Valamar Tamaris Resort

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful Croatian resort but such a disappointing hotel for one pretending to be Four Star: No drinks making facilities in rooms No early swim as small pool does not open until 11am Main pool and children pool is closed until June as weather not hot enough (but it is for the small pool????). This is not in the brochure! Local cola is appalling taste so have to buy bottles of Pepsi at €2.50 each Hot drinks machine in foyer does not vend hot water and is switched off until mid morning Restaurant only open for fixed times, and does not open until 7pm which makes life difficult for those with young children Cot was pre-booked but not supplied. Requested one, which was delivered, but at a cost of £5 a night The hotel is geared up for German tourists. So, the television does not have any English channels apart from Sky News and CNN. The lunch and evening food menu is excellent. The breakfast menu is not. Their take on a “Full English Breakfast” is not to standard. All rooms are advertised as “superior” but they are not! Our sink tap was falling off and our friend’s “limited sea view” only gives them a glimpse of the water if the wind blows some branches to reveal a tiny gap. Will not be returning!

Don't bother...far too big and the dining room is manic...you have to que for food, six of us..we all ended up eating separately. Didn't enjoy the food, all aimed for the German guests Facilities are good, plenty to do with nice pools but children's entertainment starts too late for little ones

On the whole a great hotel. Stunning location, very clean and tidy hotel. Lots of staff keeping busy all day. So many fabulous activities to chose from to fill the days. We took bikes out (this is included in all-inclusive), we went on the inflatable water course (10€ pp cash only) We hired a motorboat to tour the bay (€55 for an hour, take card) You have to pay for sun loungers at the beach (6€ p bed p day and same for a parasol. Take card) We took out paddle boards too, (10€ per board, take card) this was all so much fun. Food was really good but got quite samey as the week went on. Lots of it is cooked fresh in-front of you and replenished all the time. The drinks included are pretty grim, have to pay extra for nice drinks or a decent coffee. The lobby bar does a good coffee and it’s 1.30€, which you can add to your room bill or pay by card. The Olivo restaurant is quite nice but pricey and they charge for the bread and ketchup and every little thing you have. The chilled pool is really nice, great snack bar and a freezer at the back with ice creams that are inclusive. Not all of the hydro features are working which is a shame. It’s worth downloading the Valamar app ahead of your trip as it gives lots helpful advice for using the hotel. There are two little shops on site with a few snacks, drinks and toys etc. Have a good roam around the Mediterranean restaurant as there is a cheese station, olive bar and a few bits dotted around that are different to the main food counters. The rooms are quite basic but have all that you need and they are clean. Defo ask for at least 3 pillows as they disappear once you’ve laid on them. The hotel was fab in making a cake for my husbands birthday along with a bottle of wine and a card. It’s worth getting the water taxi to Novigrad! It’s so pretty. Amaze restaurants and ice cream parlour. Also the best sweet shop!

The staff was excellent at both the restaurant and the Maro kids club The property is very busy and there doesn't seem to be enough seating at any of the three pools.

Bestes Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis bei All-In das ich kenne. Sehr sauber, sehr gutes und reichhaltiges Essen,

Bon hotel. Attention la partie casa agava aurait besoin d une renovation: peinture écaillée, mobilier assez moche, sdb tres petite, literie moyenne. Mais au calme. Restaurant correct mais sur 2 semaines tjr les memes plats...boissons au bar inbuvables. Dommage pour un 4* et pour le prix. Attention tout n est pas inclus ! Tres beau site, piscines tres bien, spa super, tres belle destination à decouvrir. Bonne situation.

Der var langt flere aktiviteter på stedet, end vi havde regnet med, så det var en ret positiv overraskelse. Der er opdeling af pools, så der er tre forskellige pools, det er også super, så alle ikke ligger samlet eet sted. Buffeten var også ret god - efter 10 dages all inclusive nåede vi ikke at blive trætte af maden, da den var rigtig god. Det eneste minus var at stolene på vores terasse var meget ubehagelige at sidde i (de var i metal), og i buffeten kunne man kun få cafe latte til morgenmaden.

Un vero all inclusive. Ottima cucina e personale disponibile. Tante attività per tutte le età.
