Miramar Sunny Hotel by Valamar

We are very satisfied. Especially with the staff, with the service and with the food. The rooms are clean and tidy .The view is wonderful .They treated our dog wonderfully. See you soon next year. I can’t wait.

5* review for so many reasons! We've been made to feel SO welcome and that feeling has continued (I'm writing this review during our holiday) The hotel position is perfect, a very short walk to the sea and riva. Scenery around the bay breathtaking and the sea crystal clear. The guy on reception was brilliant at check in and we were allocated a high floor with THE most amazing sea views we've ever had (1315). It's so relaxing to sit on the balcony with a lovely drink from the bar. Such a laid back hotel and we love the open dining room idea (breakfast through to lunch) ... and the amazing restaurant manager who is SO pleasant, attentive and kind to everyone - typical of the lovely Istrian people (which is one of the reasons we come back again and again to this beautiful country!).

Me and my husband stayed at this hotel for a week 6th to the 13th June . We 've been to Rabac probably two or three times and love the place , but have never stayed at this hotel before . The hotel has got a lot of positives . Firstly all the staff we had any dealings with were helpful and friendly , especially staff on reception . The rooms and the rest of the hotel were spotless and the location was good except it was up quite a steep road which if you had any sort of mobilty problems would be difficult . Now to the negatives . We booked this hotel as restful break , we are both in our sixties . When we arrived on the Tuesday and up until the Sunday morning the hotel was basically full of families . The lounge /bar area had a table tennis table , various sit along toys for toddlers , play house and other toys. Kids were running around enjoying themselves and it felt like a cross between a playschool and a youth club. Perhaps we should have spent more time reading the reviews for this hotel but it was not a peaceful experience . The food was basic , great for kids and teenagers , lots of pizza , meatballs burgers etc.. but I never came away and felt I'd had a lovely meal . The other thing was the food was never that hot , even when we came to break fast at 7 am on the last morning the hot food on offer wasn't that hot. There was a microwave in the dining room which myself and my husband used to heat our meals up which was a boon otherwise all the meals we would have eaten would have been tepid . When we booked , and I don't think it was particulary cheap, about £850 each for the holiday with Tui , we were told that lunch was included which it was but in fact the lunch ended at 1 pm so if you were out it was a trek to go back and climb the steep road to the hotel . We probably had lunch there once . Soft drinks including water were free at breakfast and lunch , but not dinner which seemed quite petty . Pool area was pleasant and there was a circular pool but you couldn't really swim in it as it was at most 3 foot deep , great for kids but not really for adults. We complained about our room when we got there and were given a slightly bigger room with a better view , but the rooms were basic , no chairs just a stool and we had no mirror in the bedroom . Having said that the beds were very comfortable and really clean . It was just the wrong hotel for us , great for families but not for an older couple who wanted a relaxing hotel .
