    This hotel suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, an indoor swimming pool, and a lovely bar area. The staff even helped me with a wake-up call on my first stay, which I still remember. Highly recommend! I'm coming back for Christmas.

    Comfortable Stay with Friendly Staff

    We enjoyed our two-night stay in a Twin Room. The staff were exceptionally helpful, and the cooked breakfast was a highlight—plenty of options and served hot! A quick stroll to the beach added to our experience. For parking, arrive early for the best spots!

    hot tub
    spacious bathroom

    The hot tub and pool were perfect for relaxation after a day out. Also loved the spacious bathroom, rare in a three-star! Staying in an apartment gave us homey vibes with a kitchen for snacks. If you’re driving, the easy parking was a win.

    indoor pool
    sea view room

    The indoor pool was lovely, and having access to the jacuzzi was the icing on the cake. We especially appreciated the clean and airy family room with amazing sea views. Afternoon tea in the grill bar was a nice touch as well!

    Perfect family getaway!

    Had a blast with the kids! The games room was awesome, keeping them entertained for hours. Our room was super spacious, with comfy beds and a nice bathroom. The hot tub was a treat after a cold dip in the outdoor pool. Just wish the pool was warmer, it was freezing! The breakfast spread was solid, too.

    clean apartment
    private experience

    The two-bedroom apartment offered a clean and spacious environment, truly perfect for a family of four. The swimming pool was a highlight, providing a private experience with ample space for my family to enjoy. Evenings were made fun at the bar with an array of activities for kids, from table tennis to board games.

    spacious family room
    great location
    limited child activities

    We loved our stay at this hotel! The family room was spacious, and having a separate area for the kids made everything easier. The pool and games area were a hit, perfect for our little ones. Plus, the hotel's proximity to Alum Chine beach was fantastic for family outings.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly entertainment options. A few more activities in the games area would greatly enhance the family experience.

    I particularly appreciated the clean, spacious family room that provided a comforting atmosphere and ease of access throughout the hotel, including the lovely pool area. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    Bathrooms could use an upgrade for modern convenience.

    friendly staff
    outdated furniture
    shower adjustment
    noise disturbance

    The Riviera Hotel provided a memorable stay for our family. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the staff stood out with their friendliness. Our family room was spacious and bright, offering a stunning sea view that enhanced our experience. The pool area felt inviting and well-maintained, perfect for relaxation after a day out. Dining options were diverse, with breakfast catered specifically to dietary needs, which was fantastic. However, a few areas need attention. The furniture in the room felt a bit outdated, and the shower temperature was tricky to adjust at first. Noise from hallways occasionally disrupted our peace. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Access to the beach was convenient, just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the seaside.

    friendly staff

    Great for a family getaway

    The kids loved the indoor pool and they even had a children's entertainer who kept them engaged. The staff really went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, even letting us use the facilities after checkout.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but given the quality, I found it acceptable.
