I visited the RIU Ocho in November, 2011 over the US Thanksgiving Holiday. It was my first trip to Jamaica and being a solo traveler I was a bit nervous. The shuttle ride to the resort was fun, exciting and uneventful. Upon arriving at the RIU Ocho, the first thing you see is a beautiful open lobby with a fantastic... More

Awesome vacation, the hotel has free of charge activities out in the beach which are nice to have. The food is great specially the jerk chicken that is served everyday at noon, cooked on smokers right there on the beach! The service was good, i'm used to the drinks coming to be but it was okay, nice friendly staff. Clean... More

Had an absolutely wonderful vacation at the Riu, Ocho Rios!! A beautiful property with amazing staff. Our daughter decided she wanted her wedding at the Riu. We couldn't have asked for a better place. The ceremony and the private reception was ideal and the staff could not have been more accommodating. They joined in for the dancing and made the... More

I had read so many negative reviews that I was skeptical upon arrival. Don't listen to the negative reviews. We enjoyed our stay so much that we didn't want to leave and we want to return in the future. We stayed for 7 days. Upon arrival, Jermaine took us to our rooms. He showed us wear to eat, around our... More

We stayed at the riu in an ocean front for 6 nights in may. I've traveled to numerous all-inclusives throughout the Caribbean. We chose the riu because we got a great deal through Expedia. I don't understand these bad reviews at all!! You're paying for a moderately priced all inclusive. It is not a 5 star property by far but... More

Right me and my partner travel to Riu Ocho Rios on Monday 7th May and stayed for 2weeks and it was absolutely amazing from the hotel, food, entertainment staff to the cleaning staff. I was a bit neverous before travelling as I read some of the reviews on here and people were complaining about the slightest thing mainly about the... More

The bus ride to the hotel from the airport is long; almost 2 hours. However we had a very friendly and funny bus driver who kept us entertained the whole way. We were disappointed to find two twin beds pushed together instead of a king bed. Our room also had a strange musty smell, which was infused in all our... More
