We just returned from a six night stay at Valamar Club Tamaris in Porec, Croatia, and I would highly recommend it. We were able to get two double rooms at a very affordable price. (If you need two rooms, book them as an adult and child staying in each room. For some reason, that reduced the price.) The highlights of... more

I stayed last year and decided to return with the family (including 3 boys under the age of 10). Overall experience once again excellent. Summary points: Resort > When driving up and seeing all the cars, you fear for a over-run, crowded place. However, it's well laid out with sufficient sunbeds across the site (pools and beach). Well maintained and... more

I have stayed in numerous 5* hotels across the family-destination world and the Valamar compares favourably to them all. Good sports facilities for adults and kids alike, be it the tennis lessons for me or the water slide for the kids. Clean, spacious rooms. Healthy, varied buffet food (a rare feat in itself). Polite, efficient staff. Imaginative and welcoming kids... more

We are a British family and we stopped there for 2 weeks from 22nd July to the 5th August. I booked it direct with the hotel after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and flew low cost airline to get there. I am amazed that its not in any UK travel companies brochures as after looking at the other hotels in... more

Booked 3 days at this hotel. great location above tree lined beach. beach itself not that great, but quite quiet. 2 very large pools - avoid the lower one in the morning if you want peace and quiet, due to the water aeerobics being blasted out of the tannoy. Rooms are spacious and well soundproofed to the level you'd expect... more

Our stay at Valamar Tamaris was everything prior reviews had us expecting (fun for kids, pretty, good food), save one surprise which slightly soured our experience. We found the front desk service to be unhelpful and at times almost rude, with an all-too-frequent "no" in response to basic requests for things like help booking horseback riding and borrowing a plug... more

I would have to agree with the other reviews - we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel (and we are very picky). Comfortable, clean, many options (bikes, kayaks, fitness club), well above-average food, and so on. I would only caution that the hotel is not exclusive - it was quite crowded during our stay but unlike... more

I agree with everything others have written, all true, no point in saying it all again. Travelled 10th September and weather was perfect. Food, staff, rooms, facilities (including free cycles, aqua aerobics, tai chi and more), all spot on. One or two minor problems solved very quickly. Full board very good value. Great to have beach towels provided, and could... more

We had a wonderful holiday at Valamar Club Tamaris - we arrived after the restaurant was closed (21.45), and were given a salad, drinks and fruit. The hotel and grounds were kept spotlessly clean at all times - food was excellent, staff were lovely and helpful - most speak english. We have 3 young children aged 2, 4 & 7... more
