"This beach is a fantastic spot to relax with family and friends this summer. They offer beach and pool access, along with top-notch food and service. Kids can enjoy activities like clowns, free balloons, face/body painting, and an inflatable bouncer. It's definitely worth a visit and I'll be returning soon. 👌🏻 Be sure to check out my post on Instagram: @jassy_chic."

"Riva Beach Club is fantastic. It costs 100 AED to access the beach, with an additional fee for the poolside area. The music is just right, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is not too crowded. The bar offers a nice variety of beer and cocktails, and the restaurant is top-notch. If you're looking to unwind and have a good time, Riva is the place to go."
