We were 3 friends -1 wk Getaway vacation
CHECK IN- we arrived at 1pm and got our bracelets right away to go eat and came back at 3pm got room key and our luggage was delivered within minutes. Staff friendly and always asking if everything
POOL/BEACH-always found a chair and a drink, what else can anyone need ? The pool had a place to get quick hotdog or burger and beach had connecting place to bar to sit down and eat, Nachos/burgers/ribs etc. I read reviews about seaweed and smells at beach and we did smell a bit of that on day after windy but nothing that is unbearable.
A-LA CARTES- we could do 5 in our week stay. We did 4- Miso” was awesome Japanese/oriental, Italian was great also and so was Steak-house, prime rib was terrific. I asked for well done and got it and everything was hot and tasty. We didn’t like Mexican, tacos were only thing good there.
BUFFET- finally a place no wait at omelette/ egg station. They make it just the way u want it. We mainly just had breakfast there cause spent day at beach or pool but always something to eat and no problems.
ROOMS- we were comfortable with 3 in room, balcony was nice and roomy,bathroom plenty of room with walkin shower and separate toilet. One night was after 11pm had problem with toilet, we called front desk and within 10 minutes someone was there and all fixed. We would tip housekeeping everyday and never had to worry about fridge full and room cleaned.
SHOWS- we went to a few, some were more for kids, others were good and something to do, but if we weren’t feeling it we would leave and go down to the bar and enjoy rest of night they would have a band or some type of music there to enjoy.
***we used the golf cart shuttle one night when it was raining instead of walking the 10mins to our room was great we waited 15mins but we didn’t mind we had a drink**
CONS- the only thing I didn’t like were all the cats along pathway to walk around and all the “coaties” raccoon like animals. They would go near pool and beach and take bags and food and be in garbage cans, they are out of control there a lot of people like them so feed them but I’m not into that***
STAFF- all the staff were super nice and helpful, all bartenders and waiters work so hard and go out of there way to help. No complaints.
Was a terrific resort and vacation with great friends,
Take all reviews with “grain of salt” I think that people who complain about stuff on here that something happens to set their vacation off on “wrong foot” and then the rest just snowballs from there. So just go and enjoy yourself, the sun the food the drinks, “Grand Riviera Princess” THANK YOU !!
