Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort And Spa

The property itself appears to be brand new and well maintained. We booked an “Executive room with sea view”, which was the only one left available and that fact should have raised our suspicion. What we’ve got was a two room, two bath apartment with no balcony whatsoever and sea view for anyone taller than 1,8m. For anyone less than that, the chair beneath the window became a totally new meaning. Two double-beds were prepared although they knew we’re a party of two. In no way that room deserves its designation and we made that clear to the reception. They promised to get in contact whenever an alternative shows up – we never hear anything back from them within the six-nights stay. But to remain fair, the gap in our expectations were the only oddity with the room – clean, functional and nice beds. The same can be said about the entire property – great spa and fitness, nice beach facilities und diverse restaurants. Mostly friendly staff but the service is far below what you’d expect from a Hilton and by the money spent. A little drizzle and the entire outdoor pool area has been closed and the staff ambitiously tried to scare the people away from the beach in order to close that too – what they finally did. Ordering something at beach restaurant is an interesting endeavor too: you handed over a couple of times until someone finally had enough compassion to hear your wishes only to get a lesson in what is considered food you allowed to order – for ice cream a coffee you’re thrown out. All-in-all we had some relaxing days here. Read carefully what you’re buying and assume nothing because of the brand and the money you spend. As first impression counts, we certainly not coming back and you may also raise the question if it’s worth the money. But you may also catch a lucky hunch and depending on what you’re used to, may experience your greatest stay ever – we just felt being pulled over the barrel by a questionable description of the room.

Very nice service, beautiful view, beach, pool, bars and many other interesting things to relax in 👍

The view is spectacular, the rooms are comfortable, the breakfast is great.

We had one of the villa units. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the unit was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable, with comfortable beds, and spacious clean bathrooms. A view over the bay was a bonus, enjoyed also from our private balcony. Access to the pebble beach was very easy, and the water was clean and remarkably clear, so that snorkelling among the fish was rewarding. Conditions for SUPboarding and swimming were excellent, and we also took the opportunity to enjoy a JetSki experience. A pleasant infinity pool is also available, as well as an indoor pool. Breakfast was delicious and the food plentiful. We will certainly return!

We stayed at the Hilton Rijeka and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the rooms are – more like full apartments, which they call villas. The design is very modern, the bed is comfortable, and the air conditioning works perfectly (a real plus in Croatia, where that’s not always the case). The views are stunning, and the spa and sauna facilities are excellent. Breakfast is a highlight, with a generous buffet offering plenty of choice. You can even park your car right next to your villa, which is incredibly convenient. We also enjoyed the on-site pizza restaurant. The beach is a stone beach but still very nice, with clear water. Overall, a modern, comfortable, and well-thought-out stay with great amenities.
