Hotel in great location.

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.

Brilliant location, hotel and staff

Absolutely fabulous hotel the staff were all friendly and accommodating hotel is very clean. Facilities are great brilliant location. Lots of choice for breakfast and drinks menus. We had a suite as they were three of us which included two bathrooms a corner balcony and access to the lounge which then gave us unlimited soft drinks, water and access to coffee machine and in the evenings, red white and rosé wine as well as Prosecco. Never had an issue getting , and towels or free of charge from reception. Our towels were changed daily and every evening they left chocolates in the room. 25 minutes from the airport. Would definitely recommend. Also coffee machines all had great options for decaf including Cortado’s cappuccinos and lattes.

Riviera Hotel, would definitely return!

A really lovely and clean hotel. Spacious balcony with good view over the sea and superb room with very large and comfortable bed and twin wash basins! The staff were all very helpful and friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. We went B&B only and breakfasts were plentiful with excellent choice. The hotel is also well positioned close to the beach, shops and many bars and restaurants.

Perfect hotel

Perfect location with beach on our doorstep and a nice 10 min walk to Puerto marina , atmosphere was chillied and not too loud around the pool area which was clean. Out room was on the 5th floor with a sea view and a queen sized bed, room was cleaned daily. Our stay was bed & breakfast only and there was a good choice for breakfast from cooked to cold options, loved the omlette station. This hotel was perfect for our stay.

Not what it used to be

Beware if you have previously stayed when it was Tui hotel ...you will be disappointed. Hotel now mostly via jet2 for UK travel and despite small upgrade there are some major negatives ... hot tub/jacuzzi on lower terrace now removed. No poolside entertainment ie aquafit. Lounge area now premium only coffee bar. No evening entertainment. Sofa beds by pool now at 85euros a day, reducing sunbed capacity. Downstairs gym now yoga area and top comfy seating now a yoga area too. Hotel good....but looks like they are targetting a totally different audience.
