Riverside Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a lovely place to spend a few days very clean and well decorated hotel. Room and bathroom were very clean with a bath tub for me and a shower for my lady. Always a good thing. However, we thought that the bed was a little to hard for us. We never ran out of clean towels as staff must have replaced them every time we were out. Talking of staff, all were lovely and welcoming. Reception staff were very helpful with all of the information I kept asking them. Breakfast staff were very pleasant and attentive. My lady had the cooked breakfast for a couple of days which she said was excellent. I just had cereal and fruit every morning which was my usual. Bowls could have been bigger so I did not need to go back so often though. I loved the beer but my lady never said what she thought about her Chardonnay. She did however take a shine to one of the male barmen and kept asking for him to serve her. Did not get his name. A couple of things that I had issues with. Room doors would not close quietly you had to pull them a bit harder to slam them. So, late at night and early in the mornings all you heard were other guests slamming doors. Toilet paper was WAY TO THIN meaning we had to fold it a number of times to use it. My lady was complaining that there was no full length mirror or an electric socket next to the bed as she likes to listen to Siri on her phone during the night. Of course it would have been good for me to plug an alarm. Lovely stay though."

"The property was beautiful and the men who work there were unbelievably helpful. I arrived hours before my check-in time because of my flight and only had to pay a very small fee for early check-in. The room was gorgeous and very clean. There was an informational welcome packet as well as a booklet with things to do in the area."

"A lovely resort. We were only there for two nights so we stayed in the hotel. The property is lovely to wander around and we took advantage of the outdoor patios. Each floor had a washing machine and dryer, also equipped with an ice maker and sink. It was unclear at the time if we had to pay for the use of the pool (we didn't), but it seems to be based on what package you've purchased. We ate at the Cruize restaurant on site and everyone loved their dishes! Would definitely recommend!"
