I had a mixed experience at Princess Family Club Riviera. The hotel was huge and clean with plenty of pools and activities for the kiddos, but the quality of service was hit or miss, especially at the restaurants. Overall, I found it decent but not quite worth the price I paid.

I had a fantastic stay at Princess Family Club Riviera, especially enjoying the family-oriented amenities. The separate family buffet and pools were much quieter, making for a more enjoyable experience. However, the food quality at the buffet was quite average, and I had a slow response during a medical emergency, which was concerning.
