Stayed at the Riu Feb. 3-10. I can truly say, after much hesitation reading previous reviews, the Riu is an extremely nice resort. It is large, so if you're looking for a smaller, personable resort - look elsewhere. We did have a bit of a glitch with our rooms upon arriving, but nothing that wasn't taken care of.

I booked this hotel in early January and then read all the reviews on TripAdvisor. I have to say, the reviews made me super nervous and almost regretted booking the trip. Now that I have been to Negril, I can now share my thoughts. The transfer from the airport to the hotel was not as bad as people describe. We... More

I read so many complaints of this hotel on the website, that I was debating whether or not to come to the Riu at all. I have to say though, it’s a good thing we did. Upon arrival it took hotel staff less than two minutes to check us in. Our room was ready upon arrival, and unfortunately we were... More

As one who does not find pleasure in criticizing, I'll first begin with the good attributes of Riu Negril. The common areas--the lobby, dining room, pool, the beach--were very lovely. Most of the staff were quite friendly during our stay. Grilled jerk chicken was served on the beach nearly every day and was definitely a treat. The drinks were flowing... More

I had never been to Jamaica before, so this was a new trip for me. I was traveling Feb 4-8, 2012 with a group of 6 girls (ages 28-34 years old) for a girls' weekend. I was overall very happy with our experience at RIU Negril (ClubHotel). With the exception of our check in experience (do you know you can't... More

In the lobby as I type this review. If you are looking for a clean resort w great bartenders, nice pools and a beautiful beach you will love this place. If you are looking for room service and fine dining you'll be heavily let down. My wife and I dont complain about much and we're happy overall w Riu Negril... More

After reading reviews of this hotel, we were a little worried, as we had already booked. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, food was good and staff could not have been nicer or tried any harder to please. Would agree with review from Kath and Keith that it would have been good to have a quiet piano... More

It was a very good typical Riu hotel. Excellent choice of food, good pool areas and easy access to all facilities. The excursions were on the expensive side for example Dunns river trip was €275 each and 7 hours travelling, so we decided not to do it. It would have been nice to have a quite piano bar as some...

My husband and I stayed at the Riu from January 21-26th. I bought the trip through Apple as a square deal to surprise the hubby for our 5 year wedding anniversary. At first, after booking I was quite worried with reading all the horrific reviews. I cannot stress it enough on how inaccurate they are! We stayed in buidling 2.... More
