Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, right by the beach and close to bars and restaurants. However, the noise from the busy road behind the hotel was quite disruptive. The modern room had all the necessary amenities but could use better soundproofing. Service was friendly, but the quality varied, especially at the buffet. The dining offered good variety but lacked consistency. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
My stay at Blue Riviera was lovely overall. The rooms, especially room 312, were nice and bright, though they could use a little makeover. The food was good and hot, no complaints there. The hotel's service was exceptional, truly the best on the island. The location offers various lounging levels and is quite convenient for exploring nearby areas. However, the evening meal was a bit of a letdown with bland and not hot dishes, plus cleanliness issues with the plates and cutlery.
The hotel offers a great location right by the beach, with comfortable and clean rooms and friendly staff. However, the dining experience, especially breakfast, could use some improvements. Overall, a pleasant stay with reasonable pricing.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic. The location was superb, right on the seafront with private gardens for sunbathing, and plenty of bars in the vicinity. The rooms were spotless clean, spacious with a huge comfortable bed, and air-conditioned with complimentary wine and fruit upon arrival. However, getting English TV was a bit tricky after the first day. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Paco, Antonio, and Alexandra at the bar. The only downside was that some services, like room service and car hire, were limited but satisfactory.
