Riva Beach Resort

We stayed for 6 nights and the location couldn’t get any better. On the doorstep to ***drem beach which is also a lot quieter than the other beaches. Food wasn’t great and overpriced food/beverages in general (especially alcohol). We went half board and still had to pay for soft drinks for dinner. However we spent our days on ***drem beach and we ordered from a place called ***drem beach shack which was very reasonably priced for food and cheap alcohol. I’d recommend using that restaurant for drinks and food if you don’t go half board/ full board. We found it quite unprofessional as we were shortchanged each time and they kept the extra as tip as they couldn’t give any change. Overall, great location and perfect for the beach.

The location of Riva is excellent. Right on the quietest part of the beach, but still very accessible to beach shacks and restaurants. There are 3 pools on the premises and the spa services are great. Check in and check out was so smooth. I really wish I could rate Riva higher because it’s a beautiful resort with hospitable staff and it has the potential to be very relaxing. However the food was a huge letdown. Goa is known as an amazing culinary experience, and I wish Riva was able to offer food that was upto Goan standards. I ordered a soup at the cafe and it was substandard to say the least. The sambhar and veg gravy the next morning was watered down and then over salted. Fortunately my resourceful family was able to find some amazing food options outside the hotel. There’s work to do and I will wait to hear of better food reviews before I recommend or visit again.

Основной минус - в этом отеле празнуют свадьбы и всё внимание персонала уделено проведению свадеб. Постоянно строят декорации, по территории ходят несколько десятков работников, грязных грузчиков целыми днями. Лежаки от основного бассейна убирают, так как они мешают грузчикам. Оплаченный нами ужин по системе "шведский стол" из-за свадеб постоянно отменялся и предлагалось выбрать по меню в кафе на улице. В день заселения нам и как выяснилось и другим людям дают грязную комнату с ужасным видом, ссылаясь на то, что номеров нет и завтра поменяют на тот номер, который мы оплатили. В итоге мы вынуждены были потерять полдня в ожидании переселения из номера в номер. Весь персонал неприветливый, неуслужливый и даже не здоровается. В комнатах очень грязно даже на видных местах, белье с пятнами жёлтого оттенка. Ремонт всюду делался очень давно, хотя на сайте указано, что в 2022 году была реновация, но это неправда. Еда вся острая, расчитана на индусов, невкусная, выбор большой, но есть нечего. В других отелях также есть индийская еда, но она хотя бы вкусная. Заявленных бесплатных занятий йогой и посещение тренажерного зала оказались платными. Лежаков у бассейнов около 10-ти на огромный отель. Рядом течёт река, от которой периодически пахнет гавном, так они ещё и водой из этой реки поливают территорию отеля. Уехав из этого отеля, мы с радостью обнаружили, что индийская еда может быть вкусной, работники приветливыми, отель и территория чистыми, а постельное бельё белым. Единственный плюс этого отеля - его месторасположение.

The entire place is gorgeous. Lovely trees/ plants and statues that give it such a nice vibe. Staff is super efficient. Bfast buffet was brilliantly ***aged with such large numbers and typical Indian habits or showing up late- but staff did its best to accommodate respectfully. Sejal, Rahul and other staff at breakfast were phenomenal to cater to most needs and being friendly at all times. Highly recommend Riva for next family holidays!!

A great place to relax great food good pricing & service the staff is attentive & do the need full quickly the only issue is location is for from baga & other live beaches but you can get a taxi which is available on the entrance but you need to nbargain price with them Over all a good resort at this price
