The hype
Travelers love the location and the friendly staff, often returning year after year.
Riviera Hotel & Spa
$60-150/ notte
Prenota se You want a reliable, classic 4-star base right across from Cleopatra Beach without the chaos of a mega-resort.
Perché piace così tanto
- Prime location just 50 meters from Cleopatra Beach
- Two decent-sized outdoor pools plus a heated indoor pool for winter
- Consistently praised food quality that exceeds the typical all-inclusive buffet standard
In sintesi: A solid, clean, but slightly aging dame that charges you extra for beach chairs despite the 'All Inclusive' label.
Recensito da @A1: I was blown away by the golden hour from my balcony. Even with the street below, watching the sun dip behind the castle was unforgettable. The room is simple, but that view made our romantic getaway feel so much more expensive than it was.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The 'All Inclusive' feels more like 'Full Board Plus' due to the extra charges for beach amenities and fresh juice.
- You prioritize beach access over modern design
- You enjoy a mature, quieter atmosphere (popular with older European couples)
- You want to be walking distance to Alanya's center and the cable car
Pulizia e manutenzione

- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some grout lines show the hotel's age (2014 renovation).

- Linens & towels: Clean and crisp, though not luxury thread count.
- Odors & scents: Neutral and fresh; no lingering smoke smells reported in non-smoking rooms.
