Medplaya Hotel Riviera - Adults Recommended

The hotel was about 20minutes by taxi from the airport. Check in was smooth and reception staff very professional. We arrived in time for evening meal. There was a huge variety of food to choose from as well as show cooking. The dining room and kitchen staff were on top of everything it ran like clockwork. The room was large and clean with an amazing sea view down the prom. You could also see the road but when the balcony doors were shut you could not hear the road noise. There was tea and coffee facilities and complimentary toiletries toiletries which were topped up everyday. The bar was reasonable for drinks and had a pleasant atmosphere. The pool was clean but freezing as it was January there was an outside hot tub which was warmer. The spa was nice and on offer at €10 per couple for an hour using the pool, sauna and Jacuzzi. The hotel was directly on the seafront and had a lift down to the promenade. Bus stop and supermarket and bars all within 2 minute walk.

Everything was great at the hotel. Construction work going on nearby.

Hotel was in an excellent location for getting around, walking and for using public transport, which was literally outside the hotel. We had a room for three, which I guess was the same size as a double with an extra bed, but roomsize was fine. All beds were really comfortable with nice fresh bedding and towels every day. Breakfast and dinner of good quality and plentiful, which suited us for a few days, however would not have continued with evening meal if had been staying any longer as lots of other nice restaurants to eat. Pool was lovely with outstanding views looking over the sea and beach. There was lots of extra's such as an outdoor jacuzzi, pool table, table tennis and gymnasium. Also an indoor pool and spa which we didn't use as weather so nice. Staff were extremely professional and very helpful.

Nothing! Although me being really picky the bedrooms although extremely clean I would rate at 3 star and the corridors are dark grey and not very inviting. But do not let this put you off as the rest of the hotel makes up for this.

The food, location and the view. Good range of activities. Lovely massage in the Spa. Generally very friendly staff.

Bits in rooms are starting to look tired. Bath had mastic around it which was very black and moldy. This was replaced when I mentioned it. Fridge cupboard door was falling off, but again it was fixed promptly.

Cleanliness all round .although i did have to tell reception of mouldy bath sealant which was re done the same day but i am sure you would agree for a 4 star hotel this problem should be picked up in a room check and not by a guest. The entertainment staff especially the lady who carried out the relaxation classes and evening entertainment is so enthusiastic she deserves credit.

I thought some of the breakfast items were cold and think this was because the containers they were in dont retain heat very well. Strange how on our holiday a couple of different people in the resort having asked us where we were staying mentioned how they had heard the food in the hotel had gone off its normal standards.whilst we found the food good i can understand where a couple of little changes may lift the food quality again ie i thought putting burgers,small loin chops and tiny little bits of flash frying steak options on the hot cooking counter were poor options for a 4 star hotel.Also the bacon for a hotel of older people in my opinion was too fatty and should be of a uk standard of cut and should be cooked more .

We stayed over the festive season. The location of the hotel is great - virtually on the beach and very close to bars, restaurants, and a supermarket. The balcony sea views (from the designated superior rooms) are panoramic and gorgeous. The standard of the food at the breakfast and dinner buffets was excellent. The kitchen served a great selection of buffet dishes, including Andalusian delicacies, that were beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Show cooking was also available at both breakfast (choice of eggs and omelette) and dinner - chef carvery or steaks, lamb chops, etc. They also served two special festive buffets over the course of our stay (Christmas evening dinner and NYE dinner) and these included complimentary wine or cava. All the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, including the room attendants and the delightful waiters and waitresses. We met people who return to this hotel, year after year, for month-long holidays. We've already booked our return stay here.

My partner felt disappointed that certain advertised guest activities (bingo and a stretch class) were cancelled without prior notice.

Breakfast was lovely, freshly cooked eggs and waffles as to be expected as most hotel restaurants have this. Cereals, breads, pastries, fruit, continental and cooked food really could not fault it apart from the juice. Room was really nice and facing the sea as requested. Maid was lovely. My 88 yo mum (Rm525) was with us too and the maid on her floor was absolutely lovely making sure she was ok.

Sadly as the hotel was in Spain I was expecting fresh orange juice bearing in mind oranges are synonymous with the country and not a diluted type of drink, that would have been a good idea and a 10/10 for breakfast. Room just a bit tired, broken tile at the bathroom door which was really obvious. Dinner was not good at all I ended up eating salad. I asked if it was possible to have lunch rather than dinner but that wasn’t an option, however Hotel Bali could do that. I’m sure a lot of food is wasted for the evening service. Chicken and meat with bones in is fine but not in a stew or sauce dish as you just can’t see what you are eating.

Fabulous hotel, immaculately clean. Lovely pool area with spectacular views and numerous seating & lounging areas at different levels. Lift takes you down directly to the promenade and beach. The pool bar is very good with excellent hard-working friendly staff. The breakfast was really good, fresh, good quality & lots of choice. The dining room was light & airy with gorgeous views. Bottle of wine and mineral water waiting in the room when I arrived was a lovely touch. Very professional reception staff. My room was very nice, again spotlessly clean, mini-fridge and very comfy bed.

Although the room was lovely it was on the ground floor so didn't have the best view. However, I booked very last minute so can't really complain. The facilities at the hotel more than made up for it.

Location was amazing. Staff were helpful and kind.

We stayed in a triple room which was really only a twin with an extra bed. Whilst we were overjoyed to find wine glasses and a corkscrew were provided (3 of) and the mini fridge accommodated the extras we bought, with just a bit of rethinking and making the furniture movable, all three beds could have been placed on the back wall freeing up more space. The bathroom was great-walk in shower was powerful and double sinks were a godsend. It’s just a shame they don’t have any suites.

Liked everything about this hotel. Position- staff- food- entertainment. It’s a perfect hotel for complete relaxation. Our room was on the front and had a superb balcony with sun all day long. Food quality is excellent and there is ample choice each evening. Chef’s corner is brilliant and you’ll never leave the restaurant hungry!!! All staff are wonderful- friendly and helpful and nothing is too much for them. Restaurant and bar staff work so hard but are always happy and smiling and ready to help. The evening entertainment is varied and pleasantly enjoyable. It’s an absolutely brilliant hotel which I will definitely recommend.

Nothing- it’s perfect

Check in guy was very nice and parking was easy. They upgraded one room so we could be together as a group which was nice.

The hotel is made for older couples. They started cleaning room at 9:30 am and ended up walking into the room before we were up. This is ruins the relaxation of the holiday. As well they say breakfast goes until 11; however, everything was shutting down by 10:30. I was told the fresh eggs closed at 10:45 but when I asked at 10:40 they refused to make me anything. If they want to close breakfast down by 10:30 they should just make that the closing time because it's not pleasant eating breakfast while they keep trying to take your plate away.
