Sandwiched between the main road and a lagoon, with Mandrem Beach in the distance, Riva Beach Resort is a quiet, elegant, three-and-a-half pearl boutique resort with 78 rooms. All the units are spacious and elegant, and come with air-conditioning, dark-wood furniture, balconies (some with sea views), and lovely marble bathrooms. The facilities aren't too shabby either, and while there's no fitness center, there is a yoga pavilion that guests can use along with bicycle, kayak, and ATV rentals -- plus an Ayurvedic spa. There's a restaurant with a free extensive breakfast buffet and lovely views over the hotel's large outdoor pool. Travelers looking for a similar vibe closer to the action may want to consider Tamarind Hotel in Anjuna -- just note that unlike Riva, it's not on the beach.
