Amazing place! All you need and great program for the kids as well - my 5 year old son had a blast! Lots of pools, beautiful beach and The aqua park is an added bonus. Staff is very welcoming and accommodating. Food is excellent! Very clean and well organized. You instantly feel at home! We’ll be back for sure!

Grecotel La Riviera offers an exceptional blend of luxury and authentic Greek charm, with stunning views of the Ionian Sea. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and impeccably clean. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making every guest feel truly valued. Dining is a highlight, featuring delicious local cuisine in a gorgeous setting. Overall, it’s the perfect destination for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

As I said best vocation ever. Best food, good coffee, a lot of free space (not as It was in Turkish where all are sitting on other heads) A lot of respect to personal borders. Good stuff, helping you any time you need

The experience of staying for a week at the Riviera hotel was truly amazing. The food was really well prepared and the service was excelent. Pools were nice and clean and the sandy beach was a perfect place to enjoy a swim in the sea.

I write this view critically as I know I appreciate everything there is to know about a hotel before I spend ridiculous money on booking our family holiday. First thing - this hotel is fantastic for families with kids (not perfect but really good). We always stay at all inclusive places and this is the best one we have stayed at. What’s great: - Water park is amazing, never overly busy and in the uk you would pay a fortune for it and at the hotel its 2 min walk and you can go there as much as you want - The Beach is private to the hotel and again a 2 min walk down from the hotel, never overly mobbed, clean and and shallow waters - A few pools, all nice, the kids will need something to play with as not much to do for them - Kids club :) Maria and her team were really good, they were excellent with the kids and they always came back with some artistic creation. Also a kids disco, our kids are 6-7 and this was perfect but older ones may get bored - Food (for all inclusive) always tasted good and felt like well cooked with reasonable variety, for 2 weeks stay you also get 2 vouchers for their bookable restaurants. You never queue and the hotel never had a feel of being overly full Not great things: - WiFi is non excellent. -This is doubly annoying as the hotel info works off an app and it’s a large complex with a map only on the app! -The location is the middle of nowhere, it’s about 2.5/3hr drive from Kalamata Airport which feels an ordeal. It also makes car hire a no/no as they put a 150km cap on the cars which means you can’t really drive anywhere! -Grecotel’s take on all inclusive is not all inclusive, the ‘other’ restaurants you have to pay for and a number of things on the menu have to be paid for eg. Milkshakes Middle of the road things: - I think the hotel is a little dated but we had a superior family room which was a good size for our age family and we barely noticed but would slightly agree with other reviews I read - the hotel is on a complex of an apartment block and also their Oasis hotel, on a Thursday our kids cub was closed and we had to go to oasis, golf buggies shuttle you around like a mini bus service - Didn’t make much difference to us but not many Brits here I’d say I’m always very critical about our holiday hotels - mainly due to the money they cost! And this is the first one we agree we’d go back to, the only watch out for a second trip would be the ‘not great things’ I mentioned above BUT it was a great holiday and thank you to the hotel mgt and Grecoland team (kids Club)! We have one day to go and readying ourselves for the long trek back to the airport!

The service is excellent. However some parts of the hotel are looking tired and could do with a refurbishment (rooms and pools). The food is good albeit not consistent across all the restaurants. BUT the staff at the Riviera, the Spa and the Water Park (which is a huge draw) are fantastic. A huge thank you to Aggeliki and Marsela at the Spa. My daughter and I were able to treat ourselves to a massage and both therapists were amazing. One of the best full body massages I’ve had and I’ve had a few! My daughter is 12 and was made to feel comfortable and treated to an age appropriate massage (we were in the same room), she loved it. Finally a huge thank you to everyone at the Water Park for creating such a fun atmosphere particularly Alexandros.
