Finde Hotels in Barbat

Leider für uns insgesamt enttäuschende 6 Tage auf der wunderschönen Insel Rab. Wir würden das Hotel nicht wieder buchen und auch nicht empfehlen. Frühstück war absolut chaotisch. Ständig war nichts mehr verfügbar und es wurden nur in kleinen Teilen nachgeliefert. Aus unserer Sicht ein hausgemachtes Problem, da das Frühstück nur bis 10 Uhr geht und alle Gäste zwischen 9-10 essen gehen. Es gibt auch sichtbar wenig Personal am Frühstück. Der Kaffee war ungenießbar, die Säfte schmeckten sehr künstlich. Insgesamt scheint man zu viele Gäste anzunehmen. Parkplatz, Frühstück, Pool total überfüllt. Abendessen war im Preis inkludiert, haben wir ein mal gemacht, danach lieber außer Haus gegessen. Die Auswahl war durchschnittlich, teilweise angetrocknete Reste und wirkt alles etwas lieblos. Außerdem totale Bahnhofs-Atmosphäre drinnen, draußen wird man auf der Terrasse von der Kinderbetreuung beschallt. Der Strand ist sehr schön. Wir haben die ganze Woche direkt Liegen gemietet (kostet natürlich extra, war uns aber vorher bewusst) und somit das Chaos mit reservierten Liegen am Pool umgangen. Schon um 9 sind alle liegen belegt, es ist aber niemand am Pool. Hier müsste das Hotel konsequenter durchgreifen. Das Personal an der Strandbar ist großartig und Preise vollkommen in Ordnung. So konnten wir die Woche tagsüber doch noch genießen und Abends gibt es tolle Restaurants in der Umgebung, welche fussläufig erreichbar sind. Wer kleinere Kinder hat (unserer ist 9 und sehr selbstständig) und das ganze Angebot mit Betreuung, Abendprogramm etc. nutzt mag eine bessere Erfahrung haben als wir.

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
