Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We just came back from a 4 day 5 night trip. We must say that we loved this place, I will definitely come back. The food was amazing, the staff super friendly, the pool was clean, we didn’t get to reserve the but one of the restaurants because everything was booked, but the buffet is amazing, all the food was amazing. The only reason I do not give this place a 5 star review is because we did have to walk a lot, they only have one little bus going back and fort but it takes a while to pick you up. I dont mind the walk, but with kids it gets tiring. Also our last night, for some reason, our bracelets would not open our room door, all of them got deactivated, so I have to walk all the way to the lobby to get it activated and then told me it was activated and when I got there, I couldn’t open the door. Those are the only issues we had, but overall great experience"
