I found the Bellerive a great place to stay and a good deal for the price. I stayed there for an extended period, and had a room with ocean-view. The balcony from my room had a calm, pleasing view of the beach and water. The balcony doors let in great light and cool breeze. The room was kept clean and tidy, and had a comfortable bed. The Wifi is fast and reliable, offered in the hotel lobby (not in room).
You can take breakfast or drinks out on the terrace, which has a nice view of the ocean and hotel garden. The café and play-area attract many families with children.
I found the staff to be professional and friendly, willing to offer advice on places to eat and how to get a taxi. As a woman traveling alone, I thought the Corniche was the perfect place to stay because it is safe to walk along the Corniche alone or even go for a jog. Also, there are several good places to eat within short walking distance. Taxis are easy to find in this area too.
