Hotel Riva Del Sole

Size of the appartment.

It would have nice to have had cooking utensils, plates, bowels, and silverware, so it would have been easier to eat in.

right on the beach! 2 pools, a huge included breakfast (mixed American/European style). airport shuttle free (if you take it at pre-scheduled time) and a couple little restaurants associated. Perfect for a couple nights if you don't wanna leave the resort

Nothing bad to say. Take advantage of the shuttle from airport if you are traveling without a car.

Belle endroit calme et propre belle piscine très grande beaucoup de chaises et proche de la petite plage aussi il y a un resto et un bar convenable et l hôtel a juste 15 minutes de l aéroport

Pas asser de variétés dans le menu du restaurant et si vous êtes comme moi pas de voiture il n y rien à proximité donc vous devez toujours prende un taxi ou le bus et pour ce qui est de la plage très petite

Good

We were checking out early before the Dining Room was open, so we were told that a packed breakfast would be left for us. It wasn't.

Great location for anyone who wants to visit Puglia or just needs a quiet break. This hotel has excellent facilities and great restaurants . I just have to give the staff full marks for their helpfulness and attention to detail.

All excellent

Great location and staff were friendly and helpful.

Service at the main restaurant was slow during busy periods.

Outstanding facilities , great beach club - the room a bit plain and austere but the facilities more than make up for it

The room itself was very bare , and austere

The hotel is very clean, what I like best is the beach area.

The only thing I don’t like is that you booked for omolette during breakfast, it take sometime before it’s ready.

The beach, the breakfast, the helpful staff

Pizza was not available at the beach until 7:30 pm

It's a nice resort and our room was quite spacious & comfortable. The breakfast was really great & the staff was nice & helpful. The resort is right by the sea & the beach club is quite cool (they have entertainment at night).

I think this place needs a bit of a refurbishment as the decor is quite antiquated. The shower was super small (even though the bathroom had a good size). One thing that really bugged me is that we were asked to wear a swimming cap at the pool. I mean, this was not a therapy pool, it was a leisure pool. The food at the hotel restaurant was good, but they were short of staff.

Check in was smooth and the information provided was very clear. We stayed in the self catering apartments. Very spacious and very clean. Staff were very pleasant, and there are lifeguards on duty near the pool and at the beach. Wifi is free and the signal is strong. Overall very good accommodation.

The lack of gluten free options at the beach bar for our kids, Waiting almost one and a half hours at the restaurant to get served a pizza, competing for deck chairs in the weekend.

amazing breakfast, beach and pool facilities. helpful and friendly staff

Hotel Riva del Sole in Giovinazzo is a lovely hotel at the water’s edge. We were comfortable and dined at the restaurant two of the nights we stayed there. The “central” location provided us the opportunity for day trips to some outstanding locations including Aberobello, Rimini, Apulia, Matera…to name a few. You won’t be disappointed.

We loved laying by the sea in the deck chairs. The surrounding trees and flowers around the hotel are beautiful. All staff were great and very helpful. The breakfast was exceptional as was our dinner in the restaurant.

Location was a bit far from anything.We got cabs as we didn't realise there were buses. Hotel could do a welcome pack in each room, with lots of Information in about buses, trains etc. Also we tried getting english channels on tv, couldn't find them. We asked for a free upgrade of room, was told would need to pay. Our room wasn't the best , but it was clean.Would have liked to swim in the pool but it was closed until June. It was so hot! It seems that out of season nothings looked after enough. As while we were there everything was getting painted and cleaned. It should be looked after all year.Overall enjoyed our stay.

Around the hotel could be beautiful, llike inside the garden but it was not like in the pictures! Absolutelly not!!! Far away from how it is looking in real!!! The breakfastt was really good! Caffee was just perfect!! The employment in the hotel were very kind, helpful and nice people, Daniele, the man in the bar was my favorite! He was gorgeous and very nice person!

It is not a 4 star hotel.. my opinion max. 3 star.. need some refreshing inside, too. the room was not so nice, no safe, I ask a kettle what they give me.. it was great. there are some uncompfortable things, small thiny shower cabin, no hanger on the wall for towels, u can not put anything in bathroom only on the floor.. no shelfs or sg.. nothing! bed was soft . The walls are very thin and you can hear everything from the neighbors.Awful view from room.. really!! First I changed for a 2. One, but that was worst and after I ask back what was before.. really not nice rooms.. dark and cold. Nothing was open in the end of April, no pool, u can not go for the beach side from hotel cos they closed it!!! Only open from 1 of June til 16 of September.. in a mediterran area??? Come on!!! I was disappointed cos I booked a hotel cos of the sea side and beach! But nobody could go there.. and rent a car if you dont have it there you are lost!! Taxi are extremly expensive what I also didnt understand.. its ok.. to visit for ones but only after 1 of June!

Staff were good

Room was small dark and dingy, the photos on the website were not taken anywhere near our room. Nothing opens here until June, this should be noted on the website! Won't be re booking

Beach was limited, rocky.Breakfast was great with a large selection and very fresh.Room was relatively small but comfortable, quiet and nice and new. Ideal position for airport as very close.

Pool was not filled as early in the season.Restaurant menu was limited but again we were there very early in the season and may get better later.

We will not be back!

Pictures were not an accurate description of this property. There is a lot of maintenance that needs done. Rusty railings, landscaping, cleaning sidewalks and other walkways etc. On our receipt it showed breakfast included which was not honored because we were in an attached property apartment advertised with the Hôtel accommodations. This may be a better place to stay in the summer. We booked 3 nights and left a day early.

Location is great, near the airport and near Giovinazzo with lovely restaurants and cafès. The breakfast is very nice, the esspresso tastes perfect and the staff very friendly and proffessional.

There are no slippers in the room, which especially during winter makes it not comfortable when staying in the room. Bathtub had some hair. AC is kind of loud. Pillows are not comfortable.
