Overall we had a great and relaxinf stay. Great and so many activities for kids, you can track the daily program using their App. Personally I did not find the food super tasty, but you do have many options and eventually you will find something. The location is nice and they have a sandy beach. The pool is also nice , just be carefull about the rules If you occupy a sunbed and leave it unattended more than 60 min, your stuff will be removed- honestly there were people who “reserved” the sunbeds in the morning and didnt show up until 11:30 or something.

If you want to stay at the beach you need to pay extra for the sunbeds (with discount, but still)- considering how much you already paid, these could gave been included. The beach was not super clean, there were many cigarettes in the sand- there are no ashtrays so maybe this is the reason ( it does not excuse the people who throw/ left garbage behind). If you want to eat lunch at the restaurant it is extremely crowded and you can wait up also more than 1 hour- for families with tired and hungry kids that can be stressful- maybe they should also think about an all inclusive option. The walls are pretty thin, you can hear the noises from other rooms.

Everything was perfect. The most child friendly place we have ever been. Great place to stay for families with small kids. We really appreciated the little things like toys at the elevator and amenities specially for kids. There were also a lot of kid favorite meals to choose from during breakfast and dinner.

We had a sea view room and it can be a little bit loud between 8 and 10pm due to the late night program for bigger kids (movie night or dance show). This is something to consider for families with <4yo kids. The view makes up for it though. :)

Amazing facilities for children of all ages. Really nice animators, great and original activities in the kids corner, amazing soft playground, Playstations for teens, great kids pool, slides etc. An absolute heaven for kids and therefore also for parents;).

All was great.

It´s hard to write what you like if you like everything. Entering the lobby for the first time you see the medieval city of Rab across the water through huge windows. It´s one of the best hotel-lobby-views EVER. The room was very modern, very clean and with the same view as from the lobby, just a couple floors up. The staff is way beyond friendly and they must all speak 4-5 languages each. No one seemed to have a problem with Italian, English, German. Breakfast and Dinner are superb experiences, everything is fresh with local ingredients and a very good variety which changes everyday for dinner. Everything is modern and clean, we booked a massage which was perfect and I could go on and on forever. The hotel is a great choice for families with kids and still a very good choice when you´re traveling without little children.

We really had to search for things we didn´t like and we didn´t find anything easily. The hotel is simply too good. There are three very minor things that were not perfect but that didn´t bother us: 1. there are only two very slow moving elevators so we took the stairs more often than not. 2. the parking lot is way too small for the property which we took as a comedy and a challenge but if you´re not good at parking the lot can be a challenge. 3. the kids entertainment is directly underneath the dinner terrace so you hear the animation while at dinner (not too loud, though). Again, we were not bothered but if you´re bothered by kids noice you would be. So - VERY minor things where we would see room for improvement.

Everything was perfect, hotel location, facility, food and service, pool, beach in front of the hotel

Nothing about the property, but beach sometimes is crowded, which is again normal since its just below the hotel

Great family hotel. Super location with beach access and easy walk to Rab Town. Facilities were great, incl indoor and outdoor swimming pools, table tennis, computer games, pool, soft play, kids club, etc.

Half-board dinner service could get a bit hectic.

It is 4 star hotel, there are alot of them. But food in that hotel is decadence, absolutely huge variety of food and very tasty. Sandy beach is close , pool is also nice, everyone is polite. You go here if you enjoy excellent food!

We were 3 persons in one room, if third person is adult he/ she will suffer a little bit on small bed. For child it will be okay.

The breakfast and dinner were exeptional! We’ve never saw such options, very very good. Beds were so comfortable. The location is just perfect.

The pool is really small for such a big hotel in was way too hot in there, +30’C..

The view was incredible. The food was very good...particularly the apples. They might have been the best apples I've ever had.

Nothing to really improve upon...all was very good to outstanding.

The breakfast and dinner were my favorite, the gaming room is cool when not full of children.

Too many children running around unbehaved, however its not the hotels fault.
