Riviera Beach Hotel & SPA

We initially planned to stay at Riviera two weeks, starting at the end of August, but ended up staying for almost a month. Overall we had an excellent time. The views are fantastic, and every room overlooks the glittering pools and beach and the Black Sea, and at night it is very peaceful listening to the waves rolling along the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially as we got to know them more personally during our stay. The restaurant was a great pleasure, featuring several main courses (generally chicken, sausages, etc.), pasta, a salad bar, a full desert bar, ice cream, etc. Breakfast was not our favorite, and we generally only had coffee or a light breakfast in the morning, but we very much looked forward to lunch and dinner. The spacious swimming pools were great fun, and there is also a sizeable indoor pool for use during inclement weather. Doughnuts and drinks were served poolside, though cocktail selection was limited. The gym is small and gets a bit hot in the sun. The animation (i.e. activities) team was excellent, especially for us since they provided activities and child care for our daughter several hours a day. At night there were also music, dance, and other activities. Room cleaning did not happen every day, but was thorough and friendly and certainly frequent enough. The location is excellent. Riviera has its own beach and forested property, and we walked through the paths to the main Golden Sands beach festivities most days. We look forward to returning, and highly recommend.
