Great views, but...

Lovely sea view, but the room had an overpowering smell of cheap air freshener with something not quite right in the background. Maybe a previous guest was a smoker?

Very Pleasant Stay.

From the moment we arrived at the Riviera, we felt welcome. The person on reception was helpful and informative. The room, we were upgraded to, was good and the breakfast ideal. Parking was slightly limited but this was advised when we booked. Very happy and wwe would choose the Riviera again.
