Wow did this place blow our expectations out of the water in such a great way! Wow wow wow!! We missed breakfast to catch a ferry to Venice and they pre packed a breakfast for us! They went above and beyond even when we didn’t ask. Super clean. Nice heat lamps in the bathroom and all the little extras to make you feel like you are being spoiled. 10 out of 10!!!

Excellent accomodation!
We were very impressed wirh our Junior suite. Excellent views, great air conditioning, clean linen and bathroom - very comfortable stay. The additional perks of free happy hour, breakfast and brunch is real value for money. Front desk assistance very helpful! I highly recommend this accomodation!

Superb
Fantastic location on the harbour front and near to shops, restaurants and tour boats. Shuttle bus from the off-site parking to the hotel was extremely smooth (only a couple of minutes for the journey and shuttle works on demand). Toiletries include moisturiser which is always helpful. Breakfast is out of this world - befitting of a UK 5-star hotel; oysters and champagne were among the choices one morning. Loved the free brunch with prosecco! Can't recommend this hotel enough.

Great service, friendly staff
The room was in an adjacent building they converted as part of the hotel. The room and the bathroom were clean and modern. However, if you’re in this building there’s no elevator. The main hotel next door has a restaurant with the complimentary breakfast with a lot of variety and includes an omelette counter. There’s also a dinner buffet at 70kn pp. On the flip side their parking situation isn’t ideal and it’s not explained clearly. If you drive to the hotel you’ll not be able to park. There’s a separate parking lot a mile away from where you’ll have to take a shuttle to the property

We stayed in the annex. Room was huge with great bed and view. Use of the Valamar facilities on the island was great. However the annex is next door to an outdoor club that played loud music until late at night. Our room overlooked the club and sleeping with the loud music was impossible. We also were not told that we could not get to the property by car. The road is restricted. We had to park about a mile from the hotel and take a shuttle bus. There was NO information on Expedia explaining this. We had to struggle to figure it out on our own. It was very frustrating in a foreign country.

All staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, a huge choice and although a buffet style, elements of the meal were cooked fresh in front of us. Perfect location overlooking the sea and just minutes away from boat trips or the town.

It was a nice surprise that we had access to the sister resort on an island a quick and free boat ride away. They have restaurants, a sand beach pool and rocky beaches. The room was very, very large and the breakfast had lots of variety and ok quality. Would recommend a stay there if you are looking to go to the pool and beach.

Great if you are catching the ferry from Venice, as we were, fall of the ferry & cross the road. Highly recommend.

Excellent accommodations + private island access!
the location is outstanding, and the one bedroom suite was clean and comfortable with a fabulous view from the balcony! we stayed in charming Porec for a day/night prior to taking the ferry to Venice. upon arriving at the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to receive vouchers for a quick boat ride to the nearby private island as well as vouchers for towels at the private swimming areas - such a treat! also, the breakfast buffet in the morning was one of the best we have experienced! would definitely recommend staying at this property!!

location is great, next to the old city and port. Lots to do around. The reception clerk tried to give us an inferior room, stating none available. When we confronted her, she "suddenly" had a better room. Not cool Breakfast was good

Exceeded expectations!
We chose the Riviera Hotel for a single night on our way out of Istria to Venice. We didn't know what to expect of Porec or of the hotel entirely, and we were very pleasantly surprised on both accounts! Check in was a breeze and they were even able to accommodate our early check in (which we did NOT expect) which made it even better. The room exceeded expectations in every way - it was incredibly spacious with great amenities and amazing corner room view of the sea. Location is spot on - you can easily walk around the water front, and have a number of excellent restaurants within a minute's walk. The old town is nearby and is incredibly charming. We liked it just as much as Rovinj (if not more in some ways!), and found many great places for a drink and a bite (don't miss Bacchus for wine). All around, exceptional stay and friendly, efficient service - we just wish we'd stayed longer!

Lovely hotel, excellent value great location
Booked 2 nights originally but added a third. The hotel is on the peninsula of the old town. Staff are friendly and helpful. Was my partners Birthday during our stay hotel staff noticed this and sent a complementary fruit plate to room. Sister hotel is on an island 1km out in the bay free ferry shuttle to this island which is beautiful and plenty of quiet area to enjoy the sun, swim and also good restaurant facility. Only down side was pillows were very very soft which I find uncomfortable but that's just a personal choice, bed extremely comfortable.
