Stayed in the Riviera last week in August 08, was a bit sceptical after reading mixed reviews, however i should not have worried at all. The hotel is very very clean, the rooms are large enough, balconies either face the marine (preferred) or towards Fuengirola, we had the latter which was not a problem, the view from our 7th floor... more

We had two glorious weeks in brilliant sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky and no rain!. I picked this hotel and was guided by the reviews. It ticked all the boxes and we were not disappointed. I had read about the noisy road and was a bit worried about the noise. When we got there we were on the... more

This was my second stay at the Riviera.....and will be my last. Many comments in the other reviews are very true....the hotel is not a five star, its is tired and old, once you get away from the impressive reception area the corridors are aged and the carpets are very worn. This hotel is very much for the older generation...regardless... more

My husband and I spent 10 wonderful days at the beginning of July at the Riviera in Benalmadena. We booked this hotel on the basis that it was adult only and the food reviews were pleasing. We booked through the Thomson website last year and felt we paid a really good price. Good Points: very friendly staff, room 807 amazing... more

Stayed at the hotel for eleven days with my boyfriend, the food was great and staff couldnt have been more helpfull. The only problem was that there wasn't realy many beds around the pool so if you werent down there by ten then you were stuck. However the hotel has a no reservation policy on people who do try to... more

Just returned back from a long weekend break. This hotel is certainly over rated. Thomson give this a 4 star rating, I would not give this any more than a 2.5/3. Thomson also state that this hotel is strictly for the British clients & that the hotel does not take bookings for anyone under 16 years of age. This does... more

A planned holday in the area at friends place fell through. Stuck with flights we nearly didnt go as the place has become so built up and busy. However a friend recommended the Riviera so we booked for a week. The location was fine with good access to the promenade by lift or stairs from the reception area. Good Public... more

Booked this through Portland which stated it was a 4 star hotel, in our opinion this hotel was more like a 2 star, the restaurant was not clean, more often then not the cutlery, glasses and tablecloths were dirty. Most of the rooms were on the side and the back of the hotel, if you do get a room on... more

If you like to see elderly people enjoying themselves, this is for you! Seriously, the rather tired exterior of this hotel is not the best introduction: the food is very good and the service excellent. The room was, unusually, carpeted but the carpet had seen better days. Although the room was double-glazed, it didn't keep out the noise of the... more

We stayed at the Riviera for 28 nights from mid Jan to mid Feb, and had a great time. The hotel is run exclusively for Thomson bookings and is therefore 100% British. An added bonus was that there were no children allowed in the hotel. Most of the guests were of the 55+-age range, so I’m not sure it would... more
