Girandella Resort, Valamar Collection Girandella Family Hotel

We have just returned from a week long stay. We were V-Level with two adults and two kids. The hotel and the location is really beautiful. The grounds are immaculately maintained. Rabac is a pleasant 20 minute stroll along the coast. The room was very spacious with everything we needed. We had two balconies, one with a sea view. Coffee machine with the pods being topped up daily, a bottle of wine a couple of beers and some soft drinks provided in the fridge to get us started. The kids slept on sofa beds and we had an enormous bed in a room separated with a sliding door. There was a main bathroom with a shower, separate shower room and a third room with two sinks in. There was also a separate wardrobe / dressing area. Unfortunately, the bathrooms and shower room all have frosted glass doors, which is a real pet hate of mine. Who wants to see their family using the bathroom! My children absolutely loved the main Maro pool with the water slides. It was particularly good as part of the pool is indoors and there are sun loungers indoors. It was very hot during our stay and my children won't tolerate being out in the sun all day. They were very happy to spend time there to cool off a bit. It was never overly busy and very, very quiet in the last couple of hours of opening. We never had an issue finding a sunbed. We also spent a lot of time at the v-level pool, which was quieter and relaxing. They have fresh orange juice there and branded soft drinks. We loved the prosecco hour each evening before heading off to get ready for dinner. We ate in the maro restaurant for breakfast and lunch and Momenti for dinner. I thought the food was excellent in both restaurants. The only slight issue was my daughter is vegetarian. She didn't usually want the vegetarian option on the main menu in Momenti, it was a bit sophisticated for her tastes. There is a kids buffet in Momenti but on 3 occasions all of the mains contained meat. For example bolognaise, pepperoni pizza or fried chicken. On those days we went next door to Maro, found something for her and brought it back to Momenti. I'm surprised they don't ensure there's at least one vegetarian option at the kids buffet. We expected to have the same issue when we used the Dine around option to have dinner at Black and Blue. It being a steak restaurant, we were prepared for her having to have a bowl of chips and then getting her something else later. Again, there was no vegetarian main. They kindly prepared some breaded brocoli and cauliflower for her, even though it wasn't on the menu, and she enjoyed that. The effort to accommodate my slightly fussy veggie was really appreciated and indicative of the effort all of the staff made to make our stay an enjoyable one. I enjoyed both the wine and the beer available as part of the all inclusive. There were also cocktails and gin available at the theatre bar. The play room near there with the lego and other activities was fantastic and both my children loved it in there, spending ages colouring fish and butterflies and adding them to the animation wall. Again, it was great having an air-conditioned space for them to enjoy to avoid the heat for a while. I could go on, we had a really lovely time and hope to return. Thank you to all of the staff, who work so hard to ensure we enjoyed our holiday.

Antonio and Smilijana are the best. Very nice, friendly and make the best sandwich ever.
