Very nice hotel, friendly staff and very clean. Only negative is most tourists come here in the summer for the beautiful shorelines and amazing sea and the hotel should install a retractable laundry line in the bath/shower to hang the bathing suits and beach towels (which you must buy locally or bring yourself as the hotel does not supply them.) The buffet breakfast is utstanding. Now for the region of Rijeka, if you have toured Europe and many of its historical places, this industrial city that also caters to tourists (for the beautiful sea, shoreline, crystal clear waters and amazingblue skies) seriously needs to power wash every building as 95% of them have probably 70 years of industrial grime on them. This is sad because many of the really historic buildings are quite beautiful (not the communist block and industrial buildings, which unfortunately dominate this city. ) As for the gastro experience in Rijeka, truly outstanding food a d service every where you eat, from the pizza bars to fine dining. The people of Rijeka are truly pleasant and focused on being outstanding ambassadors for Croatia.

I took a group of about 20 university academics to Hotel Bonavia Plava Laguna, Rijeka, for a couple of days in mid-September 2023. It is without doubt the best hotel in the city and the only choice if you want excellent service. The location is perfect, the building beautiful, the prices good value. My contact in the hotel sales department was Mr. Krešimir Poropat. The detailed and cordial attention he gave me both in the months beforehand, as I organised the trip, and during the trip itself, was beyond anything I have received anywhere else. He greeted me in person and dealt with everything immediately. The other hotel staff were also excellent, in helping my guests and organising and delivering catering of various kinds. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, especially if you are organising a group trip.
