Positives: The hotel itself isn't bad, nicely appointed rooms (we had an ocean front room on the 3rd floor), beds were a little hard for my taste (I prefer pillow tops). The staff was very friendly and helpful - Two employees that must be mentioned for their above and beyond service are Kate-Dee at the front desk and bartender Gregory.... More

We just returned from our trip at the Riu in Montego Bay. I must admit I was a bit nervous after reading some of the negative reviews but tried to remain open minded. We had an amazing time!! I think most of the people that had nothing but negative things to say must be very hard to please. We arrived... More

We traveled this week as a group of 20 to Jamaica on Sunwing for our son's wedding. We arrived on the 11th at 4 am but were treated as though we had arrived on the 10th because after 6 nights (on the 17th) we were thrown out of our hotel room although we had paid for 7 nights. On departure,... More

Stayed for the first week of September 2011 and it was a lovely holiday. The all-inclusive food and drink was excellent, with food available throughout the entire day. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the overall experience was great! We did not explore Jamaica much, as there was lots to do at the hotel, with entertainment throughout the day. More

The RIU is great because everyone is ridiculously friendly. They have pretty good food and the drinks never end.nyou even get our very own beverage/liquor ispenser in your room! They refill the fridge daily as well, which is fantastic. If you're here for the ocean, you may be disappointed though... The beach is just ok. I prefer my wn South... More

First of all we have stayed at several different Riu's properties. We really like the Riu's..saying that our over all rating of this facility would be average. Some staff meembers seemed to have poor attitudies but most were very friendly. My biggest concern was the condition of the pool. We are always at the pool early and have always seen... More

Just spent 2 weeks at this hotel and found little to complain about. The drinks are good the food is also pretty good, although I did get the occasional so-so meal both at the steakhouse (a wedding on at the time) and the asian restaurant. It does cater more for the american taste - lots of steak, pork chops, burgers... More

If you've been to a Riu, you know what to expect... you walk lots to get to the buffet, food is usually good and varied and you need to get up early to book your a la carte restaurant meals. The hotel and surroundings are lovely and the beach is nice. This Riu is no exception.... the food was not... More

Having travelled extensively to Antigua, St. Lucia, Margarita, Venezuela, Mexico, Dominican Republic, I consider we offer pretty good and honest reviews. Yes the rooms do have a slight smell but most of the Caribbean does due to the humidity. We stayed in block 5 room - 5123, the view from the balcony was of the beach and ocean. Food here... More
