Review by hotel critic
Riva-La-Vista in Cooktown truly encapsulated the essence of a cozy retreat, a true haven for any traveler looking to immerse themselves in nature. Our ensuite room provided an expansive view over the Endeavour River, where we indulged in sunset views that simply took our breath away - the sort of vistas that feel like they've been painted into the sky. The cleanliness of the space was exceptional, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches from our host Terri, who made us feel right at home with her warm hospitality and local insights. Dining in the spacious open kitchen while enjoying the surrounding beauty set the perfect backdrop for shared laughter and good conversations with fellow guests. This base is not just a getaway; it's a serene sanctuary where one can unwind and recharge, conveniently located just a short drive from town. I couldn't recommend Riva-La-Vista enough; whether you're with friends or just need a moment for yourself, this place is pure bliss for nature lovers and weary souls alike.
