Отдых с ребенком Vacation with a child

We rested at the end of June 2008 with the whole family (husband, wife, child 5 years old) in Dubrovnik - the Valamar Club Dubrovnik 3 * hotel on an all-inclusive basis. We really enjoyed our holiday in Croatia. The climate is good, the weather was hot (+32), though we would say the sea is cool (somewhere +22). The pool water is very warm, especially in the afternoon. The pool is large, with a section for children, but we didn’t see how and when it was cleaned, so at the very beginning of our arrival it was clean, after a week there was sand and pebbles everywhere (but in principle it doesn’t give the impression of a dirty pool) . The hotel area is not very big, but cozy, very green, a lot of beautiful bushes. There is a playground where we were 2 times (it consists of slides, swings, roundabouts, there is a sandbox, but there is no sand in it). There is a mini club, we were not there, it worked from 15.00 to 18.00. In the evening it is pleasantly cool and the air becomes saturated with the sea and vegetation. The sea is a large bay, very clean, the same can be said about the beach, which consists of medium and small pebbles (sometimes there is a sharp one). Everything on the beach is paid, the slide was dismantled this year, they will probably do something new. Now about the hotel - We lived on the second floor without a balcony overlooking the garden, even the sea was a little visible, the rooms are not very large, but everything is pretty decent, they always cleaned, changed linen and towels. The room had a TV with the program RTR-Planet (program so-so), hair dryer, safe. We liked the room very much. The food is generally great. Very suitable for different categories of food. Everything is very tasty, feeding a child is not a problem. There is even a broth in which you can put something, but it is a little greasy (if it is important to someone). We have not been to the hotel bars, we cannot say anything about them. At the reception they speak English, they treat you carefully, all problems are solved quickly. The same is true in the restaurant. Now about the entertainment: Animation in the morning - sports aerobics, in the evening a children's disco (which we did not have time to. Beginning at 20.30), and a show program. Evening entertainment program was mediocre. Sometimes artists performed, such as a musical concert. There was a small disco at the end. In general, we would say the hotel is not for young people (there are more families with children). We personally really, really liked it there. In the country, the cities are small, the streets are narrow, everywhere is clean. The town of Dubrovnik itself is very beautiful and cozy. The climate is mild, perfect for families with children. No adoption.
We would like to visit Croatia again.
