Fodor's Expert Review Valamar Diamant Hotel & Residence
Brulo 1, Poreč, Istarska, 52440, Croatia
Located a mile south of Old Town Poreč in the Brulo neighborhood, this large, fully renovated hotel is surrounded by pine forest but still close to the sea and a favorite for travelers looking for an activity-rich vacation. Modern styling and a new emphasis on sports and wellness have given this local favorite a new life, including the introduction of their Balance Mediterranean Spa by Valamar and professional physiotherapy treatments. Great sports facilities—tennis courts; covered multipurpose sports hall for basketball, handball, fitness gym, or mini-soccer; diving center; bike rental, indoor and outdoor pools, and beach volleyball courts—make the hotel an ideal choice for travelers in search of active holidays. Additionally, the hotel has added their signature Maro family services and facilities, including new playrooms, cinema, multimedia game lounge, and soft play room.
