Upon my departure I was reading all of the recent reviews on this hotel .... As I was preparing myself ........ I believe the bad reviews were from the "RIU TROPICAL BAY HOTEL WHICH NOW IS CURRENTLY CLOSED AND BEING RENOVATED... RUMOUR HAD IT FROM A LOCAL IT WAS BEING TURNED INTO A COLLEGE ***FYI the housekeepers only make $200.00... more

We didn't get to stay where we booked far, far in advance which is the Riu Negril ClubHotel. After arriving we were asked to step to the side when we were told "you are in the wrong place". They originally tried to convince up we messed up and booked at the wrong hotel. Accept they were holding a sheet of... more

Stayed at the Riu Negrl in mid-August 08 and had a great time. Check-in - Nice and quick. Boyfriend and I (we're in our mid-20s) both got a welcome coctail (or two) and the service was fast. We had originally requested an oceanfront room on the second floor in building 2 after reading the reviews...got everything we wanted except on... more

Had a great holiday in Negril at this excellent hotel. The staff were superb, always smiling and helping everyone to have a wonderful holiday. Check out Christine the housekeeper, always smiling and happy. The standard of service from all staff from reception to cleaning staff was exemplary. Food was great - you can queue for the a la carte restaurants... more

This is our second stay at a Riu Resort. We stayed there with another couple who have been to Jamaica before (not Negril). We got to stay in the second building away from the main complex so it wasn't too hot of a walk to get to the bar! The place is pretty and the beach was OK. The rooms... more

Not sure why any negative reviews, this was a really nice vacation at a nice resort. Good food and lots of it, and variety, even for us picky gourmet vegetarians! Everything was clean, friendly, nice, my 4 year old loved it. I suggest bringing your own raft to blow up since they don't have them. Also no hammocks! Strange! It's... more
