Hotel & Casa Valamar Sanfior

the good: very friendly staff, good location however be aware that the beach is full of rocks that can be dangerous to children if there are waves. the sea is beautiful, very clean water. 5* for the lady who greets guests at dinner, incredible attitude and genuine, loved meeting her daily! the bad: room and the furniture is more like a 3 star hotel (although it has some ingenious features like a location for bags under the closet, AC that runs on low when not in the room). the hallways look really bad (no lights or broken lights, broken ceiling). Walls are paper thin, you can hear everything above and next to you, we were lucky that we didn't have noisy guests near us. the food: there's a lot on offer (maybe too much) however the quality of ingredients is questionable, we tried many things and some tasted bad or were very bland. the coffee is simply bad, worse then supermarket coffee - not uncommon in Croatia (we asked for coffee from the bar at an extra price and it tasted exactly the same). The juices at the machine are simply horrible, my suggestion is to remove these altogether. With all this said, there was something OK to eat every day. If management would focus more on quality and less on quantity I'm sure the guests would appreciate it.

Perfect for families - has got it all you need to relax with children. Amazing staff, children activities, food is versatile and great, good vines (abut pretty expensive). Good pools, and very close nearby beaches. One thing that was a bit of a worry - the balcony is designed with a big gap between the floor and the fence in such a way that a child's foot can very easily slip into the gap! If you have small children, be very careful and watch them when on the balcony! They won't fall, but could hurt themselves easily.

The hotel is ideally suited for families with younger children. The catering arrangements ,self service, are rather frenetic and if you leave say your coffee for a couple of minutes it is cleared away. Do not be late for breakfast as they start clearing away very early. If you want fresh orange juice with breakfast or coffee with dinner you have to pay extra ,this surely could be added into the total bill. Not really a hotel for couples and after a stroll in the evening nothing else to do.

Fully recommend this hotel. Located next to the beach and 20-30 mins from Rabac centre. Great facilities for families (kids club) and really friendly / welcoming staff. Food in the buffet is also above average
