"We had a wonderful holiday in this hotel. Although it was once designed as "adults only", I think the current change to "families welcome" has been beneficial, although remnants of the fact that the hotel was originally adults-only remain (instead of a children's corner or games room, for example, there is a blasted playstation/nintendo game room). It is therefore not a typical hotel for families with small children. However, we didn't mind that, quite the opposite. We were able to have fun with our kids on the beaches, in town or just by the pool. The quadruple rooms are just the right size, amazingly comfortable and stylishly equipped with two bathrooms. The half board is of a high standard, with lots of local and fresh food, a great choice. The only minus could perhaps be the sweet Croatian post-mix juices as drinks. However, there is also water (even flavoured) + of course you can order anything from the nice and attentive waiters. The hotel's pool, facilities, plenty of sunbeds, clean towels, helpful, smiling staff, rental equipment, e-scooters or bikes, and boat taxis to various Rab beaches only underline the hotel's great service. Even though the holiday was more expensive, we don't regret the money, we were taken care of in a royal way for a week and the hotel lived up to its name "Imperial"... :-)"

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel! We were very satisfied with the hotel and the staff. Everyone was kind and polite and the hotel was exceptionally clean. Our balcony had a stunning view overlooking the harbor – perfect for morning coffee. Breakfast was delicious, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and we absolutely loved the beautiful garden under the olive trees – such a peaceful spot to relax. The pool was also fantastic – clean, well-maintained and a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. Next time we visit Rab Island, we will definitely stay here again!"

"Excellent service, food can be improved."

"Clean and very nice personality, close to city centre. You get a discount coupon for a restaurant near the hotel(15sec walk)it's valid the whole stay."

"The room was a shoe box, items in the room old and worn out. Bed was terrible. Don't waste your time. The insane price increase and what you get with customer service is appalling. Every time you went to reception no ever there and when you request something, nothing is actioned."

"Everything in the room is great, but only thing that was missing is the fridge, staff at the restoran is very kindly but the food can be better... Lopar is great place for family with kids especially because of the beach"

"Valamar Padova Hotel offers a fantastic stay with stunning, postcard-perfect views of Rab’s historic old town right across the bay. The hotel features modern, clean rooms, excellent indoor and outdoor pools, and a delicious buffet selection."

"I can hardly remember to a hotel which met my holiday expectations in a better way than the Valamar Carolina. It is located in a beautiful, green and silent part of the Rab island called Suha Punta next to a nice beach. Rooms are spacious & very comfortable and each has a sea view. Hotel is equipped with a fitness, spa center two infinite pools and several bars and restaurants. Food served within a halfboard was a story itself… breakfasts so as dinners were small culinary celebrations with variety of top quality dishes offered. Despite several months have passed since our returned home, the Valamar Carolina has remained in our memories as a perfect place for a lovely holiday."

"A great place for a vacation, A great place to rest peaceful, superb sea view, only 3.5 km away from the town of Rab, The owners are helpful, available for everything, super clean, new furniture, large apartment...highly recommended to everyone who wants to come to Croatia to the island of RAB"
