We stayed in the Boutique Hotel Esplanade in Crikvenica for 1-night in mid-Apr (€128). The hotel is located across from the beach at the north-west edge of town, a short walk down the pleasant promenade to the restaurants and bars of the main plaza on the small boat harbour. Our superior seaside suite with balcony was in the historic part of the hotel, beautifully renovated with stylish, modern finishes. It had a large sitting area with a huge couch, chair, minibar and a large flat-screen TV, opening onto a large balcony with a table, chairs and a sea view (and a drying rack for swim suits). There was a mini-refrigerator for your cold drinks, and a plate of fresh cookies as a welcome gift. The bedroom was large, with a 4-post king bed with unusually comfortable pillows, side tables, 2 clothes racks (a nice touch), a large closet with a huge safe, and a second TV. The bedroom also had a smaller balcony with a sea view. The bathroom had a huge bathtub/shower, and a large vanity around the single sink. The property was large, nicely maintained, with a restaurant/bar with outside patio seating, and a large pool with plenty of loungers. Parking on the property was €15, but was free on the tree-lined street out front. The hotel hosted an afternoon tea, and a pre-dinner schnapps tasting that was fun. Breakfast was superb, beginning with a multi-layer serving platter with fruits, cheeses, cold-cuts, followed by a large a la carte selection of hot foods that were stylishly plated and delivered to the table. Overall, the Esplanade is a beautifully renovated, stylish hotel in a location convenient to the beach, the main restaurants and bars, but sufficiently apart to be quiet and offer safe street parking. Throw in the friendly and helpful staff, what is not to like? Highly recommended.

Clean and elegant hotel. The room was spaceious and well equipped. Breakfast was an experience in itself, 5-star breakfast with al-carte The beach just across the road. Everything you need is near the hotell: Restaurants, bakery, bike rental, food shop. Crikvenica is a typical Mediterranean resort town, but in the hotel you get to stay in your own little peacefull bubble with great service.

The location of the hotel is very central, opposite the beach and within walking distance there are a lot if restaurants and bars. Hotel has a nice pool with poolbar and offers a good breakfast in the morning. Spa and sauna are included for hotel guests, which is great. Only downside is parking space. As with all hotels, restaurants etc in an old city centre this is very limited. Hotel has a limited number of parking places at the hotel and a 2nd spot a bit further. A shuttle service is offered when you have to park the car at the 2nd spot

“very good breakfast”

Hotel is nothing special. It is old and quick renovated. Bathrooms are still old. Wellness also new. Staff is friendly. I would recommend this hotel only for short stay. But breakfast is superb. Alla cart, at least it was during covid.
