Two nights in Batti
Pros:

We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the surroundings. We stayed in a well equipped tree bungalow just a few meters from the lagoon. Loved walking on wood. The food was really tasty and it was really nice being able to sit outside the bar as it was really ”cool off- season days”. The staff was really hospitable and welcoming. Good location within walking distance to ”everything”. We walked everywhere around Batti.

We didn’t stay
Pros:

We didn’t stay as our room was not ready and they gave us a cheaper room saying it was an upgrade . We asked for the correct room but they made us wait two hours and we don’t believe the room would have become available

Cons:

There was a pool but very damaged - shame
The bathroom was very old , mosquitoes everywhere, huge gaps under doors- not the room we booked - management at front desk were not helpful so we left without staying .

Tolle Lage, eher für Gruppen
Pros:

schöne lage direkt am fluss. erholsamer, gepflegter poolbereich. das personal ist herzlich und sehr zuvorkommend. feines essen.

Cons:

als individualreisende und oft einzige gäste im restaurant haben wir uns im auf events und veranstaltungen ausgerichteten hotel etwas fehl am platz gefühlt. alternativen für verpflegung sind in batti noch eher rar. die angebotenen mietfahräder sind in desolatem zustand, zweimal endeten ausflüge mit platten reifen.

Peaceful and relaxing place to spend a few days.
Pros:

This was my second stay at the Riviera Resort. I like the location, which is quiet and peaceful. There is a large pool and a spacious, new dining area. The staff are outstanding and always willing to help.

Cons:

The road leading to the hotel has a lot of potholes, so be aware if you are coming in a tuk-tuk or small car that it will be a bumpy ride for a couple of minutes.

Pros:

The location was good and they were able to help us swap to a room with a/c. It also had hot water!

Cons:

It was quite faded, for example, the poolside lounge cushions were all cracked. Also, their recent price increase for their singing fish trip made it too expensive for us.
