Beautiful Deluxe Resort
mxlovers (Angleton, Texas) on May 23, 2025
We loved our stay here. We were in a deluxe studio preferred view and it was wonderful, room 8830. Rooms were clean, quiet, and spacious. There was also a little fridge and microwave for you to use. The best perk about this room is the two showers. One big stand up shower and one was a tub/shower. Also ,another great perk is the skyline and the access to late night at the parks. Would stay again.
Understated Disney Magic
flyingbean (Olney, Maryland) on May 21, 2025
My family and I spent 3 nights at the Riviera Resort, and really enjoyed it! My kids are 16, 13 & 13, so we didn't need an over-the-top character experience. I was looking for upscale, convenient with a wink of Disney magic, and this place really delivered. The room was perfect for our family of 5, with 1 king bed, a double (or maybe queen?) Murphy bed, and then a single pull-down bed as well. We had plenty of space and everyone slept really comfortably. But my favorite part was the bathroom that had 2 showers, making it much more convenient to get ready with 2 teenage daughters! We got a room overlooking the lake, but we were so busy, that we never really got to enjoy the balcony or the view. We spent one whole day at the pool. There were plenty of seats, and I liked that we had a couple of eating options right there. The Bar Riva was a perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing beverage and a nice salad (plenty of other options too). Before our long Disney days we would head down and grab a quick bite before heading to the park. The Sky liner was a hit with all of us and made getting to Hollywood Studios and Epcot a breeze. We also used it to go to the boardwalk one night for dinner...it was just a fun easy way to get around honestly. Our day at Magic kingdom was also an easy bus ride away. I was nervous that there might be long waits or crowded buses, but there weren't. I'll admit, I'm not a huge Disney person and thought this would probably be the last trip to Disney, but I loved this hotel so much it's making me rethink how long it will be until we go back.
