I loved the community spaces at this hotel and the tropical vibe. The "bamboo pool" was our favorite. Our room was small but comfortable and the balcony was nice. When I checked the sheets I did notice the mattress pad was not clean. It had debris and hair on it. Icky. I was too tired to complain and forgot about it. One other minus, the hotel advertised coffee in the lobby and that is non-existent. I asked and was rudely told they didn't have any. The front desk personnel was not friendly to other patrons asking other questions either. I messaged Expedia about the coffee and the response was it depends on "availability" which is a joke. The bar staff was also hit or miss as far as friendliness. It is a pretty property with a few missteps.

Staff was very rude at check-in for no reason no smile. It looked like it was a chore to get us in. We stayed at South Beach hotel last time two weeks ago. They charged $40 same as Riviera for parking the car, but they actually parked it for you. In this case they send you to a parking lot with no elevator had to park on the third floor and it was quite stinky. There was no amenities in the room other than a fridge no telephone no safe very very small. Could barely move the other issue in the morning Asked for one hour delay so I could put the suitcase in the car. Of course they won't give that to you unless you pay $25 an hour check-in is at 4 PM. Check out is at 11 AM. That's a little bit unfair in my opinion overall, I think there are many better options

Great stay ! My family had the queen suite which was nicely decorated. However the building is aging and it shows in some areas. I think more thorough cleaning would help with that. The pools are not big pools but I loved the size and the rooftop was amazing. The staff were super friendly. I didnt like that our room didn’t get cleaned one night especially after I left a message about the cleanliness of the room. It’s wasn’t filthy however soap scum and water stains were visible , and the bathroom door kept getting stuck. The light fixtures in the bathroom had visible dust buildup and we had 2 cockroaches visit . The beds were super comfy! The tvs are older models so not much is on and they aren’t WiFi TVs. The beach was a block down , the location was close to everything and easy to find. I wouldn’t stay here again only because I’m a hotel snob. But this hotel is Beautifully decorated .
