The AC was out or locked on 80F for the entire stay. RIU management failed to address the issue and stopped returning calls after the first night. We slept each night in pools of our own sweat. Other amenities were great, but NO AC in a “5-star” resort? UNACCEPTABLE.😡😡😡

I want to give this place a 5 star but just can’t because the AC didn’t work last 2 days of our stay and it was very difficult to get dinner reservations. Everything else was awesome.

RIU is a relaxing and well-staffed resort. They offer a great variety of dining options both in the restaurants and buffet-style meals with authentic local flavors and international cuisines (could use more variety of local peppa condiments though!). We were a large group of 30 people and the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating.

The customer service in the hotel was awful, people who work at the buffet were horrible, and the attention was inappropriate. When I got to the room from the pool in the afternoon there was no soap, and no conditioner, I called the reception to send someone to put the soap and conditioner and they never reached out to the room. Then i talked to Arturo the sub- director of the hotel, and he was the one who solved my issue. The variety of food in the buffet was really bad, the same food the entire week I stayed at the hotel. The only good thing that I would say the hotel had was the BEACH, AMAZING AND INCREDIBLY BEACH.

Had an awesome stay at the RIU Palace Tropical Bay in Negril. The beach is beautiful (no seaweed or rocks, nice clear/warm water). The jerk hut on the beach served delicious food that we had for lunch every day. In fact, the food in general was great (from the buffet to the à la carte restaurants). Loved the fresh omelettes in the mornings and the steak served at each restaurant is delicious! The bartenders are friendly, hilarious and fun. The vendors on the beach were a bit pushy. My best advice is to ignore them and don’t even make eye contact. Transportation is a 1.5-2 hour bus ride from Montego Bay airport. We booked with Jamaica Tours Limited and can’t complain, they were on time and bus drivers were friendly. On the way, our driver taught us a bit about the towns on the way, Jamaican culture and lifestyle.

Staff were great as was service. Facilities and the room were nice. Food completely average, not great but not bad….room service is not good at all, and the 24 hour snack lounge is terrible. Coffe bar was great, as were the regular bars but there are zero top shelf options at this resort. There is also very little to no nightlife at this resort. It’s a very low energy quiet resort for sure. We didn’t hate our stay but we also didn’t really enjoy it much. The beach is amazing and was the only reason we decided to stay here to start with. Hope that helps.
