Hotel Tamaris

The staff were very kind, the location is excellent, and the room was spacious and clean – that’s where the positives end. There are only 30 free sunbeds for around 180 rooms, and guests are told to be at the beach before 7 AM to get one. You even have to carry your own sunbed and umbrella to and from the beach – completely unacceptable for a hotel in this price range (€230–€300/night). Beach towels are replaced every third day, apparently to save costs. For a 4-star hotel, this level of service is far below expectations. Sadly, I wouldn’t go back. Not worth the price.

Everything was perfect. Very generous breakfast buffet, plus we also had absolutely delicious lunches and one dinner in the hotel. Think the restaurant is possible one of the best in Tucepi. The beach was just across a paved promenade from the hotel.We hired beds and umbrellas on the beach as were not going to be up at 7 to borrow from the hotel, but obviously you could if you wanted. The main part of Tucepi was about a 10 minute stroll along the promenade. Surprisingly quiet with quite a few restaurants still not open but guess quite early in their season. Lovely big, clean room with a good size balcony. Best bit of this hotel is the staff. They are all truly exceptional. They went out of their way to look after us beautifully and were so friendly and welcoming. This really is a wonderful place to stay, and I definitely hope to return one day.

Great to get our own space in largw apartment.

What a lovely hotel! We felt incredibly well looked after during our stay. The hotel and rooms are exceptionally clean. Staff are wonderful, especially Silva. We all enjoyed breakfast - plenty of variety. The children especially loved the fresh fruit, and the pancakes. Eggs/omelette available to order. Not forgetting the donuts too! Very pleasantly surprised to find oat milk available at breakfast which is my preference. The hotel itself is seconds from the beach which was perfect (beach shoes a must). The hotel does have a number of sun loungers and umbrellas to sign out in the morning (for free) if you don't mind getting up early to sort yourself. The pool is small but was perfect for the children - in the afternoon it is shady which was a real bonus. Definitely bring a snorkel if you have one - there are so many fish and starfish to enjoy in the sea! We didn't eat in the restaurant during our stay but it was always busy, and definitely looked the sort of place for a nice upmarket meal. For a couple of nights during our stay there was live music - we really enjoyed being able to listen from our balcony. We cooked a couple of meals in our apartment, the electric hob was great for rustling up a quick pasta dish. Having a fridge freezer was a real winner. The hotel offers the option of ordering shopping to your room (via their app) or there is a small supermarket approx 10 minutes walk away. The hotel does offer transfers but due to there being five of us, we had to arrange these separately. Our separately booked transfer with Denis (and his father) was very comfortable - I'm not allowed to name the company on here but very happy to be messaged for it. We would highly recommend. Outside of the hotel is a beautiful, tiny and very old chapel (1300s). With more time we would have loved to have done more sightseeing. Overall very pleased with this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to go back. Thank you for having us!
