Beautiful resort, friendly staff, great entertainment. Very good vacation- just too short- needed 1 more day! but a fun time- will definitely go again! Only downside was food was not very flavorful- will know next time to pre-book @ restaurants- don't wait til you get there because reservations are full!

Anniversary Trip

The overall experience was good. A good value for the money. A couple of negatives for this facility were, Internet access is only available in the hotel lobby area and mattress was not very comfortable(tooo firm). Would recommended as an inexpensive quick getaway!

Absolutely awesome!

Staff was wonderful! Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating, always had a smile to give! Entertainment was great, plenty of activities and the drinks were always flowing! Food was better than I expected (mostly due to other reviews I had read online) and there was always plenty of it. Beach and pool were clean and grounds very well kept. Beds were slightly uncomfortable, but overall the room was clean with plenty of space. Close to different activities/excursions, shuttles were convenient and easy. The weather ended up being perfect as well - only rained one day and for about a half hour and then complete sunshine. Definitely recommend this resort; I plan on hopefully going back soon!

Great resort

Everything was great! The only problem we had was the beach. Bring water shoes because it is full of seaweed and mud. Also, there is no bar on the beach so if you want a drink you have to walk pretty far to get one. We loved the restaraunts and entertainment.

Make sure you make all your dinner reservations right when you get there, otherwise you will get the late ones, or they will be full. Out of all 3 we only ate at the steak house and it was great.

33rd Wedding Anniversary

We had a wonderful time, there was no reason to leave the compound and go anywhere everything is right there, there is always some form of activities and entertainment. At night the entertainment is fantastic, food extremely good, we ate too much, the staff they are so friendly and courteous. Our room was filled with booze, unfortunately for us we are not heavy drinkers so we had mixed fruity drinks from the bars, we even had coconut water freshly picked, we are making plans to go back at the end of the year and we have told all our friends about this place.

A ridiculously great value

Only complaints: The beds are a little uncomfortable, but after a night of drinking you don't care. Also, I left a digital camera and some other things in the room. My fault, I know, but nothing was returned to lost and found. All in all, I'd recommend this all inclusive to anyone and everyone!

Good value, but lackluster in some areas

Can't beat the value with Riu Jamaica. The hotel rooms were great; the pool and bars were clean and stocked; close to the airport and downtown. However, compared to the Riu in Guancaste Costa Rica (first and only Riu experience for most of our group), this hotel lacked a lot in a few specific areas. The food quality was not the greatest; the staff was ordinary and lacked the "extra-mile" that we saw in Costa Rica; and the tour company selected by the hotel was completely awful.

Sightseeing tip: In Hotel

Avoid the JTL company in the lobby. We booked all of our excursions through them on the first day and were extremely disappointed with all of them. One example was the trip to Negril. They took us to Margaritaville in Negril (not as good as the one in Montego Bay) for 3 hours. Then went to a non-authenticate mall to shop for an hour. Finally they took us to Rick's Cafe (which is supposed to be the main attraction). We spent only an hour there. We had to rush to eat our meal and did not have any time at all to try the cliff jumps. Very poor time allocation by the tour company.

Nice Resort

Food was good, drinks were great and plentiful. Very fun resort. The only thing I didn't like was that our room had a musty smell to it, but we just ignored it. Could smell it on our clothes when we returned home.
