Mixed Feelings

The location of this hotel is awesome. Right across the street from the beach. Met Ellen at the mini mart on site who signed out bikes for us and gave us lots of good tips for exploring the area! Our 2 bedroom unit was absolutely huge and well appointed! Flat screen TV's in…

The resort is very good. Unfortunately, the Diamond management is not.

The front desk supervisor, Elisabeth, is very good and accommodating. We had problems both last Christmas 2017/New Years 2018 week and different problems this Christmas 2018/New Years 2019 week and in both cases she helped us a lot. The rest of the local staff is also very…

Disappointed

We stayed in a 1 bedroom. The livingroom was higher than the rest of our room. The bathroom had NO storage at all. The livingroom furniture was old and warn out. The Metro train runs all day and night. The traffic was busy all day and into the night. This resort needs double…

After reading your review of the Riviera Beach Spa Resort, I'd like to know what resort on the beach you would recommend. I'm trying to plan a beach trip. Thanks!

I would probably do the Marriot !!!

Can you tell me what your kitchettes have in them & how big is the refrigerator?

Hello JWS44, Our units have fully equipped kitchens with a full size refrigerator. We hope this is of assistance.

Is there access to the beach?

There's better beach access at Doheney (sp?) State Park in Dana Point.

Is your pool heated and do you have any 2 bedroom units that look at the ocean?

I believe the pool is heated. You need to check with the resort. I know many of the 2 bedrooms in the rear face a dirt mountain or retaining wall. There is really no view at all in the rear of the building. You MUST ask for a 2 bedroom in the front facing the ocean.

What time does the train stop honking at night

Hello Frank M, Typically, the last train stops by at midnight. We have not heard the train horn, they usually just pass by.
