Belvedere is an excellent resort with very polished environment. Breakfast is typical for a tourist resort, nothing special but the service is very good. Unfortunately dinner is definately not worth your pennies. Why don't they shimmer the lightning? Feeling is like eating at a hospital cantina. During evenings the terras bar plays music suprisingly loud, with the program clearly targeted for the german speaking seniors.
Rooms are very nice indeed, spacious and especially the ones starting with 1 (ours was 118) are just by the sea with magnificient views. You can watch the sea while showering! Some apartments/rooms require a sweaty climbing up the hill(at least >400). As one reviewer said: "You need to be fully mobile", so true. There are no rails for baby trollies etc. So you end up carrying the trollies all the time, as the resort has plenty of stairs. The beach in front of the hotel is very well maintained (blue flag).
Vrsar is a very small village, restaurants by the sea are offering very touristy menu's and you need some footwork to find a decent / authentic restaurant. The one opposite side of the bay (Trost) has good service and food. Also some Konoba's away from the seaside are offering excellent roasted pork. Old town is definately worth sightseeing (forget the train). Vrsar is suitable for couples and families seeking for a relaxing time in sun. Porec and Rovinj offer plenty more choice in restaurants, cafes and architecture. Local bus is an easy way to Porec in 15 min, so its also a good choice to spend evenings from Vrsar.
