Across numerous reviews, Hotel Riviera Palace is appreciated for its beachfront setting and friendly staff, while feedback on rooms and amenities is mixed, with praise for sea views balanced by dated fittings, noisy air-conditioning, intermittent Wi-Fi, and occasional bad odors.
Breakfast is often enjoyed, though some found it limited or poorly replenished, and the on-site restaurant is frequently unavailable with few nearby dining options, especially off-season. Cleanliness impressions vary: several note tidy rooms, while others report stained carpets, mold, dirty dishes, and off-season pool cleanliness issues. Expect a simple beachside stay with standout views but uneven maintenance and amenities.

Facilities
Facilities center on a seafront pool and gated parking; several guests praise the pool, but others encountered it closed or dirty outside peak season. There is often no on-site restaurant, and Wi-Fi reliability is weak.

The breakfast was amazing, a lot of choice and the staff were so attentive. They also had a gated private car park, so it felt very secure. The rooms were kept very clean and they changed the towels & bedding regularly, just could do with some more coat hangers and hooks or shelves in the bathroom to hang bikinis up to dry etc!

Posizione paesagisticamente favorevole, proprio sul mare, seppure non ben collegata. Purtroppo la piscina non era attiva (probabilmente perchè non è ancora la stagione adatta) ma comunque la colazione vista mare è una bellissima esperienza.

Don’t go in March. Great breakfast but almost everything nearby closed. Pool should be covered if not kept clean. Poor signage. Had to go wrong way to find the entrance. Again, probably better in May. Better to stay in Agrigento in March.

The accommodation was fine, tidy, clean, the room had a view of the wall, because a room with a view is paid extra! When checking in at the reception, the girl didn't know English, and it took longer than it should have! and one more thing Wifi didn't work all day and night!

Locatie vlak aan rustig breed strand. Hotel heeft geen restaurant en ook in de directe omgeving zijn er amper restaurants. Bij aankomst op de kamer bleek de airco niet aangezet geweest, waardoor het er zeer warm was. Airco maakte veel lawaai en het duurde een eeuwigheid vooraleer kamer een frisse temperatuur bereikte. Kamer had een balkonnetje met zicht op zee. De kamer zelf was niet aangenaam : met vlekken bevuild vast tapijt, veel vlekken op behangpapier, leder van hoofdeind bed was aan het afbladderen, ouderwetse badkamer met douche in bad, te laag gepositioneerde douchekop, schimmel hier en daar. Ontbijt was ondermaats, kwaliteit van eten liet te wensen over, geen aanvulling, glazen en borden waren vuil, katten die aan tafel kwamen bedelen. Om af te sluiten met een positieve noot, er is gratis omheinde parking en hotel rekent geen city taks aan. Mooi zwembad, ligbedden aan vernieuwing toe. Hotel heeft een grondige renovatie nodig.

This area is meant to be visited in the summer only. No shops, no sunbeds, no restaurant, no nothing - completely dead during warm November. The room smells strange and it mostly definitively was not junior-suit worthy. Could sleep though and go home.

First, the good- the staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The location was good with pleasant views of the beach. Now, the bad- our suite was not sweet. In fact, it was just a triple room with a twin and double bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with single chair. The carpet was worn and the room was dark. Also, the water in shower fluctuated between freezing and scalding hot. If they were to renovate the rooms, it could be a nice property, but it is not good today

