I recently stayed at Riviera on Vaal and had mixed feelings about my experience. The location is absolutely stunning with gorgeous views of the river, which made for a lovely day. However, the dining situation really let things down, especially during our buffet meal that lacked variety and quality. The hotel has a charming, vintage feel, but it's clear that some updates are needed throughout. Overall, it's a picturesque spot but could definitely improve in certain areas.

I had high hopes for this hotel, given its previous reputation, but I was left disappointment. The rooms desperately need upgrading as they were outdated and had numerous issues, while the dining experience was certainly lacking in variety and quality. However, the location along the Vaal River is beautiful, and the cleanliness of the pool area stood out.

However, my family was disappointed by the buffet during our celebratory cruise, as the food lacked variety and quality. Overall, the hotel is nice but could use some improvements in dining options.

I had a lovely romantic weekend getaway at this hotel, and while the check-in process was smooth and the room was nicely prepared, the dining experience was a highlight, especially dinner by the pool. However, it was disappointing to encounter some issues with the room itself, which affected my overall impression. Despite these drawbacks, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff contributed positively to my stay.

My stay was quite mixed. The hotel's prime location near the Vaal River offers beautiful views, but the facilities are definitely in need of some upgrades. While the staff at the restaurant were friendly and the dining experience was enjoyable, I was disappointed with the overall service and the quality of the rooms, which also felt quite dated. There's potential here, but it just fell short in several areas.
