The Riverview Resort - Chiplun is an ideal location for leisure as well as for small conferences. Away by 250 kms from Mumbai (approx. 5 hour drive), 230 kms from Pune & 330 kms from Goa. Resort is perched atop a beautifully landscaped hill overlooking the valley with great views of the river & western ghats. Pristine setting of peace and tranquility with 37 spacious family rooms (Deluxe & Superior category) that give you a home away from home feeling. This is a place to be with nature, to brainstorm, to alienate oneself from the frantic city life by enjoying nature's bounty and being able to think ahead with an uncluttered mind. Great ambiance and environment to invigorate and rejuvenate your human resources.

Detailed Reviews
Our group was told, one year ago, that we couldn’t book as the hotel was closed for refurbishment. Upon arriving at the hotel this year there was no evidence of anything having been done apart from a loss of part of the garden, below the pool, presumably to make way for the highway being updated.
The rooms and bathrooms were almost the same as they were when I stayed 3 years ago just even more tired and in need of refurb than they were then.
The channels on the TV didn’t work, some of our group had rooms with virtually no lighting, though there are so many switches they admitted it could have been, in part, down to confusion.
Food on the whole was very good, though the staff were very polite and helpful, service was very slow at times, especially by the pool. Some kind of call system, for service for food and drinks at the pool side, would very very useful as it could be a very long time before any staff appeared.
The hotel does need to get some decent coffee in the restaurant, sachets of instant coffee are (just) acceptable on the room drinks tray but you would not expect to need to take your own french press with you to breakfast to get a decent brew.

Place is on the Mumbai-Goa highway and used to be a Taj Property till 2003. It is still maintained decently and the staff is both prompt and polite. It offers you some of the best views of the forest, city and river all at same time. Although with the widening of highway they have lost some of the garden space but it's still a large property for a weekend getaway. They have a swimming pool, garden, board games, and table tennis table. They have an infant area as well but it needs renovation. Restaurant rates are a bit expensive compared to the city but I suspect intention is to give a premium feel. You need to have a vehicle to move around in the city to try different cuisine and frankly there is not much to see around so rather you should laze around and unwind.

The lobby area, green spaces and surrounding are spacious. The evening river & nature view from lobby as well as from room Balcony are serene. This is not a crowded place and hence one observes silent ambiance. Only disappointment in Room was old model TV set. Evening walk around temple and hillside roads is pleasant experience.

Despite numerous adverts that this hotel has been refurbished the truth is it hasn’t. Was here 3 years ago and nothing has changed in fact it’s got worse. Furniture in need of repair. Rooms look tired and worn. No lifeguard at pool at any time. Poor service at pool have to wait a long time to order drinks and food. Should have a better method to contact staff. WiFi reception very poor. None available in rooms only in reception area. Won’t visit this hotel again until it improves and actually does the refurbishment.

The Riverview resort is located on National Highway 66 which connects Goa and Mumbai. It's the best place to stay if you have work in Ratnagiri or Chiplun.
The drive up to the resort is good from the highway and the approach to the resort is great too.
The lobby area is also good with a piano kept at one corner and a library in the other.
The problem area are the rooms. Old fashioned rooms with dilapidated fittings and ancient noisy window air-conditioners. And antique CRT TVs! Leaving that aside, the restaurant further down is great with a super view of the ratnagiri valley below.
The breakfast isn't that good but we had dinner out on the lawns which was made really well.
The staff is good and make up for the lack of bad amenities. The gym is also in a bad condition. Do not try the treadmill as they are accident prone.

The views of the river are amazing and the gardens and swimming pool is are also nice. The rooms and amenities are dated and badly need to to have some money spent on them. The room we got - the wash basin was badly chipped, the toilet seat rubbers pads were missing. The bathroom fittings would not look out of place in the 1980s.The air conditioning was noisy but did not bother to have the room changed as was told that the property was fully booked at the time of check-in The buffet is OK but not value for money . If you are driving to the property and will be using a Car GPS then the coordinates are 73.5016E 17.5607N which will take you to the main gate. The staff are friendly and make up for the rest.

Hello,
I have not stayed at the Riverview Resort, but my family has in the past.
I tried booking for my wedding anniversary and was in touch with Vijaya and Alpana. The booking effort and experience was very poor, rude. The entire experience was horrible and reeked of arrogance and no courtesy.
I have decided to not spend my precious occasion here, neither will I hold my corporate events and will also tell my friends and relatives of the bitter experience.

Response from The_Riverview_Resort, General Manager at The Riverview Resort - Chiplun
Responded 1 Aug 2014
Dear Mr. Bhadesh Gala, Thank you for your valuable feedback. As rightly mentioned by you that your family member had stayed at our resort in past hence we are sure that they were pleased by our resort's hospitality. That's why you chose to celebrate your special occasion (wedding anniversary) at our resort. You had inquired for your travel date from 17th to 20th February, 2014. As a revert to your query we extended our 15% discounts on our already discounted 3 night's package. Since it was your anniversary, We had also offered complimentary cake & candle light dinner at indoor / outdoor venue (weather permits). After our several verbal discussion & written communication we had revised the price & had extended our final offer of 25% discount, which you still found non satisfactory. Being in hospitality industry we have management policy of extending discounts to certain percentage only. However, after offering extended discounts & complimentary you had reduced your stay duration & demanded further discounts which was not possible as it was a loss of revenue for us by your short stay. We had exchanged multiple emails & done ample telephonic conversations where you claimed that we were rude & unprofessional, if this would have been the case than we would have cancelled your booking as well as called-off the discounts offered for your booking. But we did not do either of it & responded all your harsh & threatening emails in a professional manner because our company believes that every guest is very very important for our business. As per our last last email dated 24th January, 2014, We look forward to your stay at our resort so that you could personally experience our hospitality. Thanking you, Alpana Chauhan General Manager - Sales & Marketing

Road is motor able but let of work going on for widening and 4 laning.
The Bombay-Goa national highway is currently undergoing conversion into a bifurcated multi- lane highway. So it is under repairs for about 50 km. stretch. Also, Panvel - Alibaug (Wadkhal Nala) section has heavy traffic.
I suggest you drive out early morning to cover this part when the traffic is low.
Past Pholadpur the road is excellent.
Hope this helps