Soggiornato 3 notti in questa struttura a due passi dal mare. Nel complesso la struttura è buona, carina e pulita ma…. Sembra che la cordialità e l’ospitalità siano passati di moda sia tra i dipendenti della struttura sia di alcuni bagni/lidi intorno. Per farvi un paio di esempi Colazione dalle 7.30 alle 10.30. Arrivati quasi sempre alle 7.30 la colazione non era mai pronta e per avere una opzione salata abbiamo dovuto aspettare fino a quasi le 8.00 circa. La sera prima del check out abbiamo chiesto se dopo aver lasciato le stanze come da programma alle 10.30 avremmo potuto usufruire della piscina, avendo una bimba di pochi mesi e per comodità, avendo anche visto che i giorni precedenti era completamente vuota. Richiesta che, sempre con la stessa cordialità, è stata prontamente rifiutata. Stessa cosa per il deposito bagagli, inesistente. Sicuramente non sarà minimamente nei nostri pensieri tornare in questa struttura o in questo piccolo paesino, che manca proprio di ospitalità verso delle persone che, felicemente avrebbero voluto trovare una situazione più accogliente. Peccato veramente

Location
Beachfront setting with scenic views is a consistent highlight and provides easy access to Scala dei Turchi. Several note limited nearby dining and a quiet, less connected area, especially outside the main season.

Posizione paesagisticamente favorevole, proprio sul mare, seppure non ben collegata. Purtroppo la piscina non era attiva (probabilmente perchè non è ancora la stagione adatta) ma comunque la colazione vista mare è una bellissima esperienza.

The staff and facilities were great. The hotel is just across from the beach. The holiday season was just beginning during our visit so dining options in the area were limited.

Super freundliches Personal, gute Ausflugsmöglichkeit zum Kalkfelsens nach Scala dei Tuchi und (mit Auto) zum Folk-Festival Agrigent Umgebung unattraktiv, Hotel hellhörig, morgens laut noch nicht auf Gäste eingestellt- Poolwasser grün, keine Bestuhlung auf Terasse oder am Strand

This area is meant to be visited in the summer only. No shops, no sunbeds, no restaurant, no nothing - completely dead during warm November. The room smells strange and it mostly definitively was not junior-suit worthy. Could sleep though and go home.

First, the good- the staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The location was good with pleasant views of the beach. Now, the bad- our suite was not sweet. In fact, it was just a triple room with a twin and double bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with single chair. The carpet was worn and the room was dark. Also, the water in shower fluctuated between freezing and scalding hot. If they were to renovate the rooms, it could be a nice property, but it is not good today

Posizione eccellente praticamente sul mare. Struttura elegante ed accoglientr. L'unica pecca la colazione secusamente acarsa per un hotel a 4 stelle.

Locatie vlak aan rustig breed strand. Hotel heeft geen restaurant en ook in de directe omgeving zijn er amper restaurants. Bij aankomst op de kamer bleek de airco niet aangezet geweest, waardoor het er zeer warm was. Airco maakte veel lawaai en het duurde een eeuwigheid vooraleer kamer een frisse temperatuur bereikte. Kamer had een balkonnetje met zicht op zee. De kamer zelf was niet aangenaam : met vlekken bevuild vast tapijt, veel vlekken op behangpapier, leder van hoofdeind bed was aan het afbladderen, ouderwetse badkamer met douche in bad, te laag gepositioneerde douchekop, schimmel hier en daar. Ontbijt was ondermaats, kwaliteit van eten liet te wensen over, geen aanvulling, glazen en borden waren vuil, katten die aan tafel kwamen bedelen. Om af te sluiten met een positieve noot, er is gratis omheinde parking en hotel rekent geen city taks aan. Mooi zwembad, ligbedden aan vernieuwing toe. Hotel heeft een grondige renovatie nodig.

Dining
Breakfast draws frequent praise, though several guests found the selection limited or poorly replenished at times. The hotel restaurant is often closed, and nearby dining choices can be scarce in the off-season.

The breakfast was amazing, a lot of choice and the staff were so attentive. They also had a gated private car park, so it felt very secure. The rooms were kept very clean and they changed the towels & bedding regularly, just could do with some more coat hangers and hooks or shelves in the bathroom to hang bikinis up to dry etc!

Bella struttura fronte mare, confortevole, posizione ottima tra scala dei Turchi facile da raggiungere e il centro di porto Empedocle, personale accogliente una cosa da migliorare e la colazione un po' scarsa. Per il resto lo consiglio
