This is our 4th stay at Isabella island , first time since it went all inclusive, breakfast and Evening meal were great lots of choice however lunch time saw a lot of pizza and the outside bar area you had to pay for ice cream which I didn’t think was great after paying all inclusive…..The hotel is beautiful and the staff are amazing and so friendly and helpful I would like to thank David on the night shift who caught the 7 o’clock boat with us and helped with luggage and waited with us as the transport that was supposed to be there was very late and we could have missed our coach ,even though he had finished his shift he stayed with us till transport arrived ,he is a credit to your hotel and we appreciate everything he did to help . There were always plenty of beds and so many places to go around the island , I took my grandson and he loved maro club they were great with him he loved all the staff . would definitely return to this island again and thank you to all the staff who made it a wonderful holiday .

“Best family vacation - Isabella Island & Villas (5 star part)”

It is not our first rodeo with Valamar nor Isabella Island and as always we loved it :) we started coming in 2008 and have been at many at their hotels but Isabella Island Miramare and Villas remain our favourite.

It is not our first rodeo with Valamar nor Isabella Island and as always we loved it :) we started coming in 2008 and have been at many at their hotels but Isabella Island Miramare and Villas remain our favourite. This time we stayed at one of the villas, which was a first time for us. From the moment you arrive at the parking lot, to the boat ride and the reception welcoming + welcome drinks you are met with warmth and a big smile. We got offered a very nive upgrade and ended in a room with a small kitchen which turned out to be perfect for our family. I would say that the kitchen needed a little upgrade: the dinning table had bumps probably from water and the bottom of the kitchen needed some love. The main bathroom also had a little hole, so I wouldn’t call the villa 5 star not when comparing to Miramare, but more 4+. The cleaning crew were super nice and the room was always clean. The rest of the holiday was however very much 5 star. The restaurant Momenti had great offers both for breakfast and dinner and we loved that not everything is a buffet. Very fresh! The people at the restaurant are simply the best!! So nice and sweet! As well as the bubbly hour arrangment. Only minor thing is the kids afternoon snack which I found was better 3 years ago. It just had more options. The pool area in front of Miramare is simply the best: saltwater, calm, amazing view and very comfy sunbeds! The kids also wanted to try the other parts of the island, especially the activity pool. Very nice that you can opt in and out from the other parts of the islands which is a bit more lound that the 5 star part of the island. It would prefer eating from Miramare restaurant, in the room or in Porec. The Olivia grill was a bit disappointing. The Kids loved the fried but we opted for a greek salad that was 80% olives and hence didn’t go back. If you want a bit luxury, not that much noise, excellent food, and nice pool, sea and views choose the 5 star part of the island. Even with kids it’s amazing! And of course their kids club is simply amazing! Their warmt and kindness is next level! We were amazed by what they prepare for the Kids. We’ve stayed at a couple of kinderhotels in Austria but this is simply so much better!

“Hotel com praias para todos os gostos”

Como se trata de uma ilha apenas com este grupo de hóteis há praias e piscinas para todos os gostos: praias com areia, praias com vista do põr do sol ou do nascer do sol, piscinas com escorregas, etc A praia em frente às Villas 5* é muito calma e com um pôr do sol fantastico.

Beautiful island off Porec, with regular access to the town. Island felt very hierarchical with the inability to use certain beaches and bars, despite the price we paid for an all inclusive plus holiday. Hotel was not as welcoming as previous holidays, very unclear explanation as to what we were entitled to with a white wristband compared to the basic blue wristband and V Level gold wristband. It was an expensive holiday that didn’t deliver. The rooms had adjoining doors in the main hotel that you need to be careful with in terms of who your neighbour is and noise as we immediately asked to be relocated due to a very loud young family next door. Food in the self service Isola restaurant was extremely good, service excellent but the only other option available for an all inclusive plus was a meal in the Oliva grill restaurant but drinks were not included. The meal was very disappointing with a set menu choice only. With two teenagers there was no drinks option such as free mocktails nor any free ice cream bar as has been the case in previous high star accommodation. Evening entertainment was good and we booked trials for SUP, Pilates and yoga which wasn’t made clear from reception that we had to find out for ourselves. Best things were free sun beds, towels and snorkelling in the allocated swimming areas. We felt very much second class to the V Level guests despite our booking being all inclusive plus.
