1/5- do not recommend

We did not have a good stay at the Riviera Suites. We read reviews before going and decided to book a room for the night before and after our cruise, as it is close to the beach. The check-in process took a really long time. The staff were not friendly and were not helpful. The biggest complaint was that the elevator was down and we had to take the stairs to our 4th floor room. The stairwell smelled like dirty feet and body odor. Our room faced the bar/restaurant and it was SOOO loud at night. Our door did not shut itself, so we had to push it closed. The toilet was super loud and had a screaming sound coming from it. The shower door did not latch, so when we took a shower, the water ran out and onto the tile floor, making it slippery. The sink is on the outside of the toilet/shower area, so it was not sanitary to use the bathroom and open the door to go out and wash our hands. A couple of positives were that it was two blocks from the beach, the A/C worked really well and the main building/check-in smelled AMAZING!!!

Booked a room according to the pictures that are posted. Did not get what was expected, but got a completely different room. The room was stale and had a stench. Customer service was horrible. The worst I have ever experienced. Very disappointed.

Well let’s start here. When I arrived to this location I thought I was going to enjoy it like I have before. Wrong. When I was checking in as I gave the staff my ID she says oh we have two ppl here with your last name. I looked at her and said you have my ID. I was trying to surprise my boyfriend with my cousin and her boyfriend joining us on the trip. Then the lady called my cousin name out loud. As if that was called for so my boyfriend said oh that’s the surprise. I was pissed tf off. Then we had no hot water in the shower only in the sink. Then the elevator stop working 6/16/2025 I asked the lady at the front desk when will it be up and running again? She said we just called someone out to fix it. They must be coming from the island somewhere because when we left it still wasn’t working. Now I will say the location was nice , the food is great ,& they give you one free drink from 5/6 during happy hour. The staff at the front desk never apologized after I told her she ruined my surprise. So I was really disappointed with this location I will never visit it again.

Property friendly, had no ice machine but had ice buckets, booked for a balcony room, ended up without one, and heard the family above us all night long. Sounded like they were dragging furniture across the room and stomping. Hotel is clean though, staff was ok.

When I first arrived at the property it had a funny smell . When going into my room the smell got worse it smelled moldy and old . During the first day water was leaking from the ceiling onto the floor at night . During the second day I seen three roaches in my room. I informed room service and the receptionist in front in were I sent a picture to them . They said a deep cleaning would be done . I came back latter that night and the bed was fixed and cleaned but I still seen a roach . The next morning more water was dripping from the ceiling above onto the bathroom floor. I informed Expedia and the property and both did not refund me even with my pictures and videos of the issues I had . They gave me a free breakfast that I wasn’t able to even go to because of the time that wasn’t listed . Terrible experience all and all do not book !!!!!!!
