I had an incredible time at the hotel, enjoying a fantastic location with easy access to the beach and all necessary amenities nearby. The room was spacious and well-cleaned, making my stay comfortable. While the service was mostly great, there were a few moments of uncertainty with newer staff. The only downside was the noise from the road, which was a bit disruptive at times. Overall, I would definitely recommend it for a beach getaway, especially with family.

My stay at the Golden Riviera was truly wonderful! Everything was well-maintained and the apartments were spacious and clean. We loved being so close to the beach and having shops and cafés nearby.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. While the beachfront location and views were fantastic, I encountered some issues with the unit's decor and management. The staff was generally friendly, but the service during our last night left a lot to be desired. The amenities were decent, making for a reasonably priced stay, but I don't think I'll be returning after the way we were treated.

Rooms

The unit was roomy enough for my family, complete with a great kitchen for preparing meals and snacks for the kids. However, the vertical blinds were quite poor, making it hard to block out the morning sun, and the decor felt dated.

While some staff were friendly and welcoming, our experience was marred when the caretakers knocked on our door late at night for payment, which felt inappropriate.
