Amazing view
Had a really good 4 night stay at Riley. Everyone was very helpful and tried their best to accomodate my request. Our view was fantastic and to die for. The robes could be better though. (Bit itchy to wear) Overall, I definitely recommend staying et Riley.

I loved the cleanliness of the rooms, the view of the pool from our room was brilliant. One thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of was there was no room service where you could order food. As the room isn’t self contained sometimes it would have been nice if you could order food directly to your room. Also paper crane restaurant was a little disappointing as being a part of the hotel and being an Asian infused restaurant I would have liked to of ordered a fried rice, but no fried rice on the menu. Other than that it’s quite a nice place to stay.

Right on the Esplanade, easy walk to the central areas with all the restaurants, the marina, etc - but far enough away that it's quieter, not as noisy.

Loved the location and the room. Beautiful pool. Lovely staff except for one Australian girl when checking in. Was rude to her colleague -and nudged her to move as she was checking us in and told us move over harshly. Being in hospitality ourselves was very shocked at her behaviour. Other than that was all perfect. I think people should be warned not to go out by yourself at night as our 22 year old son was walking to Woolworths at 8pm to be confronted by a gang of indigenous youths with knives on there belts. They pushed him and fortunately he is a fast runner he took off and they chased him. Police were roaming the area which stopped them. We were then warned by many locals about this happening. Foreign travellers especially need to know about the youth crime in the area.

Pool was in a great spot for the sun. Calypso bar lovely place to spend an afternoon. Only negative thing was the rooms ac . Couldnt set the temp below 21 and when reported to reception they did something on the computer at reception so the ac only went on full fan and full cooling ,so it would stay down to 14 deg .The service guy never showed up after requesting 3 times .
