Riva Marina - Hvar Hotel

This hotel is in a prime location near the marina, restaurants, bars, and taxi station. We were fortunate to have a room with a balcony overlooking the marina. We enjoyed the view and an opportunity to have a cocktail on the balcony. There is a huge seating area outside for cocktails with lots of shade provided by umbrellas. We took advantage of that in the afternoon before going to dinner.||The staff is exceptional and the management runs a tight ship to ensure premier service to their guests. You can order from the breakfast menu for hot food and there is a large selection of cold foods as well. The coffee and the espressso is hot and strong and will give you the energy to start your day. We found that Sonya and George were the most helpful. They always asked about what we had planned for the day and how our day went upon our return. It was so wonderful. We would stay there again. A 5 star rating is not high enough.

We loved our stay at Riva Marina. The location can’t be beat (1 minute from the ferry) and the service is exceptional. The employees are very friendly and happy to give you advice on what to do and see. The view from the hotel room is stunning and the windows keep all street noise out. Everything you can possibly want is a short walk from the hotel. The breakfast is included and is delicious. The rooms are small but very comfortable and beautifully decorated. While some guests complained about the size of the room, we were able to unpack and store our suitcases to the side, so we had no issues. Be aware that the door to the bathroom is clear glass which doesn’t provide much privacy. This was an issue for us because we were traveling with 2 teenagers of the opposite gender, but we made it work. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel, and it was excellent! The location was perfect, in the centre of everything walkable to all. Our room overlooked the marina, and the view was enjoyable with the many boats and luxury yachts going in and out. The staff were so friendly, kind and accommodating , nothing was to much trouble. The all, inclusive breakfast was great - buffet and order hot food from the menu. I was there for my birthday and was presented with a cake and candle at breakfast. On our last day they gave us fruit and sandwiches for the travel home. We were happy with our stay and accommodation. and we would recommend. We have travelled to many places around the world but have never experienced such a fantastic breakfast has at this hotel.

The attention of all hotel workers was excellent. The breakfast was 10/10 points. A special mention to IRMA who made our stay was splendid. She was so cordial, polite, kind and caring. Thank you all hotel Riva Marina and special greeting to Irma. Taste the Mate!!!

I visited Riva Marina a few days ago with some friends, and we had such a lovely evening. We came for cocktails, and Berna, the bartender, was incredibly kind and helpful. She gave us great recommendations and really knew her craft. Her positive energy made a big difference!Our waiter, Marin, was also very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The service overall was warm and professional. Definitely a place I’d recommend for a relaxed night out with friends. Thanks again, Berna and Marin!

Newly refurbished in Hamptons style. Rooms are really well equipped and showers are wonderful. We had al la carte breakfast included and nothing was too much trouble. Linen was so crisp and the towels were really fluffy. Very comfortable hotel and great location. My only recommendation is for a couple of extra towel hooks in the bathroom.

We had a wonderful holiday in Hvar and your exceptional hotel was the highlight. For location, friendliness and attention to detail I don't think it could be beaten. I was there for my birthday and was presented with cake and candle at breakfast - a complete surprise. Irma and Anna were so pleasant , as we're all the staff - reception, housekeeping and waiters. The breakfast was amazing! Linda and Howard Joy, England

This is like ‘an almost’ Belmond experience- it’s that good. |Superb location, immaculate and well presented property. |Breakfast is very good, managed by the exceptional Irma. A wonderful host, nothing is too much trouble, she completely looks after all of her guests. Food choice is fabulous and you cannot get a better setting. Thank you to Irma for making this our favourite part of our stay. |From the moment we were greeted on the promenade from the boat, by friendly Peter the porter,we had a feeling this experience would be special and it was. |We loved this hotel and its people. ||*Try and get a room on 3rd floor. |Upgrade if availability as standard rooms are tight on space, especially if you’re staying more than a couple of nights (teeny tiny wardrobe)|*There is no pool at all. Be prepared for very limited beach access. (It is possible sometimes for you to use the sister hotel’s pool but it is covered over.
