We have just returned from a weeks stay at this hotel. We did a cheap offer that included half board. The accommodation, gardens, pools and staff were all very good. The food was terrible. I would go again but on a self catering basis. The hotel bus did a daily trip to a private beach that was well kept and... More

After a period of illness it was two years since our last stay at Riverside. It is obvious that a lot of money is being spent on the external appearance of the villas. We have always in the past stayed on a self catering basis as we would normally stay for a few months. Any shortcomings in the facilities were... More

The Riverside is in Northern Cyprus so the issue with flights being non direct is a little off putting. The price we paid was excellent and I must always remember this as I write. 4 hour flight then 45 mins on the ground in Turkey before a 45 min flight to Ercan. All went smoothly but we arrived at the... More

We stayed here for two weeks in April to escape the English winter. We changed our accommodation from a two level villa to a single level bungalow which suited us much better. Resort had a nice family friendly feel to it and was in spring blossom. There were quite a few workmen around getting the place ship-shape for the season... More

Had a really good deal but booked on the strength of over enthuastic tripadvisor reviews. Trying to be objective I would rate the key areas as follows:- Room - Meant to be a villa but changed on arrival to room 105 up some winding steps. Basic but clean, painted very bright pink and pale blue. The split level villas near... More

Just back having spent last two weeks of April 2013 at resort. Our accommodation was clean and very spacious located just beyond the restaurant. We had a large lounge, two double bedrooms and nice bathroom and shower. There were balconys at front back and side overlooking mountains and sea.

We stayed here in April and had the free halfboard included. For the money paid for this week no one could really complain. The rooms are basic and dated and everybody was moaning about there room, toilets not working showers not working etc... All our problems i have to say were resolved quickly. The staff on site are all wonderful... More
