Riviera Resort in Batticaloa

Such a beautiful resort!! Everything was so perfect. Great pool and very family friendly.

The resort is now outdated. Rooms are very old. It may cause of drop down the tourist arrival due to COVID 19. However, cottage type rooms are now far away from the standards. No water bottles supplied to the room. No tea making facilities. If you need to iron your dress, you have to go to the laundry bit away from the room. However, the rooms at upstairs are comparatively ok. Meals are fine and staff are very friendly.

Lovely relaxing place. pool is divine setting. Everything is no trouble for the staff. Location is eco friendly resort with wildlife on your doorstep.

A good place to taste all the possible Batticaloa authentic foods and have a chill out with your friends in a natural outside environment near Batticaloa lagoon!

Great place to chill,good food

Best food in Batti (pittu and 🦀 curry)..but order in advance or be prepared to wait 1hr or more..

Well known place in Batticaloa. Atmosphere is very very good. But food is very bad. Not serve in correct time. Always telling verious reasons to hide their faults in food preparation. Go their; just order one lime juice ( If u are lucky you can get it in 30 mins; take walk with juice; Enjoy the atmos.

This hotel is so beautiful. Good views and natural environment. Nice food especially that puttu with squid curry I like that very much. The hospitality skill wad simply superb. Rooms and wash rooms are so clean and neat. But some things prices are so expensive. I would like to visit again this Riviera resort.

beautiful place located in Batticaloa near the kalladi Bridge. beautiful place situated in Batticaloa near the kalladi Bridge.

The food it’s very horrible and the service tooo bad. It took 2 hours to get the food it’s look like they go for shopping and buy the things and cooking if any one going with kids please do not go here I am not going to recommend this place for no one

Lovely Place with Good customer Service.Highly recommend this place if you visit Batticaloa.

Super resort, especially for food...!! Very calm place..!

Such an astounding place with a nice view, Highly recommend it for whoever needs to take a break from busy city lives. Very friendly staff with amazing hospitality .

The manager treats guests in a very biased or unusual manner. Those who would like to receive an ill treat please visit.

Nice place with river side breeze. Affordable price. Also a nice eco friendly spaces available here. Swimming pool also available. You can dine in or take away for delicious foods

Fantastic place to visit.good foods🥘good people we Ha spend time 3 nights with big group in the evening time we were spending time in front of the lagoon very nice sunset 🌆

Greenish resort.💚A good swimming pool available 👍Good customer relation 👌

Pretty good experience. We went around 10 30 but pre ordered the food. Later on we couldnt add anything because the kitchen was closed but the waitress was very kind. The manager looked kind of angry. This place is huge and you can walk around by the lake. They also have rooms where you can stay overnight. They also have yoga classes and a small park. Overall pretty decent experience. 👌

Wonderful place. Service os not 100%. Actually it is slower than other hotels around there. Foods are tastier.Best meal is Pittu and Crab curry.

Nice location , easy access, very helpfull and nice staff.Bit old rooms but very clean and tidy.it would be nice if they can renovate it a bit.( But with current economic crisis it wouldnt be that easy)On personal note, i mistakenly left a bag with my mobile in the room i stayied and i totally forgot it.They called me and kept my bag with them.. I should thank for your honestly beyond your service.

Everything was great at this hotel.. amazing staff that is friendly and makes customers feel welcome.Low cost, big property. Hope to comeagain

Nice and cozy place to rest at batticaloa facing the lagoon, And we had a crab curry with white rice which took our taste buds by storm !! Best crab we have tasted so far ! Hope you will gain even more Fame over the coming years !

I had been staying for 2 night and it was nice place. As staff was really helpful and friendly. And I should specially mention that the Hotel is situated in nice and Calm Environment which can relax our mind.Moreover, food was delicious.I strongly recommended this hotel for people those who Will to stay in Baticlo.Thank you for your service 😊 and Will to visit you Again.

We visited reveira couple of years ago and really like their services. The food was up to the mark and was so delicious. A must place to visit in Batti

One of the best hotels in Batticaloa with a breathtaking view. The food is tasty and the staff is very courteous and very helpful. Visited two times and hoping to make a third. Excellent

Had a very pleasant stay. Service is great. Accidentally left behind some camera gear. The items were kept safe until they were picked up. The rooms were clean and cosy (Lake view rooms).

Good atmosphere we can ask them to set up a table near to the lagoon side, the view is excellent. They do have swimming pool.

The rooms were really bad. The taps were not working the floor was filthy and the room smelt of paint. We have been here a couple of times before and the rooms were pretty good. The view is absolutely amazing, and the food was great which compensated for the bad rooms. The owner & the staff was apologetic for the bad experience we had with the rooms. Will probably give them another chance if we happen to go to Batticaloa again though.

Food is not good and hot. And we didnt get it on time also. Some places are look untidy. Service is good but have to make some imporvement.

Phone line is not working and hot water shower was broken . Food was ok, but took so long. friendly stuff but .need to focus on main requirements of guests.

Hotel Riviera is the one of the luxurious Hotel in Batticaloa , nice view specially the bridge view was just as amazing as their hotel ! The food was great as well and the staff were friendly too.Nice place to have an outdoor dinner. Also can consume liquor. But the price is high. hall is looking grand, The pools and the Rooms are very clean. Best place to chill out with friends

This is actually a nice hotel situated in a nice place. But the room services and other facilities in hotel like A/Cs were very bad. Simply, waste hotel in a nice place

To preface my review Id like to say that i didnt lodge in the rooms, so I wont include that.The resort is by the banks of the Kallady river. During the evening, a seemingly well designed area transforms into a picturesque fairy land. Reflections of the setting sun illude you into viewing a river of orange, the water hyacinths drifting about its surface, with benches to aid the experience.The tall trees, home of the eagle that has rested for decades at the resort, surround the paths connecting the area marvellously planned out to induce a mystifying feeling, as if you found yourself in the midst of a forest.And in this forest you find a homely lodge, with food from a plethora of cuisine to quench your culinary thirst. Id recommend the chicken sandwiches.To add to this, theres a pool too if you fancy yourself a dip.Overall a great place to go out for a family trip, or with friends.

