The Hotel Riu Palace Tropical Bay (All Inclusive 24h), is located at the famous Bloody Bay beach in Negril, Jamaica, one of the best resorts in the area par excellence. Its Victorian style inspires harmony and calmness surrounded by a 47,000 m2 garden.

There‘s no better way to relax than in a Riu Palace with all the options for relaxation it has to offer. The complex includes two fresh water swimming pools, a solarium terrace, gym, Jacuzzi, sauna, the “Renova Spa” wellness centre and a vast beach where you can sunbathe and enjoy a drink.

The 24h All Inclusive system gives you the opportunity to sample the best Jamaican cuisine prepared by our chefs for the buffet restaurant or the delicious menus in the themed restaurants: a wide variety to satisfy every palate.

We recommend you to try out the entertainment programme that the Riu Palace Tropical Bay has organised for all ages. For adults and children alike, there are endless activities to do as a family, couple or with friends. The complex includes two tennis courts, table tennis, a gym, volleyball, windsurfing, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking, bodyboarding, diving and other water activities. For the children, there is a playground near the beach and an entertainment programme where they can enjoy a range of activities with our entertainers. Jamaica harbours many secrets and wonderful places. You mustn’t miss excursions to the thermal springs of Rhodes, Hall Plantation, the crowded Seven Mile Beach, The Great Morass where you can see endemic birds and American crocodiles, or Roaring River, a cave where you can swim and see harmless bats. If you like to play golf, the Negril Hills course is perfect for enjoying a game. In Negril you can also go cycling through the hills which offer splendid photo opportunities. .

Fall in love with Negril and have your best holiday at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay.

    Paradise

    Had another amazing time at this hotel, despite the Tropical storm while we were there which left lots of sea weed on the beach which hotel was slow to clear. Staff are all amazing and will do anything to make your stay amazing. Good in evenings in buffet is repetitive but good, we exhausted the speciality restaurants and went through all the menus in the 2 weeks we were there, steak we found always inedible (tough) in all restaurants but lots of other choices we had amazing rooms in block 6. We will be back again next year

    6th Stay at RIU Tropical Bay

    This resort is always amazing. The beach simply cannot be beat and the staff are so incredibly wonderful. The only thing I noticed this time around is that the food wasn't quite as good. Don't get me wrong, I certainly didn't go hungry but it has been better and more plentiful in the past.

    great place

    The whole experience was first class, the reception staff were delightful. The bar staff in the Daiquari bar were great, particularly Alicia who was so eager to please all the time. In the buffet restaurant, Daniel and Ioni were outstanding, as were his whole team.

    Excellent Customer sevice

    Pro's and Con's or Tropical Bay. First let me say their Cusomer service is over the top. Employees were always willing to help, polite and would take time to help you Upon check we were checked in by Beverly. We had some special request of which she took care of and then tried to do more. Whatever they pay her, its not enough. Over all the hotel is prestine. The booze is good, the buffet is wonderful. One downfall ( this is our opinion) The Asian, Italian, and steak house ( the steak house is just place set aside outside) were a let down. Asian was not what we expected as well as the Italian. The Steak at the Steak house was like shoe leather. In summery would I return, yes. The beach is one of the best in the Caribbean, always had enough chairs at beach and pool.
