We are on the Great Loop. A slip holder at Riviera is also on the Loop and we contracted with them to use their slip for 6 weeks. Timing worked for both of us.
The Marina staff is "over the top". They helped us into the slip, check on us later that day. Every morning the staff walks the dock. If we are out, they ask again.
Pump out are on Tuesdays for the dock we are on but needed one earlier. No hesitation.
Very protected harbour.
Neighbouring boats all are friendly.

We purchased our vessel at this marina and was lucky enough to enjoy 4 months here. The office staff helped us find an oversized slip to help the "Newbies" acclimate to docking and maneuvering. The dock crew was always helpful and pleasant. This marina set the bar for us to measure any others. Protected, with a nice restaurant and bar. Swimming pools and grills were maintained and useful. Marina of Excellence.

Excellent Marina and great staff. Fuel dock attendants are very helpful. Always fill my fuel there. Lowest Gas and Diesel prices in the area.

Great marina. Spend a month here June 2017. Very cordial staff, well maintained docks & facilities. Responsive and fix things with no delay. Restaurant is good, and very popular. Music most nights. Comfortable swimming pools. Only drawback is the wi-fi. Not as strong as I'd like, but wi-fi is not a top focus of most marinas (though most will say theirs is top notch).

Excellent hurricane hole, man made lagoon, great floating docks, upscale restaurant on site. No large sailboats because of 40 fixed bridge.
