First time in this resort

This was our first time staying at The Riviera and we found the location was brilliant. Just a short walk to the marina and seafront restaurants & bars. The marina was very impressive, we spent most nights there visiting various restaurants. Getting back to the Riviera hotel, I would rate it 3 stars not 4 mostly because the bathroom was very tired and needed a good bleaching. The rooms etc were cleaned each day but it was a very minimal clean as some bits of fluff etc were still on the floor after our weeks stay. We found all staff very helpful and friendly. Our bed was massive and very comfortable and bedding changed once a week. All in all we would return to this hotel but only if reviews improved and building work was completed opposite !

October short break

First time at the Riviera for a short four night stay and it was superb, we had a suite which was beyond expectations! Extremely comfortable room, excellent facilities and location. Finally the staff from housekeeping, bar, reception were all excellent and always polite and helpful. Fully recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel in a great location

The rooms are modern and very clean. The side facing the marina gets little sun on the balcony but overlooks the pool (we stayed 703). Staff were very friendly and helpful. We were booked B&B and the breakfasts were very good with lots of choice. The hotel is in a very central location and has direct access to the beach which is very handy. No charge for the safe or beach towels which are fab! Would definitely return.

Would definitely stay again

Excellent location. Really modern clean hotel. We were in a room facing the opposite to the marina. Stunning views of the beach & sea & sun until late in the evening. Lovely bar area, great cocktails & staff were very friendly. Room was spacious. I would have scored 5 but the only disappointment was the cleaning of the room. Fresh towels daily & bed made but the mugs & glasses were not replaced throughout the stay. We requested clean mugs & glasses at reception but they never came. Only a small niggle but such a small thing you’d expect from a hotel.

Wonderful

A Wonderful Stay at MedPlaya Hotel Riviera, Málaga, Spain ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a lovely stay at the Riviera Hotel in Málaga, Spain. Our experience was truly wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

The staff were exceptionally respectful, friendly and caring. What stood out for us was that they never made guests feel rushed or under pressure. Even after checking out, we still experienced their kindness and care, which made us feel genuinely valued as guests.

The rooms were cleaned daily, and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job of keeping everything clean and comfortable.

The food was lovely, and breakfast offered a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. Everything was served with care and respect.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience, and the excellent service from the staff made our stay even more special. We truly enjoyed our holiday in Spain and would happily return to the Riviera Hotel in the future.

Highly recommended! Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We look forward to visiting again! ❤️
