★★★★★ An extraordinary experience at Hotel Plaza! The rooms were clean, providing comfort throughout our stay. The hotel staff was extremely kind and always ready to help, making our stay truly enjoyable. The hotel's beach was clean and well-maintained, perfect for relaxation and sunbathing. The hotel restaurant was a real culinary delight. The food was delicious, with a variety of options that satisfied all tastes. The restaurant staff was particularly attentive and friendly, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere during meals.

It's staff members like you who make guests feel truly cared for and valued. Thank you again for going above and beyond.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning coastal hotel and I can’t recommend it enough. The gastronomic experience was absolutely unforgettable – each meal was a true delight. The restaurant offers a range of dishes that are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Every bite felt like a culinary journey, making the dining here an experience in itself. In addition to the incredible food, the wellness center was another highlight of my stay. The spa facilities were exceptional, creating a tranquil and soothing atmosphere that made it easy to relax and unwind. The massage services were particularly outstanding, with highly skilled therapists ensuring I felt completely rejuvenated. If you’re looking for a getaway that combines a prime beach location, exquisite dining, and luxurious wellness, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

    Hotel has only official stars but the treatment I got It felt like a five star hotel. I reserved this hotel to stay for my last night after krk camino trail.Location is perfect,5 minutes walk to Krk old town.They were so kind and nice that they let me park my car there for free-cant thank them enough for that knowing your car is safe.Room was clean,bed was super comfortable and having room with sea view from 5 floor that is just priceless.To fall asleep hearing sea waves it doesn't get better than this.I opted for dinner and breakfast and I must say it was one of my most choices as they provide really good meals,and at dinner you can drink self serving drinks including wine.If I could change something I would book them for one more night,the night before my camino hike as it is easier to start if you have full stomach and good night rest.Thank you again for your hospitality and I will visit you again.

    Overall - we had an awesome vacation in this hause! We were there as a family of two adults and three kids, and the place could easily accomodate even more people. The location is right by the cozy fishermen‘s haven, a treat to look upon from the house‘s balcony or the terrase. Going to the beach is a ~5 min walk along the water (entry free of charge, and having the necessary facilities as well as a nice bar). The water in this „fjord“ is warmer and saltier than in the open sea - which actually makes swimming more pleasant. The hause has air condition (except one bedroom) and absolutely everything that a family needs during 1-2 vacation weeks. The hosts, Bogdan and Milena, are VERY hospitable, helpful and friendly people. We are looking forward to come back the next time!

    Our general impression was that Rijeka is not ready to be considered a tourist destination - finding parking was difficult, which shouldn't be the case for a 300k population city, there are few things to actually see around town, the beaches were meh, and so on. I'm not returning. Rijeka is beautiful, but nothing too special.

    I couldn’t find much information on Opatija before visiting.

    I couldn’t find much information on Opatija before visiting. As we arrived, driving the stunning coastal road from Pula, we could see that this is a beautiful stretch of coast. Hotel Milenij, where we stayed. Is located in the old part of Opatija, right by the sea; and there is quite a lot of public beach (concrete bathing areas, but great for swimming) and it is nice that everyone can use this and there is no charge. The view from Opatija is out to islands and around the curve of the bay, with mountains in the background - it is very pretty. In Opatija (around the old town, anyway), people dress up in the evening and there is a great buzz on summer evenings. There are plenty of good restaurants, some right by the sea. We didn’t get to do a boat trip to the nearby islands, but I would have liked to. There are lots of boat trips available and you can book them at the sea front. It looks like Opatija now stretches much further along the coast - this is great in that there is a 12km long lungomare for seaside walks. However, I am glad we stayed in the old part of Opatija to enjoy the town and its buzz as well as a very nice hotel with a pool and access to the sea.

    Novalja peaks during summer for the festival season, with Zrce Beach nearby. However, it's a cute small town with its own little charm, I would definitely come at a less busy time (that being said, even during festival season it didn't feel crowded at all), and do some driving to nearby spots on the island. Driving is definitely preferred in Croatia in general (just be aware of limited parking and teeny two way streets), but you can arrive by bus to Novalja too.

    Crikvenica is the biggest beach resort town in the Kvarner...

    Crikvenica is the biggest beach resort town in the Kvarner region, with a choice of pebble, sandy or concrete beaches. There are a lot of facilities along the beaches - bars, restaurants, child amusement etc. There is also a problem - the city is overcrowded in the summer. A dense traffic, lack of space on the beaches, lack of parking spaces. This is the closest coastal city to Zagreb and many other cities in the northern Croatia, so there are obviously a lot of one day visitors.

    Malinska presents a different atmosphere compared to other cities like Zadar, Pula, or Rovinj. It feels very human-sized and pleasant, not crowded at all. It's worth noting that most beaches are urban and have concrete surfaces, with few offering a gradual entry into the water. However, the rocky, cove beaches are beautiful and practical.

    Very pretty historic town with shingle beaches nearby.

    Very pretty historic town with shingle beaches nearby. Quite touristy but still has a lot of charm. The castle and the cathedral are both worth visiting. The restaurants are decent and we had polite, friendly and efficient service at every one we went too.

    Stone beach with calm, crystal and warm water.

    Stone beach with calm, crystal and warm water. Very good for children. It was really crowded at the end of August, so I advise to arrive early in the beach otherwise you won't find a spot. There is no sunshade or chairs available to rent. The restaurants only offer local warm beers. Horrible! Local wines are very good.

    Stayed in the old town which is a gem of a place, on a peninsula with lovely winding alleyways and churches. So well maintained and clean. No litter or graffiti and everything picture perfect! And there were good places to swim on small beaches below the bell towers. There was also a large sandy bay about 10 mins walk outside the old town near the Valamar hotel. We ate at the beachside bar on the seaside promenade in the old town ( at the bottom of the cliff), they did great veggie food and other options. We also loved the vegan restaurant on the main alley in the old town. We would love to return.

    Vir is quite tourist-centric, which has its advantages and, unfortunately, its disadvantages. The island itself is beautiful, I like the hustle and bustle (although we were in Lozice, a little further north, in a quieter part) and there are quite a few restaurants to choose from. However, the shops in the area are like the domestic (Hungarian) department stores at Christmas, no matter what time of year we went shopping: full, the lines barricaded, a minimum of 10-15 minutes waiting at the cashiers. The beaches are nice, the ones we went to were clean, although unfortunately I saw quite a few people littering... There is also the possibility of a short excursion around the red rocks on the far side of the island, the view from there is amazing. The locals were nice, but the car traffic is quite chaotic - narrow streets, everyone is in a hurry, not many people know the stop sign, etc.

    Beautiful and historic seaside town with amazing scenery around it. We were there off season but it was sleepy without much to do. We visited the Nehaj Fortress which includes a museum and rooftop views of the sea and town. The beaches in the area are typically small and rocky. We stayed mostly to go to Plitvice National Park which is over an hour drive away from the town.
