Hotel Playa Ribera is a three-pearl boutique popular with young couples who want to stay near the beach. The interior and exterior have a modern design style with 16 somewhat small rooms and not much in the way of features. Bike rentals and a small bar on-site are a nice touch. Breakfast is served in a pretty tent with a sun terrace. It may be worth checking rates at Jardin Secreto for access to a swimming pool and more personalized service.
Scene
Modern design boutique near the beach
Hotel Playa Ribera looks like a large white cube with sharp angles, built at the foot of a tree-lined hill near the Ribera Beach. Inside, the modern theme continues with a slate gray and lipstick red color palette in the lobby. Space age inspired furniture includes a bold armchair and black circular pod. Breakfast is served in a lux white tent near an Astroturf patio decked out with wicker furniture for lounging.
Location
In a residential neighborhood near the Ribera Beach
The Hotel Playa Ribera is built at the bottom of Riviera village with bars and restaurants about a 10-minute walk away. The beach is just a few minutes walk from the hotel. The surrounding neighborhood is mainly residential and quiet. There's free parking in a lot and on the street (though some guests report that parking can be problematic).
Rooms
Slightly cramped rooms with bold colors
There are 16 rooms at Hotel Playa Ribera and some of them are in the basement. Though sub-level rooms are well-lit and as beautifully decorated with clean lines and vivid colors, the views are disappointing. Black furnishings, minibars, and flat-screen TVs are standard. Some past guests have complained about lack of storage space and size in general. Book a double room for a separate living area with a gray couch and a whirlpool tub.
Features
Bikes and breakfast near the beach
There's no on-site restaurant at Hotel Playa Ribera but there is a pretty semi-outdoor breakfast area which gets good reviews. There's an intimate and sophisticated bar and lounge with one desktop computer for guests to use. Bikes are a fun way to explore the area and get to the nearby beach or village. Wi-Fi is free in the public areas but some guest rooms don't pick up the signal.
