This hotel has many nice things, including friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast, free parking, and clean rooms. The room just feel a little old-fashioned. Also there are missing things that I expect in a 4-star hotel like kleenex and drinking cups. As well, the shower water wasn't very hot, and the bedside lights weren't good for reading in bed.

Hotel Riva del Sol is right across the street from the beach, and very easy to walk to the old town are for shopping and dining, although there are also many choices just down the street from the hotel. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. ( we had a problem with the drain in our shower and they fixed it right away.) There were many choices for breakfast and there is a restaurant on site for dinner also. Parking is included in a small lot right next to the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is a charming hotel and wanted to love it, great location to the beach and the staff is very attentive. Breakfast was decent, dinner at the restaurant was fantastic. The one downside was the air conditioning, or lack there of. Never could get it below 25.5C which for me was not good as I need a cool room to sleep. If you can't sleep sweating look elsewhare
