  Aparte de la estructura... Este village se gana los 10 puntos sobretodo por el grupo profesional de animaciòn que tienen. La pase increible gracias a ellos!. Serà verdaderamente una semana inolvidable.

  Perfect place for family with kid(s)

  We just came back from a very pleasant all inclusive stay at Riva Marina Resort in Italy. We loved the clean room, food and friendly staff (eventhough most staff didnt speak English). There was a playground and a separate swimming pool for babies/toddlers. We loved the free pizza every day at the swimming pool and the drinks. We had to pay for bottled water, chips and ice cream, but that was okay for us. The resort also had a private part on the beach, which was only a 5 minute drive away with the resort-train/bus. We have a lot of respect for the members of the animation team, who were always friendly and chearful. But also respect for the cleaning staff, restaurant staff and everybody else who are working very hard to keep the large number of guests happy. We had great time and we will definately return to Riva Marina Resort! *** Family room: Pros: * clean and spacious * air conditioning in both living and bed room * free wifi at request * free baby bed at request Cons: * dated shower Restaurant: Pros: * fixed table * extensive choice of food * friendly staff Cons: * noisy because of large number of guests

  Ideal base, must have a car

  Hire a car and exit the dual carriageway for Specchiola turn LEFT at the end of the exit road. The road bends then runs parallel to the main road. The resort is a little way down on the right. The staff were excellent. The rooms spotless. The restaurant is noisy because the Italians seem to travel in large groups and enjoy each others company. We were more jealous than bothered. The resort is massive and a lot of concrete softened by trees and gardens.. The local restaurants had closed for the season but we had no problem with food in the hotel. The only diet drink available was Coke Zero in the pool bar dispenser. Strangely no Lemonade. Breakfast is continental. Pizza by the pool in the afternoonr. The evening meal is a choice of two pastas, soup followed by a choice of 3 mainsand fruit or pastries. Specchiola, is seaside but drab. Most of the local beaches do have rocky areas and seaweed. The resorts beach is easily walkable and they lay on a 'train' from the back of the resort to the beach returning regularly. All inclusive gets you two beds and an umbrella on the beach and there is also an all inclusive bar. Get trains to Lecce or Bari. We booked on Trainline app and it was so cheap. Research the wonderful cities and towns before you go. Don't trust the SatNav - roads get closed on market days. Excursions are available, I think we would be bored without a car. Finally, the Italians have a set dance routine to everything, a bit like line dancing, so sit back and enjoy.

  Good if you like school dinners

  Not a bad hotel, overall, and quite well priced. But you get what you pay for. The pool area is large, snd the pool bar serves decent wine, beer and pizza (pizza after 3pm). The rooms are small and not at all premium, but I wasnt here for the rooms. Theres also a nice spa, and the massages are good and well priced, however, I had three massages while I was there, and all finished 5 to 10 minutes early. My biggest complaint was with the food. I know times are difficult, and Covid means the buffet has to be served to you by staff, however the quality was very disappointing, especially as the Italians are known for their food. It was school-dinner quality at best, and never more than warm, never hot. However, if thats what you like, theres plenty of it. One final point is mask wearing. Whether we like it or not, we have to do it, and its compulsory indoors at the hotel. However too many guests AND staff (especially those serving food) had their noses poking out the top. A little more discipline on this would be good.

  Room for improvement

  I recently visited this resort and overall it was very nice the food for an all Inclusive is mostly the Same everywhere.. breakfast was EXACTLY the same daily lunch and dinner varied. The pool was lovely Not heated bit the weather was extreme hot so not a problem. The staff overall were lovely as long as an effort was made with them Italian people dont all speak English and English people dont all speak Italian thank goodness for google translate! The wine beer and local spirits are included in the all inclusive and the lemoncillo which is extremely potent However there are some issues that people should be made aware of the closure to the pool if visiting at this late in the season is a MAJOR problem ! The transport to the beach isnt provided there is no entertainment and the excursions are not available as its the end of the season! We were not made clear about this by LOV holidays and when contacted they were very unhelpful just kept quoting the terms and conditions they seemed very disinterested in trying to see if anything could be done? But due to the sheer pressure the manager very kindly kept the pool open for the paying guests and their children. Seeing pictures of the private beach Im honestly not feeling I missed out to much anyway as it looked quick desolate. Overall anyone thats visiting this resort should be aware that as it is very isolated they will need to hire a car to get about as the train station is about 15-20 minutes by car and the local town 20-25 minutes
