Aminess Younique Narrivi Hotel

The rooftop spa is a lovely place to unwind with a view, and several public beaches are just a short walk away, though the hotel has no private beach access. Aminess Younique Narrivi is stylish and comfortable, right in the center of town. The rooms are lovely, comfortable, and many have a beautiful sea view. The Italian restaurant inside is one of the best places to eat in town. Parking can be tricky: underground spaces are limited and need to be reserved, or there’s a secure lot farther away.

The service was friendly and helpful, and if I could, I’d give it 10 stars. My wife, daughter, and I came to Crikvenica looking for a good meal, and the three dishes we tried were all extraordinary. The prices are higher than at nearby restaurants, but worth every cent. I’ve eaten at many restaurants in Croatia and former Yugoslavia over the past 50 years, and this is the best I’ve ever been to. If you want something different and delicious, eat here. Next time we’re in Crikvenica, we’ll definitely come back.

The hotel's quiet spot in Crikvenica was convenient for reaching the beach, town center, and main attractions, and parking was easy to manage. We also loved the calm, modern wellness area, with Finnish and steam saunas, an indoor pool, and peaceful places to rest after time at the beach or exploring. Breakfast offered something for everyone, from hot and cold dishes to fruit, pastries, and local specialties, all nicely presented. Our room was spotless and bright, with stylish modern furnishings and a spacious private balcony with a lovely view. The staff welcomed us warmly and stayed kind and helpful throughout. We had a truly memorable weekend at this beautiful five-star hotel.

The breakfast alone would make us want to return. It was delicious and varied, and you could order from the à la carte menu at no extra cost on top of the buffet. Chef Marko did a wonderful job with both the taste and presentation. We stayed three days for my birthday, and the hotel upgraded our room and gave me a bottle of wine, such a nice surprise. There were three of us, my husband, our six-year-old daughter, and me. The clever pull-out lower bed meant she had her own sleeping space without us ordering an extra bed. The service was excellent, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The spa was lovely too, with tea included, two saunas, a heated indoor pool at 30°C, and a heated terrace jacuzzi, even though it was chilly outside. The welcome was warm, and I’m grateful and impressed. A solid 10 out of 10, highly recommended!
