The main restaurant is Mediterraneo, offers buffet-style breakfast and dinner showcasing the rich flavours of the Mediterranean. However, the diverse menu also caters to various tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring a family-friendly dining experience, even for the youngest members of the family. There are also plenty of alfresco seating options which are amazing on warm evenings.
Spacious and comfortable family suites, made up of two connecting double rooms ensured everyone enjoyed a peaceful night’s rest after a day brimming with excitement. And thoughtful touches like kids’ shower gel, soap, shampoo, cups, games and colouring sets made the rooms feel like a home away from home.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
We loved the balance of easy beach holiday and urban adventure
If you are looking to get out and about on this Dubrovnik city break, the Valamar Tirena Hotel is a perfect distance from both the beach and the historic centre.
A short walk through the grounds will lead you down to the main beach which is quite busy. However, stroll a little further along the coast and you’ll come to a quiet pebble beach with plenty of shade for kids and an extremely cute boho seafood restaurant. They do charge for sun loungers here, but we were fully prepared with our towels and spent a brilliant afternoon looking for crabs.

A five min drive in the opposite direction brings you to Dubrovnik Old Town, the world famous heart of the city, where you can walk round the historic walls, explore charming streets and count the Game of Thrones’ landmarks: Dubrovnik doubled for King’s Landing in the HBO show.
Overall, Valamar Tirena Hotel stands makes a great base for families who like the idea of dipping in and out of a Dubrovnik city break, as well as making the most of the Croatian beach weather and having entertainment on tap thanks to family pools and the all-round endless entertainment of Maro World. We made some wonderful memories and will certainly be going back to make more very soon.
