4 nites a ASM. we are 49 and 44 with a 9 year old and our oldest are 20 and 22, they did not go. for us this resort would have been better if we had went when our oldest was 9 and we were younger and more in tune with the others who were staying here. they were 20s and 30s with little ones mostly. did have a couple of problems and before those cards and letters start rolling in, this disclaimer. i am going to relate these events EXACTLY the way they happened there is no racial slur intended. i stopped at the singing spirits pool bar for a beer one afternoon and a british family, husband, wife, daughter and son in law, sat down near me. near them was a black man who had had way to much to drink he started bothering them with statements like "this place is BO BO man only f---ing po people stay here, if people here had any money they would be at the beach club" and "the only f---ing reason im here is i dont have a job and its all i can afford. these comments went on for more than twenty minutes and the bartender did nothing. those people from england are going home and telling their friends about us drunken loudmouthed vulgar americans. i would probably not even tell you this exept for what happened two nites later. we got our supper at the food court and took it outside to eat it. the tables outside are near, you guessed it, the pool bar. there were 3 black ladies there and one of them was in charge of 3 very handicapped adult men, so much so that all they could do is sit in their wheel chairs and wave their arms at everyone who walked by and say things that could not be understood. the one or ones in charge parked them facing away from the bar in the walkway behind it. the 3 ladies were getting drunk and ignoring their charges. what were they doing there, these men deserve outings but i hardly believe that is what the state of Florida has in mind?? th ladies were yelling for the bar manager and complaining that the music was not loud enough and cussing and swearing that they could not get "off" so maybe they should switch to something stronger. my DD was frightened and wanted to take our food back to the room. again no one did anything and believe me a lot of people were offended about both incidents. the cast members in the food court were not very good either, they rang up the wrong stuff or rang up to much etc etc. cant give this place a good rating would not stay there again. 6 nites at RIVERSIDE. BRAVO RIVERSIDE!!!!!!!!!!! i cant say enough nice things about this resort, cast members well trained and attentive, service very good, rooms nice, ol man island is nice but it does need the impending rehab. it has the feel of a deluxe for a moderate price. and if you do anything while you are there you must eat breakfast at BOATWRIGHTS everything from the signature omelet to the deep fried cinnamon french toast is just wonderful. be glad to answer any questions.
