcoming and kind personell.. They will cater to your every need and more, a stay fit for royalty! I have specific needs when it comes to food (gluten free, no dairy, meat and eggs) and they prepared delicious meals especially for me every day making sure I want for nothing. We will sure be coming back :)

Family of 4 stayed for a week at the Girandella Valamar Maro suits for a week on a full board basis. Maro suits are now part of kinderhotels brand and are particularly well suited for families with small children. The lobby has climbing wall, soft play area, games, slides from the 1st floor down, plus swimming pool complex with indoor and outdoor pools (and more slides) make it perfect and can keep children occupied for hours. The main building apart from several restaurants, spa, fitness room has more play areas for children of different ages although they tend to get busy (particularly video games room). Rooms themselves are a bit on the small side, but having small nook for children is a nice feature and together with balcony the rooms dont feel crowded (particularly as you'll end up spending lot if time outside). Attention to detail is notable in the rooms as well, from separate low sink, low hooks, steps in the toilet to large box of Lego bricks, bean bags, making it very children friendly (which is common across all kinderhotels we stayed before). Resort is one of few sister hotels in Rabac and its easy 10-15 min walk along the promenade to the town. There is also mini golf, tennis courts and particularly recommend to get bicycles and try the nearby trails. The are a number of small(ish) beaches, which can get crowded (particularly children one with a little bit of sand covering pebbles). Beaches are pebbled (like wast majority in Croatia) but are reasonably child friendly, and being only a minute away from the pool its easy to combine both. Beaches have just about enough lounges but it can feel crowded. Sundance beach club is very good and provides a bit of extra space to stay in the shade. Maro restaurant is also very child friendly, from high chairs to grear selection of food (and "usual " pizza and pasta are also quite good with pizza made in wood fired ovens) for both children and adults. While the variety and choice of dishes may not be as extensive as in some other resourts, its certainly sufficient and good quality (despite what some reviews suggest). Local wines are average and price of alcoholic drinks (coctails, wine) is rather expensive, but there's plenty of choice otherwise. Maro suits also have food and the bar in the lobby. Staff is very friendly and trying to accommodate your requests. Waiters in the restaurant recognise you and will nicely chat to you (if you up for it). Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would certainly recommend this place for a family holiday with small children.

Superb Service Staff - especially 4 the Kids - everyone takes care and notice of the smallest We are here with our twinados and with all of the Pools and playgrounds in and outdoors we‘re having a really Good time Restaurant wise it is a litte Bit Loud sometimes but everyday a delicious experience. Maro the Crab is Loved Boy everyone and the room with separate Kids room and Lego (Stock) and Seaview Tops it out

Stunning resort. Stayed in Designed for Adults part of resort, travelling in UK May half term holiday. Fabulous weather, 23-24 degrees, perfect for lying by pool and just warm enough for a dip in the sea! (very clean pebbly beaches). This is a special place, everything felt excellent quality, clean, modern, luxury, very friendly staff - they could not be more helpful. Very pleasant walk into older part of Rabac, with a selection of bars and restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy etc. surrounded by very picturesque hilly mountains covered in trees, very lush and green. There is even a little train to hop on and off en route into Rabac! It was the start of the season, so still quiet, which suited us as we had no problem booking tables in restaurants, finding sun loungers and even had the pool almost to ourself some of the time! Absolutely stunning views of the bay and the island Cres from the pool. A very relaxing holiday, with an array of activity options (cycling, scooters, mini golf, paddle boarding, kayaking, diving etc) for the energetic! You will not be disappointed by this resort!

everything was as advertised. go with all inclusive option. kids are overjoyed with everything. the food selection is great. room was fabulous , with unspeakable view. my favorite thing is the free wine, during lunch and dinner. we will come again.

I’m here since two days and I started to regret to have booked here, because the food is not good and today I find in the food some sharp shards of something, after I showed it to the restaurant manager he apologized but it’s still very disgusting and potentially dangerous because my child could have swallowed or even for me. It was black and pointy he told me it was plastic but it didn’t seem. The food is not good either, I don’t advise to go, not a luxury experience for a very high price

It was an excelent experience. The staff is amazing and incredible helpful. We could come at any time to the reception and they where incredible helpful. The swiming areanwas Client the rooms were that aswell. The entrence to the see is fantastic AMD their is a lot of stuff you cam do. We will gladly come back.

We’ve just got back from a 10 day stay and loved every second. The facilities for children are excellent, lots to do to keep them entertained. Table tennis, table football, Lego area, soft play room. The food is incredible, fresh, lots of choice. The restaurant staff were one of the best parts of the stay, they are friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Genuinely made the stay 5 ⭐️ The children’s pool is warm and the pool next to the beach bar made sure there was something for everyone. There are lots of other activities, bike rides, golf, spa, gym. The maro team were friendly and were constantly doing activities for children from face painting to making things to games. The majority of the hotel guests when we stayed were German and therefore the trips, kids activities were all done in German and our little boy found it hard to follow. We’ve had a brilliant stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

The food has been awesome! Huge variety, fresh, always served with passion. Personell was the friendliest I experienced for a long time. A pleasant stay for the whole family!! What I loved the most is the different spots to go to the sea. Small beaches were very clean and cozy. Pools were heated for the kids!
