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

Best family hotel on entire Adriatic coast. We are family of 4 and we stay at least 1x per month across EU and Istria region and were very much surprised with Girandella resort. From the moment we arrived everything was superb. Staff is all around great, special thanks to Dejan on arrival. Pools, beach and kids club are flawless. Best part and hidden gem is Marblu restauran with amazing local food, from deserts to pasta and meat. I have to give special kudo to Kristian who is managing Marblu restaurant and making extra effort for everything to funcion. My strong recommendation to visit Girandella to have great holidays.

We had mini break and fully enjoyed our stay , definitely would like to stay longer or come back soon! Hotel is excellent , staff was very welcoming and proffesional. Also, special food request was met to the highest standard. Thank you for the effort:)

Great location, excellent service, comfy beds:) lots of fun for kids! Meals are okay, the sortiment of dairy and egg-free meals is not so wide. Upon request they can make meal that meets with special diet. Sandy beach is not so big but the pools are great. Cleanliness is perfect! Teens programs are super! We are coming back again for sure!

Everything was really great, from the room, i.e. the apar**ent, to the food and service. I was particularly impressed when the waiter remembered what my wife and I drink with lunch and dinner already after the first day of our stay at the hotel.

Great service, great staff, great weather, great stay! Thank you very much Girandella Family Hotel, it was an awesome couple of days! Special thanks to Marijana from Maro Baby childcare and Aleksandar from the Restaurant! Family Živković
