Valamar Amicor Resort

Dusan led our family through the beautiful sea to a little inlet on kayaks and SUPs. It was a wonderful tour and he even let me switch to use the SUP on the way back. Friendly and the most fun I had at the resort!

Stayed for 4 nights at this resort. Here's what I found.... The rooms are photographed with a camera like estate agents use to give the impression of space, the reality is that the villa's are nowhere near the size that they appear to be online. Rooms are okay, clean and the bed was comfortable, with a very efficient room service. Cardboard coat hangers are provided, but nowhere near enough for more than a couple of outfits. The resort is based on some kind of green objective, which is okay if that is your thing? On site, the entire area is geared for families (and I'm not against that) but there is very little on offer for anyone else on holiday there. The mediteranneo restaurant serves breakfast and evening meal. The breakfast is buffet style, its okay with much on offer. The evening meal however is repetitive, again buffet style, and for me, did not scream of a wow factor. Desert consists of cake, and ....cake ! (I'm not sure if that's a croatian thing ?) and much more variety is needed in this area for certain. A bottle of house wine costs 26 euros, and this is their cheapest offering, in my opinion this is way overpriced for the quality of the product on offer, which did not cause my taste buds to explode! Antony (aka Ante) from the restaurant is a really helpful and radiant guy, and is a real asset to his employer. Staff are mostly all friendly, and cannot do enough for you. There is no on site shop, and I find this very strange for a resort ? Most guests would relish the opportunity to buy gifts and necessary emergency items from an on site shop. I had a room with a jacuzzi, which started making serious noises after the second day, and had to be isolated. To compensate i was offered a 100 euros voucher to spend in the resort, and with an average bottle of non house wine costing around 40 euros, that was not a game changing compensation offer i can assure you, especialy when you consider rooms are costing around the E250/E300 per night mark . The resort offers buggies for less mobile types, which is good, but those, and electric scooters can often be witnessed whizzing around quite fast on site, especially in the evenings. Entertainment consisted of an hour of oom pah pah music with games for children around the pool from 8 until 9pm on selected evenings, again, I don't consider this acceptable for older age groups, there needs to be a proper entertainment programme for all age groups is my feeling here. Resort is spotlessly clean however. Overall from my experience I would give the resort 2 out of 10 points (experience wise) for older guests, with very little else to do but ea and drink, and drinks (namely wine) are at truly shocking prices in house, i know it's a hotel, but come on guys ? 40 euros for a bottle of very mediocre white, is really pushing it i feel. All rooms have a TV, but most channels are not in English. In summary, the resort needs to do much more to cater for different age groups of guests in my opinion, the

Great stay great staff, special mention to so many staff including Yunanta for his great service on our last night here. The facilities and location was excellent and I would recommend that for any young family travelling to Croatia for the first time

Wonderful villa, the jacuzzi was a nice touch and the resort itself is a lovely setting for a peaceful break. Very short walk down to the concrete beach and a nice walk along the waterfront into town. The food at the restaurant was excellent. Would certainly consider staying again.
