I just stayed at the hotel Riviera in April 12'. The hotel staff is very nice and friendly. I didn't meet a single person on the staff that didn't greet me with a smile. The location is as close as you can get to the beach in Gandia, and speaking of the beach it is beautiful. The beach is well maintained and the people are very nice. This was my first trip to Gandia and I plan to go back. The surrounding hotels do get a little loud at times but it is a beach location after all.

We went to Spain to a Formula 1 race and to spend some extra time sightseeing. We did not one to stay in the city. We are so happy we found this gem of a hotel. The location is perfect. It is on the end of a beautiful boardwalk. You can walk in one direction along the sea. There are resturants along the walkway and little cabana bars right on the sand and it leads you into the town of Cullera for shopping and more bars and resturants. If you take a stroll in the other directions you can enjoy the sea view along with some other little beach bars and resturants. There is a little tour train you can take to the top of the castle which is a must. We had a car; but you really do not need a car. The train station to catch the local train to Valencia is a little bit away; but there is a bus that runs there and 1 taxi that we are aware of. Beware of the signs the say "McDonalds 5 minutes" it's really a much longer ride then that...note; we don't eat there but it was funny that all the signs say it. It was so easy to take the 38 minute train ride to Valencia instead of driving. The hotel is a bit on the older side; but kept up very well. There are not a lot of english speaking there; but with a smart phone and some patience it all worked out. The location of this hotel is perfect if you like a little the quiet less hussle and bustle beach hotel this is it. They have chairs and umbrellas/covers for the beach. The pool is wonderful also...but note...as with everything in Spain; things are closed for siesta. The hotels main dining room is nice; the breakfest was extremely overpriced for what you received. The beautiful young Irish woman who runs the Terrace Bar and resturant is great. I would suggest waiting till 10:30 A.M when it opens to enjoy a coffee and a snack. Her menu of sandwiches, salads and appitizers is wonderful...ask for Sam; she is the best! There is a store called Consume and it is local market; prices are very cheap. We walked there for water and little things

Prepare to walk about a half mile or so to the downtown restaurants. Close to the beach
