I stayed at Princess Family Club Riviera All Inclusive with my family, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The resort looked worn down, with visible damage around the beach, pool, and buildings. Our room was dusty, had stained walls and mattresses, and wasn’t properly cleaned before our arrival. We checked in at 3 PM, only to enter a dirty, smelly room. Thankfully, I brought cleaning supplies and requested new towels and pillowcases.
We were disappointed that room service wasn’t included, even though we paid for an all-inclusive package. Other resorts we’ve visited offer more flexibility, but here we were told we couldn’t bring food back to our room—an issue for my elderly mother who struggled with the long walks to breakfast.
Food lacked variety and flavor, especially for those avoiding pork and red meat. Drinks were watered down, and higher-quality alcohol had to be requested. Calling the front desk often took 3–4 tries. One staff member even questioned whether my sister was a guest, despite her wristband, which was unprofessional and frustrating.
Entertainment was limited, though the silent dance party was fun. We were constantly approached about buying into the resort chain, which became overwhelming. While we made the best of it as a family, I wouldn’t return or recommend it in its current condition. This resort has potential, but major improvements are needed.
