Hotel Bellevue

This is definitely not what one would consider a 5 star hotel. I was super disappointed. To first mention some positives….the cleaning people and waiters/waitresses are very polite and helpful. Rooms were comfy and clean however the balcony allows for people to smoke. So we got stuck next to someone who smoked like crazy all day long and made using our balcony very limited. Then we have the pool area which is in disarray. All the pools have rust, missing tiles, and openings without covers. My son actually cut his foot on a metal cover in the indoor pool. The outside beach area looks nicer, but don’t be deceived. There is an area that has a slope access to walk into the water… it’s covered in algae so it’s incredibly slippery to walk on. Therefore it’s not suitable for elderly or children to walk on. There are few waiters making any beach side service very difficult to get. I saw one “life guard” by the pool for 5 min one day. There is no one to maintain any safety or order. Money doesn’t buy class and people allow their children to run wild everywhere. Kids were even leaping off the main pool with the waterfall into the one below. No one seemed to care at all about how dangerous that was since the pool below was too shallow. It was just Insane. Kids were even running around the hallways all night long. And clearly the rooms were not soundproof since we heard all the noise in the hallway. And lastly, the reception desk is the worst I ever experienced. Very poor communication with guests and amongst themselves. We had to reconfirm our airport transfer multiple times. Then we were promised packed lunches since we were leaving for the airport early the next morning. That morning, no one knew anything. I honestly was just so disappointed that I would never come back or recommend it to anyone. It’s way too overpriced if all you are paying for is the bed.

To start from the beginning! We arrived on Monday around 2pm, room was ready, check in experience was very nice! Room is nice, clean and tidy! Good start! Once we arrived on the beach, no beds, plus NO TOWELS! Ok it can happen, but after asking few employees to help me get towels they send me to the spa to get some by myself or to take one from my room. Informed receptionist, he couldn’t care less! To get service on the beach took 35min, in the end went alone to order on the bar! Waiter apologized saying that they are short with staff, and that is all that he can say! Going out, asking for a car , that they parked and we don’t know where it is, they send us to look for it somewhere on the parking, in the end when we said that we dont feel like doing that, they got us a car. Turn down service was good, except dirty cleaning cloth left in the room on the door to the bathroom! Decided to rent a bike for few hours! Reception suggested to get one from Alhambra hotel! Great! When asked if they can give them a call and book for us, they sent us to go there and book it alone as they can not help! Never seen something like this in my life! We stayed in quite a few 5 star hotels and this one is all but not 5 star service hotel! This employees are left alone to deal with all this volume with no management support what can be seen immediately! Such a shame!

Elegance and comfort of Hotel Bellevue in Losinj, where you can enjoy spacious, luxurious rooms and exceptional service from our welcoming staff. As you enter this exceptional establishment, you are immediately enveloped by an aura of sophistication and tranquility, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Losijn Island is a hidden gem in crystal clear waters 50k of zadar, Croatia which you travel by Catamaran to. It's not a 5 minute journey so be aware. The catamaran docks into their private bay and staff are waiting for your arrival to disembarke your luggage while your stroll around the small bay to the hotel. You are greeted by the friendliest reception staff who can't help you enough. The rooms are spacious with balconies either onto the bay or the woods that surround the hotel, it's so quiet that the bird song is the noisiest thing I heard! I can't express how impressed I was with the service, their flexibility to dietary requirements which went above and beyond anywhere I've been with an incredible selection for breakfast of fresh baked breads, cheeses, fruits, meats and fish and so much more. There is large wrap around terrace which is sun drenched and before you even sit down the staff are there, seeing to your every need to give you a truly leisurely meal. The new Japanese restaurant wasn't quite open but looks impressive. Both indoor and outside pools are salt water from the sea with a secret spa area with hot tubs and seating to squirrel away which is linked to the incredible spa they have. I didn't get a chance to experience it this but that's not the only one within the resort, next door is Hotel Alhambra which has its own identity, and also magnificent. There is so much to explore in the island and many local products to try The bay is set up in the summer with water sports and the concierge can organise all your needs. I've never had such service, they went above and beyond and we're truly helpful.. It's a quiet hotel and area but so much to see which is perfect for families, a special party or event plus couples or even on your own, you will be looked after. Losijn is known for its pure unpolluted air and sea and the plants that have unique qualities. The spa staff can take you on a journey to learn about this, including meditation by the sea at sunrise and forest bathing. You can enquire and book these through the concierge at the hotels. There is so much more in this resort, as well as private villas to die for with exclusive use worn butler service and decorated to a high standard to give the wow factor! This resort is very much worth an investigation!

The beach bar serves drinks in plastic!!! glasses. It feels like going to a cheap students' party. How much lower can you go? First time ever to have such appaling experience. I would love to meet the bright mind that came up with such brilliant idea.

What is best is their private beach and the cikat bay, the swim in the early morning as the sun rises or late in the afternoon as it goes down and there is hardly anybody in the sea beats it all. The water was perfect clean and warm, to get the front row seats you need to be early bird but there are enough places on the beach for all. It is nice and peaceful just to relax on the beach the whole day. They have a spa and pool as well. The room is decent, big enough, and nice. Some small issues with key which were resolved and shampoo that was not working. Hotel is big and you do not feel there are a lot of people and maybe at certain times it can get crowded for breakfast which was better in the past, staff needs training most are very young and not experienced but at least are trying. Nice to have breakfast outside on the Terrasse but there is not enough covered area so the shaded part gets crowded quickly. The drinks and food in the Restaurants in hotel and around as they belong to the hotel are very expensive and not worth the price. Food is ok but just too expensive. A few electro chargers available at the hotel and lots of parking space. We were early July so hotel was not very full. Friendly staff overall.
