The property itself appears to be brand new and well maintained. We booked an “Executive room with sea view”, which was the only one left available and that fact should have raised our suspicion. What we’ve got was a two room, two bath apartment with no balcony whatsoever and sea view for anyone taller than 1,8m. For anyone less than that, the chair beneath the window became a totally new meaning. Two double-beds were prepared although they knew we’re a party of two. In no way that room deserves its designation and we made that clear to the reception. They promised to get in contact whenever an alternative shows up – we never hear anything back from them within the six-nights stay. But to remain fair, the gap in our expectations were the only oddity with the room – clean, functional and nice beds. The same can be said about the entire property – great spa and fitness, nice beach facilities und diverse restaurants. Mostly friendly staff but the service is far below what you’d expect from a Hilton and by the money spent. A little drizzle and the entire outdoor pool area has been closed and the staff ambitiously tried to scare the people away from the beach in order to close that too – what they finally did. Ordering something at beach restaurant is an interesting endeavor too: you handed over a couple of times until someone finally had enough compassion to hear your wishes only to get a lesson in what is considered food you allowed to order – for ice cream a coffee you’re thrown out. All-in-all we had some relaxing days here. Read carefully what you’re buying and assume nothing because of the brand and the money you spend. As first impression counts, we certainly not coming back and you may also raise the question if it’s worth the money. But you may also catch a lucky hunch and depending on what you’re used to, may experience your greatest stay ever – we just felt being pulled over the barrel by a questionable description of the room.

Location, rooms, and the front desks workers.

Very poor service with extreme young people not the bar and restaurants on the beach. Should pass a much stronger and better quality education in order to work on a 5 start resort.

The view is spectacular. Nature, beach, rooms, bed comfort everything is great. Location is super. I definitely advice you to visit here.

Food quality, diversity and taste could be better.(kitchen restaurant) Also service quality of workers is not in 5 star hotel standard. Some workers are really nice but my overall experience was not satisfying .

The view is spectacular, the rooms are comfortable, the breakfast is great.

At this price point, i was disappointed to find hidden costs everywhere. Parking was outrageously expensive, there was a paid tier for wifi, even spa lockers were 50 cents to use.

Most likelly the best restaurant in Croatia is located on top floor of the Hotel.

20 min wait on the reception for checking in. Empty mini bar, if you want it to be filled, need to pre-order, never experienced that in Hotels of such category. 20 eur daily parking fee. 200 eur deposit for using Hotel services on room charge.

If I should name this Hotel I would call it “The light Hotel”. Light is the star of this “movie”. Light of the amazing landscape you can see, light reflexed by the sea, light mirrored by the glasses of the building, light entering the spaces inside the hotel, light coloured in a infinite ways of tones and changing moment by moment. So light creates a show in a continuous changing during the day but also the night, with good weather or not, during the day or the night. It’s a spectacular experience with no price. That’s why I recommend a “deluxe” room that are on the higher floors (I did not try the villas …). For the rest everything ok, very clean as you can aspect from an Hotel of this kind, beautiful and very big SPA (swimming pool with water quite “fresh” in my opinion but probably perfect for swimmers …). All the Staff very very kind, anyone taking care of your needs. I was here in December so only “The Kitchen”restaurant was open plus the Michelin star “Nebo”… In the first one the breakfast is served, an other experience… for the good quality of the food and the great variety … by the way waiters passing through tables offering glasses of “Prosek” … So no doubt: this Hotel is to be visited, may be better when temperatures are not too high to enjoy all the spaces and the terraces offered by the place (April, May, June… late September, October). WiFi perfect, parking ok (we left the car to a valet Parker… very nice and kind guy, no extra charge for this “help”…). Room wonderful, one wall is all glass, it seems to stay in a boat … even if in the toiled no bidet …(in such a kind of hotel structure a small lack in my opinion). Room has everything, from slippers and bathrobe, to iron and ironing board, kettle and … coffee machine with capsules replaced every day if used… No way: you must try this amazing Hotel, for me it’s a 10 “Cum Laude”.

- The sea view - Room size is good and bed is comfortable - breakfast selections and quality ( even if is repetitive during all the 9 days , not much alternative options ) - Cleanliness everywhere ( very good for this point ) - Nice outdoor and indoor pool ( even if open too late and close to early )

- Dinner buffet mains were ok but not that good. ( surrounding area has much much more restaurant options to offer, eat almost every time outside the Hotel ). - parking garage is a bit narrow and has to be paid ( 20 Euro a day ). - The staff is a little bit slow, and looks not very well organized...too many in some area and confuse service, ( not up to 5 level sat hotel, need better Management training ). - limited pool area seating ( many guest reserve the seat using towels), not very good control/checking by the management. - TV has not many programs in English ( beside news channels ). - Only 2 chairs and a table on the balcony ( not any sun bed available in our Villa room type ).

As far as Hilton's go, this is the best Ive stayed at worldwide! Staff are lovely, room was brill, all rooms with a lovely sea view. Breakfast was awesome and worth the money. Spa was also extremely good. And to finish, the michelin star restaurant on the top floor was sublime!

We were given the impression that only the 7 course taster menu was available, however we found out after the meal that aot 4 course menu was available for hotel guests. This left a sour taste as the price is pretty steep. The food was amazing but didnt feel that the hotel or the restaurant were honest and open about options.

We stayed at Hilton Costabella for business, but the experience seamlessly combined comfort and productivity with moments of relaxation. The seaside location offers peace and discretion, which is invaluable for business trips, while also providing a perfect setting for a short getaway as a couple. The room was modern, functional, and impeccably clean, with a breathtaking view. The workspace in the room was well equipped, and the Wi-Fi was stable—perfect for remote meetings and getting work done.

However, one thing that stood out as a missed opportunity was the lack of greenery around the hotel. For a coastal resort, the outdoor areas feel a bit stark and would benefit greatly from more lush landscaping to create a more inviting and natural atmosphere.

Excellent facilities, the wellness was awesome. The breakfast offers a very wide range of food, excellent quality. The dinner, when it was buffet, was great, when they offered a-la-carte instead of buffet as there wasn't enough people - it was fantastic! Having access to the Executive Lounge was TOP TOP TOP! Staff were really helpful, friendly and professional. The panorama suite - fabulous! Really lives up to its name, the view is to die for. However, for a 5* suite, it could have been that little bit extra. For example - nowhere to hang your towl in bathroom, had to try and make it stay on the door handle. Getting to the towl from the shower made the whole bathroom wet. Also, nowhere to hang a hand towl near basin, like nowhere. We were putting it on the side of the basin so it got wet when washing hands. Again, for an expensive suite, a few necessities would have been great like brush, sewing kit etc etc. All in all, it was a fantastic stay!
