Great food, forget the rest!
Great food even though I am a vegetarian. Lots of choice and friendly staff in the restaurant. Rooms very basic, but quite clean. No air-con so beware. NIGHTMARE Butlin's style entertainment every damn night - very loud so an early night is impossible. This spoiled our holiday. Rabac is heading towards being another Lagonos in years to come. Nearby Labin is lovely, with good local bus connections. I would not go back to this hotel or to Rabac.

Good 4 sun holiday.
Hotel ok & reasonably clean. Buffet food repetitive & below average,but free wine /soft drinks were on demand.No coffee provided at dinner.Staff were attentive & polite.Hotel needs quite a lot of refurnishment.the sliding doors on our balcony were very hard to operate.The free safe was situated at floor level.just what an over 65 needs!Not a lot to do in the resort of Rabac.Local bus needed to get to the bus station in Rabin (only about 6 per day)where buses to other places go from.The nearest bus stop to the hotel is only 200 m ,but be prepared that the bus may be full like it was for us one day.If all daily trips are taken from the tour operator then be prepared to pay over £200 each person.Hotel indoor pool was very cold,much colder than the 2 outdoor pools.the warmest swim was in the sea.Would not go back to either the hotel or the resort. Too isolated!

Don't use the disabled access !!
The first full day we were there I walked down the disabled access at the front of the hotel. You'd think this would be a safest place in the hotel. Wrong. What I didn't notice was an olive tree growing over the slope. It had been raining and hence there was a dangerous mixture of oil and water on the tiled slope. Feet slipped from under me and I came down a terrible thump. Ambulance called. Spent that day and the next with the Croatian medical services. Nothing broken but holiday was ruined. Help provided by hotel was two bags of ice cubes. Now returned home but still very unwell.

Good food selection
The buffet was excellent enough choice to cover all tastes. The rooms were clean. The staff were great. The only fault we found was being unable to get a sunbed as they were covered in towels by 8.30am although there was a sign saying this was prohibited it should have been controlled by staff. apart from that the resort was great but take some jellybeans for the beach its all pebbles.

Rabac - a wonderful place
Just returned from a week in hotel. Room basic but clean. Staff very friendly & will go out of their way to be helpful. Location close to beach. Food varied & tasty. Trips organised by courier were good & tour guides new their stuff which made the trips very interesting & enjoyable. Buffet style meals allowed us to eat as & when. Choice of indoor & outdoor pool plus a very clean sea - used all of them.
