Mar 17, 2025Great Trip to Jamaica
Our first trip and we will be back. Staff was amazing. The food in the buffet and a la cartes was excellent. Spark & Lily on the RiuFit team were fun and very good at what they did truly made it an enjoyable experience. Also Curtis on the beach was friendly and fun to talk to . Ice from HR was also out and around to meet the guests . It was a great trip and we will be back ! Thanks so much.

Amazing
It was a great resort to stay at; everyone was so nice, friendly, and welcoming. The view from our room was lovely. The food was great, and I am a picky eater. Overall, 10/10. I’ll most definitely go back there.

NEW GEM IN JAMAICA
It was an amazing stay. We stayed before in RIU Negril and Hilton Rose Hall Montego Bay. We love the convenience of 30 min ride from the airport and beautiful beach that is comparable to Negril. Great food professional entertainment and brand new resort design made our stay fabulous. Location of the water park 2 minutes walk from adult pool was a plus too for our 7 years old. We will be back.

Mar 16, 2025Would stay again
I was hesitant to book this hotel, due to the reviews. This was a last minute planned trip, and I have never stayed at a Riu before, I like a different caliber hotel. I booked directly with Riu, took advantage of the fee airport transfer, that all went smooth. Check in, I would say dont expect to check in early on your day of arrival. Upon getting my room (which was a 2bedroom family suite Oceanview), upon entrance I was disappointed. The room had no view at all, there is a big white brick wall that is on the balcony, so you have no view unless you are standing to hang over the balcony. These rooms should not be marketed as ocean view. The manager on schedule tried to help change rooms, but that ultimately didn't work out. because we would've had to get two separate rooms down the hall and that defeated the purpose. The rooms were clean and very spacious, and bed was comfortable. I was able to get restaurant reservations, as I researched and was prepared for this. We stayed 4 nights, dinner at the buffet one night, and had specialty restaurant reservations every other night. The food was a 10/10 for all inclusive, and I am picky. I ate from the Jamaican station in the buffet for breakfast daily, and it was delicious. drinks were as expected at an all inclusive. Pools were nice, beach was nice too, some rocks but nice and clean. service was great from the service to entertainment. I think it was family friendly, but didn't seem overrun with little ones either. I traveled with a teen and a young adult, there are two adult pools that have swim up bars, and no teens or children are allowed in that water AT ALL. The entertainment went pretty late, they don't have a club, but they have parties with DJ's on the beach, foam parties and lots to do. We were never bored. I left today and after 5 days of being there, yes, I would return for another visit.
