To do this they would have been watching the bus arrive, watch them check in, and follow them into the lift. Inside the lift... More

This was our first stay at the Riviera Hotel and we were very impressed. The rooms are a little tired but are spotlessly clean, linen changed every other day, towels every day all rooms have sea view balcony. The dining room is lovely with its pink tablecloths and linen napkins but they only compliment the food, as the majority of... More

This is the poorest hotel I have ever had the misfortune to stay. The carpets and chairs were very badly stained. The house keeping did a very poor job, the bathroom was "wiped" not cleaned. Glasses we used were not replaced just left dirty. The food was third rate. no coffee available after evening meal. A pot of coffee would... More

Just returned after an enjoyable three night stay. We were put off from some mixed reviews regarding the rooms. However there were enough positive reviews to give the hotel a try and we were pleased we did.The room was spacious and with lovely sea views and kept very clean. The maid replaced the towels daily, even though we hung them... More

Would not recommend this Hotel. First bedroom 710 badley stained carpet and chairs. All over very shabby and dirty. Moved to 707 with a wooden floor, which eliminated the carpet problem, but were still very unhappy with the cleanliness of the room. My wife and I both suffered from sickness and diarrheoa for the first four days of our stay.... More

We were lucky enough to get room 808 getting afternoon sun and found it to be very comfortable and clean. The food was the best that we have experienced in any hotel, e.g. a choice of crispy or roasted bacon at breakfast, 3 or 10 minute eggs with fried or scrambled an alternative, a large choice of fruit and cereal,...

Dont go to this hotel unless you are over 70 years old. Dont get me wrong. Hotel was very clean, Food was very good but nearly all guests are oldies who have been going for many years and have not experienced a modern 4* hotel. I think this is why Thompsons has rated this hotel a 4* because all their... More

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights from 27 March 2012 on a bed & breakfast basis, The hotel is conveniently located for the beach, harbour and village. We enjoyed the breakfast, I don;t eat meat and the view from the dining view onto the beach is stunning. The hotel caters for mainly British older patrons and the... More
