Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We traveled with 7 people ages 8 months - 46 years old. We had 2 deluxe rooms that connected to each other. We initially booked with Riviera but was relocated to Sunset because of construction on 1/2 the resort. Had option of 4 pools and beach for swimming including one kids pool and water slides. Food in buffet was average and we didn't eat at many of the restaurants "
