Admission: - $30 Pool Temps (3): - Hot (Jacuzzi)(107°F) - Warm (Jacuzzi)(104°F) - Cold Plunge (58°F) Body Scrub: $40 + Admission Overall Impression: When I first reviewed this place 11 years ago, I gave it a 3/5, as the offerings and condition were reasonable for the $15 price at the time. I'm dropping it down to 2 now, because the condition of the facility has only decreased since then, while the price has doubled. They should either drop the price down to $20, or put some money into renovations which it desperately needs. When WiSpa is $40, this place just can't justify charging $30. One other oddity I experienced - I got a body scrub on this most recent visit and the guy who did the scrub demanded a tip right after the service, before I was ready to leave. I told him I needed to dry off and he insisted I walk into the locker room dripping water all over the floor to get him a tip. I thought maybe his shift was over and he wanted it before he left, but no.... he was still there 40 mins later when I was done and ready to leave. Very odd and annoying interaction.

While I…read moream still arguing that my landlord owes me some compensation for 10days of not being able to use, I decided to come as my kids needed to bathe. Each evening started with shower to clean ourselves and get in the warm bath. Then go into the hot. Finally to get in the shock bath. Felt really good. Kids had a blast as it was very big and acted like a swimming pool. I even am considering the 10 day pack as even if my place has bath, its relaxing to be here. The people are nice and the free items to uses--razor, tooth brushes, etc. are great. The food I have tried before but we brought our own as we knew one day would be closed due to time and another because we didnt want to eat what was on the menu except for a mango milk shake, which we bought. We'll be back.

It's a little closer drive from Long Beach and since gas it's crazy expensive, that's a win for me! The place was super clean, well organized, and labeled. I spent a few hours in the women's only area going back and forth between the hot tubs, cold plunge and wet and dry saunas. My muscles feel super happy! After I have myself a good scrub I got dressed and made my way down to the co-ed portion. There I found a good spot to plop my mat down and work on a paper since it is finals week for me. After that I made my way to the cafeteria for some Spicy Beef Noodle soup. I was surprised at the price tag--$20 for a bowl, but the portion and especially the taste justified it. Definitely ok for a once in a while treat! I ended my 6 hour spa day with sitting outside and working some more on homework before calling it quits. Overall, Riviera is such a gem. $30 for a spa pass to soak, sweat and eat your stress away, will always be worth it in my book. Can't wait to be back soon. :)

I especially have LOTS of pain in my lower back and legs, whereas the guys seem to care most tension in their upper body. I was able to convey this to the owner via text and asked for deep tissue for all three of us. They are very flexible with their timing and you can really switch up based off of what you need (example: I asked for 15min feet instead of the 30 for the 30-90 package) The interior is very soothing with music playing over the speakers with sounds of rushing water. There are bo private rooms, it is all separated via curtains but I did not see any gaps and did not feel uncomfortable at any time. You will have to undress until you are in just your bottom underwear, this is pretty standard for most massage places so please be aware of that. They have a small table for you to put your belongings in the same room you will receive your massage. When the lady came in it was pretty obvious she wasn't able to speak english all too well. But she was very kind and soft spoken and checked in with me multiple times throughout the massage. This massage was very upper body focused so please expect them to focus on your neck and upper back. Personally, my masseuse was extremely strong and I felt like she was breaking my back (in a good way). She uses her whole body to apply pressure and I felt many knots in my neck being worked. However, the only reason I give this place 4 stars is because I specifically requested for my lower back and my legs with the owner and with the masseuse multiple times but I don't feel this request was met. I explained my main problem area was my lower back and she spent maybe 5-10minutes of the entire 90minute massage in that area which disappointed me. I am a 5'2" and 115lbs girl so for me, she felt quite strong and I actually had to ask her for a bit more softness. However, the boys told me their masseuses felt way too gentle and they wished they could've been rougher. There are only female masseuses here so if you are hoping for a stronger touch, you may need to look elsewhere. The ladies are extremely skilled but I do think on a larger body they may fall a little short on power. Overall the experience was nice and I would definitely come here again just based off the price! However, I hope they will be a little more accommodating as it seems they just give most people the same massage routine.

For the record: All the massage therapists get 5 stars they're amazing…read more I try not to do bad reviews often but i am so frustrated at this point i am going to try to cancel my membership early My fiance and i received gift cards for our birthdays for here and we received a text that they were doing 20% off an 80 min massage this weekend so we booked it thinking it would be a perfect time to use the gift card. After the appointment, the same woman in the front was checking us out and i mentioned we had gift cards we wanted to use for our services and wanted to also make sure the promotion was applied. She said ok and that she would send me the receipt. Nervous to leave, we lingered to wait for the receipt but she continued to say she would send it. On my way home i received a call saying she needed my credit card information so i gave it to her over the phone. I checked my email and saw my receipt. I was charged nearly double what we should've paid. I called back and she said that we cannot use gift cards on massages that have the discount. MIND YOU, she called and also never stated this knowing we had already spoken regarding the promotion. I called again after rereading the promotion i received and there is no word or statement saying i couldn't use a gift card for part of my payment. I have never even heard of this concept especially that a gift card is still a form of payment. She said i could talk with management and she'll give them my info. At this point i dont even know what to believe. I'm in so much disbelief at my experience. I truly love everything else and the massage therapists are amazing but my experience with the front has been a nightmare and i can't keep coming knowing it's like this every time which leaves me torn. I sent an email in hopes i hear back but definitely need to start looking for somewhere new to go after this.
