We had a delightful family stay at Riviera Beach House! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and local restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Our room, though compact, had all the essentials and was designed thoughtfully to maximize space. Plus, the common areas were charming and inviting, which made our evenings enjoyable.

Had such a fun stay! The location is unbeatable, just a stroll to the beach 🍃. Rooms are cozy but a bit too snug for comfort. Valet parking is pricey, though. Overall, enjoyed my time!

Had an awesome time with friends! The location is perfect for visiting the Pavilion and checking out nearby music venues. While the rooms are cozy, they have a fantastic vibe. Just a heads up, parking is valet only and a bit on the pricey side.

Great Location and Friendly Staff

I really enjoyed my stay, especially since it was a short walk to the beach and the vibrant Funk Zone filled with cool spots to eat and drink. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I appreciated the complimentary bicycles for exploring. However, the room was quite small, making it a challenge to maneuver around my luggage.

tiny bathroom

Super clean and chic hotel with lovely terraces for the sunbathers. Free coffee bar and fresh fruit water made mornings delightful. Loved the cozy lobby vibe!

But honestly, I felt like I was rooming in a shoebox and the bathroom? Let’s just say it’s a surprise party waiting to happen.
