I stay here every year in May and it is always a treat. Very convenient to get to the beach, Excellent service, and well taken care of. Plenty of things to do nearby with Doheny State Beach, plenty of restaurants, and entertainment - there's always something going on -somewhere nearby.

I hadn't stayed here before, and I was taking a risk since my girlfriend from Seattle was flying in to be with me. As soon as we entered and she saw the unit and the view of the ocean she blurted out "I love it!" We only spent two nights, but they were wonderful, the place was clean, the staff... More

Nice two bedroom/two bath unit with kitchen, dining, and living areas. But you can hear everything in the units around you. People talking, moving chairs, running a shower, open/close doors, etc. Stay here if you are a sound sleeper or if you party till 4am (you'll keep everyone else up, but you'll be fine). The units were very nice, but... More

I needed an affordable place to stay while on business, and this fit the bill. It was definitely an interesting mix of amenities and services. It was clear tha most guests were vacationing, which was fine. The front of the hotel has a lovely view of the ocean, while the back looks at a wall of dirt. The downside to... More

Would have been perfect if Amtrak and Metrolink trains didn't roar thru every few hours especially at 6am. Beach was very rocky and need to cross over highway via a walkway about 2 blocks away. Staff was pleasant but not overly so. Lots of road noise from traffic. Easy ride to Dana Point which was scenic quiet and peaceful.

We stayed at the Riviera Shores May 18 - 20, 2012 while attending the Doheney Blues Festival. There is a pedestrian overpass nearby which takes you over the Pacific Coast highway and the railway to the beach. The Blues Fest provided a complimentary shuttle service to the Festival which was a couple of miles away. We were on the fourth... More

Our anniversary was in April, so my husband booked a surprise retreat to this resort. We stayed in the one bedroom. We had been here before about 2 yrs. ago. Since then I noticed they have done a few upgrades. They updated the kitchen cabinets and appliances and they updated the bedroom mattresses and bedspreads to a more comfortable &... More

We had a free timeshare week with Trading Places Int'l in Laguna Niguel. They found an opening in this resort for us. It was a 1 bedroom, nice large bathroom and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything one might need. The lanai was nice to sit on at night with a cocktail and coffee in the morning. There was...

The location of the resort it self is very close to the beach and the crossing bridge. The room is spacious and CLEAN, which is very important to us. We stayed there for a week, and we have every tool we need to cook in the kitchen. They also have an electric BBQ on the patio of each unit facing... More
