Hotel berhampiran Samostan sv. Antun, Rab

Allow yourself more time than expected to get there. There is very little information on the website re parking, boat shuttle transfer & checkin & even after having rang and emailed ahead and then visited the Delfin Pier reception desk, we still ended up checking in way after we had intended as the information we were given turned out to be patchy and incomplete at best. You first need to go the the Maestra reception at Delfin pier with you car & cases & show your reservation to the staff. They will give you a ticket for display in your car and you will await the shuttle bus driver. I would advise waiting in your car as I waited in the air conditioned lobby with a drink as advised but the receptionist failed to notify that the driver had arrived (as she had said she would) and if I hadn't seen the car oark emptying out of the corner of my eye, I would have missed him leaving - I had to leave my drink, run to my car and race to catch up with the convoy lest I have to wait another 20 or so minutes for the next trip. You follow the shuttle bus to a car park about 5 mins drive away, park up (no shade) & jump back in the shuttle bus to be brought back to reception where you await your boat transfer. If this all goes seemlessly you could in theory be on the island within half an hour or so from initially parking up at the pier though I believe 45 - 120 minutes is a more realistic timeframe. The island is great. It has everything you would expect from a resort like this and secluded bays along the ajoining island offer a handy excape from the busier main island. Most bathing coves are sea entry from the rocks and the beaches (bar an artificial one on the central causeway which is sand up to the sealine) are pebbles. Clean clear water & plenty of fish across both islands. Breakfast was extensive & generally tasty but very poorly labelled which makes life very difficult for vegetarians, vegans or those with food allergies. Rooms were ok tho unfortunately there were no tea/coffee making facilities. After reading this in other reviews we brought a travel kettle. They were also a little tired with holes in the curtains, cobwebs in the shower & the air con was good but quite noisy. Balcony blinds, spare plug sockets & ample wardrobe space were pluses. Pools were clean and we managed to get loungers ok (tho this could have been luck). Towels are free to hotel guests (available from the pool bar) but incur additional costs if you wish to change them fro clean ones. There are loungers scattered all over the coves of both islands, tho the further from the hotel they are the more covered in bird poo they are. They don't appear to have anyone check on them or clean them which is a real shame. The grill on the second island was closed for refurb (July 2022) so come prepared with enough food and water if you plan to visit this more relaxed island for longer than a quick walk. Food at the pizza place was fine. Dinner at La Serra was great. The hourly taxi boats (7am

The hotel is ideal for families if they are willing to fight for the sunbeds and loungers! The behavior of the beach team -IF the manager is not present-is one of the worst we ever countered!. From the 4th day of our stay we had a very severe stomach ache, we were womiting and having a severe diarrhea! As we were eating and drinking exclusively at the hotel, it was more them probably from the food, but when we mentioned this by email to the manager, we received an email that they are respecting all the legal rules and they can not do anything else for us! It can happen that we just had a big bad luck, but one thing is for sure: we will never ever return or recommend this hotel to anybody!

Wir suchten nach einem bezahlbaren Hotel auf halber Route Zadar - Ljubljana und landeten in dem Hotel Erster Tip von der Rezeption war, nicht auf dem Busparkplatz sondern auf der anderen Straßenseite den für Hotelgäste kostenfreien Parkplatz zu nutzen Im Hotel ist es extrem laut, weil man in den Lokalitäten des Hotels versucht jede Konversation mit Musik und Bässen zu unterbinden, was man aber auch in den Zimmern hört. Ergänzt durch Straßenlärm, weil man auf Biker setzt Das dritte Bett habe ich selber gemacht, Bettlampen gibt es nicht, Frühstück fokussierte sich auf Croissants und allerdings leckeren Cafe Der Ort lohnt allerdings nicht wirklich und es ist extrem windig Ist der Putzwagen auf dem Flur
