We didn't stay here, but used it repeatedly for lunch during our holiday. Very quickly the staff started to recognise us, and made us feel very welcome. They took pride in remembering what we liked to drink each day. By the end of our stay, we were welcomed like old friends; their friendliness really encouraged us to keep going there.... More

We just stayed there for 4 days in mid-October. Tamarin is an excellent spot to stay if you really want a quiet corner of the island. Its primarily an affluent upper-middle class residential area, and there are no neighbouring hotels, so you probably will not see a lot of tourists walking around. This "local" atmosphere also means that you won't... More

I stayed here for work - for two weeks. It's three star and reasonably priced. It's on the beach - a public beach (which gives it more life than beached Europeans on the 5 star beaches from which locals are excluded) - with a great walk around the headland to flic-en-flac. Food is perfectly fine; after two weeks the repeats... More

I stayed at the Tamarin hotel in September 2009 for my what I wanted to be my retirement holiday! I went with Saga. They do not seem to use this hotel now and I know why! There are birds on the tables at breakfast eating the food. You get pestered by them all the time while sitting by the pool.... More

The Hotel Tamarin is strategically placed at the Tamrarin beach at the mouth of backwaters and being the only hotel in the near vicinity, it presents a great option to stay. However, surprisingly, despite the Tamarin beach being known for surfing, the hotel itself did not attract too much of the younger crowd, who preferred to stay elsewhere. It was,... More
