Hotel RivageSorrento

The location of this hotel is perfect - walkable distance to shopping and restaurants, marina, port and train station. The dining room has a beautiful view of the ocean as well. The staff was friendly but be aware the English of the staff for breakfast can be a tad limited. The breakfast buffet was tons of pastries and toast/bagels/croissants, a few fruit options, cereal (with very warm milk) and cold quiche. The best cooked breakfast option was the omelette or the toast with ham and cheese, the eggs and bacon were very undercooked. Overall for a free included breakfast we enjoyed it every morning. You do only get one coffee though which my husband was not thrilled with. The restaurant for dinner however was outstanding and if you're staying here definitely make a point to eat here one night. Our room was fine however the ceiling is paper thin and not sound proofed at all. It sounded like someone was moving heavy furniture all night long above us. Maybe add some sound proofing to the ceiling as we did not need the super high ceilings and would have preferred the quiet at night. The mattress was an old spring mattress and was very uncomfortable. That would be my main suggestion would be a major overhaul to the beds. Definitely request a 3rd floor room, we had family stay in the lower rooms and they were not happy at all with their accommodations. The view from the 3rd floor garden room we had wasn't bad, with views of the cliff and trees but the lower down you go the worse the view gets. A 3rd floor sea view room would be the most ideal room to stay in. The pool was small and very cold but we did not use it so that didn't really matter to us. The grocery store across the street had great options if you don't want to have to eat out every night.
