We chose the Riviera Hotel for a single night on our way out of Istria to Venice. We didn't know what to expect of Porec or of the hotel entirely, and we were very pleasantly surprised on both accounts! Check in was a breeze and they were even able to accommodate our early check in (which we did NOT expect) which made it even better. The room exceeded expectations in every way - it was incredibly spacious with great amenities and amazing corner room view of the sea. Location is spot on - you can easily walk around the water front, and have a number of excellent restaurants within a minute's walk. The old town is nearby and is incredibly charming. We liked it just as much as Rovinj (if not more in some ways!), and found many great places for a drink and a bite (don't miss Bacchus for wine). All around, exceptional stay and friendly, efficient service - we just wish we'd stayed longer!
