Riviera Vista

Just returned from 11 nights at this wonderful hotel. If you are looking for entertainment, local noisy bars, group holidays or local shopping DON’T GO. This hotel is a break from the norm; small town, plenty of sun beds, lovely swimming pool, friendly staff, free wi-fi, amazing views, quiet and relaxing; a place to switch off. After reading previous reviews we asked for a 6th floor room away from the lifts and had an email response the same day. Our room was a junior suite on HB. Could not complain about the food, and there are a few restaurants down the bottom of the hill and one bar which plays major sporting events if needed. The Spar shop is well stocked. The buses run frequently and this is the cheapest and easiest way to travel; Porto Rico 10 mins, Puerto De Mogan 20 mins, Maspolomas 25 mins. Porto Rico and shops and loud bars if that’s your thing, but we preferred Mogan (Friday market amazing) and Maspolomas sand dunes and relaxing bars near the beach. Turn left as you exit the lift to the beach and clamber over the rocks to Tauro beach or continue on to Palya Del Anadonres beach with sunbeds and bars/gift shops, easy walk. Definitely would return.

Well this hotel is set in a lovely location, slightly up at the top of a hill end of the road. Might be a little challenging for people who are less mobile but still manageable in any case. There is a spar, shops and a couple of restaurants in the mini centre just at the bottom of the road from hotel. There is a beach literally on the hotel doorstep but there is also Amadores beach which is beautiful a short bus ride away and even quicker in a taxi (€1.20 bus €5.50 taxi) the hotel is very clean and plenty of sun loungers around for all to use. The breakfast is ok enough to set you up for the day. The rooms are clean and spacious with a nice sea view balcony. The staff are very pleasant and happy to help and also polite. Overall this establishment is well worth the money and I’d come back again.

If there is a better 3 star hotel in the canary Islands, tell me about it. I have stayed in 4 & 5 stars with less than Riviera Vista. Only and only minor issue was the pillows, but because we stay on the island it was easily rectified Belive me give it a try

We have stayed here twice in the last year, each time with our children and our eldest son has since returned with his girlfriend, the rooms are amazing, clean modern with great air conditioning. The cleaning and reception staff are amazing and work hard to keep everyone happy. I have to be honest and say that we have found the restaurant and pool bar staff rude both times we have stayed unfortunately. However this doesn't spoil our holiday. The pool is lovely with great views of the beach and bay below, plays del cura is quiet which we like with a goose shop, beach and a few bars all nice, not far from Porto Rico if you want something more lively for about 5 euros in a taxi , we will stay again most definitely.

Stayed in the Junior Suite on the 6th floor, the views were stunning with a sea view, the suite itself was spacious and clean albeit slightly dated, the room was nice with plenty of storage but why insist on 2 single beds, a bit ridiculous, diverse mixture of people from Europe there, probably more Scandinavians than anyone with a smattering of Irish, British, Dutch and Germans, the hotel reception staff were very courteous, especially one man who was the image of Giorgio Armani so I called him Senor Armani he liked that 😄pool bar was very nice as was the food, the actual pool was very nice and usually you could get sun loungers no problem, the lift to the private beach was pretty cool, the only downsides were the breakfast which quite frankly was horrible and not worth the €10,didn't have an evening meal so can't comment but the food in the pool bar as previously mentioned was nice but for some reason It only opens from midday to 6pm which isn't long enough really,overall a lovely hotel with some small downsides, Playa Del Cura is a small quiet resort 10 minutes by bus from Puerto Rico which is much more built up, or 15 minutes from the lovely Puerto De Mogan. Pros: View from the junior suite stunning Hotel reception staff especially the Armani lookalike man Clean and tidy throughout Rooms were good and maids came most days except Thursday and Sunday Pool area was lovely Lift to the private beach Cons: Breakfast was awful, food not good Pool bar staff could smile a bit more

Apartment one bedroom as advertised on the picture when you book was finally a big room with 3 beds. We kindly asked the reception to relocate but they pretend that the hotel is full and that they don't have the booking system of the hotel in their hands. The manager is not available, neither physically or by phone since 4 days ...
