The Riviera Hotel is in a perfect location, 15 minutes drive from the airport and a 10 minute walk to the Marina (or a taxi is roughly €4, where there are plenty of beautiful restaurants and shops. Being an Adult Hotel it is very relaxing and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the beds are huge and extremely comfortable with air con and ours had a shower with was amazing the Hotel and rooms are absolutely spotlessly clean. The pool is superb and plenty of room for everyone! Also we found there were plenty of sun beds for everyone and we went in the height of the season. The beach is literally on your doorstep and the Hotel have a lift from your room to the beach. The price for this Hotel is very reasonable and ours included breakfast, in my opinion the English breakfast is not great but plenty of other food on offer and it definitely wouldn’t stop me from returning.The Riviera is situated far away from the town for peace and a good nights sleep but easily enough to get to.I would highly recommend this Hotel.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, Room was spacious and clean, great view from the balcony of the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is right on beach with a 5 minute walk to the marina, lots of shops. I am gluten free and was worried about food options but ate well, we were only B&B so cannot comment on the hotel restaurant, my partner did enjoy the food around the pool thought . I read some reviews about the music around the pool being too loud, we personally really enjoyed it, especially the lady playing the violin and the dj - very relaxing and gave it a great vibe. We will return!
Absolutely fantastic hotel and a wonderful experience. We had such a relaxing stay here at this hotel. Poolside atmosphere is pleasant and provides a real Mediterranean vibe
Just home after 6 fabulous days at this hotel. We stayed in room 501, with great pool and sea views. The room itself was clean, bright and the bed was huge and comfortable, with excellent aircon to make sleeping great! The only negatives I would say was there was no loo brush and those awful fixed in hangers, so you can’t hang anything long in the wardrobe without it getting creased.
The pool area was lovely and peaceful, we got sunbeds easily every morning after breakfast by about 9.30. There were a few reserving sunbeds early, but plenty left. The daytime pool entertainment was a bit odd, a DJ, a keyboard player and a fantastic violin player, but wasn’t on for long then the music was turned back down to a nice quiet level.
Breakfast was everything you could possibly want. Freshly fried eggs and omelettes, actual toasters rather than the usual contraption! Lovely breads and cooked items, and nice juices. Went B&B so can’t comment on the evening meal. The pool bar served lovely, good value lunches and great cocktails.
The staff were all really nice and friendly. We just loved this hotel and will definitely return!
We have been coming here for years ,must be in double figures,we were disappointed with the upgrade,the food has certainly gone downhill,cold soup ,no meet with the salad at night,we were there for 2 weeks and never got a poolside bed,the double beds were never used,the music was sometimes that loud i had to turn up my music player when we used the upstairs garden beds.felt sorry for the nightly entertainment,hardly anyone watching,could be the bar prices double what we paid across the road.They have tried to fix something that was not broken and i my opinion spoilt it,will we be back ,unless things change i do not think so.
