It took me a long time to write my experience, I usually never complain. But oh boy this was a night mare. The hotel is so nasty looking I was simply shocked. Before booking this hotel I did read the reviews, but I was thinking oh well there is always unhappy people everywhere. So let’s start with the room, its... More

So where do I start!!! fantastic weather even for May. The hotel is fabulous, spacious with a big swimming pool and there were always sunbeds available. There is a swim-up pool bar. The rooms were very large, very clean and you could get movies, sport drama etc.. on the TV.. all in English. The beds were changed every day with... More

We went in May 2013, family of 4, 2 adults and two twin girls of 2 years old. Everything, from check-in ( literally, 5 min.), to the 10 min. drive to and from Airport was a blast. After a 4-5 hours flight with two lab infants all you can dream is to settle as soon as possible in your room.... More

We arrived and it was hot and we had to wait for our room. we went for something to eat and went back to reception. Room, food, drinks, entertainment, activities, staff friendliness were all what you would expect from this 5* hotel. This was my 3rd stay in a RIU resort. I personally prefer the RIU Montego Bay due to... More

For the people who are reading this and think that people only like to complain well in this review that is NOT the case. I arrived yesterday with my boyfriend after a beautiful 7 day vacation that was completely ruined on our last day. We had gone out for dinner and the evening show only to come back to our... More

My girlfriends and I traveled there (I left my 8yr. old at home). It was 3 of us. We booked our affordable vacation through NJTravel.com and were pleasantly surprised when we received a room upgrade and a complimentary souvenir bag of Blue mountain coffee in our room a few days later. It took us only about 15 mins. from the... More

Arrived and we got a room so fast. Never before has that happened in Jamaica.. Room was nice and clean but drab looking. Islands should be colorful I think. We were lucky to have had bottom level room because there are no elevators. The halls are all marble and so loud. When people would come back late you would hear... More

Im back from a 7 day vacation at the Riu and I must say it was great! Don't listen to the bad reviews. Food was great and fresh in the main buffet (a la carte not really worth it) and everything was very very clean. The jerk chicken on the beach is delicious and I just had to have it... More

My husband and I just returned from a week long stay at the Riu Montego Bay... I had booked this trip, then saw these negative reviews, so I was a bit apprehensive - and for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL! I just have to say, there's obviously no pleasing some people, no matter how hard you try. The resort is... More
