To be quite honest we were a little dissapointed. The view from the hotel is amazing and the staff is friendly and helpful. The overall state of the hotel is very rundown. The rooms are ok clean but everything is going rusty, old refrigerator and lamps are broken. The pool area is quiet but also the wooden floor is broken a lot of places, the ladder to the pool is broken, the elvators smell. Its an ok budget friendly hotel, but dont expect anything great. The elevator that goes directly to the beach is a really cool feature.

This is a budget hotel and nominally 3 star. Howrver despite mixed reviews we were very pleasantly surprised, and the facilities are excellent. There is a spacious reception area with seating. We had a junior suite which had a roomy lounge, excellent shower and comfy bedroom plus a double width balcony. The breakfast was good with hot options including fried eggs, streaky bacon, beans, scrambled egg, hash browns and for some reason mini hot dog sausages!, plus an extensive selection of continental style breakfast items. Dinner is buffet style and food was well presented, although geared more to a continental taste than UK. There are extensive sun decks with numerous loungers and umbrellas which have amazing sea views. The pool is situated next to a small pool bar which serves drinks and light meals until about 6pm. There is a private lift from the pool area which takes you directly to the beach avoiding the hill down and the road. This is very useful and convenient. There are a gym and spa in the hotel, but we didn't have a chance to use these. The hotel is short walk from the small town centre via a moderate hill. In the centre there are four or five restaurants, a spar shop, pizzeria and two bars. We stayed in early September and the hotel and resort were very quiet. Weather was excellent with sundhine every day and temperatures around 30°c. There is an excellent and frequent bus service to Puerto de Mogan in one direction (about 15 mins) and Playa de Amadores, Puerto Rico and beyond in the other. We would definitely stay again. Recommended.

if you have less money you can go there, but dont expect a lot, rooms are very old,

the hotel lobby is nice. the agreed to shorten my trip from 4 nights to 1, that was nice! but only because of that i give 3 stars in the service, rest service was very very bad.

they were nice but still bad ^^. so if you have less budget and you dont look so much on rooms, privacy, then it s ok, they air condition is good, so yeah but if you want luxus, forget it ....

i only give 2 stars because of the offer to shorten my trip, else i would have given 1 star.

rooms are big btw, but very cold styled.

Room was nice, loads of space nice and clean.
Pool was warm and great views out to sea and for the price so worth it! Nice location and only a short bus ride to puerto Rico and puerto Morgan

Location wise it was pretty good, close to most of the places we visited. The staff at the reception were great, always greeting us with a smile and helpful if needed. The food was not good, we had the dinner service only once and the only good thing was the paella, the breakfast buffet wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. The rooms were nice.
Important thing to know is all the weird pricing and rules,15 euro if you want another towel, 5 euros per day if you use the safe and 2 euro if you use the phone other than to call the reception, not allowed to take the bottle of water that we bought from breakfast to our room, as well as any coffee mugs or juices. The food at the pool was surprisingly good in comparison with the actual hotel restaurant.
The hotel is only for people who want a very quiet atmosphere, families with small children or elderly people, not suitable for young people. Some of the staff got frustrated when we tried ordering food because of the language barrier, we speak very good english and a bit of spanish but they still ignored us when ordering even though we were very polite. Playing with an inflatable ball in the pool or on the grass was not permitted because some of the elderly clients complained. We are from Türkiye so some of us have darker skin and there was some racism towards us from the staff and the other residents. Not living up to the prices unfortunately.

The hotel is clean, quiet, and well maintained, with a beautiful ocean view. The pool area is modern and inviting, and the staff are helpful and polite. It’s a great place if you want to switch off and relax.

However, there are a few downsides that make it hard to rate higher. The Wi-Fi is very unreliable, which is frustrating in 2025. There are also extra charges for basics like towels and the safe, which feels unnecessary. The area is extremely quiet — perfect if you want peace, but not ideal if you’re young or looking for some animation. Be prepared to travel by car, bus, or taxi to nearby towns for nightlife or activities.

Food options are also limited: if you’re after good lunch or dinner experiences, you’ll need to head to places like Puerto Rico for more variety.

Overall, Riviera Vista is a solid, peaceful hotel with nice views, but the poor Wi-Fi, limited dining, and lack of nearby entertainment mean it’s best suited for travelers who value tranquility over convenience.

The Hotel Riviera Vista is located on a hill between Playa del Cura and Playa de Tauro, a privileged location with wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean, a short distance from the famous Playa de Amadores and the lively day atmosphere and nightlife of Puerto Rico.The hotel has common areas, with modern decoration and a pleasant atmosphere, which gives a fresh touch to the establishment with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.We would like to highlight our private lift that takes you directly to the Playa del Cura beach. It will leave you at the very edge of the ocean.
