Not really used to 4* hotels and the hushed tones around the communal areas. Service was excellent and it’s hard to fault the hotel at all.

Lovely break

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the breakfast delicious I would only suggest that marmalade is included in the selection of jams at breakfast (a minor detail) Many thanks for a lovely but all too brief stay

Lovely hotel in a great location with fantastic sea views. The welcome and attention by the staff was excellent. The only disappointment was that the hotel bill at the end of the stay was much less than what we had already paid to Expedia.

Every member of Hotel Riviera staff were extremely efficient, attentive and polite at all times. The dining room served good quality, delicious meals at a reasonable £30 for a 3 course meal. Nothing was too much trouble. Eating and drinking on the terrace was very pleasant but expensive. The seating areas and dining room are air conditioned which makes it very comfortable. A very pleasant stay.
