My Honeymoon”

Day 1 , check in was rapid. As instructed by me, decorations were there in my premium room. We liked the room very much. There was some pool party which i felt was way too loud and disturbing. Most of them were foreigners. But after 11pm the music was turned off. Day 2 3 4 were awesome. Housekeeping staff esp madhu was really helpful. Housekeepers were very courteous and professional. All staff greeted us well including guards restraunt people and other hotel staff. Location is very good. They have a private beach in mandrem. There is no noise and we enjoyed the company of each other watching sunsets in calm environment. Food was also delicious but costly. There are very less good restaurants nearby riva beach resort. I had hired a car which i used to travel to soilem to have veg food at navtara restaurant. Overall the ambience of resort is just awesome. I enjoyed my stay and will look forward to rebook if i visit goa again. :) My rating is 4.2/5

Awesome stay at Riva's”

This resort is splendid with awe struck view of sea and a lagoon separating the property and beach. Resort hosts many other facilities like kayaking cycles rides spa and etc . Hospitality is great with ultra cozy rooms and suites . Their food is awesome too. Breakfast is buffet arranged from 8-10am everyday and each food item on the menu tastes delicious and worth it. . Definitely a big thumbs up Agoda for giving great deal on this property and much more Thanks to Riva beach resort for hosting our stay in luxury.

Best Honeymoon Resort in North Goa”

Riva Beach Resort is a best place located in North Goa. Beach is 2 minutes walking distance from the Resort. Food was awesome here. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Staff was very humble and so helpful. Mr. Melvin front desk supervisor was such a helpful person. He helped me a lot with all the process during my stay. I would recommend this resort as much as it’s my own.

Excellent”

Riva beach resort was a value for money if you are looking for quite getaway from busy life, this is a perfect place to be in Goa. The location is faroff from the city life and thus makes it more comfortable stay. Food is awesome, Please do try their cheese naan. They do try to get some extra charges like if you break some crockery or misplace you keys they would be charging you very high for even nominal things. My overall experience was good. Would recommend a stay here

very happy and satisfied.. 5stars..”

First of all, the Agoda "app" is troublesome, dont rely on it as far as dates r concerned.i booked a stay for 24-26th, the app showed me 23-25th (now while writing review, it shows my stay as 22-24). Out of all dis confusion,i rchd my destination 1 day prior, but the ppl here at Agoda are awesome n very co-operative.In a matter of minutes,Agoda managed with the hotel staff, n gave me d desired rooms a day in advance (n of course, compensated for the trouble too).. Abt the resort, it is simply amazing. best location, with crystal clear water on the beach; v less frequented, so less polluted. Premium suites are spacious,cozy n comfortable, n provide direct beach view. Swimming pool was js next to my suite n was v well-maintained. Restaurant serves decent food at reasonable prices. Staff is well-behaved n professional. Amenities are 5-star. The property is 1 of the best in Goa. Definitely recommend a stay here, at least 2-3 days, if not more.

Great week spent at Riva ”

Just came back from spending 6 nights at Riva and we loved it. The hotel grounds are really beautiful, lots of palm trees and a 2 min walk to the beach across a wooden bridge over a peaceful river. Our room was clean and modern, nice big bed and seating area inside along with a balcony which was perfect to sit out on in the early evening. The bathroom was a wet room with a waterfall shower - which was the only part of the room that looked a little tired but still perfectly functional. Lots of options at breakfast and they also had an omelette and crepe station - although on two mornings the station didn't have anyone serving which was disappointing. Perhaps we were arriving a little late, so would recommend going before 10am. I would say the only thing that upset us was the taxi's waiting outside of the hotel were pricey and they seemed to quote high compared to other taxi's we got in other parts of Goa.

Perfect Beach Resort to stay!”

This place is absolutely amazing..! The whole ambience, super tasty food, service and everyone working here have been really good.. Me and my husband were celebrating our Birthday (yes it's on the same day) and we were late in the night to reach resort restaurant but the staff were kind enough to serve everything we asked for.. Special mention to Ruvi and Simon who made our day by going out of their way to surprise us with dessert icecreams and a cake at very late hours..! It was a 5 star service..! We are overwhelmed with their affection.. Thanks a lot Riva Beach resort! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! ❤️

Beach-side party place”

Riva’s location is superb. It has both the river flowing right next to it and the beach beyond that. It’s a magnet for Russian party loving beach bohos it seems, which gave it a very Bali like vibe. That was a bit of a bonus- added fun. The rooms are functional,, neat and clean. I found the resort very safe, considering we had kids around. The parties though are a bit wild, I don’t recommend bringing kids to these parties. I wish Riva was a bit more eco-friendly. They are still giving single-use water bottles and their guests are littering the pristine beach with beer and and cigarette butts by the hundreds. No one cleaned the river bank for the 5 days that we were here. Staff was very pleasant and utterly non-judgemental. Breakfast spread is hearty if a little simple. Wi-fi is poor in the rooms. But overall, a fantastic beach resort, that I plan to revisit soon.

Amazing Riva!”

