great honeymoon

The people at the hotel were very friendly. They went out of their way to make sure that we were enjoying our stay there. The food was good and the room was very nice. We enjoyed our honeymoon there and would consider going back for an anniversary trip in the future.

A GREAT PLACE TO VACATION and RELAX

The RIU Tropical Bay Resort was a Great place to vacation!!! My wife and I just relaxed and had a wonderful time. We have already decided to go there again next year:) We have been to Hawaii 3 times in the past, and have decided that we have enjoyed this place as much and if not better then Hawaii, and we didn't have to fly 12 hours to get there. The resort personnel could not have been any more friendlier or helpful from the welcome drink at the front desk to the last goodbye they were GREAT! :):) The Dunns River Falls trip was Good also.

Great value for money!

Probably one of the best bargains in Negril. Staff is excellent. Jerk chicken is the best! Location is great too. Large suites. However, be careful with the beds. We had two twin beds joined together because they ran out of rooms with king sized beds. The beds are one of the firmest I have ever slept on. All in all, this is one vacation that I will never forget.

Great beach

We were very pleased with the hotel overall. The food and drinks were great and the beach was awesome. The only negative was the pool. It was a bit cold and dirty. Every morning I would watch a guy clean the border around the pool rinse his broom inside the pool, leaving a sandy scum to float around the edge of the pool all day. I was really more interested in the beach anyway.

Very accommodating

Riu Tropical Bay is a very lovely resort. There is lots to do on the resort, and the 24 hour food options make it hard to want to leave the resort. This is my third stay at Riu. If there was something that I did not like as much is the food choices. They had a lot of food options, but the choices did not go together. For instance, they would have meat choices with random side dishes that did not necessarily go with the meat choices. They also did not have any beef or turkey meat choices for breakfast, so we had to work with that. Overall however, it is a great hotel with very friendly staff and they do work at trying to accommodate your needs.

Great Stress Reliever

Our Jamaican vacation started upon walking into the elegant lobby of the hotel. The friendly staff immediately put us at ease. The fruit basket and welcome note in our room really enhanced our mood to have fun, which we did for the time we were there. The beach was fantastic. My wife wouldn't let me go to bed until I danced until 2 o' clock each morning at the disco. The food was great, especially the local fare and the gourmet restaurants.

Nice hotel

From the day we set foot in the hotel to the day we left, the staff was very friendly and always enjoyed us being their as their guest. The beach was soo pretty and the water was so clear. We travel between may20-26 and it rain only one time. The entertainment staff is also great. Food was good, but it was a pain to work up at 8am to reserve for a sitdown dinner, but it was worth the early wake up. We didn't do any touring, the locals always trying to charge you more than they are required and we stayed in the hotel the entire vacation.

fabulous vacation spot

From the moment we arrived, the friendly and outgoing staff mde us fell so welcome and comfortable. Any extra requests (a blanket when it was unusually cool, spare reading glasses when mine broke, extra water for the room)were taken care of immediately and with a smile. The staff kept saying "we're here to serve you"...anything you want! Any one who can't find something here to eat is crazy......there's sooooo much to choose from!They keep the place spotless.....always someone sweeping or raking or cleaning, and always with a smile! We booked our airport transportation with Jamaica Tours thru [...], and were very pleased...nice buses, informative drivers. Splurge for an ocean front room.....it's definitely worth it, as you have a nice balcony and only about 30 yards from the water!
