Valamar Tamaris Resort

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 hotel is great!Close to Poreč, and Istralandia, but still remote, hidden, with beautiful small beach, excellent entertainment and great food!!! I needed two days to get used to climbing uphill to the main building but it was really ok. The distance was really short! The hotel has unique charm and it is real treasure!

Perfect quiet spot for famillies settled in the mediterian greenery with great food and the best Maro Club ever. Our kids love their program and spend the time playing games rather than be with us, especcially with Gabrijel. Thank you guys so much for doing such an incredible job! See you soon.

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.
