Pros:

Our flight home from Split was rescheduled for the following day INVOLUNTARILY! A big inconvenience and a day of lost work. However, we were able to schedule at Hotel Riva and check in early! Our first interaction with staff was incredibly professional, understanding and kind. Everyone we encountered could not have been nicer!
Our room was conveniently located on a floor that we did not have to use stairs; it was spotless, very large, comfortable and had an attached outdoor deck with view of the sea. Beautiful hotel, lovely staff, excellent room! Would stay again!

Pros:

Such a lovely quaint little hotel and very conveniently placed for travel to Split Airport and Ferry Port. Yet also just far enough out of the city to be so peaceful and quiet. The area has nice walks and cycle trails, easy access into Split. Options for a sea swim right outside the hotel. Great views from the balcony rooms and a very reasonable price too.

Excellent beachfront location that is peaceful
Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at Riva Hotel in Kaštel, Split. The hotel is in a fantastic beachfront location, offering an excellent sea view straight from the room — perfect for relaxing at any time of the day. Our room was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout, making the experience even smoother. In terms of location, it’s not only right by the beach but also conveniently close to Split Airport and very close to Trogir, which made sightseeing easy. The resort area itself is peaceful and quiet, which was perfect for us as we did not want to stay in the busier Split — where there also seem to be quite a few derelict buildings. An added bonus is the ample-sized free car park, which is especially convenient if you’re travelling by car.

Overall, it offers very good value for money — a comfortable stay with beautiful views, excellent service, and easy access. This is ideal for anyone looking for a low-key holiday with easy access to the beach, Trogir, Split, or the airport. We would definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Good beds and excellent staff. availability of pool towels for the beach was a plus. good self serve breakfast with many options. the only downside was the lack of a view from the outdoor patio of our room which was on the side of the hotel. the booking led us to believe there would be a water view. Parking was also a bit tricky, though typical for Europe.

Pros:

Pros: great breakfast, nice pool (small), easy beach access, many restaurants to choose from, close enough to split, charming towns and coastal walk, friendly staff.

Cons: the room we reserved was no longer available which changed our sleeping accommodations, no safe in the room, no laundry service while we stayed, Ubers to Split run you at least €20, some of the local restraints have sub-par service and don’t seem to like tourists, parts of the area—not along the coast—are still very much up and coming.

Très bon emplacement, accueil très chaleureux.
Propreté à revoir, poussière derrière le lit non aspirée en 2 j. Douche impossible à régler, on passe du brûlant au froid sans prévenir, très désagréable !!
Petit déjeuner excellent.
