This wasnt my first rodeo in Playa. I have stayed many times in last 10 years. I have been to Playa Maya, Grand Porto, Fusion, Royal, Grand Coco, Las Palapas, Illusion, Aventuras Mexicana, Azul 5's, Petitte Lafittes, Luna Encanta, and lots of AI's up and down the coast. The aforementioned hotels are all good or good enough and have lots to offer. However its my purpose here to let all who read this know how good this small beachfront hotel is. It is older but in good working condition. The staff are efficient, friendly and competent. Its a well run, safe hotel with a great location and view. The pricing of the rooms I feel cannot be beat for a beachfront hotel in Playa. I had a beachfront room and could look north on the beach all the way to Gran Porto and south to ferry pier to Coz. Its a wonderful way to wake up. (rooms face east.) Some peopelo coplain about the noise coming from the all night beach club at the other end of the beach (Blue Parrot) but the volume at the All Riviera end is muted somewhat and your airconditioner will drown most of it. The beach club, Bad Boys is right beside the room I had...next door north, but their band only plays on Thurs and Saturday nights from 5 to 9. Its a fun to enjoy this busy spot and with your room right next door, you dont have to endure the Bad Boys washrooms or the drunken greybacks that inhabit the site.The location is remarkable and there are plenty of places to explore and eat and drink nearby. The All Riviera's beach club seems to be run by Mario who is congenial and hustles to please. Staying here allows free beach chairs and it doesnt hurt if you offer to buy Mario a beer to have with you. So to wrap this up.....The All Riviera Hotel is a remarkable value that allows access "right on the beach" Unlike some of the hotels that you get a "view" of the beach.(or in some cases no view) I heartedly recommend this hotel. And despite the fact I have been to Playa so many times.........this is my first Trip Advisor review... they deserve it.
