This beach-front, luxurious hotel boasts a privileged position on the sea promenade for leisurely walks and right on the Benalmádena marina. Those staying at this up-scale accommodation option will be able to appreciate the varied entertainment and dining offer in the surrounding area. Moreover, Malaga airport is a mere 20 kilometres away from the premises. All the spacious and contemporary guest rooms are the best spaces in which visitors may relax during their stay. They include useful amenities such as tea and coffee making facilities and the superior rooms also offer exclusive welcoming amenities and scenic views from a large balcony. Guests can unwind at the spa and wellness centre and sample delicious international and Mediterranean specialities at the on-site restaurant. The hotel is also provided with a large swimming pool for guests to get a good sun-tan at the deck.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Nice week long stay. Hotel in excellent position overlooking the beach, nice to sit in the outside bar above the pool in the evening. Room was clean and quiet at night even though it was facing a busy road with a few busy bars on it, glazing was very good! A nice walk along the seafront in both directions will take you to lots of restaurants to choose from. The hotel has an access gate directly onto the prom with just a few steps to the beach. Breakfast buffet had lots of choice and fresh omelettes and eggs cooked as requested. Reception staff were very helpful when asking for advice about local buses. My only negative would be that guests put towels on sun beds and would disappear for ages, making it difficult to get a sun bed. There is a rule that after an hour they would be removed but they never were, we sat there all afternoon looking at towels on empty beds. Other than the usual pool issues we would recommend this hotel.
Lovely short break. Beautiful hotel, lovely staff at reception, restaurant staff less friendly. Cleanliness good. Only criticism was very poor standard of food.
brilliant location right on the beach easy accessible from hotel as there is a lift to bottom very relaxed atmosphere if you wanting a party hotel then this is not for you rooms overlooking pool area but I wouldn't have wanted to be on opposite side we were on top floor which was great free air con free safe pool area very clean an tidy there were beds for hire but needless to say they were empty as there plenty normal beds for free plenty choice of food for breakfast an dinner one thing I would say more information on local transport should be available as yiu can't use a debit card you need a green bus card which you buy from a tabac shop an load with credit or small amount of cash as they won't take big notes
Another amazing holiday at the Riviera! We honestly cannot fault anything about this hotel! We have been coming here for 14years and were looking forward to seeing the refurbishment-it didn’t disappoint! Fantastic! The staff are superb…always smiling and wanting to help-they are a great team. The rooms are spacious with a wonderful double bed and fantastic views. Room is cleaned everyday to a high standard with fresh towels etc-a special thanks to a Lola (floor 8) nothing was too much trouble for her! Thank you also to Fabbiana the guest service manager-she does a brilliant job. We have always enjoyed the food, but this year was even better! Each night there was a huge variety of delicious food…warm and very tasty! Always plenty!Pena is still an excellent chef on the show counter…he is great! Roberto and his staff have great organisation and nothing is too much trouble. A special thanks to Julia who works very hard and always has a smile on her face. Breakfast is delicious with a fantastic choice of fresh omelettes, pancakes, fry-up, fruit, fresh bread of all kinds, fruits, pastries-perfect! Pool area has a new ‘vibe’ this year…and I enjoyed the chill-out music. There were always plenty of sunbeds without having to que at a silly time. The lifeguard is fab and helps everyone! We honestly love the Riviera and wish we had booked two weeks! Please ignore negative reviews - they simply are not true! We cannot wait to return. Thank you all at the Riviera!
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Riviera Hotel Benalmádena and would highly recommend it.
From start to finish, we had a fantastic stay. The hotel was spotlessly clean, our bed was extremely comfortable, and the food was excellent, with plenty of choice and something to suit everyone.
All of the staff were friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful, which really added to our experience. A special mention must go to Fabiana, the Guest Service Manager, who took the time to introduce herself personally and made us feel especially welcome. That personal touch was very much appreciated.
We would also like to give a special thank you to Cristina in the restaurant, who was absolutely wonderful. She was so helpful, attentive and friendly throughout our stay and always made us feel very well looked after.
Overall, we had a truly enjoyable holiday and left with some lovely memories. Thank you to everyone at the Riviera Hotel for making our stay so special. We will definitely be back!
