Valamar Bellevue Resort

"If you are looking for hotel worth its money it is not this one. We have paid a lot tor this 3 star hotel. Look like camp. Food is disaster ( mashed potato is not from potato), drinks are chemicals, beach is small and you have to pay. Find something nearby for twice cheaper and you’ll get fear price."

"This hotel was absolutely dreamy and overall we had such a lovely holiday — we will definitely be returning. The views were stunning and easily one of the best parts of the stay. The resort itself had almost everything you could need, the rooms were beautiful, and we had a side sea view room with two balconies which made the stay feel even more special. The housekeeping staff were absolutely amazing and kept everything spotless throughout our stay, genuinely couldn’t fault them at all. The food was fantastic with plenty of variety and there was always something for everyone. I especially wanted to mention how accommodating the staff were with dietary requirements. My mum has to follow a fat-free diet for medical reasons and the staff prepared her a freshly cooked meal every single day exactly how it needed to be done, and every meal was delicious. The service throughout the hotel was excellent. For families, there is so much for children to do and even on rainy days kids would never be bored. We travelled with our 2-year-old and there was always plenty to keep her entertained, which made the holiday even more enjoyable. There were only a few things that could have made the experience even better. There isn’t a supermarket nearby which became difficult for us when trying to buy snacks for the journey home. There is a small shop near the wine bar, but it mainly sells souvenirs, inflatables and travel-sized toiletries rather than everyday snacks or essentials. Getting a taxi to travel further out is also quite expensive, so it’s something worth being aware of. One thing I think other guests should know is that although the hotel advertises a mini fridge in the room, it is actually more of a mini bar cooler and doesn’t keep things properly cold. This could be important for anyone travelling with medication that needs refrigeration, so I’d recommend asking staff if it can be stored behind the bar. The only real disappointment during our stay was that our daughter’s shoes went missing outside the baby club. We reported it and spoke with reception at the neighbouring hotel, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do. There is CCTV on site but not covering the area where children’s shoes are left outside, so unfortunately nothing could be resolved. I’d definitely advise parents not to leave expensive shoes on the racks outside. Aside from that unfortunate experience, this is a beautiful hotel and somewhere we would happily return to. It feels like the perfect place if you want a relaxing holiday as an adult, while also being an amazing place for children with so much to do."

"The hotel is fantastically located and has phenomenal views. Every morning during breakfast, you can watch dolphins swim around the hotel. The drive from Pula airport takes about an hour. The rooms, as well as the entire hotel, are very, very clean. The staff is friendly, smiling, and professional. The hotel reception can arrange car rentals. This is worth doing to explore nearby Labin and Pula. The amphitheater in Pula is stunning, especially at night. You can even take a trip to Venice. The journey takes about three hours. The food is excellent and varied. We spent a wonderful, hot week here. My only comment: since this hotel is mainly occupied by families with children, it would be worth considering designated smoking areas. I didn't like it when adults were smoking nearby during the evening children's disco."
