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.

    Amazing

    I was looking for something to complain about in this resort, unfortunately for me there is honestly nothing out of the ordinary to complain about. From the arrival on the lobby to the departure, it was just amazing. The staff, the food…OMG the food is excellent, the service in all the areas was memorable. The house keeping personnel did great job maintaining the facility and the rooms top notch. The beach was absolutely clean as you cannot imagine. The entertainment was great. I just wish that that they have after night party for adult from 11P till morning…but you can entertain yourself in your room I guess.

    Great place on earth

    We had an amazing vacation! We stayed in building 0 Few things can be improved: 1. Electrical outlets do not hold electric cord. Bad connection 2. Safe buttons do not work or got pressed multiple times when we only clicked it once. 3. TV broadcast quality was not that good. May be bad cable. 4. Weak WiFi on the Beach.

    pure pleasure

    This was one of my best trips. Sometimes during a vacation there are some negative comments. But this is a rare case when there were no comments at all. Everything was great. 10 out of 10!

    RIU PALACE IN DECEMBER

    I love this hotel, it was my first time going to this one, I am a Ocho Rios fan, been there about 7 times so far, the buffet servers was real nice, they remember you and where you usually sit, which makes you feel important, only thing missing was fried dumplings and ackee, which my group was expecting, love the shows at night, the jerk chicken on the beach was slamming. Was there for a wedding in December

    Great place and location

    Amazing time at the resort! The staff was incredible for the most part and the facilities were very clean and welcoming. A lot of activities to do. The restaurants were good, but very hard to book or utilize the app at all, and the staff will keep directing you to use it even though it’s not great nor is making a reservation through it a given. The beach and water are beautiful and felt very safe. The hidden gem is the local bar down the beach, about a 5 min walk. The office of Nature!! Do not miss out on the vibes and fresh lobster. FYI, there are a lot of families and kids running around at all times. Beware the staff/resort photographers will stalk you, especially if you have woman with you. Seemed like they would appear out of thin air and hound them, the second I left the lady’s alone.
