Excellent beachfront location that is peaceful

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.

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: 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.

Mary is very nice when I checked in the hotel. She also so nice when I made a request for hot chocolate late night when I came from a whole day tour. I stayed there for 8 nights but the cleaning ladies only changed my bedsheets twice and they did not put toilet papers so I have to ask when I came late night after my whole day tour.
