Super Service, sehr sauber, gutes Essen, alles bestens, gerne wieder

Hotel del gruppo Valamar , servizi top

5 night stay in August - 2 adults and 2 children. Second Valamar holiday, stayed in Club Sunny Dubrovnik last year where we had a better experience. Negatives of stay: Smoking everywhere, all around the pools making it smelly and dirty wafts inside areas from main doors. Made us want to be away from hotel. This is a cultural issue that can’t be resolved and doesn’t require comment from the hotel. TERRIBLE standard of alcoholic drinks Freezing pool - the weather was around 25 degrees and there had been rain before we arrived. Stayed from 21-26 August. My 6 and 2 year old could only spend a minimum amount of time in the pool before they were shivering and blue, affected our ‘pool’ family holiday. Family room was small and basic 2 star UK equivalent Air conditioning wasn’t working for the whole hotel throughout our stay, combined with the hard single beds pushed together none of us had any restful comfortable sleep Main buffet area can get overcrowded which can be difficult with very young children Usual early morning sun lounger poachers which we don’t get involved in but means no loungers or umbrellas to shelter the children Unfortunately nowhere near 4 stars, disappointing would not return Istria is a beautiful area like much of Croatia Positives Free Bike hire for all inclusive guests, 2 yr old loved having her own balance bike. Buffet food available throughout day easy to feed children and enjoyed sampling some Istrian dishes Child friendly - easy to keep children entertained Soft play areas, one in lounge but again smells of smoke and not much of a benefit when the drinks are awful Cleaning and restaurant staff work REALLY hard with little thanks from guests Tips: Water shoes for pebble beach are a must The clear oval jellyfish do not sting Taxi to Porec easily arranged with hotel and then return with the taxi driver.

The whole team at Maro club made our stay with kids amazing. Special thanks to Dora, Aleksandar, Mihaela, Tereza, Borna and Stella.

We had a great time at Valamar Club Tamaris! The Maro Club was the highlight for our kids – fun, safe, and full of great activities. Huge thanks to Stella, Antonio, and Nives for their warmth and energy. They made our children feel so welcome and created a fantastic atmosphere across language barriers. The hotel staff were friendly, the food was nice, and the location is beautiful. Highly recommended for families!

Nice resort in Istria for a short family stay with the kids.
