Riviera Hotel & Holiday Apartments
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the Riviera for 5 nights and had a fantastic experience. The hotel room was immaculate - super clean and well-maintained.
Breakfast each morning was delicious and plentiful, with a great selection of cooked items and pastries that the kids and I really enjoyed. We also appreciated the leisure facilities - swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym. It was never busy at the pool so the kids and I spent a great deal of time there in the evenings.
The staff were a highlight of our stay. Everyone, from reception to the restaurant/bar staff and housekeeping, was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel’s location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and only a 10 minute drive to Poole.
We loved our time at the Riviera and are already looking forward to staying here again next time we’re in Bournemouth."

"Very smart hotel inside with plenty of sunlight in the common areas. Conveniently located to the beach and centre of town. Safe and secure underground car park "
"We stopped from 7th July to 11th July this year 2025. We had a lovely break in the Durley Dean, its clean and tidy and the staff are first class, very friendly. Ok its dated but its Victorian. The bus stops are 200 yards away from the hotel entrance in the direction of Bournemouth and the buses are frequent to lots of local towns and resorts. We were out every day going to somewhere. Swanage, Poole, Westbourne and Christchurch. We would go again. Thank you Durley Dean"
