The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Food Variety

I had an incredible dining experience at the Welcom Riva restaurant. The breakfast buffet was very elaborate, offering a sumptuous spread with mouth-watering dishes. For lunch and dinner, the variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options was impressive. I particularly enjoyed the chicken kulambu, and the recommendations made by the staff regarding food selection were spot on. It definitely added to the luxury feeling of my stay.

Serene Poolside Bliss

The pool area at the resort was a highlight of my stay! It was impeccably clean and offered a relaxing atmosphere where I could unwind. I appreciated that it had minimal chlorine, making my swimming experience even more enjoyable. With beautiful views and cozy seating options, the pool is a perfect spot for leisure. I couldn't have asked for a better place to relax and soak up the sun.

The resort's location is absolutely stunning, right by the beach, making it perfect for relaxation and fun. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the amenities are pretty good. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking and the service, while friendly, could have been more efficient. Overall, the value for money is decent, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, where the beach was just a short walk away, making it perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the ocean. The rooms were very spacious and provided all the comfort I needed. The staff was attentive and always ready to help, but the dining experience could have been improved with a wider variety of meals. The pool area was another highlight, providing a great place to relax. Overall, I found good value for what I paid, although the Wi-Fi fees felt a bit excessive.
