This hotel has a charming decor and an amazing oceanfront location, perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying local dining. I was very pleased with the breathtaking views and the variety of room types available. However, the breakfast options were somewhat lacking in quantity and variety, and some aspects of service could use improvement.

The rooms were decorated with traditional Sicilian furniture, offering a unique touch that reminded me of old Spanish hardwood. My room featured a shaded balcony with a lovely view over the ocean, but the breakfast did not match the standard set by the ambiance.

Overall, it's an average option for those looking for a budget-friendly place close to the beach.

My stay at Hotel La Riva was quite enjoyable, thanks to its charming decor and excellent breakfast. The hotel’s location right opposite the beach was fantastic for early morning swims and evening strolls. However, I did find the room a bit small and the street noise could be bothersome during the weekends. Overall, it offers great value for a seaside vacation.
