Riva Hotel

"We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Riva in Petrovac. The hotel is beautiful, and the cleanliness is absolutely spotless. All the staff were kind, helpful, and always made us feel welcome. The food was excellent and of very high quality. We tried many different dishes, and even though Petrovac offers plenty of restaurants, we always came back for dinner at the hotel – it was simply that good (hotel guests also receive 10% off meals). Breakfast had everything you could wish for, including freshly made omelets prepared to your liking. Sunbeds on the beach need to be reserved a day in advance, with a cost of €15 (50% off for hotel guests). They are kept reserved until noon, which is very convenient. The only downside is that the beach itself can get very crowded – for this reason, September is probably the best time to visit Petrovac. This is truly a boutique hotel where you feel like a valued guest and not just a number. The owner, Peter, often came to chat with us, which made us feel appreciated. On the beach, we enjoyed fruit and drinks several times, with attentive service from the staff. If you are planning a visit to Petrovac, I highly recommend staying at Hotel Riva – it made our holiday truly memorable."

"Our experience with this hotel was perfect, very comfortable and big beach chairs litteraly two steps from the watter, distance from other people. Even if in the busyest period somehow you don’t feel there is to meny people if you stay at hotel beach. Next to us was public beach, lots of people, I realy don’t recomend you experience that. So I would say deffinitely take the hotel beach chairs. Watter was very fresh and clean, perfect for a nice swim, great view, staff of hotel very nice and helpful with everything you needed. Rooms are new and with plenty of space, bed comfortable. We ate quite some times at hotel, good food, restaurant is next to the beach, wonderful views. There is promenade next to hotel for coisy strolling in the evening, plenty of ice cream places, restaurants, cocktails, live romantic music. So you actualy don’t need to drive nowhere else, and can just enyoj this little beautiful city. When we arrived to hotel with car we rented at aeroport in Tivat we discovered one of the tyers went flat. Even if car had full coverage of insurance, seems wheels are not included. What is possibility that happens few hours after you get the car? We drove the car litteraly 45 min. Staff of hotel arranged all, mechanic came and fixed a problem almoust immediately, with correct price, so we didn’t need to struggle with that during our vacations. Could be a nightmare. We are so grateful for that."

"We visited here for lunch whilst visiting Petrovac following reviews on a Gluten Free app. We weren’t impressed unfortunately. We were handed a normal menu, to which at the end of the pasta section it says GF pasta options can be provided for an extra €3. Looked at the pizza section, nothing mentioned about GF pizza, but at the very end of the menu it says “ask waiter for GF menu”, so we did, to which he said, GF pizza is available for €5 more (no separate menu). My husband (celiac) was ready to leave out of principle but we stayed and ordered a GF pizza. It was okay, nothing to rave home about. Staff weren’t the friendliest, which is a shame considering its nice location. We wouldn’t return."
