The property was average in most respects: 1. The check-in was with glitches showing a lack of proper planning. I had to wait three hours to get a room, as they assigned to me the one room that was probably cleaned last. 2. The staff ranged from surly and abrupt to overly friendly, you never knew what you were going to get when approaching someone. I attribute that a a lack of training which leads to a lack of professionalism. 3. The local store was outrageously overpriced. I paid $34 for a bottle of sunscreen that costs $8 on Amazon. It is not as much the money as it is the feeling I was getting that I was being ripped off. 4. On the positive side the food and food service was good, lots of variety, the food looked fresh and was well prepared.

I enjoyed myself at hotel RIU Negril, especially the swim aerobics with Shanalee and how she engaged us to participate. I would come back just to see Shanalee and do swim aerobics with her, Shanalee really worked me out and taught me a few exercises that I can use at home. I plan on coming back and would love to see Shanalee at Hotel RIU Negril her energy is indescribable and she makes you want to follow her all day and do everything she do. I love how Shanalee would come find me and tell me what’s going on for the day and make sure I come participate which makes being at hotel RIU Negril that much nicer, I am a person that likes to be acknowledged on vacation and Shanalee did just that made me feel extra special during my stay and for that I will be back.

Overall our experience at the RIU Negril was good. This was our first family all inclusive trip. There were other kids there but not many. Was hoping for more activities to keep the kids busy so us adults could have fun as well. The swim up bar is where the fun usually happens but does not allow kids so we could not really enjoy it much. The food options were ok but menu selection was slim at the restaurant that required reservations. The biggest down fall was needing reservations at restaurants but not being able to make them until 48 hrs before. The first two days we had to eat at the buffet or sports bar which was ok but nothing great. Even when we did have reservations there were plenty of open tables so people coming in that day could have eaten there. Personally would have liked to see more restaurant choices. We did the catamaran cruise that took us snorkeling and then Rick’s Cafe. That was fun and the snorkeling with the guide was nice but not for young kids. We paid for our 10 and 13 year old and they didn’t end up going because it was a far swim and we were not comfortable having them be that far from the boat. All the staff was great and was very accommodating. Bar tenders were awesome. They kept it fun and kept the atmosphere energetic, especially our boys Nicole and Tyrese. They rocked it! Also, the activities crew was fun and did a great job, especially BRYAN and Pineapple. Really can’t say anything bad about anyone. They all were great.

This a Beautiful hotel but just not how we like to enjoy JA. It’s basically a cruise ship of land. We couldn’t get into any of the restaurants for dinner & the one time we did eat dinner the first night at the buffet and it was not good. They want you to do everything via the app but it doesn’t work always . They are really strict about the pool towels & plastic cups . It’s got a lot of entertainment going on all the time which is good if you like that stuff. It was a fine stay just not for us . Back to Charela in July .

The Riu Negril was a fantastic place to stay, staff were pleasant and attentive. It was almost impossible to get a reservation at any of the restaurants but the buffet food was great, lots of options and well stocked. The beach was great, the sand was soft and clean and the water was divine. One word of warning, bugs come out at dusk and if you’re on the beach or around a bunch of greenery you will get bitten.
