I can't express enough how wonderful my experience was! The view from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking, offering stunning vistas that you won't easily forget. The location is perfect, with easy access to everything you need, from shops and restaurants to the beautiful beach. What really made our stay exceptional was the incredible hospitality of Peter and his wife. They took special care of every guest, ensuring that everyone was happy and comfortable. They are, without a doubt, one of the the best managers I have ever encountered. Peter and his wife checked on us daily, always asking how we were and offering excellent advice about the area. I highly recommend listening to Peter's recommendations – they truly enhanced our visit. If you're looking for a memorable and delightful stay in Petrovac, this hotel is the perfect choice!

Honestly, the only thing I disliked about this hotel is that I couldn't stay forever! If I could, I’d move in permanently and make Peter and his wife my neighbors!

Our stay at Hotel Riva was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, it felt like a dream. It is a rare occasion that the owners of the hotel. of this size, are present and attending to the needs of their guests. That customer service approach flowed through all their staff, they were always looking out for ensuring that our stay was as comfortable as possible. The location is second to none, only meters from the beach. The hotel has its own private beach section with lounge chairs available for guests, drinks and food are provided so you can spend all your day under the sun. The room was fantastic, clean and serviced every day with everything there that we needed. Reception was always at hand to help us with our day trips, car rental that arrived and was picked up from the hotel, booking tours, whatever it was they were always happy to take that burden from us and organise our activities. The town of Petrovac na Moru is great for families. We found that it suited our needs perfectly. No nighttime music, dance clubs and so on. All of that is in Budva if that is the adventure you seek. Plenty of places to eat, drink and the hotel food was great. Breakfast buffet is plentiful with options to start the day, lunch and dinner were there if needed. It was truly hard to leave this place because our experience was beyond expectations. We are determined to come back again, everyone truly deserves to experience what Hotel Riva offered my family.

Truly nothing comes to mind at all.

Had a good feeling about Riva Hotel ever since I made the reservation and my 6th sense proved to be right. On arrival we found a beautiful small hotel (under 40 rooms), that looks like it was just opened (but actually is running since 2016). Interior design of common spaces and rooms is a result of good taste, high quality materials and accessories and attention to details. The same details in how guests are treated, make the difference between a nice and a great hotel. We appreciated the constant smiles on the faces of any hotel team member, be it at 7 AM or 11PM at the reception desk, in the restaurant/terrace or on the private beach. Congratulations to Natasha and Petar for their remarkable work in leading the team (apologies for not knowing all the names, they deserve each a special mention). Rooms have windows towards the mountains or the sea. We had a large mountain view room, clean and offering the necessary comfort. Beds were exactly as firm as we needed and pillows were for all tastes (soft or not). Towels were changed almost daily and bedsheets after 3-4 days. Another special mention to the team in the kitchen, that spoiled us with varied meals starting with breakfast, when they offered new surprises almost on a daily basis, and finishing with dinner. It is comforting to see that local fresh and very tasty produce is transformed in such appetizing dishes. This was the reason why we had all meals at the hotel almost during the entire 11 days stay. We found another home-away-from-home and intend to return soon. Highly recommend a visit!

The only thing that could run better is WI-FI. I am not sure whether this is a problem of hard ware or lies with the provider, but it could work better. On the pother hand, during vacation maybe one could disconnect more. For us this was no significant problem.

Hotel is located in a very cozy/small city near the beach. Rooms are modern and well isolated from noise. Staff is really nice and friendly, very supportive! Breakfasts are really nice and tasty!

You need to pay extra for beach cot and make a reservation for them. We informed staff during check-in about early check-out and asked for lunch boxes. Also, reminded one day prior. Everyone forgot about us at all, we were waiting for a personal to make a check-out and did not get any lunch boxes at all. Food in the restaurant might be improved, portion, texture and taste.

The Riva hotel is on the first line of the beachfront with access to the best of Petrovac's swimming area.. The restaurant seating is between the promenade and the beach so guests are having their meals with an unobstructed view of the sea. The dining experience was first class, with excellent wait staff, outstanding meal selections and quality. When we return to Montenegro next year the Riva will be at the top of our list.

Automobile access to the hotel was blocked by vehicles parked in front of adjacent hotels. Petrovac seems to be an overly dense collection of hotels with inadequate parking, even in the off-season.

Our stay at Hotel Riva was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and friendly host who ensured that every aspect of our stay were impeccable. The service provided by the staff was exceptional. They were attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Whether it was arranging transportation or providing recommendations for local attractions, they were always there to assist with a smile. The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding. Our room were spotless, and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It was evident that the staff took great pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment for guests. Overall, our experience at Hotel Riva was nothing short of perfect. From the welcoming host to the impeccable service and cleanliness, we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Peter the owner was exceptionally attentive, along with his staff. Nothing was too much trouble - he was very hands on but also gave excellent advice and suggestions regarding places to eat and visit. He was happy to book taxis and make arrangements on our behalf.

The hotel, staff, food and location cannot be faulted. Totally out of their control is the volume of music/live music at Cafe Cuba next door. It was only on the Saturday night it was ridiculously loud and late, the other nights were reasonable but a midnight curfew was never upheld. Peter, the owner had phoned the licensing bureau to report it.

I have stayed in many hotels around the world. But I have not been treated as great as I found in this hotel. Thank you to the staff at this wonderful hotel. It really deserves more than 5 stars. Thanks to all the staff, especially the hotel manager

Everything was beautiful

The hotel is absolutely lovely but it’s the people working there that that make it exceptional. The rooms are very nicely designed and appointed, comfortable in all aspects. WiFi and Aircon work well. Breakfast served in the restaurant or on the terrace has lots of homemade/ locally sourced products. We are fortunate to travel a great deal and stay in some rather posh hotels and Riva ranks very highly in our view.

having to leave but we will be back

Booked stay for my mum. She had a wonderful time. The staff were attentive to all her needs and desires. The breakfast buffet was great with such variety and staff would still ask if you wanted to have something else prepared. The proximity to the beach is fantastic and the best part is the hotel has a private beach with sunbeds only for the guest so you never have to scramble for space.

There was nothing that could be negatively said.
