Great stay!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at the Riviera Hotel! The ambiance was perfect, and the amenities were top-notch. I want to extend a special thank you to Jamar, Eunice, and Anna at the reception for their exceptional help, and also to Martin Sapiano, the Guest Relations Manager, for making my stay extra special. Everyone was incredibly helpful and made me feel truly valued. I can’t wait to return!

Pros:

Staff were lovely. English is not their first language and they do try to accommodate, at times, you do ask multiple times for things but eventually do get it, esp drinks.

We did all inclusive, the breakfast is the same every day! Lunch and dinner change, they do themed evening meals. Grill/bar is very very limited and depending if your pool side or reception the menu varies. Pizza was soggy and cheese not melted. You have to pay for grill items such as burgers. In the main restaurant, salads were always random, I found the lettuce dull and depressed and then they would have weird pasta salads. Most foods came with olives ... Even scrambled eggs!.. Some items lacked seasoning. Pasta could have been cooked longer as was quite hard. They do cater for those who dont like to eat anything aboard such as chicken nuggets and chips!. Best food they offered was the Lebanese selection. There was a big selection of desserts - I didn't try any but looked nice. Food was very samish daily. Watermelon was hot and miss if it was red and tasty.

They were quick to clean tables in-between diners.

Drinks vary in-between server and area, sometimes a drink is available on AI other times it's not, it's very hit and miss as to whether it's included.

Water from the restaurant tasted like melted ice, the water machines upstairs tasted better.

This place lacks entertainment.
Nothing to see around the hotel, pretty baron!!!

Pros:

Their daily activities were very fun and Yoga class trainer was the most amazing I ever had.
Baffe was so much choices every day different it was good.
The room was very humid and dump smells every time come back to room. Shower stand was broken each time when I had shower water leaking to the room. That’s very disappointing.

Pros:

The place is excellent for a quiet rest away from the massive construction going on in Malta. It is in a area were traffic is also far. The right resort if you decide to stay and not visit much. Very close to Gozo. Lost some points due to wear of certain areas which require repairs and maintenance. Otherwise the place is recommended, beautiful and relaxing

Pros:

Very clean hotel with friendly staff. Warmly greeted on arrival with a welcome drink. Arrived just in time for dinner on our first day, ushered into dining room for a hearty meal. Room was booked as a double but we had two single beds zip linked so it was a queen sized bed, unexpected. The rooms were kept clean by the lovely staff with nothing too much for them. Always greeted with a smile.Swimming pools had plenty of sun loungers, so no early towel staking out of the pool. Pool towels provided for a refundable deposit , which you could get a fresh one daily. Food in the buffet restaurant was always varied and plentiful. Would give 5 stars except for fact that the food was mainly warm and not hot. The hotel is at the end of Marfa with not much around it- peaceful. Use of a hire car allowed easy access to the rest of the island for sight seeing and if you wanted to visit an adjoining resort. Evening entertainment was ok. The animation team were very good with the water aerobics and some other activities but again a bit limited as to what was on offer. There is a small sandy beach close to the hotel which my wife used daily as there were sun loungers and parasols apparently free of charge! Not sure if this was for our hotel guests or for the new hotel being built alongside. Alli in all a very pleasant stay. Place was relaxing with the lovely staff always at hand. Had to call maintenance to fix the sink plug as it would not open- sorted within half an hour. Would come again.

Pros:

In overall the hotel was nice however not up to a 4* standard. We had booked the half board package - and the drinks were not included in it, usually it should be explicitly shown but it was not, so bit dismissive on the information. Also the concierge staff was not very informative on the check in, and bit dismissive on any questions we could have, almost looked lost when questioned. Only shower gel provided in the bathroom no shampoo or conditioner.
On the positive note the food and drinks quality was enjoyable and the location and view are great plus

Pros:

As a solo female traveller this hotel was absolutely perfect, the staff were not only friendly but genuinely happy and interesting. The pilates was brilliant, the drinks and food faultless. I felt like the hotel went above and beyond and 100% recommend it and stay again.
