The whole family enjoyed the excellent gym facilities and Marilyn was glad of Colin's advice. It also enabled Rachel and Craig to maintain their strength, stamina and fitness in preparation for their return to competitive sports acrobatic gymnastics at F.I.G. level. Everyone enjoyed the games of volleyball and water polo. Colin's way of getting people to join in was gentle but persuasive and he kept the games fun without being too competitive - fun for all abilities. It's a shame we were there for only a week. Thank you.

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and all the staff I encountered were so friendly and helpful. I enjoyed using the excellent indoor pool and spa massage facilities and Colin's instructions in the Fitness centre and his friendly and knowledgeable advice regarding local walks were very much appreciated. These points all played a big part in making my holiday such an enjoyable experience, and I look forward to returning some time soon.

We have just spent a most enjoyable holiday at the riviera resort and have made extensive use of the spa & gym facilities. Purely by accident I got into conversation with Colin the fitness instructor and mentioned spinal problems which for me has been most painful. He is extremely knowledgeable and I have spent short ammounts of time in the gym doing some very basic exercises under his guidance. The benefit has been amazing, and I will be able to continue his programme when I get home. His knowledge of back problems is amazing and better than anyone I have consulted in the last two years. I recommend your Spa & Fitness area and the quality of your staff.

I would like to compliment Colin on his "Ramble walk". We thoroughly enjoyed it. There was some amazing photo opportunities along the walk which was done at an enjoyable pace. Colin was fun and easy going. We also enjoyed the other hotel guests company. In this walk we saw places and sights of Mellieha we would not have found without this walk. Thank you Colin for a wonderful afternoon ramble. We would recommend this walk to other hotel guests.

Exceptional value for money ... and more ... I have just got back from a 6 night break at the Riviera Resort and Spa in Malta. First of all, I really cannot fault the hotel. I consider it to be excellent value for money. Although in a very quiet area, the hotel is well served by the myriad of yellow buses that swarm over the island, so it is quick and easy to get wherever you might want to go. Melliha Bay Beach is just a five minute ride away, and is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited - quiet and peaceful with great amenities. Clean golden sand, and shallow warm waters. Sheer bliss!

Back to the hotel. The pool area is fantastic, there is free internet, and the food is of a reasonable standard. I particularly enjoyed the breakfasts where there was a lot of choice. Being vegetarian, I found that the evening meals had plenty of veggie choice, and the soups and pasta in particular were always tasty.

But the best thing about the hotel is the wonderful staff. From reception to the restaurant, nothing is too much trouble, The staff are friendly, helpful, and caring. I particuarly wanted to acknowledge the hotel bar man, Ivan Drago. My husband happened to mentioned that he wanted a mojhito to drink, but the bar had no mint. The next day, Ivan appeared with some fresh mint that he had picked from his own garden so that he could make my husband his drink! How thoughtful is that? The service we received from Ivan was exceptional, and one of the highlights of our holiday was to go and sit in the coffee lounge after dinner and chat to Ivan and admire the wonderful panoramic sea views from the lounge.

However, the main thing I shall remember about Malta is the kindness of the people. On the second day of our holiday, my husband Nick woke in extreme pain and could barely move due to pain in his neck and back. Despite it being a Sunday, I called down to the hotel reception at 8.30 a.m. to request a Doctor. By 9.15 a.m. the Doctor had come to our room, given my husband an injection, and given us a prescription for medication. Dr. Robelli was extremely kind and sympathic and looked after my husband very well. We then had to go and get some medication in a village a fair bit away - as that was the only pharmacy open. We tried to go on the bus, but got lost and started to become anxious as my husband was not feeling well and we were worried that the pharmacy would close before we got there. We went into a hotel and ordered a taxi. A lady taxi driver called Amanda picked us up and took us straight to the pharmacy. She was genuinely concerned for my husband, and could not do enough for us. She was very kind and helpful.

So Ivan, Amanda, the hotel staff, and all the other Maltese people we met on our break - a heartfelt thank you for the warm welcome to your beautiful island. YOU made our holiday.

We are already planning our next trip to the Riviera and will be looking forward to one of Ivan's award-winning Mojhito's!
