  Excellent November Stay at Riu Reggae!

  Overall, I had a great time and would return again! Facility: Riu Reggae is definitely the smaller of the three resorts that are literally next to each other. I liked this as I didn't have to go too far to get to anything. Drawback is if you don't like a bunch of music, you can't escape it if you're outside or in one of the frontal suites. But for the most part, the music adds to the vibes. My room was excellent. I had one of the frontal view suites and this one in particular essentially exits to the pool area. So my perspective is VERY skewed. I might feel differently if I were deeper inside the hotel. Facility is clean and well-kept--there are constantly people cleaning behind the guests. Food: I thought the food was good! I mostly went to the buffet. Unlike others in the group, I preferred it, especially the options at the Jamaican station. I did notice that there were times where food was recycled from a previous meal but this isn't the biggest deal to me. Entertainment: This was a highlight for me. Heads up: the parties are corny. BUT the entertainment team has to nail a hard balance--they have to meet guests in the middle of widely differing interests and norms. I think they did an excellent job considering this. If you want a club-like atmosphere, you ain't getting that. The team members are fun to talk to as well. Participate in the games and get into the spirit--you'll have fun. I also took advantage of the Scuba Caribe excursions on site--highly recommended! Alcohol/Drugs: Don't let the first rum punch at the front desk fool you, the rest are definitely watered down. I was okay with this. No one was so drunk that they got obnoxious. Everyone just vibing. Lots of people smoking weed too. If you are in recovery, I'd reconsider coming if being around a lot of drugs and alcohol could compromise your sobriety. Location: It's conveniently near the airport. You will hear planes periodically. If that's gonna PYO, then you should select another place. But for me, who was raised and currently lives near an airport, I just tune them out. Safety: I felt safe at the resort. I noticed people left their stuff out as they swam. I tend to be more cautious, especially when traveling alone. But the one time I left my phone at my lawnchair, it was still there 30mins later and I never noticed anyone approaching it. A driver is recommended if you go off the resort. There are available drivers at the resort. Weather: some rainy days, mostly sunny. This was the tail end of hurricane season. Last Note: please tip! These folks work hard to help you enjoy your vacation. My baseline was: $3 for bartenders, $2 for servers for drinks, $5 for servers as the restaurants, $10 for drivers, $5/day for housekeeping, give or take a day. Bring lots of cash.

  Best Resort Ever….!

  RIU Reggae, was one of the best resorts I have ever been to. My husband and I have been twice in one year to Jamaica. This time we went to the Adults only RIU REGGAE. Great Value For Our First Family Vaca. Location was amazing. Atmosphere amazing and Great Entertainment. Noise Level great, no complaint's From the moment we arrived until the very moment of getting off the bus to come home we have been greeted with Kindness, professionalism, and so much more. The wait staff, cooks, hotel staff and everyone that keeps the rooms, and space clean was friendly and just amazing. The Entertainment from the first night we arrived to see the Jamaican Show to our last night which was Karaoke. Was amazing! The Entertainment Team. The biggest influence of this review. They literally made the entire stay amazing. From the Welcoming attitudes in the morning to the hard-working entertainment all through the night. Always getting the crowd engaged and making us all laugh and make amazing memories with those that come with us and those we meet and become friends with. We truly can’t wait to come back to Riu Reggae again. There was also a great variety of food for everyone and it was great! Definitely will be back again!

  Lovely hotel

  Great hotel and great staff. Thoroughly enjoying the whole vacation. Only one bad part was checking in that took over 2 hours. Really slow and no information. We were the first ones at the hotel from our coach and the last ones to get into our room. Very poor. Told the Tui rep but didn’t get much response.

  The Great Escape: Clean, Friendly, and Fun

  I recently stayed solo at Riu Reggae in Montego Bay, and overall, I had a wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the property was. The public areas, restaurants, pools, and grounds were consistently spotless, and my guest room was equally immaculate throughout my stay. One of the standout aspects of this resort is the staff. Every interaction was met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. The level of customer service truly elevated the experience and made me feel welcomed from start to finish. I'd like to give special recognition to several team members who went above and beyond: Bartenders: Alofia, Andel, and Marlene, who consistently provided friendly service, great conversation, and excellent drinks. Housekeeping: Alverie and Kaydean, who kept my room spotless and ensured I had everything I needed. Minister of Merriments: Bubbles, whose energy and enthusiasm helped create a fun and engaging atmosphere around the resort. Front Desk Staff: Ryeanne and Racquell, who were always professional, helpful, and accommodating. Bellman: Oral, who provided outstanding assistance upon arrival and departure. Chantelle, who also contributed to making my stay memorable with her exceptional customer service. The resort itself has a very intimate and vibrant feel. Unlike some sprawling all-inclusive properties, it's easy to get your bearings quickly. Within about 30 minutes of arriving, I felt comfortable navigating the entire resort. The layout is straightforward and convenient. I also appreciated that the property offers different atmospheres depending on your mood. One pool area tends to be more lively and energetic, with music and activities throughout the day. The second pool, located near the restaurant, is much quieter and more relaxed, making it perfect for guests seeking a calmer environment. The beach is easily accessible from both areas and provides beautiful views and plenty of space to relax. For prospective guests, there are two things worth noting. First, because the resort is located near the airport, airplanes regularly fly overhead. Depending on flight patterns, you may notice aircraft approximately every hour. While I personally found it easy to adjust to, it may be more noticeable for those sensitive to noise. Second, room location matters. I stayed in Room 865, the first room off the lobby, and it was quite noisy, particularly in the evenings due to its close proximity to the lobby and bar area. If you're a light sleeper or prefer a quieter environment, I would recommend requesting a room farther away from those high-traffic areas. Overall, Riu Reggae offers a great combination of cleanliness, excellent service, a fun atmosphere, and convenient beach access. The dedicated staff truly set this resort apart, and their hospitality made my vacation memorable. I would gladly return and recommend this property to anyone looking for a lively yet manageable all-inclusive experience in Montego Bay

  Great stay at Riu Reggae

  Got back from Riu Reggae on the weekend and can say that Riu Reggae did not disappoint. Beach - the beach was beautiful and warm, the vendors were there in the water but we're not aggressive at all Rooms - room was clean and comfortable, fan was a little squeaky but didn't really need it on at night anyway as the air conditioning was on point Food - jerk hut on the beach was very good other food was typical resort food, could find something on the buffet and the steak house was very good. This particular Riu allowed for reservations however was not a great experience as could only get reservations for 2 nights and we stopped at one restaurant to see if there were any openings/ cancellations as there were only 6 people in it 20 minutes after opening and we were told there was no room. Liked it better when it was first come first serve as I believe the Riu's are going the reservation route Entertainment - typical resort shows but they were good and if have been to other Riu's you will notice that some of the shows are exactly the same. That being said though the steel drum band that came in one night was great Staff - all the staff were very friendly and did a great job. Bubbles with the entertainment crew kept the fun going at the pool & Michelle at the pool bar is a superstar always had a smile and made us feel like home, remembered our names from the beginning A couple of downfalls - if you have mobility issues there is only one elevator at the front of the hotel so keep that in mind as you may want to make special requests for room placement. Riu is still with the towel card system and do truly wish they would let this system go, we have only ever stayed at one other resort one time as we like the Riu's and there was no restriction on towels and it was great Would highly recommend this resort!
