We visited friends who were staying at the hotel and paid to join them for the evening meal (£15 per person). The restaurant was extremely busy and operated on a self-service basis, but the food was very good. I chose the roast pork, with soup to start and chocolate pudding for dessert, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it.
After dinner, we played bingo and listened to the evening entertainment, both of which were excellent, although unfortunately we didn’t win anything!
All of the staff we encountered were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit.
The only point to note is that the hotel is set across different levels, with the bar area located up a flight of stairs. There are stair lifts available, which is helpful, but they can be a little awkward to use. Anyone with mobility issues may find the stairs and slopes around the hotel challenging.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening and would recommend the hotel, particularly for its good food, friendly staff, and entertainment

Stayed a few times the entertainment is always good but there is too long a wait for this the bar opens at 630 and the entertainment starts at 9 . There is plenty of choice in the restaurant but the tables aren't cleared away fast enough. The pool and the sports bar are an added bonus. The room was basic but clean and there was an option to up grade and I think the parking should be included in the price.

Room OK. Good bathroom. Tried to charge extra for an upgraded room.
Steep steps in hotel and lift unreliable.
Buffet was a bun fight. Food not very hot. No labels for those with dietary needs and staff unhelpful.
No bar during the day, expected to use sports bar next door which was noisy and unsuitable. Lots of drunks sat outside.
Located close to sea but a long way from the town. Walk back up a steep hill.
Evening entertainment excellent.

I found The Riviera Hotel to be a very well organised hotel.From booking in to providing information.It was busy as there were several coaches there the weekend I stayed. The food in the dining room which was buffet style was good and the items were continually refreshed.
The hotel is in good location close to the beach and shops.
My friend and I upgraded our room to a refurbished room and further upgraded to a room with a patio on the ground floor.
Because of how the hotel sits on a slope of a hill...our room was actually lower then reception and accessed by a lift or stairs going down..
Our room was a good size and had all that we needed except for a fridge.

Excellent hotel with great service and very clean, comfortable rooms. Both the buffet dinner and buffet breakfast were delicious, offering a wide variety of fresh and well-prepared dishes. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again!
