My room was facing the pool and river and it was huge ,clean and comfortable. Their buffet breakfast was delicious. I had dinner at the hotel and i must say their steak and pork ribs are to die for, delicious.
the place was under construction and there was a bit of noise now AND then, but not too much. The DSTV had only 3 channels and for me it was a bit boring, rather they do streaming channels( like Netflix)

The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful during our stay. The hotel porters were helpful and very friendly as well. The location is wonderful with views on the Vaal River and the Golf club next door. The Hotel gardens are beautifully kept and lends to a tranquil atmosphere. We had a boat ride on the river which was very relaxing and highly recommended. The restaurant staff are all very efficient and friendly and the food is good. Vusi at the restaurant walked the extra mile for us. We played Pitch and Putt next door at the Golf Club and was yet again, just like last year, treated wonderfully by Meshack. The parking area is very safe as a result of very competent and alert security staff.
Although our room was clean when we arrived, we had to ask for towels on our first day and on every other day afterwards. The room would be cleaned but the towels won't be replaced and sometime we also had to ask for toilet rolls and tea and milk and sugar! So much so, that we decided to buy our own. In my humble opinion I think the cleaning staff need better training. I actually mentioned this also last year after our visit (2023) and nothing has changed. This causes unnecessary frustration.

Hotel view is marvelous. The biggest bed I have ever seen. The bar staff and cleaning lady be blessed. There was a double payment with my credit card. Staff lady from accounts very professional she helped me and went all out to make sure I get my refund on the same day. I forgot her name but she is the reason I might come back
The breakfast was horrible. The mushrooms were sweet. The eggs not fresh. The wors full of cooking oil. On Wednesday 27 and Thurs 28 March 2024 we had the worst chef. The omelet was done by a beginner. It was my birthday celebration that was ruined. I regret moving from the previous resort.

The view of the vaal River was amazing, gardens were neat. Rooms were neat and tidy
There was only one lift working, we waited a while and to carry bags upstairs ourselves , pillows were too soft and old, clearly havent been changed in a while. There are other functions at the Riviera eg boat rides and church so parking is a definite issue as we couldnt get in the premises for 30min, weekends are problematic and no special parking for us guests that actually pay and i requested special parking.

Friendliness and helpfulness of resturant, reception and welcoming staff. I also like the beauty of facility. It is easy to locate ans near other facilities like malls. I knew the names of almost everyone at the reception when I arrived on Friday because they were so friendly and professional when the booking was done.
The disturbance of the maintenace staff especially on the last day of our stay. The check out time is 11h00 and getting a knock on the door at 10h00 it was a bit of a turn off for me. That says in not so many words it is time for me to vacate the premises. I had to call reception to confirm the check out time. I also did not like the noise coming from the next door neighbor. It was like they were shifting the furniture without lifting chairs.

I loved everything the resort had to offer. The view is stunning. I enjoyed the look and feel of the resturant and that in our room we had a basin and frigde. Also that we had water and coffee offered. We attended the show and that was out of the world. Enjoyed every minute. Liked that we had a aircon for the cold mornings. it really helps. The resort staff is friendly.
We would like to bring up the following: * The painting in the room did not match the room. * The head boards made a noise every time we turned around on the bed. * The shower water did not go out fast, it dam'd a bit. * Matthews Resturant offers poor quality food, We asked for toasted cheese and tomota sarmies, we got toasted bread and grated cheese and tomoto on a screwer. Cost us R 132.00. Tasted bad and not value for money. We did not even consider the breakfast. Also Staff at the Resturant are unfriendly or helpful. * Boat is lovely, need a little bit of variety on the lady drinks. * The phone did not work and on Saturday evening the fire alarm went off, we as the guest did not know what to do. I think that should be looked at as well as where is the fire extinguishes.

This was my 2nd visit to Riviera resort. The view and atmosphere will always be the reason why I come back. The reception ladies were very friendly and helpful, we took the standard double room not bad at all just a Lil bit old. Before I stayed in presidential suite very fashionable and modern. The best place to be. We were served by Vusi at dinner the only waiter that cares so far. Please thank him for us again
Restaurant restaurant, the bad service nothing improved a year later regarding the staff. Very slow or take your order and never return especially when u relaxing at the pool. But I saw alot of improvement at breakfast no longer dishing for us and the food was nice have give the credit to chef. Night dinner nightmare the meat(t.bone) was very dry and the fact that I was charged for gravy I still don't understand cos you can't serve rice dry. But otherwise I love the place just take the restaurant issue very serious
