Family-friendly holiday beach apartment in the first row to the sea (C6)

10/10 Excellent
"Appartamento bellissimo con una vista mozzafiato sul mare, vicino alla famosa spiaggia di zrce e anche a tutte quelle più belle! L' unica cosa consiglierei di mettere un condizionatore anche in camera perché l' appartamento è molto caldo...per il resto CONSIGLIATISSIMO"

"Pros:Beautiful view from the sea view rooms and very helpful, friendly staff, rooms seemed recently refurbished Cons: aircon in room was noisy and ineffective, no hot water for a shower in the morning. Plug socket sparked when plugged in charger and light switch hanging out of wall by wire seemed dangerous. Many steps to get from ground level to rooms and parking is limited and VERY tight!"

10/10 Excellent
"This an excellent resort… great location, good food, lovely staff… always helpful. … and facilities are spot on. However … two things to consider: 1) it is dog friendly, with rules to keep dogs on leads and in a separate part of the restaurant. However, it is not policed, and dog owners consistently had dogs on long leads ( I tripped over a lead!) , or some had no leads. In addition we had a neighbor leaving her barking dog… regularly… in her room. 2) the bathrooms areas are modern, but with inadequate privacy…frosted glass all round and no lock on the door. So .. space for improvement"

"A beautiful small hotel in a wonderful location. Service was excellent and the room was gorgeous and high quality in a traditional style. Our only gripe was whilst the room was serviced daily, it was just the bed partially made and nothing else. However, this didn’t bother us. On the expensive side but worth it and Rab is the most beautiful place to visit."
