"We had our family event at La Rivera and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The space is beautiful, peaceful, and really well maintained,

it felt like a mini escape for everyone. Our guests loved the relaxed vibe and kept saying how nice it was to spend time there. We also got to meet the owners, and they made us feel right at home. It was a special experience that brought everyone together.

We’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a laid-back and memorable place to celebrate."

"La Rivera was the perfect place for our wedding. From the ceremony under the trees to the dinner that followed, everything felt intimate, elegant, and completely ours.

Our guests loved staying on-site in the beautiful suites, which made the whole weekend feel like a retreat with family and friends. The staff handled every detail with so much care, and the food was incredible, people are still talking about it.

We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful or stress-free way to celebrate our marriage."
Robert Serebrinsky
"Our company retreat at La Rivera exceeded every expectation. The setting itself is breathtaking, and the combination of luxury and nature created the perfect environment for both relaxation and team-building.

Between meetings, we enjoyed pickleball, the pool, and evenings by the fire pit, it struck the perfect balance of productivity and connection. The staff made everything seamless, from meals tailored to our group to coordinating vendors for our event.

Having the entire resort to ourselves made it feel private and exclusive. We’ll definitely return to for future retreats."
