We stayed here for one night before moving our efforts with the family towards Negril... The hotel is nicknamed "Purple Dragon" since it's purple color is quite apparent during the night time... The beach was very inviting some stones and few rocks that we saw, however our room was on the 1st floor so it was easy for the kids... More

Having stayed here on a few occasions(on short trips), I am very familiar with the facilities which are nice and conveniently located close to the airport. Have also enjoyed the staff and service last year especially. My last trip in January however kept me off the beach, catching some kind of stomach bug at the buffet(entirely unusual for me and...

Let me start off by saying that this resort is not a 5 start resort. Maybe in a past life it was. I was there with a group of friends and family for a wedding, which was pretty good down on the beach. The accomodations are pretty nice. The food on the resort is average at most, with the execption... More

After reading reviews on this website, we were hesitant about our 6 day trip to Riu, Montego Bay- boy are these reviews WRONG! The Riu montego bay is comprised with the most beautiful facilities, rooms, pools, beach and staff- to say the least. When we arrived, we were greeted with our vitamins (rum and punch) and checked in . We... More

Was a bit concerned when I read some of the reviews about the hotel and staff before we came but the food, room and especially the staff were excellent. The entertainment at night was a bit hit and miss for our taste but the entertainment team gave 100% every night. More

I have been to many RIU resorts. This one is average at best. Average food, repetitious, HARD beds....and if you are looking for a quiet location......NO ONE MENTIONS THE FACT THAT YOU ARE SITTING ONE MILE FROM THE END OF THE RUNWAY. VERY, VERY, VERY LOUD. Never again for me at THIS RIU. More

We just returned from the RIU after spending 6 nights there. I always look at the reviews before and after a trip and make comparisons. I just read a review from Louisville that had a one out of five rating and complained about almost everything. I'm thinking that party must have been staying "up on the hill" or is being... More

Just an average place. Food was not very good, same food every day in the buffet and mostly greasy. Separate restaurants weren't very good either and my husand and I aren't picky eaters. One night in the Italian Restaurant I found a large bug in my salad of which the waiter made no reply, just walked away. Grounds were pretty... More
