My fiancé and I went to riu palace Mexico last year and it was outstanding, working hard all year we decided to book riu again and Jamaica seemed the right choice.....WRONG!! The food was terrible, both in restaurants and buffet, only thing worth eating was the jerk chicken at lunch. The rooms were dated and small, arrived at 9pm and... More

We just returned Sunday evening , after a too short 5 day stay. From the minute we arrived, the staff was welcoming, made you feel at ease, and the normal check in that one usually experiences, was hassle free. The staff had received and accomodated our request for a first floor room due to some of our physical limitations. I... More

My husband and I just returned from our second trip from the Riu Palace Tropical Bay Resort. It was just as wonderful this year as it was last year. Staff were exceptional and genuinely cared about making sure you had what you needed and/or wanted. Mario remembered us from last year and again made our stay more enjoyable always making... More

It had been five years since staying at this hotel, and it had been completely remodled. The resort is very attractive and has a great beach. it is a gradual shallow beach that has crystal clear water and little wave action. Has some shade from trees, but no other shade options. The first night dinner was unlimited lobster, but then... More

Travelled from feb 4-11 for a destination wedding. My wife and 17 month old son had a great stay. Food was great, beach was fantastic and the staff were extremely polite. My only complaint was with a man on the beach named Kenny who was representing scuba caribe where u cN rent jetskis, scubadive etc. I made arrangements with Kenny... More

Just traveled to riu palace tropical bay with 10 girlfriends. We had a great trip. The rooms were fine, nothing fancy, but clean and large. The beach and water were perfect. Clean beach, warm and turquoise water. Traveling reggae "bands" were a lot of fun. The food was very good. Steamed milk in the coffee was a big hit, the... More

The staff at RIU Palace Tropical Bay were sincerely nice and helpful. I lost my room key in the water and it was no problem to replace it immediately. Also, I locked myself out of my safe and again the manager was right on the spot to help. Food, cleanliness, entertainment all excellent with beautiful beach and bay. More

I was part of a group of 11 women who visited Negril January 2-5, 2012. The resort fit our needs perfectly, but it was not the most magnificent place to stay. The common areas (lobby, restaurants, bars, club, pool, beach) were well maintained and clean. The lobby had very strong wi-fi. We liked how the two main restaurants were open... More