Mandrem is the best beach in Goa and Riva is one of the best places to stay to enjoy this treasure of a beach. We frequent this part of goa every year and prefer staying at Riva because of the relaxed environment, good food and friendly staff. That said, during a world wide pandemic, at the least you'd expect the staff to wear a mask atleast in the presence of the guests. There was no mask protocol followed, be it the house keeping or the room service or the restaurant staff or even the reception staff. It was like time traveling into a pre-covid Era. Anyway we had our mask on the entire time except on the beach because of the open space and the inevitable distance between people. Had an amazing holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, that is once we got past the initial no mask shock..

An Excellent Property to experience the beach side stay.”

It was a Family trip to Riva Beach Resort and was in fact my first stay at the property. We had a wonderful time. *Pros* - The Location and The Property (specially the Pool) - Food was Really Yummy - Neat and Tidy Rooms *Cons* - Slow Check-in - Intercom was not working - There could be some room/area for recreational activities like carrom/chess/etc. Overall i would recommend this place as a must stay to all and this is definitely going to be on my list for staying everytime i visit Goa.

Best Place to Stay in North Goa”

Riva Beach Resort is an Amazing place for Couples, Families, Group and solo Travelers. Few Steps away from Mandrem Beach. Good Options for Rooms with Sea View or Partial. Pool For Swimming. Lawn for Event or A Lovely Walk. Good Path ways to enjoy morning and night Walk. only have ground and first floor so no lift options. But if added to property will be better.

Excellent Stay and Location”

Riva Beach Resort is an excellent place to stay. The ambience and beach is really good. Food was excellent. Highly recommend the place for a family stay.

ravishing experience at riva :)”

The resort is exceptional. The facilities are fantastic and the location is beautiful. Beach is just a few steps away and many rooms even give a partial/total view of the sea. The rooms are very spacious however the prices are slightly on the higher side. The river side enclosures meant for sitting serve as perfect relaxing points. We would definitely prefer riva when we visit again and would recommend to all

Peaceful escape”

We were looking for a place to relax on the beach to unwind after our tour of India. We found it here at Riva Beach Resort. Good food, clean rooms, clean pool with a view of the beach.

Best Place for Couples to Enjoy Solitude by the Beach”

We went to this place at the end of July. The resort is about 2 mins walking distance from the beach and we made the best of this. The beach is very clean and well maintained. The hotel is also perfect- has a swimming pool and the cottages are beautiful. We got one with the sea view and the view is awesome- you can just sit in the balcony stare at the sea and have a fantastic time. There's a scooter rental service available right outside the hotel and they charge you about INR 250 a day which makes it really convenient to roam around Goa. Arambol beach is at a walking distance of about 30-45 minutes (around 3 KM I think)- the sunset there is awesome. The breakfast needs a little improvement though- it has both Indian and Western cuisines and the Western cuisine to me looked like they made available just for namesake. Overall it was a great experience!

Wonderful stay”

Had a wonderful time at Riva Beach resort. Resort is located slightly away from the city hustle and hence gurantees a peaceful stay. Beach is very clean and serene with little crowd. We loved the food there. The staff there is also very helpful. All in all a worthy stay... Would love to visit again

Beautifully located, almost perfect place”

We stayed at the beach cottage, with a bare minimum view of the sea. However, the cottage itself, and the porch in front of it, facing the beach, were excellent and quite spacious. Our stay here was very comfortable. Attention to a few things would have made it perfect: 1. There was construction work going on right next to our room which made loud noises throughout the day. Why it was being done during on-season is beyond my understanding. 2. There's an occasional power fluctuation that happens here when everything goes dark. 3. The plumbing can be much better - the hot water is not consistent and the shower was a pain to use. However, the resort itself and Mandrem beach make up for all this, and we were actually sad on the day we had to leave this resort and move to South Goa as a part of our pre-planned trip.

Excellent Stay!”

Stayed here for two nights in July. Although the resort is approximately 60 km from Dabolim airport, it is well worth the distance. Located in a very serene part of Goa, this is the perfect place to relax, contemplate and soak in the sun away from the hustle and crowds of Baga and Calingute. The resort sprawls across a huge property with excellent amenities. Mandrem beach is a 5 minute walk from the resort and is certainly one of the most peaceful beaches in Goa. The resort also offers activities such as kayaking to the residents.

A complete vacation”

Pros: Liked the resort and its location straight on a beach with exclusive kind of thing to the beach. The resort is complete one of a kind exclusive. Food is good for the value with lots of varieties. Chef is good in maintaining good food. Other activities like kayaking are lot entertaining. Reception staff is good too to handle most requirements Cons: The room service staff is not trained at managing services they have no knowledge of rooms location seldom deliver room service orders ar wrong places. The beach being exclusive to the resort, could add some more varieties for beach activities. With present facilities it is enjoyable for 3days 2 nights stay but if added more activities can be a complete week vacation package as it is far from Panajim/ Airport. The garden area of resort is not kept clean by the cleaning staff on daily basis. Housekeeping staff should inform room occupants before cleaning rooms in occupants absence in room.

Awesomatic Stay ”

The resort is in North part of Goa which is 40+ KM from Airport which takes quite a bit of travel. But it’s worth travelling. The staffs were well behaved and welcoming. I would highly recommend this resort for couple stay. Since the location is very nice for a honeymoon stay. Breathtaking view of backwater is the reason I booked the resort. They also provide free wifi and complimentary breakfast which is wonderful mix of western northern and South Indian food. Stay is bit expensive but it’s worth and wonderful. Resort is located in a calm and peaceful location and very very near to beach. Overall the stay is wonderful.
