Lovely place...

Lovely place. They provide transport from Thandwe airport and then on arrival serve you a welcome drink of cool juice... the rooms are super clean with lovely wooden floors and furniture and big, comfortable beds. Also a kettle, coffee, tea, etc, and a safe big enough for a laptop. Breakfast was a big buffet and egg station, lots of options. It is about a 2-minute or less walk across the road to the beach and they have lot of sun loungers reserved for their guests on a lovely stretch of beach and the quieter end. And finally, great great staff. Everyone was unfailingly kind, helpful and efficient. Can't wait to go back.

Great place. Wonderful staff. Beach chairs are a huge plus and incentive; just 15 seconds from the beach by foot! All you have to do is cross the street. Room is a great value. Would absolutely return if back in Ngapali. Only thing that needs serious work is the WiFi. Poor signal in the room and requires a re-login every 30 min or so.

Affordable stay in a resorty place

The rate is affordable given that the area is resorty, but often I hear noises from outside. Only two mins of walk from the beach, but this part is toward the end of the beach and closer to the village, while I think the nicer part of the beach is around 1km away. No problem walking on those soft white sands in day time, but it also means you can't enjoy the benches there as those are exclusive to guests of other hotels. Well to be fair, River Top has its own on the beach too.

Beautiful bummer

I stayed in a great room and the breakfast was tasty, especially considering the reasonable price for that area... The hotel is close to several options for the beach, restaurants and shopping. Unfortunately, I experienced internet issues and staff communication problems (with both my arrival and departure) that cast a rather dark shadow on the memories of my time in Ngapali.

Nice stay at the Rivertop Lodge

Nice hotel not a the beach, but in a good area (good restaurantsclose to it) and the beach is just a 3min walk away. They have their own area at the beach with deck chairs. Rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Breakfast is good as well. Only thing that was a bit bothering was the loud construction side next to it.

My husband and I really liked this hotel. The location is great-the beach is right across the street. The hotel is very clean with beautiful plants and a koi pond. Breakfast was very nice with an egg station for omelettes.

great spot

Staff were amazing. Room was great. Best part of the beach right across the road. Only negative was that the balcony was looking straight at a wall that was very close so we never used it. huge design flaw. Other than that, i would recommend for sure.

Good value but watch out for building work.

This location is all about the beautiful, clean and uncrowned beach. Huge choice of restaurants and cafes along the coast road and on the beach. Hotel is modern and clean; the young staff are eager to please. Communication skills in English are improving, but have a bit further to go. Rooms are small but modern and well-serviced. On the downside, current building work to extend the hotel impacts the peaceful environment. When completed the facilities should be enhanced but no doubt the current reasonable price may be hiked up. At present it's a good deal in comparison with others in the area.

Un bel hôtel au calme et bien situé.

Nous étions dans le bungalow, situé au bout d'une allée dans un endroit vraiment calme. La chambre avec l'espace salon étaient bien agréable avec beaucoup de clarté. La salle de bain bien agencée. Le petit déjeuné servit près de la piscine était copieux et savoureux. Attention à certains endroits du petit déjeuner, il fallait quitter ses chaussures, donc bien choisir l'espace avec chaussures. Nous étions à la fin de notre séjour et on saturait d'enlever nos chaussures depuis 1 mois. La piscine bien située et toujours ensoleillée a été unpetit plus, même si la mer est proche.

Chaque mètre carré de l'hôtel est utilisé pour créer un espace jardin magnifique, un vrai bijou botanique. De ma chambre, quoi de mieux qu'une vue sur la forêt tropicale chaque matin à mon réveil. La plage est juste à côté, des transats sont réservés pour les clients de l'hôtel sans oublier qu'on vous fournit les serviettes de plage. De plus, en rentrant on peut piquer une tête dans la piscine de l'hôtel. Le petit déjeuner se présente sous forme de buffet très bien fourni, varié, savoureux, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Remarquable propreté de l'hôtel. La navette pour l'aéroport a été prise en charge par l'hôtel, Quant au personnel, ses membres sont vraiment aux petits soins, bienveillants et disponibles.
