Valamar Riviera Hotel & Residence

Be careful when booking in 2026!!! In 2025, Riviera hotel offered breakfast, brunch and snack included in the price. In 2026, based on the information on their web site, only breakfast is included in the price, therefore, no more brunch or snack. And the best part is that all of this comes with higher price then in 2025. When will this stop? Every year prices are higher, but quality is dropping. I would expect at least same quality if prices are increased, but year after year, quality is dropping. Now, when I think about it, quality of food in 2025 was way lower then in 2024. So I can only imagine what will happen in 2027. Probably not even the breakfast, but higher prices. I enjoyed spending time in this hotel, but unfortunately, not anymore.

We stayed in Villa Ulixes which is a new annex of the hotel about 200 m away from the hotel and opened just some time ago. Hotel Riviera is a bit older,so I can recommend to choose Villa Ulixes. Rooms are nice, new, fresh,spacious. Our windows faced main crowdy street,but due to the good isolation it was ok. Breakfast are good,nice choice and brunch aswell. Very tasty. Coffee for breakfast is prepared by barista,no machines👍 transport from and to parking by hotel's taxi for free. Boat to island also for free. Hotel has also a small gym on the highest floor,not very good equiped,but ok. Staff nice,especially ladies preparing food in the restaurant. This Valamar hotel has the best pancakes we ever had in Valamar hotels around Croatia ( soft,tasty. The chef should share the recipe with other Valamar hotels). The only thing which could work better is table service during breakfast, the waiters are going around,but not taking dirty dishes from table,you must ask them sometimes.

Super friendly stuff. Great location! Breakfast is great. I’m hard to please when it comes to espresso…they make a great one. When you stay in this hotel, you can go to the island to swim/beach day…fantastic setup. I prefer to stay in the city…and during the day to go at the beach. Location is perfect. Hotel is right on the waterfront…we loved it. We’ll be back.

We had a lovely weekend stay. Breakfast had a great selection and was tasty. Service from the breakfast staff was a little odd and distant at times but not rude or anything. Just odd. Once we had been down a few times coffees where offered promptly! Brunch was also included which was great for us. Room was great size - bed super comfy pillows very small! But more in the wardrobe! Bathroom clean and shower over bath. All worked well and clean. Lovely split balcony onto the harbour. Staff were super helpful and being able to use another hotels pool was a great idea and relaxing. Super place recommend a stay here.

Great check in experience, location, and service! The breakfast and brunch buffets are plentiful and delicious. The view from the waterfront room in the new Villa Ulixes is amazing, although the room is a little smaller than expected. If you stay in the Ulixes you do have to walk to the other hotel for breakfast, but it’s not too far and they shuttle you and your luggage upon checkin.

Valamar offers excellent service all around – from the food to the rooms and the front desk. We had a boat included that took us to the island just across the water, along with both breakfast and brunch. We also had an issue with our room key cards, and the staff solved it quickly and without any hassle. A truly great experience!

One of the best hotels I've been to! Great breakfast and buffet! I had the best time with my friends here. Would recommend everything!

Restaurant staff, food quality and variety all excellent. Location of hotel is good with restaurants nearby. We had a room with a balcony and sea view which was good. We had paid for a superior room with seaview. The room (106) was very small and certainly smaller than most standard rooms I have stayed in UK and Europe.
