Riva Beach

You're going here for a quieter sun bathing time than you would have on kite beach or anywhere else. The water is dirty and has jellyfish so forget about swimming, The heated pool is your rescue. Its especially great if you're with kids. You should be there around 9: 30 otherwise all the best spots on the beach are gone. Don't forget 20% discount when paying for food and drinks, your waiters always will.

Average beach club, the oil they fry the food was probably old as the smell was unbelievable…. The place needs to be refurbished

Lovely day yesterday for ladies day, very relaxed and chilled. Food and drinks lovely and reasonably priced, only reason I’m not giving 5 star is because the pool is absolutely freezing

Entrance 265 Aed for 1 adult and 1 child. You can use sun loungers by the sea, swimming pool.
Food/drinks are not included, this is for a fee.

The bottom is muddy!

Can be a bit crowded, the stand up paddle boarding is excellent however as the sea is almost perfectly flat.

We visited Riva beachclub during our stay at the Mövenpick Ibn Batutta hotel. Great place, not too loud, calm water. Only thing you have to be aware of is that the building is so tall that it makes shadow on the beach in the afternoon.

Cozy place where you can enjoy with all family! Food was delicious specially pizza) highly recommended to all my friends!

Chill atmosphere and great view. Perfect if you are looking for a cheap beach club in Dubai. Food is nice and waiters are nice and really helpful especially Alex. Only thing is the kids running around all day as it’s a family resort and the sun gone around 3: 30 in the afternoon due to the building being super tall!

Need new kids chairs as they are filthy, service is slow and they dont listen (cr@p). Other than that lovely and great spot.

If you visit the riva for the beach its nice place to relax, get tanned, shower, sauna and bathrooms also good restaurants. They give towels & if you stay at the hotel there is a reserved area for the residents also they have special rate for couples. Please like if you find this helpful & thanks:)

I honestly don’t know how this place got 4 stars. Staff ratings? Extremely slow service, clueless staff, about 5 waiters asking the same questions. Average food. Swimming pool is not maintained and is VERY dirty. Avoid.

Loved it - we did kayaking.i taught my sister how to do it, although it was my first time as well. Water is clear as crystal. Dead jellyfish everywhere.
I did a funny video trying to CPR a jellyfish, we still laugh at it, great times.

Not good.noisy, food portion too small, not delicious. Condition of payment so weird (u need to keep visa card prior eating!). Hospitality was ok

Great food and atmosphere but music is somewhat too loud for an afternoon relax at the beach - nonetheless a great bargain in Dubai that I would recommend to others

It was ok for a low key beach club. Get there early they loose the sun around 2pm due to the buildings blocking the sun.
