Hotel Riviera

Great value and location with easy access to the old town and beach area. Hotel was a bit dated inside but spotless with comfortable and spacious rooms. Staff were all helpful and offered advice on travel and local amenities. Breakfast was outstanding with hot and cold dishes on offer and available to non residents.

Overall, this hotel served its purpose for us: cheap, close to the busstop servicing the airport and urban routes, and able to accommodate late check-in. The hotel itself is rather dated with basic amenities, but clean. Front-desk staff were polite and accommodating to most requests. Only things causing significant discomfort were 1) room was full of mosquitos despite us not opening the windows once, and 2) they insisted on keeping our passports at the front desk in an unsecured cubby for the entire duration of our stay! We requested they use our driver’s licenses as alternate government ID with signature/ address/ DOB, but they refused. It made us very uncomfortable leaving our passports behind in possession of a stranger, but we had nowhere else to go so late in the evening. Were relieved to check out and get our documents back.
