Riva Beach Resort

We stayed for 6 nights and the location couldn’t get any better. On the doorstep to Mandrem 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 mandrem beach and we ordered from a place called mandrem 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 rooms are really nice and bigger is size! The view from room is really Fantastic! The pool view and the beach! The gardens are really full of various plantations! Staying here have a good time! The floor supervisor @Gauri is really helpful and caring also front office team special thanks to Shivam and Natasha and Avinash The floor attendant Laurence is also very supportive and it’s great staying here!❤️

Beautiful resort and has a private beach access..Food was excellent and service by F&B Manager Franzilo was very good. We coordinated with Mr. Jaronieam Rodrigues for booking the rooms for our Official Offsite and he assisted us with everything.

A perfect luxurious staycation at North Goa at mandrem beach. Great hospitality, humble staff breathtaking beautiful river view and beach at walkable distance make this property value for money spot. Clean room and fast service. A good spread in complimentary breakfast ***** with room booking. So many places are aesthetically beautiful to take pictures. Overall nice n can be recommended to friends.

One of the worst experiences I ever had. Right from dripping water in the dining area, with broken chairs, unpainted walls, termite infected rooms, unclean floor and washroom, claustrophobic rooms, you name it and Riva Beach Resort has it on offer for you...Uploaded some photos for your-self assessment. I have nothing more to say..

It was a wonderful stay at Riva beach resort. All went well, nothing to highlight as cons. The only possible point can be the price of the food. Slightly on the higher side but quality is really good. If someone is looking a stay in Mandrem, i will definitely recommend. Extremely good room service 24*7. However, the location might be slightly off the typical north Goa vibe but you still have many things in close drive proximity. We loved the buffet especially with live music. However, just a small issue we faced is the wait time to get a table. Considering the accomodation capacity, the buffet area looks on a smaller size though it is actually quite big. Please reconsider adding another sub area to accomodate the buffet. It might reduce the wait time. Summary - must try property! No negatives that should change my mind.

I luv this place amazing environment well managed staff cleaniness is also good i spend there memorable moments of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Natural beaty beach is also good. Nyc food and facilities they provide is also good.
