Riviera Hotel

After reading these reviews I was dreading this hotel, but what a lot of rubbish the hotel was fine, it was always clean and tidy, yes it was busy at dinner time but all hotels are when you choose full board or all inclusive, there was plenty of choice for food always having, at least 2 meat dishes at least one fish dish, there was salad, chips and pasta every night, breakfast and lunch were good also.
The location of the hotel is central and the only downfalls were that the staff weren’t very helpful but i feel that was more about the language barrier.

This has got to be the worst holiday my husband and I have ever had the misfortune of spending our hard earned money on. The hotel looked rather nice from the outside (having "recently" undergone a makeover) but that was where the pleasantries ended.
Despite requesting a double room, we were given twin beds on the 3rd floor which had yet to be refurbished. The room was tiny, the bathroom dingy and the soft furnishings looked like they had been caught in a 70s time warp. The beds were unbelievably uncomfortable and only had a thin sheet.
The towels were stained (although did smell clean) and the sink would not stop leaking even though we were told it had been fixed on 3 occasions.
The dining room was tiny and the bacon at breakfast appeared to be served in oil soup. The food was just awful, although if you looked hard enough there were some edible morsels about. we did not even attempt to eat dinner there as the queue stretched from the dining room past the reception desk.
Finally, the entertainment was so bad I felt like Simon Cowell sitting through the highlights of the worst X-Factor/Pop Idol auditions.
The resort of Santa Susanna itself is not very entertaining but it doesn’t make any pretensions that it is. There are a couple of nice places eat (Arc Tapas Bar was pretty good) and Malgrat de Mar up the road has a good English pub (the Crown and Anchor) which has very generous portions of food!
Thank God for the supermarket next to the hotel which sold a good selection of fresh baked bread, cheese and cooked meats. Had it not been for this my husband and I would have starved to death in the hell hole that is the Riviera Hotel!

Well where do I start should have stayed at home in a tent in my back garden. Don’t feel like I've had a break. The hotel accommodated more guests than what they could cater for. The rooms were very small, so was the pool area.
Has for the dining room had to clean our own tables to sit down had to wait in line for 1/2 hour to get in the dining room, no clean plates but was offered a saucer to eat off daughter got food poisoning, staff unhelpful and rude, food well if it wasn’t for chips everyday don’t know what kids would of eaten 90% of the time these were cold had to eat out on many occasion to which we had not budgeted on. Maids service was the best thing I could comment on pleasant and did their job.
The resort I feel was nice for somebody who did not have children or were senior citizens. There were some brill English bars we liked the legends was one to visit great meals and chap. Will not be returning and feel dissapointed, before I go have you ever had sausage casserole for breakfast or fish fingers and frogs! No I haven’t but that’s what to expect when visiting the Riviera.

What can I say, on the other reviews I have read I must agree with them, the food is not very nice at all. Everything about this hotel is not great, because the hotel is over crowded for the amount of facilities on offer. We spent most of our time eating out, and going to other hotels for entertainment. There are six English bars in the area, but with only a hand full of Brits these are not that good either, but they do sell good food.
