Overall, a fantastic experience in a stunning location. A beautiful, comfortable and stylish hotel that we would definit
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Marina Hotel. Almost everything was excellent. The setting is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by the lake and mountains, with the charming atmosphere of a small resort town. The hotel itself has a high-end feel, with stylish modern décor that blends perfectly with natural elements. The rooms are very comfortable, beautifully designed, and very well equipped.

Cons:

The only downside is that the hotel does not offer breakfast. However, this was not really an issue, as there are several very good cafés and restaurants within walking distance where you can enjoy breakfast.

A comfortable, clean stay in a beautiful location, with breakfast being the only missing amenity
Pros:

The rooms were great—clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The property is also in a beautiful location right on Big Bear Lake.

Cons:

Although there is a nice restaurant next to the hotel, there is no breakfast option available at the hotel. Having breakfast on-site would make the stay much more convenient, especially in the morning

Pros:

Right on the lake. Staff was exceptional. Our room’s A/C went out the night before. I was notified at 9AM the morning we were to check in. Unfortunately, there were no other rooms available, but we appreciated the notice before we were headed out. They were very accommodating and offered a full refund if we did not want to stay. We decided to stay anyway and fans were provided and the front desk was oh so helpful and pleasant. Planning on returning this weekend. Thank you!

Lakeside Bliss in the Heart of Big Bear
Pros:

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Marina Riviera for four nights in July and had a wonderful experience from start to finish.

The rooms were comfortable, quiet, and cozy — exactly what you want after a full day exploring the mountains. The highlight for us was the balcony, where we could sit and take in stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains at any time of day.

The hotel's amenities really added to the experience. Having the De La Nonna restaurant on-site was a treat — we loved being able to sit out on the deck for a meal or a drink without having to go anywhere. And in the evenings, relaxing by the fire pits with a cocktail in hand became a favorite ritual.

The staff deserve a special mention — every single person we encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel right at home.

As for location, it's hard to beat. Sitting right on the shore of Big Bear Lake is special enough, but the hotel is also just a short walk from Big Bear Lake Village, making it easy to explore shops, restaurants, and attractions without ever needing to get in the car.

Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay and the restaurant on site.
Pros:

I love how dog friendly Hotel Marina Riviera is! We ate dinner at the onsite restaurant which was so good and had a lovely view. We enjoyed the fireplaces and the pool area. The staff was very friendly. We would definitely return again.

Cons:

A couple sticky spots on refrigerator, bunk bed and our t.v. screen was dirty.