Area is so hugeI think its more than 10 acresSuitable for shooting photos and videosSwimming pool also available - Suitable for kids

Peaceful environment with an amazing view of the lagoon + bridge.Good food with an authentic eastern touch.Satisfying service levels.

My Favourite place to go there &sit for awhile enjoying the view of Kallady bridge 🌉 with friends and family.Beautiful atmosphere with surrounded by nature. The maintenance well appreciated overall peaceful calming place for me in Batticaloa 🥰 Tidy swimming pool which can see the sea throughout 🏊🏻‍♀️ also Kids friendly🥰 Delicious & Fresh food especially seafood ☺️ Excellent service from staffs fully recommended place for who looking this kinda atmosphere 🍃 Keep it up guys 🙌🏻

I had lunch with some of my friends. The staff were very great and quality service, Its Calm and quiet place to sit back, relax and enjoy the most delicious food ,Love this place and will continue to visit.

Really a good place to visit and stay!Everything you see, eat and drink is natural and fresh! Today was my 1st visit! Those who love stay in a natural environment I strongly recommend Riviera Resort!Awesome place to spend time alone or with your loved ones! Very quiet and peaceful place!The food wooow no words to describe very very tasty especially the chicken biryani!The best place and the best resort in Batticaloa! I will give 10 starts if there is available! ❤️❤️❤️

Ample parking is available. Though the hotel is located at the end of a lane with Google it can be located. Arrow signs alongside the lane to ensure you are on the correct track were very helpful. We group of doctors ordered mud Crabs and it was fresh and delicious. But the main problem was the substandard service. We ordered at 8 PM and the meals were served around 10.30pm. In between we called the reception to check why the serving was delayed. There was no explanation or apology for the delay but the line was disconnected. Even at the end of our dinner there was no explanation given. They dont bother about feedback forms either. Maybe a good place for alcoholics to pass time and who doesnt bother about time. End of the day we decided not to go to this place anymore.

Decent hotel with decent rooms which have ample space inside and basic requirements.. no hot water or tea coffee in the rooms.. good place to stay if you are looking for something just to sleep and relax for a good price..Havnt tried food here so cant comment on that..

Its got such lovely home-ish vibes. The staff are very helpful and nice. Their Sri Lankan food is absolutely amazing. But the western cuisine dishes need improvement.

Perfect place for a night party. One of my friends arranged a wedding reception dinner here. Excellent quality of lighting and nice outdoor view with iconic Kallady bridge. Good quality of service. The way to reach the resort is little hard and narrow. If they improve that, it will be a best one in Batticaloa.

We had a Birthday party recently; The service was excellent. The management and the staff were very friendly with us. The food were superb. We ordered Pittu and String hoppers with a lot of curries. all the curries were very tasty and Delicious. I recommend this Riviera Resort for Eastern Food Lovers.

Riviera Resort is a wonderful and calm place for a vacation for a reasonable price. Youll get the nice view Kallady bridge as well. Rooms were clean and staff was really helpful. When it comes to food their one portion was more than enough for one person. Food quality was also good. Highly recommend for short vacations.

Loved staying at this place. Peaceful setting with gorgeous pool. Food freshly cooked. Staff lovely. Could have stayed longer. Priviledged to have met owners and seen the sea eagle nest. Easy and cheap to hire pushbike. Biked up to end of peninsula to see lighthouse and tsunami damage. Then biked into town to see fort. Thoroughly recommend a few nights at this place

Good atmosphere by the lagoon.. service was excellent. Stayed in the room which was converted from a container. Felt a bit small than a standard room but within a few hours I was really liking it. View from the room in the evening and morning was amazing. There was a pond by the room with rabbits and ducks. Highly recommended who loves nature and quality time.

Absolutely what you want after a long drive.. Refreshing tranquil surroundings and eco friendly resort sustainable living.. 🌟Staff were fantastic go out of their way for you and the pool is amazing.. Rooms are very clean and food is good.Beer is the best ❄ icy cold ever.Smiling and happy. You will never want to leave.. We spent 2 nights.. Thank you highly recommended

Beautiful grounds surround this hotel. Rooms are spread throughout and there are many trees and plants, providing shade and lots of places to sit and enjoy the scenery. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Pool is very nice too and refreshing. Some rooms a little worn down , but clean.

Its wise to start this way - The place was AWESOME.Located just near the Kallady bridge, the view was amazing. The place is crowded with trees and the breeze from the lagoon towards the resort was really chilling. We did not feel any heat and not at all tired.We stayed at the family cottage. Unlike in the photos, it was a small place but spacious enough to accommodate 5 people. 6 is too much. It had only one bathroom. So that was the only downside.The food is a whole new world there. We tried their Crab dish made in Baticaloa style. It was amazing and truly out of the world. It had a decent texture of coconut cream, with spices to their native taste. Never tasted crab that good. The other new dish that i tried was milk hoppers. Its not common so its a dish i would recommend. We did not go out to try any food, simply not wanting to risk spoiling our taste buds.The staff was very polite and helpful. The budget is really worth it. You wont think twice to visit the place again. This place deserves more than 5 stars.
