The hotel is newly renovated & very modern. We paid extra for one of the partial sea-view rooms with a balcony on 1 of the upper floors & it was definitely worth it. The rooms are spacious & have nice big, modern bathrooms, plus central air conditioning, a safe, a small fridge that actually keeps things cold & and plenty of space to put your clothes, etc. We loved having a balcony on which we could relax & breathe in the sea air. Our room was always cleaned & made up daily like clockwork. The Tirena has outstanding staff. Everyone was very friendly, accommodating & spoke good English. Thanks to the outstanding Jerko at the front desk for all his help, as well as Petar, Sasa, Srdan, Zelyko, Bozena, Ivana & Mariya. Everyone in the dining room was very friendly, especially the awesome Nevena. She always had a big smile for us.
Our room had the half-board package included & this was a definite plus. Although we normally don’t go for “all inclusive” type hotels, the Tirena has a huge spread of breakfast foods, croissants, cereals, made-to-order eggs, coffee, an espresso machine & more for breakfast. The dinner buffet always had a variety of things—from fresh salads to fresh bread, made-to-order pizzas that are some of the best pizzas we’ve ever tasted, plus a selection of chicken, pork, beef, veal & seafood dishes. Great desserts. The hotel has a brand-new pool. We used the excellent pool at the Valamar Lacroma (right next door). You can use pools at any Valamar in the area.
