Review of Riviera by Samantha on Apr 19th, 2021 - Back
Experienced a wonderful stay the Riveria last August, and cannot say enough about how luxurious the resort feels from the first step into it. Beautiful lobby upon entrance, and the resort property is equally amazing.
Similarly, the room design was perfect. We stayed in a one-bedroom, and it felt incredibly spacious. The two pull-out/down beds in the living area are easy and convenient to both use and store. Bathroom was absolutely beatiful - huge tub!
While we only used the main pool, other pools looked great as well. The waterslide is very fun, kids seemed to be having a blast. The location right on the water makes for a feel of an incredibly relaxing experience while sitting at the pool with the lake in the background.
Dining options were also amazing. Unfortunately, we did not get to try Topolina's but Primo Piatto was perfect, easy, and affordable. Additionally, Bar Riva was great for drinks by the pool. Le Petit Cafe was perfect for morning coffee and snacks.
I was also very impressed by the fitness options. The gym is convenient, very spacious, and very clean. Further, the Caribbean Beach Resort is walkable, and that made for a nice morning run path around the two resorts.
Of course, the Skyliner is a plus of the resort, but we didn't personally take it as we weren't going to either park it serves during our stay.
Overall, would absolutely love to stay at Riveria again, and cannot say enough good things! The only thing that it may be "missing" is more of the Disney-themed feel, but there are enough Mickey heads everywhere that it's not a huge problem.
