Second time I"ve stayed there. Despite the doors facing the outside, I feel safe and it's so clean and modern. Staff are generous and kind. The free breakfast is amazing. Robot coffee machine and waffles...and a breakfast steward to help you with anything you might need.

I regret to leave this slightly negative review here. On the last day before check-out, my room was not cleaned. One clerk explained that it was due to the system being down, while another told me they don’t offer cleaning the day before check-out. These inconsistent explanations were a bit confusing and frustrating. A manager assured me they would be in touch to resolve the issue, but unfortunately I haven't received the follow-up. I’m sorry to leave this message here, but I hope the hotel can work on improving its communication and service.

Staff were friendly & rooms clean. The beds weren’t the best and frames a little cheap. They made a lot of noise with any movement. There was night construction which was pretty loud from our room. The breakfast was decent and staff very attentive to the food and cleanliness.

This BW Riviera was a surprisingly awesome. Staff are wonderful and the room we had. Wow! Maybe just updating the bathroom but I report no negatives. I have been to many hotels around the world including overwater bungalow to wooden structure in Afghanistan and this was one place that I blurted "wow" It served our needs as far as location and this place was a delightful surprise. Will stay here over the other higher tier places. That coffee machine was the clutch though.
