Hotel Marina - Liburnia

Great place for families. Wondeeful location. Not great for guests without children. Buffet food was ok, but not great. Very nice restaurants outside the hotel on the seaside. Hotel feels old with a bit of refurbishment. Room was clean and bed was comfortable

Have enjoyed the stay here so much I've felt compelled to write a review! The hotel is great, really friendly service, smart, modern and extremely clean. Very good choice of excellent food, location is right by the beach, it's beautiful to watch the sunrise in the morning; and there's lots of lovely little bars to sit and enjoy the view. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are really comfy. I've had a lovely week here.

We went as a family of 3 in one room + extra bed. I slept on the extra bed (which is some sort of foldable sleep couch) and although there was a slightly hard line in the middle, I was able to sleep well. It even has a curtain to make it seem like a little extra room. The AC was very loud and very cold. On our last day we found the hidden switch behind the curtains so make sure to thoroughly check or ask the staff at the reception. Speaking of which, we had to go down there and ask for help with several things and the staff was always friendly and helpful. There's always someone at the reception, 24/7 Many of them speak German but going without English knowledge would make your trip a bit more difficult. People in the shops and cafés around the Hotel also speak both languages and also Italian. The hotel has a 1,35m deep pool and less than a minute to the beach. Make sure to pack water shoes though as it's not a Sandy beach but has pebbles. The water is fantastic btw. There is a supermarket (Konsum) right next to the hotel so you can buy whatever you might need there. Surprisingly there's a good bus connection to Opatija and Rijeka as well. Just ask the reception staff for a bus plan and they'll explain everything. Google maps also helps with that. Our 7 year old enjoyed the Kids club and the kids disco with mascot Liri which is every night at 8pm. The disco is usually followed by performances like dance shows and a clown. The dancers are talented and put a lot of effort into their shows. They even went around to talk with the guests, take pictures with the kids and it's been enjoyable to watch for adults as well. The food at the hotel was really good and there were always 4-5 different dishes to choose from, but their German translation occasionally lacked a correct translation. Make sure to bring a phone to translate (English is always there) or ask the staff. There's always a salad bar and they also offer cakes and ice cream (although the latter only in the evenings) We've had a great stay at the hotel and would recommend it. Again, shout-out to the really friendly dancers of the show, it was a pleasure talking to you.

We enjoyed our stay in a hotel. The rooms were very clean and with balcony. The food was delicious and they really took care of my gluten free food. I also got a dessert each time I went for dinner or breakfast. The pool was a little colder than what I am used to. Nice stay, would reccommend.

Super 👍
